Excellent restaurant and bar , with premium food and cocktails. Like all downtown tacoma locations , parking sucks and due to popularity, there is typically a wait of 30 to 60 minutes depending on where you wanna sit. If you don't mind sitting outside under the covered area , you'll be seated much faster and or if a bar stool opens up you can snag that. Otherwise expect 30 to 60min wait times for regular seating during prime time dinner hours. If you roll in late at 8pm or later seating should be faster , though that's a dice roll depending the night or if an events going on In town. The menu is a more premium selection, thus expect to spend $100+ easy for two people if you get separate dishes and drinks. Surf and turf is amazing , as is the chicken and rice . Ontop of those two dishes iv talked to many people and apparently the wood fired pizza and burgers are also amazing. The lineup of items is elite as is the drink menu , with every alcohol type you can think of and wide variety of premium beer / wine options. Ultra friendly kind staff, clean bathrooms and high energy throughout the restaurant. This is not a quiet environment, it's alive with good energy and is one of the best spots in the city. Been here 3 times and everytime it was as good or better than before. Seasonal menu options also are always available, making this a go to spot for a nicer evening out or solo hang at the bar. If you wanna save money on a date night, order a personal pizza to split and an appetizer before hand , then spend the rest of your money on drinks remainder of evening. This will make for an excellent premium date night out, for less than 100 bucks depending what you like to...

Our first time here!! I'm so glad we picked here. The "Spritz" cocktail was refreshing and well made. Great sweetness and balanced choices for the alcohol in it.

Bone Marrow Appetizer was buttery, rich and smooth. Well paired with jammy onions, mustard, and pickles on the side. Zesty and creamy, served on well toasted bread.

Salmon Appetizer was refreshing, light, satisfying and fresh. Honestly the most visually stunning item I've seen as an appetizer in along time. Totally satisfying and would have just done another order for dinner too if I wasn't so curious about how hard the entrees were gunna go if this is how they started out.

Half Chicken was a perfect amount of protein and had a delicious, herby rice. The artichokes were crunchy and went very well with the chicken. Overall juicy, rich, and light. Its the best half chicken I've had too.

Chicken sandwich smelled VERY fresh and had a great crunch. The herbs they used in it draw you in a refresh the whole experience.The greens were fresh too and the bun was toasted to perfection. Beautiful crunch.. Honestly a simple, wholesome bite.

AJ was our server outside. We were promptly served and he took time out of his day to give us amazing suggestion even after we paid the bill. Totally matched our enthusiasm with our experience and made us feel welcomed. We were outside on a brisk night (who wants to have to walk in and out of that!!), but we never had to search far for service. It was always there to guide the meal and present the artwork of the food to us.

One of the best, and coziest meals I have ever eaten and I am saving my pennies for the next time I can eat here....
