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.”

“If you're looking for a restaurant, this ain't it. If you're looking for a small taste of what human connection can be, if you want to feel how food can be the conduit for sharing and love in a community, you've found the place. Everything is beyond delicious, but your soul will walk away fuller than your belly when you leave here. The world could be a better place, and Tibbits is proof that could exist.”

Cactus Restaurant Proctor 2506 N Proctor St, Tacoma Mexican • $$

“Our recent visit totacoma included a dining experience at Cactus, a swcond location to the one in Seattle,a Latin fusion establishment. While the restaurant presents a Mexican aesthetic, its culinary offerings lean towards a Latin fusion cFor those seeking traditional Mexican cuisine, this may not be the ideal choice. However, for individuals in search of a flavorful dining experience with a pleasant atmosphere and attentive service, Cactus is highly recommended. During our visit, I selected the Seattle chimichanga with smoked brisket, which offered a complex and enjoyable flavor profile. My son opted for the flautas, which he also found to be excellent. For dessert, we shared the flan and bananas dulces. Although I was unable to partake in the sweet bananas due to a cinnamon allergy, my son reported they were exceptional. It is worth noting that Kurt Cobain reportedly had his final meal at this establishment, including the sweet bananas for dessert.

At the Tacoma location, we had the flautas again. I had the Burrita Lenera with flank steak; it was spicy enough to give it a great flavor. I will recommend it with the smoked brisket, and my son had the shrimp and grits. He said that it is his new favorite dish.

For an appetizer, we got the Guac sampler, and it didn't disappoint, but the chips and salsa are great too.

The flan was enjoyable, though I personally prefer my own recipe; I still highly recommend it. We had this dessert in both locations; it's that good.

The cost, including beverages, was approximately $30+ per person, which is considered reasonable.

In summary, while the restaurant's Mexican-inspired dishes receive a rating of 5 out of 10, its Latin fusion offerings are rated a 9 out of 10, making it a worthwhile dining destination.
And, like I like to say, bring some to the experience because everything is better when you share it.!”

Asado 2810 6th Ave, Tacoma Argentine • $$$

“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!”

“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.”

“If you’re going on Saturday morning be prepared to wait a bit (outside) in line and dress accordingly! Worth it though. Phenomenal service and food. Their bagels and shmear are good- just the right amount of chew and density but not dried out or tough. If you like sandwiches though definitely give one of their bagel sandwiches a try. The “hot to go” was the favorite of the 3 we tried (classic bacon egg cheese, pastrami, & hot to go).”

Got a chicken and mongolian beef combo to go. The chicken was hearty and fresh, drizzled with sweet teriyaki sauce. Delicious.

Tried the mongolian beef, perfectly delicious too and the servings were hefty.

Overall a great place to spend your hard earned money to enjoy quality food. 👌

The dogs are phenomenal. I tend to stick to my favorites, which are the 6th Ave Strut & Ragin Cajun. Every once in a while I venture out. But my friends like different dogs and they love them. Dining in is so much better, but throughout the years, they've made takeout enjoyable. They used to wrap them up for takeout, which meant soggy buns. They now have takeout carriers, which makes it so much better to enjoy if you're not able to dine in.

“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!”

“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.”

Chez Lafayette Creole Brasserie 1101 Tacoma Ave S, Tacoma Cajun/Creole • $$

“I absolutely adore this spot. I've lived in WA since 2022 and this is only the 2nd time I've absolutely loved creole food here. There were 7 of us. 3 adults, 3 teenagers and a hyper 8yr old. We skipped appetizers so we could have dessert. A few of us had their Chicken and Gumbo. A few of us had Shrimp & Grits....one tried their Oysters Rockefeller. Everyone was content. The portions are perfect and the price point is fair. My favorite part....Andouille sausage. I was blessed enough to get a moment with the chef and he told me all about it. Much appreciated! We tried the beignets, bread pudding and Panna Cotta. 10/10 would enjoy again. Thank you for a great meal. This Nola momma appreciated it so much!”

Woven Seafood & Chophouse 3017 Ruston Way, Tacoma Seafood • $$$

“I wasn't sure about this place as my girlfriend and I have driven past it for almost two years on our weekend drives on the waterfront, but we decided to try it and were very pleasantly surprised.

The atmosphere is simplistic and modern but very nice! It's clean atmospheric and I really enjoyed the interior lighting. The outside could be a bit more impressionable with better, more noticeable lighting, but it still looks nice.

Our hostess right away was very friendly and a good start being taken to our seats. Our waiter, Kevin, was an absolute gem. He was personable, very friendly and attentive but not annoying at all and was able to bring up and keep conversation, which I appreciate greatly. He was great company as we ate our meals and he made our experience very nice. Well worth the trip alone.

As food goes, my lady had the Paella and it was fantastic. We both agreed that it could use a bit more heat (spice) but that's also a part of the dish that felt lacking, but overall was just delicious as a whole. The sauce over the clams and mussels was incredible. I could eat those by themselves all day.
I had the miso glazed blackened cod and I did like it quite a bit. I do think it could have used a little more char on the skin and a bit of lemon juice to cut through the sweetness of the miso sauce but it was very well prepared.

Overall, a very good experience. I do think the price is rather egregious and the appetizers have to be ordered with your entrees (don't know how normal that is) so it is not a place we could visit frequently, unfortunately, but it was a great place. We will be back!”

It was his second night on the job. He was excellent! We started with the mozzarella caprese appetizer. It was delicious. For our main courses I had the cioppino and my husband had the filet. Both were excellent. For dessert I had the raspberry sorbet - very refreshing; my husband had the turtle brownie. Again both were excellent.”

I would order it again but there are so many other great looking sandwiches that I have to try first. My second trip there I ordered the Western with pork. My first thought was why did they give me so many napkins? My second thought was- I need more napkins. Tip for this monster sandwich- save the chips and use them to scoop up all of the yummy drippings. You will love this sandwich.”

“We went to the Hawaiian area of the bar this time. The food choices were fairly limited but they were decent. The mai ties are very tart and not made traditionally, but some of the other drinks weren't too bad. The server was great though and she was very cool about changing out the drinks that weren't of our liking. The atmosphere is over five stars. It's great to be in a tiki bar that has a waterfall and live fire in it. The other bar areas in McMenamins have better food, but the atmosphere in the Hawaii part is a lot of fun.”

Sometimes you have to wait a bit before a dish comes around that you want, but you can also order it on the screen so not a huge deal. Overall cool place but expect to spend at least 70$.

Café Elite 7214 Bridgeport Way W, Tacoma Coffee Shops • $

“So I just had a delivery order from this location, and I had to write a review. Placed an order for a desperately needed coffee to get me through a busy day at work, along with a treat for my kiddo and a hot chocolate. My first dasher said the order was backed up and then dropped the order, the second one also dropped the order and a third dasher finally got to the store to pick it up. I got a confusing message saying the order was picked up, and then the barista called me and told me the previous dasher made up a whole story about speaking with me on the phone and me giving her permission to get donuts holes instead of the selected treat, and then took my order, before cancelling and stealing it. She let me know that they were out of cake pops, and helped me select a frosted sugar cookie that my son was very happy about. She reassured me that she was going to remake my order, and to call the store if it was stolen again. She was incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond, and as a former barista I know how crazy the barista job can be in the days leading up to and following holidays, so it was really appreciated. I need to go in person soon and make sure I leave a big tip because the baristas here are rockstars!
The gingerbread latte I got is everything I wanted, and not sickly sweet, still perfectly hot, way better than a certain big brand coffee chain that I’ve been boycotting all year now. This coffee is going to get me through a very busy day in my law firm before I finally get the rest of the week off. 100/10”
