There for Easter brunch. The food was very good, but the variety was disappointing. I was hoping for more pasta choices. I felt like we spent $60 each for breakfast, which I understand it’s brunch but where were the lunch items? Plus the all you can drink options (alcohol) are additional fees, which was misleading from the advertisement.Overall disappointing but the food and service was very good. Will try a normal dinner service next time and skip the buffet.

We Love The Adriatic. This is our weekly date night spot. The food is amazing - we've loved everything we've eaten there. The decor and ambiance is romantic and beautiful. The staff are all wonderful, our glasses never sit empty, the service is excellent. It feels like a hidden gem.
This has been our go-to since we moved to Lakewood. The food is incredible. And we really love all of the staff! Great Happy Hour and "Wine Wednesday." Awesome!

Popped in on a Monday evening to celebrate our daughter with some friends and family without reservations. Kennedy said I'll push some tables together and get you all in no trouble. She was an absolute pleasure to have for our server. Funny, attentive, knowable, and just a great person. Chef Bill knocked it out of the park. New menu about every month and March is a must. Lobster Risotto had so much lobster and was delicious. My thick pork chop was cooked to the temp I like and suggested. Everyone else loved what they ordered. We have been a few times, and it has always been great. Thank you Kennedy for making a great evening even better! We can't wait for the patio to open.Parking: Large spots, no worries about door dings, and very well lit.

We've had the pleasure of visiting this venue a few times before. It wasn't until tonight that I felt compelled to write a review.Kennedy is who you want serving your table. She is personable, not at all pushy, and an overall joy to be near.We just celebrated a huge accomplishment for our youngest daughter, and without reservations, we took a leap of hope that a table would be open for 7 of us. Kennedy not only welcomed us with open arms, she even became our server and we knew we were in for a happy night.This was by far, our favorite visit to this amazing establishment yet.Kennedy - keep pushing and life will not disappoint. You are the making of something incredible and we were honored to be in your presence this evening. ?Parking: Awesome and wide spots. Plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: Had one minor with us and she didn't feel singled out at all.Wheelchair accessibility: Great accessibility.

We enjoyed a fabulous Valentine's Day dinner at the Adriatic. The special menu included a delicious king salmon and couscous entrée. Probably the most perfectly cooked salmon I've ever enjoyed--moist and flavorful. And the pomegranate arils sprinkled in the couscous were the perfect sweet crunchy touches. The salmon portion was very generous for the money as well. Eleanor was a delightful server--all in all a memorable evening. Thank you Chef Bill and staff!
As always, our experience at Adriatic was wonderful. Amazing wine list; professional, timely service; outstanding food. Menu for Valentine's Day was expanded offering a number of new items. Tried the new filet dish and it was exquisite. Love the place, love the people and couldn't recommend it more highly.

I have been a fan of The Adriatic for many years. Although the move from Tacoma to Lakewood has decreased the frequency of my visits (due to convenience...I live in the North End of Tacoma), it's still a wonderful experience, every time I venture out there. That pork chop gets me every time.
Chef and staff r AWESOME! I'm gonna hate it when we move to a more rural area, but we will return for the food which is fantastic ?? and 5 star for sure!

We had a girls night and enjoyed our dinner and the service. We asked for a quiet table and this made it much easier for us to enjoy ourselves. The server was great. Just recommend not selling so hard on the menu as the menu was short and easy to understand. Was also surprised to be charged a cake serving fee when all she did was provide plates and serving utensils. Suggest warning guests in future

David, our server, is well versed with wines as well as the menu. Attentive but not overbearing. Food was outstanding, brushetta and home-made focaccia bread, shrimp with spaghetti squash pesto style, and chicken peperonata. Then there's the lemon cheesecake with raspberry sauce-coupdnt be creamier. Had the Sauvaugn Blanc by Dossier on David's recommendation to compliment both meals, literally fabulous. We'll be back for sure!
