We like the ever-changing craft beverage menu and the variety of food items. I've had the Jamaican Rice Bowl twice recently - once with prawns and once with chicken. It was very flavorful both times. My only complaint and it's tiny, is we ordered coffee at the end of the meal and it was lukewarm at best. On a busy Saturday night, I didn't want to bother the server who I'm sure would have replaced it if I'd asked.

I love going to McMenamins Elks Temple! The experience is always first rate! The food is very good. The service was awesome and I love the eclectic atmosphere! It was quiet! The view out the large windows was great. We had a great time and will be back!

Only the food was subpar. My steak was very well done when I asked for medium well, and there was a thick tendon through it which could be seen as the steak was on a salad sliced. Everything else was amazing!

We enjoyed everything! Food so delicious...one thing I thinknwas a bit excessivevwas the price of the pretzel and cheese sauce...$17.50 forva few pieces of bread and a little sauce? Almostvthe same as my entire delicious burger meal. Ryan was an awesome server...prompt..courtious..professional. :)

Great food, location but service not so good. After taking our order took 20 minutes for them to tell us they were out of an entree. Overall took over an hour to get our food and they never checked on us after they took the order to see if we had what we needed.

Eight of us had lunch last Friday and everyone was extremely happy with our meal. Our waiter, Taylor was wonderful. He was very personable, quick to meet our needs and a real asset to the restaurant.

Very nice lunch with wonderful food. Menu was quite varied with lots of good looking choices. Our server, Mark, was very helpful and quite attentive. We'll definitely look to eat there again when we're in or around Tacoma...

Worst service ever!! We were a table of 6 and waited 2 hours to get food!! Then were told that they ran out of everything we ordered except 2 servings of ravioli! While waiting for the raviol, we watched them bring food out to every table that arrived at least an hour after us! After waiting another half hour, the ravioli never came out and we left and had pizza at PSP!
Dining room smelled moldy and it was cold. Menu was way overpriced. No hostesses made us wait for 10mins to be seated. Bartender had to find her between making drinks. Server was very polite and professional. Disappointing overall for spending $80+ tip on date night
The food is usually good, but the Valentine's Day dinner was not it. I make better shrimp scampi at home. That being said, it was the first time I was ever disappointed with the food. Drinks are always yummy but I feel that the amount of drink is not worth the cost.

This place was nice. The service was great and the food was okay. It wasn't what I would eat again. Not a lot on the menu.

The building and decor was amazing! The stained glass in the restaurant is so beautiful. The server was nice but the food took forever to come out and was just okay. Food needs to step it up a notch for the prices. Hotel was a blast to stay in!

First time I've been there. Had tickets for a show there with family and friends. The show was cancelled without any explanation but we decided to go ahead and eat dinner anyway. Food was just okay. Interesting place to visit.
Great place for drinks outside!
