Over The Moon Cafe 709 Opera Aly, Tacoma Fine Dining • $$$

“Great food and service. Our waitress (Sabrina) was the best. The food is better than what you can get in Italy. A must go to.”

“Located in a food hall with street parking. No AC so in the summer it can get a little warm inside. The food was fantastic with great portions. One of the best pad Thai I had since moving to Washington. Not too sweet, tangy, spicy. Husband had the fried garlic chicken I believe and he said that was fantastic as well. Owner (I think) was super sweet and asked us how we liked her food afterwards. Highly recommend! If we didn’t live so far we would be here more often.”

“Came here for brunch at 10am to celebrate my Birthday. I wasn’t expecting to have such a personable experience and to be greeted by the owner. We ordered the hash and the French toast. Both dishes were superb and we loved how the food was plated. Everything looked so full and rich, that it just makes your mouth water. Shawn Tibbits even gave us a tour of his kitchen and it was amazing to hear his story and that he strives for sustainability and zero waste. We really support those practices and Alaskan mentality. I can’t wait to eat here again!”

Marzano Italian Restaurant 516 Garfield St S, Tacoma Italian • $$

“I normally don’t review a restaurant after one visit, but Marzano was exceptional. It’s an approachable fine dining experience. The staff was great, and definitely give the impression that they genuinely care about your visit. We took a chance on the appetizer special, and were very happy that we stepped outside our comfort zone (Traditional Venetian antipasto of marinated salt cod on squid ink polenta cakes paired with whipped ciccione crostini, sour cherries and hazelnuts). The lasagna bolognese and carbonara were absolutely amazing from the first bite to the last. I’ve never had better.”

For dessert we had the flan flight (sweet cream, Nutella, sweet corn) and the Basque Cheesecake. Every bite was phenomenal and the service was outstanding- I love the whole vibe on the restaurant and how personable and helpful the staff was. While not cheap, it was definitely worth it and we will definitely be going back!”

“Asado Steakhouse delivers an unforgettable dining experience that feels straight from culinary heaven. The steak is a masterpiece—perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and seasoned to perfection. The Caesar salad was a classic done right, with fresh, crisp greens and a rich, tangy dressing that elevated every bite. The honey-butter glazed carrots were a delightful balance of sweetness and warmth, and the Corona beans with sun dried tomatoes offered a new flavor to round out the meal. Even the sourdough bread, roasted on the grill, was a revelation—crusty, smoky, and utterly sublime. Every dish showcased for this January special met with meticulous care and mastery, making it clear the chef and kitchen team are nothing short of extraordinary. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience you’ll savor long after the last bite. Highly recommend!”

Thank you for the INCREDIBLE SERVICE by the same excellent young lady who welcomed our requests and made us feel important and special and appreciated. She was so engaging and treated us as if we were invited into her own home. Lastly, thank you for your AMAZING chef created offerings. We had the curried mussels- my most favorite dish in the entire state of Washington. Our dear friend who joined us races yachts in Santa Barbara, CA. He knows fine dining, and he was more than impressed with your curried mussels. We also chose your Moroccan Chicken, Pork Chops, and Pasta Carbonara. Everything was delicious. 7 stars if we could go that high. I encourage everyone to host guests at this lovely, intimate, affordable, and welcoming epicurean restaurant.

“The Red Hot is one of Tacoma’s best beer spots. The food is good, great selection of beers, and the service is top notch. Particularly our favorite bartender Elliott, who is such a mensch. He knows the kind of beer I like and is always Johnny on the spot with a great recommendation. My wife thinks he’s super cute, I cannot say, but I’ll take her word for it. He does always smell good, I’ll give him that. Except once when he smelled rather strongly of sauerkraut but that was the result of a rather unfortunate mishap with a 5 gallon bucket of sauerkraut which was entirely outside of his control. He can also spit mad rhymes but only after a few strong IPA’s. Anyway, go check out The Red Hot and if you get Elliott as a server, drop a phat beat on him and watch what he can do.”

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.”

The soup that came with the meal didn’t have any mushrooms in it (even though my partner’s did), which makes me think the server might have gone out of her way to take them out for me. If so, that was such a thoughtful touch. The food itself was delicious and full of flavor, and the prices were very reasonable.”

Cafe Bistro 4502 S Steele St, Tacoma Cafe • $$

“I got a free swag bag of pasta related stuff because I ordered a pasta dish. They gave me a good amount of after dinner mints. The service was very good. I've dined at this bistro for years and it's very good. I recommend their creme brulee for dessert and their kalamata olive aioli dip with fries it's addictive! I usally get the chicken and herb goat cheese sandwich. Very good by the way but, I got this gnocchi dish and because it was pasta month I got a free swag bag sponsored by Barilla since I ordered a pasta dish. If you are hungry while shopping at Nordstrom's it's a great place to check out.”

“1st let me say..had food twice, once from order service and other in person. Both times the service and food were great! The manager is very nice and respectful along with the staff. The funny differences from other sushi restaurants are the fact you have to order everything by QR code ( so if you want a mobile device free night..not gonna happen) and your order comes via a robot! Now that I found funny because I kept on despite directions from the “robot waitress” trying to take food from the other shelves until I got used to things. Speaking on getting “used to”..try maybe 1 or 2 times order something small to get used to how the quantities are served. My friend meant to only get 2 of something and ended up with 3 and I had to eat the extra 1 for respect of the dining rules “whatever is left when you are done you must pay for”. Now the “all you can eat” bit. Please understand that the food here is really good and that they offer quite a unique variety of items to try and eat. That is the meaning of the “all you can eat” here. This is not a legit “all you can eat” restaurant . For $30 you are getting way good quality..so do you want good quality or high quantity? In this tight market you can’t really get both. So please be mindful & respectful of this. They do sadly have techniques to let you know when you are reaching “their” maximum..and after much thought…I can respect that. Overall the food, service and everything else was excellent. I ate mostly the sashimi which I thought tasted fresh and buttery when needed to be and when ate rolls I had the rolls that were cooked and those were handled expertly. My friends had the coconut shrimp which was the favorite for them and such like items. One said the ribs were tough and the fried rice was too hard. Overall I will return and be more “menu venturing “ knowing that there is actually a limit. Again..out of respect, please respect quality over quantity.”

Stanley & Seafort's 115 E 34th St, Tacoma American • $$$

“We enjoyed tacoma restaurant week tonight (4/10/2025). The very best part of our experience was Toni, our server. She has been our server for our last 2 visits and what a delight she is! I was so happy to know we were seated in Toni’s section. We both ordered the RW Prime Rib. I had chowder (needed seasoning) and my hubs had the caesar salad which he said was good and it was certainly BIG. The prime rib was good; mine was a bit more done than I would have preferred. My potatoes seemed to have been sitting under the warming lights too long. Hubs said his prime rib was good. We both ordered the key lime pie for dessert which was a big miss. They need to re-think this offering. Waaayyy too much whipped cream which is not sweetened at all. Not enough key lime. Once I scraped all of the whipped cream off I could better taste the purpose of the pie which is the key lime. I tried a wine called Chasing Rain which was a big miss. I switched to Robert Hall which was better but I would not order it again. Hubs had the House/Avalon wine….I tasted it and would not order that either. It was a nice evening out and Mother Nature treated us to a beautiful rainbow.”

Only bummer was that they are so good and so popular that they were packed at 10am on a Thursday! Come with a plan for a short wait and maybe to enjoy your food on the go or wait a bit until there are spots available. I promise, it will be worth it.”
