best meal of my life
Highly recommend! Small menu, changes often, atmosphere is excellent!
Excellent food and great ambience. Sarah took very good care of our table. The chicken dish is delicious. And LOVE the crispy brussels.
We had reservations and were seated immediately but the restaurant was primarily empty anyways. Our meal took so long to prepare and was delivered incomplete to our table that we had to rush to eat within 15 minutes to make a show (budgeted 2 hours for 2 people). We asked for the missing item to be removed and got some push back. Unsure if we were charged bc the waitress did not provide an itemized receipt. Cannot comment on the processing charge someone else mentioned for the same reason. Food we did receive was decent but slightly overpriced.
My first trip here with 2 friends.
Great food and generous portion sizes.
Amazing food & service. We will definitely be back soon.
We will definitely be coming back! Food was amazing! Best Mac and Cheese ever! Only on the Golden Hour menu (happy hour) so be sure to go during that time so you can try it! We all got something different so we can each try it. Nothing was bad.

Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. The food was delicious and well presented. The Chef delivered our food. The drinks were some of the best we have had. This is a little gem in downtown Tacoma and well worth a visit. You will not be disappointed.
Parking: Easy to find.

Absolutely delicious. We had the chicken and there was a house special of pork schnitzel. They were both fantastic and the schnitzel was crispy perfection. The brownie for dessert was great as well. 10/10 would recommend

How did we not know about this place? Delicious food and cocktails, great wine list. We will return.
Dietary restrictions: The server asked directly about any allergies, etc. Then he went through the menu items that may pose a problem and why.

My fiancé and I were more than excited to try West 122 after seeing the torrent of positive reviews this restaurant was receiving since it opened. Unfortunately, after eating here, I cannot contribute to the praise.
Our first complaint was the speed of service. We waited for more than 45 minutes for our appetizer - pecorino meatballs - to arrive. While we did eat on a Saturday night at 7:30 PM, we observed open tables around us, so the restaurant clearly was not operating at full capacity. Our entrees also arrived slowly.
Our second complaint is in regard to the food itself. Our appetizer - the pecorino meatballs - was delightful. The meatballs were not too firm and well textured. The marinara sauce was flavorful without being too sweet, and the pecorino cheese complimented the meatballs well. However, at just 3 meatballs, we felt this appetizer was overpriced. Our entrees for the night were the roasted chicken and the grilled octopus special. The grilled chicken was quite nice, but for $28, the portion and variety of flavor was subpar. The dish consisted solely of the chicken itself and mashed potatoes. Then the grilled octopus. Wow. Never have I been more disappointed in a $40 entree. The dish consisted mostly of over-salted and over-spiced green beans and lemon slices. On top of the green beans were two, small grilled octopus tentacles which themselves were over cooked and also over-spiced. The entire dish was drowning in avocado oil and chili flakes. It’s as if the chef dumped an entire jar of chili oil on my food. For a restaurant that has an octopus in its logo, I certainly expected the octopus serving portion to be more generous especially when you’re charging $40.
Overall the food was ok, but for a restaurant that charges a premium ($50-100 per person; current price range on Google Maps is not accurate) West 122 was unfortunately a disappointment for us. We understand that the ingredients are locally sourced and procured fresh, but the price, especially considering the portion size, seemed outrageous.
Some positives to note are that the restaurants itself was clean, our server was polite, and the interior designer clearly put effort into capturing the essence of the PNW with the nautical-themed chandelier, wall fixtures, and other accoutrements. However, we will not be coming back to West 122.
