Small and romantic we specialize in celebrations with family and friends, or just a quiet dinner with good conversation. We are family owned and operated and have been serving our community since 2001.

Drive in to Opera Alley and be transported. We strive to bring approachable food and beverage, a sense of comfort and community, as well as a unique and quality dining experience. We call ourselves a "cafe" in the sense that we are not pretentious and offer a fine dining experience in an atmosphere of comfort and respite.

Parking in Opera Alley, and downtown, can be a bit of a challenge, especially on the weekends, so please be sure to give yourself plenty of time when making reservations to find a parking space, or consider a night off from driving and get an Uber or Lift!! Eat good food often, break bread with friends and family, spend time with those you love, and we will see you soon.

    Everything from the moment we arrived was splendid. We came to celebrate our anniversary and they made us feel special and well cared for and celebrated! The food was done exactly to what we’d asked and everything tasted fantastic!

    We just moved to Tacoma, and we were looking for somewhere special we could spend our anniversary. We could not have been more pleased with our experience! From the romantic atmosphere (including rose petals scattered on our table), the wonderful server we had, and delicious food/drink. It was the perfect spot. This will be a new tradition for us!

    The bisque was not good and the Mac and cheese was terrible. It was supposed to have chunks of lobster in it. Had some ground up but tasted fishy. Sent it all back but was not comped for it. All in all great appetizer but the rest was awful. Won’t be back.

    The food was amazing, crab bisque actually had crab in it! The scallops and risotto were on done nicely, very fresh flavors! It was our anniversary and they covered the table in rose petals and a red rose for my lovely wife. Made our whole night an excellent experience!

    This is my wifes favorite date night spot as its quiet, romantic, intimate and the food is amazing. You really can't come here without getting the shrimp appetizer and the short rib ragu; they will literally change your life. The entire dining experience is worth every penny!

    Great food, slow service on a busy Friday night. They’ve packed a lot more tables in than the last time I was there and it was a little too cozy for comfort.

    Outstanding as usual. Thanks for another memorable visit with top notch service and exquisite food. The Jumbo Shrimp Pasta and Ribeye steak were cooked to perfection. This is a real gem of a restaurant tucked into Opera Alley.

    I loved everything about this restaurant. My fave of the the night was the crab bisque. They make everything from scratch including the pastas and bread. The chef/owner was very sociable and came out and asked about our experience which I thought was very lovely. If you ever want to have an intimate night or justa night with friends, check out Over the Moon cafe!
