    We recently went here for my brother's college graduation and it was delicious.

    Despite it being prom nights, the view was absolutely amazing! Our waitress was awesome- I'd like to say her name was Heather? She made the night very enjoyable.

    I had the lobster tail with mashed potatoes and risotto. The lobster was phenomenal and the mash potatoes were great. The risotto wasn't my favorite, but I can't judge the taste of it because it was my first time having it and I think I'm just not a fan in general.

    This would be a great place for a nice celebratory dinner or date night with your SO!

    Stopped  in for drinks and apps during happy hour.  We experienced poor service, poor drinks and mediocre appetizers.

    My Manhattan was not drinkable. I found out why, they use rock gut liquors. My drinks were not on the happy hour menu 12 14 dollars. The house whiskey is Lewis and Clark. If you have not had this don't, it is not even whiskey, I think it is a flavored vodka or something.

    Anyways, the view is amazing but if you enjoy a good cocktail don't do it here. Have a beer or wine or go somewhere that charges the same prices with good quality.

    We work too hard to be poured inferior drinks...

    There def needs to be some energy drinks for the staff  here. 6:15 wall in on a Friday for two. Had a couple waiting for a booth, people who work
    Here are sooo slow. Finally after 5 ish minutes we were greeted and asked if we had a reso, no. Told
    It was a 20 minute wait. , mind you there was only like 5 tables in the restaurant and the servers were walking around like they weren't busy/kinda bored.

    Last time we were here it was slow as well, so if you
    Claim to be busy and you have reservations, you might wanna pick up the pace? Your loosing money in your tip pool and money for the restaurant.

    It's a shame, my last night in Tacoma. Was disappointed in the lack of management and staffs energy. Good luck guys.

    Past review:By far the best experience I have had in Tacoma. Beautiful restaurant, the scenic view was so pretty, Great service, food was soo
    Good. Had the ahi appetizer, shrimp/scallops entree with grilled veggies and a side of risotto, Chardonnay and Pinot noir by the glass. Everything was so nice and relaxing.

    Def my favorite restaurant I have experienced in thiand will return, a lot more.

    The view is lovely and I like that they added the outdoor area to enjoy during the summer. I don't come here quite as often as I used to as the food can be hit or miss. That said, during my last visit I ordered the Chicken Marsala and it was delicious! The service was awesome as well. May have to go back and see if I get the same experience.

    Nice and relaxed, dark interior with a great view of the sound.  My northwest cioppino was pretty tasty, but for the price it was not much food.  I don't like leaving and still being hungry after my meal.
