Tapas Restaurants near Des Moines, WA

“We've always enjoyed coming here. I love the sparkling wines and have purchased some to take home. Desserts and charcuterie boards are also delicious! I think for more of a wine bar/chic vibe, I'd recommend some bar top tables set up, for a more relaxing atmosphere. The lower tables makes me feel like it's a sit-down dinner place. But overall, I'm a repeat customer especially when trying to just relax with a nice glass of bubbly in hand“

“I met up with a couple of girlfriends for some lunch on a Saturday afternoon. At 1:00pm there was a short wait, but you can walk around neighborhood while you wait and they will text you when table is ready. They said there was a 20 minute wait, turned out to be only 10 minutes. Our Server was legit! She knew about every item on the menu in detail, and even explained why certain items went better in some dishes than others. For example shredded chicken vs chunks of chicken. Anyhow I had a hibiscus iced tea. Dang, it was so delicious, lightly sweetened with a small amount of agave syrup. My friend had the bowl, wow it looked so good!! She said it was amazing! I had a fish Taco that was so good. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 10. They serve in-house made fresh corn tortillas!! The fish can be breaded with Panko or just grilled. I choose the Panko at my server’s suggestion. You can order 1-3 tacos for a set price and I guess add more if you want. She offered a small side of lime cilantro rice with black beans to accompany my Taco! I am happy that I did because it was the perfect amount of food.I absolutely loved every bite of everything I ordered and some of my friends food too! I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff that sounded so good. On that note my only complaint would be trying to decide what to eat, when every item on the menu sounded so good. It was truly difficult picking just one dish!! Did I mention our server was an absolute treat! I wish that I could recall her name. Every step of the way she was there when we needed her and super knowledgeable on everything on menu, super helpful, cheerful and our service was impeccable!!Did I mention that I cant wait to go back ASAP and eat my way through the menu?? Dang, just writing about it is making me hungry ?I better go eat something. Hope this review helps! I am very sincere in all that I wrote and I swear I am not being paid to write about this little gem of a Restaurant, with amazing food!“

“The pad Thai was really good, I got it with tofu. It was expensive but I was able to make 2 meals out of it because the portions were generous. Very good Thai , I ordered delivery so I don’t know how the atmosphere is but I would order it again. I should also mention it was a fast delivery.“

“I am absolutely in love with Princess and Bear Winery! As a member of their wine club, I have had the pleasure of working with their incredible wine concierge who is always so helpful and knowledgeable. The free wine tastings each month are a wonderful perk, and I am always excited to try the latest selections. The wines they select are like stepping into something French and fabulous, with rich and complex flavors that truly transport me to the vineyards of Bordeaux. I highly recommend Princess and Bear Winery to anyone who loves great wine and exceptional service. Thank you for making my wine journey so delightful!“

“My husband and I moved to Lakewood last year from Ocean Shores where we owned a wine bar/shoppe and decided to try and find a place that we could enjoy being “on the other side of the bar.” This is the first place that we truly enjoyed ourselves in. The owners, Cosette and John are wonderfully welcoming and provide a warm atmosphere with a nice wine list and tasty offerings to nibble on. Their house made crackers and cheese board are wonderful!“

“Like other people have said the stand out aspect is the view and the ambience! My husband and I went to the bar to order our drink and go sit by the water, so I can't speak to the table service or the inside. There were only a couple bartenders actually making the drinks, so we had to wait in line for a pretty decent amount of time surprisingly, but the drinks themselves were really good even if they are served in plastic cups! The menu online and printed say that the cocktails options are their fall/winter 2023 ones, so I'm not sure if they haven't released the spring ones yet or what. The ones we did have were good, and didn't seem to fall/winter specific. The One Where We Use Gin 8/10 Hendrix Hall - Autumn French 75 10/10 For the price point, the drinks are more expensive - like you would expect at a cocktail bar, but if you separate the fact that the cocktail is in a plastic cup, it is a really good cocktail! I definitely wouldn't make this a regular spot due to the price point, but it's really nice for an occasional hang after work or if you're nearby! Parking validated. When you originally sign up at the garage, it will seem like they will charge you but you just go to the bar and ask for the QR code to scan and the discount will be applied for up to two hours which is $7 worth“
