Team Reba Real Estate

When I first moved to the Seattle area back in late 1989 my first home was in Renton.  Back then it seemed a sleepy enough little place and the downtown area was not my favorite place to hang out because it was a little on the “low brow” side of things; which meant I drove into Seattle a lot to see friends and to try new places for entertainment, volleyball, restaurants, etc.

Now, so many years later, I am a Renton resident again having just purchased a home in the Talbot Hill area. Downtown is still sometimes a little sleepy compared to downtown Seattle but there are definitely a lot more cool places to go hang out for dinner.  Recently we spent some time at the “new” location for Armondo’s, Whistle Stop Ale House, Vince’s Italian (ok, that’s up the hill on Sunset/SR900), and a Japanese/sushi place on Benson called New Zen Sushi (Benson Hill).

I’m happy to say that so far we’ve been pleased with the gastronomic results. A few folks with even more insider info gave us a hot tip that we need to get to the ”Red House” and we soon will.  After reading up on their website what they have to offer I’m sure we’ll be there within the next few weeks, as well as getting to Fin N Bone and Melrose Grill (owned by the same folks as Armondo’s).
