“knowledgeable staff. helped me get my ball dialed in.“

“The place was busy and we had to sit in back. They have a minor section. We were in the corner, could not see bar but recieved excellent service. Our waitress was on top of it. Strong drinks and great food. Pull tabs, pool tables, and darts.“

“Always my favorite bar. Love Juliet!“

“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!“

“Celebrated a birthday date night and first time dining here. Great ambiance with fantastic service. (Thank you Jordan). We called ahead and made reservations. The table was decorated with a long stemmed red rose and a birthday card. Our meal was so delicious! Cocktails, starters, dinner and dessert were pure perfection! Thank you chef(s). That was hands down, one of the best meals we have ever had! We are already mapping out what we are ordering on our next time here! Oh and the box of letters from other patrons at each table…🥹 so precious! THANK YOU!!“

“Excellent- start to finish! Great service! Great food!“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“What can I say, I just love it here. The food is good and the servers are amazing 🤩“

“best pizza in Tacoma hands down awesome atmosphere and stiff drinks“

“This place is such a vibe. Good food, fun drinks, and the service is always on point and friendly.“

“Love having a local place to enjoy some good food and fun atmosphere. I've been coming here for years. Can still get food that was on menu years ago. Love Mom's mess for breakfast. Looking forward to spending many more days here and enjoying good food.“

“The clam chowder, the risotto and the steak were delicious. The focaccia bread was amazing! Shrimp were a little overcooked. Really nice and quiet patio area. More expensive than we are used to spending on a family dinner, but we were traveling and living it up. Would definitely recommend.“

“If you pay with cash make sure you count the change give back to you!! Gave the bar tender a hundred, asked her to recount handed me a twenty? She new !!! That might fly at midnight ? but not first thing in the morning .“

“Great food and beer/cider list“

“This is a lovely department-store dining experience. We held our book club meeting here. Staff was accommodating; attentive, but not intrusive. Noise level was perfect for an intimate discussion, despite the restaurant being active. Would recommend on all levels“

“This is not a typical Courtyard Bistro, they have a full restaurant. Staff was amazing, Savannah and Patrick. I ate here 3 times during my stay, everything was great. Calamari, Burger, Steak, Quesadilla. Great selection of local beers and spirits, overall a very nice bar selection for a Courtyard. Was not expecting that.
I also spoke with the manager to compliment him on the staff and food. I am hoping my job sends me back here in the future.
Oh and breakfast was also a good value and good food.“

“Food was excellent. Homey vibes. Super large portions.“

“Upbeat staff and very friendly, great food and drinks to go along with atmosphere“

“Absolutely amazing food & mimosas! Definitely 5 star service!“

“This restaurant inside Hotel 1000 was such a great experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, especially if you’re downtown, and the atmosphere feels upscale without being stuffy. Everything felt thoughtfully done, from the ambiance to the food and drinks.

I had the super dirty martini and it was perfect. The tuna crudo appetizer was absolutely delicious, and the steak for dinner was just as good. The portions were perfect, everything tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared, and it honestly felt like a great value for the quality of the experience.

What really made the night stand out though was Aisha. I was dining by myself, and she made the entire experience feel warm, comfortable, and welcoming. She was incredibly personable, so sweet, attentive, and genuinely kind. She checked in at all the right times without ever hovering and made me feel completely taken care of. Dining alone can sometimes feel awkward, but Aisha made it feel effortless and enjoyable. She truly leaves a lasting impression and is a huge part of why I would absolutely come back.“

“Nice and convenient place for breakfast. The service was kind, prompt and efficient. The breakfast was just regular, eggs etc., but the breakfast potatoes were outstanding! Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, soft and hot inside. Clearly fresh, none of that frozen nonsense. Somebody in that kitchen really knows their potatoes, I was very impressed!“

“We ate here recently and had mixed feelings after reading the reviews and it being a motel restaurant. My wife and I were greeted by our server and seated quickly. We had an entree, cocktail and dessert each. The service was outstanding and the food was excellent! I’m not sure about the reviews I read being accurate, but my experience was great. Thanks to the restaurant for starting our vacation out properly. I would absolutely recommend this place.“

“The Fire Pasta is the bomb! And the staff is always great! love this place“

“What a wonderful spot! I had the best French dip I’ve had in quite a while. The food and drinks were both excellent. A special shoutout to Kollin for taking exceptional care of me while I dined and relaxed. He went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and completely satisfied throughout my meal. I had a great stay at the Murano, and the restaurant’s food quality truly impressed me.“

“In my opinion the best coffee around. It started with convenience and unlike Starbucks they made a standard delicious vanilla latte. But really it's all about the blended drinks. There are their specials which are all good but you can also get the coffee drinks blended & they use an ice cream base that takes it to a whole new level. Plus, you get a free bday drink which is a nice bonus. Highly recommend!“
