“Fantastic food, vibes and service. Moored here in our boat and looked forward to going there each day. Thanks“

“Everything I’ve had here is so good! Feature items are always thoughtful and delicious. A regular menu go to is the twice baked potato, which is always so good. This weekend she featured a crab roll, which is one of the best I’ve ever had service is friendly and personal, and the environment is very cozy and welcoming.“

“Always great food we go there often for date night😋🤫“

“My husband and I have had the pleasure of frequenting this business a few times! We were invited to attend a few live performances by two friends of ours. We LOVE wine. This business specializes in artisinal and small-batch wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. DELICIOUS! Their appetizer menu is EXCEPTIONAL! Their service is IMPECCABLE!

If you are as enamored of fine wine as we are, check this beautiful business out! You will find it worth your time. And much, much more!“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“The owners are the best. Good service and great food.“

“If you are in the mood for elegant, vintage drinks with a whimsical (truly whimsical) twist - look no further - thus is your stop, for a sip - or two, or... We had the Chai Old Fashioned and the Last Word... If the devil is in the details - so are the companions of Bacchus - the REAL maraschino cherry in the Last Word and the massive ice cube in the Old Fashioned confirm how serious thus place is about its drinks reputation. Also, the Cherry and Apricot Salad gave us that so very needed connection with the local farmers' produce, it being a delightfully crispy concoction of bitter radicchio and peppery greens, smoothed by a pungent goat cheese and vanilla balsamic vinaigrette.The bread and the sharp olive oil were especially appreciated with the salad. We love gelato, but ordered the blackberry sorbet and did not regret it since it came with a solid chunk of anise biscotti - an excellent pairing for the double espresso. Our waiter, Troy, made us feel well attended, but not even once did he overdo it.“

“This is probably one of the best teriyakis I’ve ever had. It wasn’t super saucy but I didn’t mind that cause it had so much other stuff going on. The blackened crunch on top - manifique!!! So much flavor. And the sides were equally delicious.“

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎“

“Excellent food and service“

“Drumroll Wine is such a lovely addition to downtown Renton! With a great location, great space & atmosphere, great wines, & a great staff - - it truly is a great meet up location! I really enjoy their special events, too! Highly recommend!“

“Our neighborhood go-to for a reason. My wife and I live nearby and Verrazano's has become one of those places we just keep coming back to. It's the kind of Italian restaurant that feels like a real find — upscale enough for a special evening but comfortable enough to be a regular.

I always order the spaghetti and a Caesar salad, and both are consistently excellent. The spaghetti is classic, done right, with generous portions. The Caesar is crisp and well-dressed. And don't skip the grilled garlic bread — it's incredible. Simple dishes, but that's where you really see the quality of a kitchen, and Verrazano's nails it every time.
The drinks are a highlight too. I'll usually have a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned over the course of dinner, and the bar does a great job with both. My wife rotates between a Moscow Mule and a glass of Browne's Cabernet, and she's always happy. It's a well-curated cocktail and wine program that doesn't get enough credit.

The views of Puget Sound and the Olympics from the deck are a huge bonus — especially during golden hour. Add in attentive, personable service and a warm atmosphere with white tablecloths and you've got everything you need for a great night out.

If you're in the Federal Way area and love Italian food, don't sleep on this place. Five stars.“

“Best doppio I’ve ever had in my life.

Made me want to quit my job leave my belongings move to a mountainous region in china to finally begin my 10,000 hour dim mak temple training specifically to prepare me for the inevitable battle with the person responsible for roasting these coffee beans. That way I might stand half a chance to get hired as a barista.

When I was leaving the first visit the “owner” told me: “fill all the holes.. thousand points of light.. have a good day”

Was confused at first but it all makes sense now.“

“Intimate and nice music, good wine too of course.“

“Delicious brisket pho for lunch today! Server was nice and service was great!“

“This is a wonderful place to explore diverse wines from the US and other countries. The atmosphere is homey and relaxed, yet upscale. The staff are welcoming, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. You can enjoy a delicious flight, or order a glass of one of your favorites. Food items are also available. They also have a vast array of wines for purchase. You're sure to find a special one to take home. Stop by; you won't regret it.“

“I had an engagement session near this Anthem so we went in! I challenged the baristas with making a heart on top of a latte to be used for a photo! They kindly did it free of charge with repurposed grounds! I absolutely loved the outcome! Great atmosphere!“
