   An exceptional venue sets the stage for what should easily be a memorable dining experience. Floor to ceiling windows and a spectacular aerial view of Tacoma create an instantaneous “wow factor” at almost every table. This restaurant’s ambiance charms all who enter. Unfortunately the restaurant was not able to live up to the moment and our experience left us underwhelmed and wanting more. Even the best efforts of our server left her unable to overcome the restaurant’s bigger issues… We were celebrating a recent engagement and started with a bottle of bubbly. Our server quickly whisked away the place-setting wine glasses with a promise of champagne flutes only to return moments later with a “we are out flutes” and “hopefully you don’t mind using wine glasses instead”. Not much later on we had to request water for the table, which at a dining location like this should be automatic, only to find out they are out of glasses too and had to settle for wine glasses for water as well. The menu options appeared promising. The bread service and salads were solid, leading to a nice intro to the mains. When our main dishes arrived, 2 of our diners had ordered the same dish yet ended up with differing plates in front of them. The staff member delivering meals could not answer why and fetched our server. Our server was also not made aware that the kitchen ran out of a dish and made a substitution on their own without checking with us. The server was also frustrated with this and offered a desert on the house. Finally my filet mignon was lukewarm warm with sides that were mediocre quality at best. At this point it seemed the best course was to eat and get on our way as soon as we could. In the end the miscues all added up to our regret having chosen this place for a special moment. It was not worth the $500 we spent. It could have been an off night, but for these types of rare special moments we will choose other options in the future…

   Highly recommend for a special dinner, but make a reservation especially Fri/Sat nights. Food was delicious, service was wonderful, and the view was amazing.

   The experience we had was amazing. We got parked underneath and got up the stairs. We were greeted as we walked in and they pulled up our reservation. While pulling up our reservation, it was noted when I made the reservation that she was allergic to all seafood. They reiterated that when they pulled up the reservation so that right there alone let me know what type of place we were at so we get to the table we order our food. We order a drink and it was like everything just came out amazingly beautiful. The drink was amazing. The food was amazing. We both had the prime rib, but mine I ordered lobster mac & cheese, and she ordered the regular white cheddar mac & cheese now remember there was a food allergy here now I have been seeing them walk to tables with two plates and hands you know passing them out making sure orders got where they were. They came to the table dropped off her food. They came less than 30 seconds after with somebody else dropping off my food when you pay close attention to detail like that to make sure that no seafood is even in contact that’s what you call. Five stars. We have nothing bad to say about this place. The food was amazing. The service was amazing. The view was incredible. There was nothing bad to say about this restaurant 10 out of 10 would definitely be back again.

   For some reason, the room was called. We had a reservation for 430pm and apparently the dining area does not get comfortable til mid dinner time. I was not impressed with the orders we had. There was just something different from the last time we celebrated an occasion. I believe I enjoyed my stay at the lounge whenever, we have eaten here.

   The food and service were both wonderful, but the music was way too loud.

    The food was excellent. The noise level was horrible. You couldn’t hear anything that was music blasting as well as people talking everywhere. Our service started out pretty good, but then we felt like we were rushed to hurry and get out of there. This is always been a favorite place of ours. We were disappointed.
