Restaurants near Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum

Beautiful views with wonderful food but the ambiance is lacking. Servers/expeditors and bus people rushing/running from "the Pass" through tables to their sections, music mostly from the 70's and 80's, and kind of loud. While it's fun music, not for a romantic dinner. Wine selections wonderful and our craft cocktails were amazing. Port Wine Black Cod and gorgonzola risotto was perfect, and Mahi Mahi was over just a bit and served with a dense vegetable medley of fried Brussel sprouts and parsnips/turnips. Coconut Shrimp were a bit over cooked, dark fried, which could have been lighter as well. Service was good but I believe our server had a large section which left long gaps in seeing her around us, checking in or delivering drinks/wine timely. we will be back, trying other options.

Terrific food, courteous service.

Over the Moon Cafe is truly a unique experience in Tacoma. Nothing here is just OK ... it is exceptional. You have the option of getting a basket of sourdough bread ... but it's not fast to the table because it is baked fresh. The bread was still steaming when it came to the table ... and that's a good thing. The food is always hot and I doubt the restaurant even has a steam or heat lamp table. The lobster mac and cheese was really good, as was the scallops risotto. Both were very rich and we couldn't finish them. This is a wonderful place for celebrations and we will go back there again.

The food was excellent, service was a little bit deficient as the place was overbooked and Human Resources were not enough to cover the capacity of visitors.

Such a beautiful place with the decor and all.the different chandiers. We were seated in front of a window overlooking the water. The waitress was very friendly and helpful although it took a while for her to get back to us. The food was excellent! I had the red rabbit wine over steak. Very good! Such a nice place to celebrate Valentines day.
