    First time at Woven and it didn’t disappoint. We had an earlier reservation and glad we did. It was definitely filling up quickly by the time we were leaving. Our server was phenomenal, had great recommendations and was attentive and personable. Our food came out quickly and everything was cooked perfectly. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

    The view was perfect. I suggest one might want to reserve a table about 30 or 40 minutes before sunset. That way, as the sun goes down and the city lights come up, one will see Tacoma in many different light hues. Beautiful. The dinner was wonderfully delicious. My guests were slightly disappointed with the dessert choices because they said the options were the same as everywhere else (chocolate cake, carrot spice cake, cheesecake, brownie with ice cream …). They were hoping to find more elegant options for the price.

    We ate a birthday dinner at the bar, we were able to get a good view and the server was very friendly. My Spouse ordered a beer which he did not like , so they didn’t charge us for it. That was nice. It was fun to walk around the old Elks temple and see the different venues that McMenamins have developed.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner with friends. Food was well prepared. Drink options were wonderful. A slight delay in our wine being delivered, but not a big issue. A complimentary dessert and red rose/petals were a thoughtful acknowledgment of our anniversary. We would recommend Over the Moon for any nice dinner or special occasion.
