Restaurants near Nisqually Red Wind Casino

What a special place and special meal. My wife have been trying to dine here for over 25 years and we finally made it happen. We knew it was going to be a great night when we were seated at one of the widow seats. Didn't know that space had been added. We absolutely loved our waiter Patrick; we was spectacular in every way. Solid wine list at reasonable prices. Loved the Barbera d' Asti from northern Italy The local Washington oysters were a treat. Arancini (3) were hot and delish. Went for the classic Pink Door lasagna (I never order Lasagna in restaurants - Costco lasagna has ruined me forever on the dish!) However I loved this version - such subtle flavors. My wife had the pappardelle (she makes a number of great PD dishes) and she loved what she ordered. Ended the evening with the sticky toffee dessert which also was rich and memorable! It's clear the Pink Door know its lane and everything works. Every thing we ate was memorable and we can't wait to return and try what we didn't have a chance to enjoy. We flew up from Sacramento to see Beethoven's 7th at the Seattle Symphony. Thanks for your part in making our trip more than we ever could have hoped for.

We have been here several times before and have never been disappointed. Great food and service!

Daniel did a great job serving us. The restaurant was about half filled when we sat down. It was full before we left. Seating is pretty cozy so that's my only knock, but conversations were not strained or anything so we were easily able to converse. Started off with a carafe of the house white (pinot grigio) which was quite good. I ordered the special Sacchetti. It was AMAZING! It's like a puffy ravioli. It's got 2-3 times as much filling as your standard ravioli. This version had a mushroom filling, almost like a pate. It had a crunchy something sprinkled over the top. Forget what it was. :( My wife had their lasagna. Huge portion and oh so good! Easily twice as much food as the sacchetti dish, but the sacchetti was special. Finished with an eggnog creme brulee. A little heavier tasting than regular creme brulee but still very good.

Always a warm, welcoming space to share some delicious food and a great cocktail, or two! It is our go to place when we want to feel comfortable, yet still a bit spoiled. Tom at the bar is a fun bartender who crafts cocktails with care. Simply a great ambiance, even on cold, dark, winter nights!

Using Open Table to get on the list is perfect for weekend nights when places tend to be more busy during peak times. Our meal was great, our server was amazing, very friendly, very attentive, and you don't always get that anymore. My only complaint about this particular location is that it needs a serious table and seating remodel! Our booth's vinyl was peeling, the table had a lot of chips in it, and we have sat in other booths that have had vinyl peeling or holes in it. During the down time of Covid would have been a great time to do that like many other places did. But I'm guessing that they are also still trying to recover from the financial losses as well. I hope their corporate office does them a solid and gets that taken care of soon. Otherwise, our night was great!
