位於Renton​的優質親子友善餐廳

We had an excellent date night at the melting pot. We’ve been previously, but this time we had outstanding service from our waiter Will. Looking forward to visiting again!

I took my ten year old sister for a "fancy" tea party as a Christmas gift and she rated the experience as a ten out of ten. She ordered a strawberry lemonade, which I stole a sip of and was impressed by how fresh and tasty the house made strawberry puree was. We both enjoyed our curated tea sandwiches, my favorite from the adult menu was the salmon and cucumber, her favorite from the kids was the Nutella. The second tier of the tea tray had fresh fruit and crumpets, we enjoyed the seasonal cranberry-orange jam. The dessert tier was especially yummy, and even though I'm not usually a fan of macarons, we took home a half dozen to share with the rest of the family. The shop was a bit noisy, but I attribute that to it being fully booked for the holiday season, and assume it would usually be much quieter.

Had the lobster sandwich and would definitely order it again. I’ve had lobster sandwiches before and was never impressed by them but at Water Grill I found a true lobster roll sandwich that was filled with at least 1.5 to 2 lobster tails. It is a definite reorder!! We also ordered the California Spiney Lobster and that was a clear winner too. The fries that come with the lobster roll had to be substituted for mashed potatoes because the fries didn’t look right, but it was very pleasant to see our waitress recognize this was get us something else. The Spanish Octopus appetizer is a must try. I never had seared octopus but noticed it was a popular item in Spain so we had to try it here and it did not disappoint. Also, we found this to be an ideal spot for an adult birthday dinner as it doesn’t have the wild birthday singing but a subtle and pleasantly surprising birthday dessert.

A special shout out to Jackie, our server, for the excellent service she provided. Our appetizers were spaced out, so when our meal appeared, we weren't still working on them. A big plus was when we didn't have to wait around with empty glasses, which is always nice. The food was excellent with good-sized portions for lunch specials. Pizookies were delicious as always. Our reservation was during lunchtime, so it was nice and quiet and not hurried at all.

Overall a good dining experience. Haven’t been to Dave’s for a while and was a little let down. Food and service were adequate but for the price expected better
