    Butter Board & Figs and Prosciutto
    Kevin E.

    Can't wait to move to Tacoma to be closer to Amor! My wife and I split the 10 course menu with one entree and the wine pairing and brought half of the entree home. The Butter Board was a great start. I loved the Roasted Tomato butter and my wife loved the Pesto butter. The Figs & Prosciutto was actually figs, salami, cheese, olives, and nuts and jam. A perfect pairing with the bread. Having Persimmon with the Burrata was a nice change-up. This was followed by Butternut Squash soup and then Patatas Bravas, which were incredible - crunchy on the outside and flaky and tender on the inside. And the sofrito and smoky ailoi were perfect compliments to the potato. The beef and pork meatball was nothing special, but everything else was... so I am not complaining : ) The last appetizer was the Citrus Braised Pork Belly. There was the perfect amount of fat on one side, with crispy meat on the other - SUPERB! Maybe it was because we were full, but the Paella was good, but not great. The rice itself could have used a bit more character. That said, the chef finished strong with the Bread Pudding with Persimmon and White Balsamic Caramel. We found out that we were hungry all over again. This was heavenly. OH... and if you get the wine paring, expect 4 full pours, not a little sip. If you don't share the wine however, you might need a designate driver : ) We were told that they change up the menu regularly. Can't wait to come back and try something new.

    Amor is very unassuming from the outside- situated right on a row of bars and restaurants in downtown Tacoma. Inside has very limited seating, very cozy. I am so happy we decided to try Amor. From start to finish, the whole experience was phenomenal. Our waitress was the only server this evening, and she did a great job keeping up with all her tables. We opted to share the 8 course meal- it was plenty of food for the two of us. Each tapas was delicious. My favorite was the crostini and the fig tapas. We shared the filet for our entree- it was cooked perfectly. Seriously some of the best food we have had in a long time. I had a Cabernet for my wine, the server let me sample a few before I chose. We will definitely be back- I'm hoping they mix up their menu seasonly. Looking forward to another delicious experience!

    We had an absolutely wonderful time tonight at Amor. What a lovely experience! We started with tasting some new wines to select what we wanted to drink, then moved on to some lovely Tapas selections and a beer. So excited to be here and have had such a wonderful experience. Our server, Michelle, was absolutely wonderful. She made some fabulous recommendations, helped me pair my wine with my food, and is just a delightful human. Everyone we encountered at Amor was wonderful - what a great team! I really love the feel of the rooms and tables... you enter and get a wonderful feel for mellow and fun at the same time. The decor is stunning with amazing coordination, along with beautiful glassware and plating.

    I made a reservation just in case to ensure a spot for my boyfriend and I. As we entered, we were greeted by Noel who was also our server. She asked if we had reservations then led us to a beautiful room in the restaurant with a lovely dangling chandelier with several other tables and chairs spaced out evenly. Once we were seated, she presented us with the menus and warmly told us that if we had any questions then she would be happy to answer them. After several minutes, she came by with a happy hour menu and told us that happy hour was specifically for the bar area but she would be happy to allow it for us. I thought that was really thoughtful and a great way to definitely showcase some of their options! We decided to get the sangria blanco, seared scallop, albondigas, butter board, smoked duck with cranberry, and seared mushrooms. The food and drink arrived pretty quickly to our surprise and each dish was absolutely spot on with flavors, presentation, and portions. The highlights for us were the mushrooms, seared scallop, and butter board for sure. We are definitely talking about returning back to try out their paella as I feel there aren't a lot of places that serve paella and Amor does such an amazing job of capturing flavors that the paella here will be a showstopper. With the romantic and intimate ambiance, stellar service, and amazing food and drinks, I truly think Amor is a fantastic addition to the food scene in Tacoma.

    Boquerines pintxos (anchovies on cold puff pastry)
    Babette C.

    Came on New Years Day and I noted that the place was almost empty except for a small group at the bar. Sis noted that our waiter winced when I said that out loud like he was offended, even though I was pleased as punch to avoid the crowd and it would make our meal quiet and intimate. She said that's when she could tell he didn't like us. I finally noticed he didn't like us when I ordered a beer and he kinda harrumphed, as if he was mad that the tip would be lower because I wasn't feeling wine. He did a good job clearing plates, but you could feel the attitude emanating off of him. We didn't let that stop us from enjoying our meal. The food was pretty good. Each of us ordered the "All Tapas" menu so we got all the tapas listed plus two more that weren't on the list. Maybe we should've ordered one All Tapas with the entree, because it was filling (we know when you order tapas it's for sharing, but we were afraid the portions might not sate our appetite, but we were wrong). My favorite bites were the persimmon with burrata and the potatos brava. This is definitely worth trying again, but I probably won't be back because that server hates us, lol.

    Smoked chorizo on baguette
    TC B.

    Update: We were able to stop in for a tapas dinner thanks to a Yelp Giving Event. The "free" tapas were all very good and the wines were tasty. A couple of notes on what I think would take Amor to the top: 1. Remember to ask guests if there are any allergies. We were told there is a "house" seasoning on the almonds but we have no idea what's in it (you can look at the menu if you need to know). 2. Explain the dishes. Instead of leaving the scallop tapas and expecting that your diners will ask what the sauce is, tell us. Tell the diners what accompanies the tapas plates and why. Tell us what we're eating and the story behind it. 3. Know the difference between shrimp and scallops. 4. Pace the tapas dinner. Having 3-4 dishes come out together takes up a lot of real estate and ensures that a hot dish will get cold. 5. Show some enthusiasm for the dishes! 6. Consistency in dishes served the same night is paramount. Nothing we had was bad. But much of it was all hurried. This may have been because it followed a Yelp event that packed the whole house and left little time to execute dishes before closing at 8. The mushroom tapas was somewhat inconsistent from the Yelp event to the tapas service which was surprising. Could also be why the second serving of the chorizo on baguette came on a burned baguette that the flavorful chorizo couldn't overcome. Our favorite dish? The squid ink risotto. Hands down. It doesn't look scary despite our server's comment to that effect. Both servings were great and the grilled octopus was perfect. Of course, we still love the blue cheesecake.

    I came here for a quiet solo experience. I arrived by myself and left having made several new lovely acquaintances. It is a friendly atmosphere upon entry during my visit . The staff are wonderfully accommodating as is the owner. The food tastes as delicious as it looks. I tried a variety of tapas (pictured), plated beautifully! They came out timely and served at the perfect temperatures. I am excited to go back and try more tapas and entrees. The six tapas filled me & I could not fathom a main course. My drinks were well made and the bartenders were cheerful & conversational but not overly so. I highly recommend locals to try but it is also worth a drive, as it was about 25 minute drive south of me.

    We have been here before with different menus and every time we come, we are satisfied with our meals. Very Delicious food and cocktails. The service is always great, we always get the same server and she is always phenomenal! It is a very nice space with an even better patio!

    Cocktails are excellent
    Fred S.

    Had dinner here for the first time. Based off what I had read online I thought it was more of a wine bar but I think the dinner was fantastic, the layout of the restaurant actually has both a dinning room and a bar area so it's good for both drinks or a formal dinner. One of the things I loved about it is that their appetizer menu had both tapas and appetizer sizes. We ordered one of almost everything at the tapas size and the price was very affordable, about 5$ per dish, and the food was excellent. For mains we had the steak and mushroom pasta. We loved the food and drinks. The service was excellent and food was brought in a way where we always had something on our table but never too much. I will definitely return. One dish I recommend is the potatas bravas. It's odd to say but the chef really cooks potatoes well, it was really a highlight!

    I was taken to this cute tapas place and it definitely did not disappoint. Some of the dishes change seasonally but the menu is delicious, especially with the extra wine pairings. The Flavors are out of this world here!

    I enjoyed my time at the event. I did have to ask several times what the food was that was placed for the event. The wines were delicious, but the food was not to my liking. I will be going to try the brunch and the happy.

    Seared Scallop - to die for
    Marah H.

    Amor is an elegant tapas and wine restaurant in beautiful Tacoma, with a romantic and warm ambiance and a menu that offers flavors you could only imagine. The food was absolutely to die for and for a non-wine-drinker, I could not get enough of their wonderful pairings. You can anticipate this place to be busy, but the friendly and professional service will not disappoint. I would be remiss if I do not HIGHLY recommend that you try the seared scallop; it's the best made scallop in the state. Cheers!

    Brittany H.

    Delicious drinks and tapas. Calming atmosphere with friendly service. I loved this place. It is fancy, but relaxing. Their menu has plenty of options with fancy names. The food and drinks are delicious & presented artistically.

    # Tasting Room Heartbreak: When Man's Best Friend Gets Banned…read more Just found out today was Pickle's last day at one of my favorite wine tasting rooms, and I'm absolutely devastated. As someone who visits weekly, this place has become my weekend sanctuary precisely because it was so dog-friendly. The charm of seeing Pickle's sweet face in the window was something I looked forward to every visit. I can't count how many times I've watched people walking by stop dead in their tracks, point at that adorable face peering out, and decide right then to come inside. Nathan's charismatic hosting is what initially kept me coming back weekend after weekend, but the dog-friendly atmosphere truly sealed the deal. In a world where finding quality places that genuinely welcome our four-legged family members is rare, this spot stood out. To the management: please reconsider this decision. Pickles wasn't just a cute mascot - he was part of what made your tasting room special. As a devoted wine club member, I'm seriously questioning whether I'll continue my visits without the joy of seeing that precious pup. Who else is heartbroken about this? Have you ever chosen a place specifically because it welcomed dogs? #SavePickle #DogFriendlyWineries #WeekendWineRuined

The food itself was decent, but definitely overpriced for what you get. We ordered a cheese plate and a salad. It took well over 45 minutes just to receive the cheese plate, and then another 35+ minutes for the salad to come out. That felt excessive, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy when we first arrived. There was a bridal shower happening, which is totally understandable and of course events can impact service. However, at the time we were seated, it wasn't crowded at all. The service was also disappointing. Our waitress rarely checked in, and we eventually had to go up to the bar ourselves to ask for napkins and water refill. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but for the prices and the wait times, I expected much better service and efficiency. I understand maybe we caught them on a off day, but for being my first experience I'd consider giving it another try, but improvements in attentiveness and timing would make a big difference.
