Good food. Good atmosphere. The bar tender made the night with great recommendations and really good old fashion. For a great first trip to Amor when you want to try several Tapas and a small entree just order one of the Tapas/Entree meals and split it if there's two of you. It's plenty to taste all the Tapas and still get entree. It's not about saving money (it does save a lot) but it's going to be a lot of food. Plenty. Take your time. Enjoy. Also first trip sign up for InKind app. Save $25 on first visit when you check out and pay bill on app (your date won't even know you used a discount). Even if you are not into wine try a wine flight. The Spanish wine flight is a good choice. Try something new. It's around $150 with tip for two but for a night out it's really good experience including drinks and dessert. The huckleberry cheesecake is a good option with a huckleberry whipped topping. If you are really hungry split the paella which is still a lot of food. You can add a second entree but you will need to go boxes. Steak and shrimp salad is also a good entree choice. Usually some type of live music depending on the night can add to the experience. Try it out. Some people complain about size of Tapas. The Tapas are small but that's the point. Bring great conversation and it's a great date night. read more

Innovative tapas, great service, and a nice ambiance. It would be nice to have more traditional tapas, looking forward to see how their menu evolves read more

Wine list is exceptionally smooth to navigate if you're new to wine and the tapas menu had something for everyone in our group. Very modern romantic asthetic and the private courtyard was perfect for the evening. Staff were on top of everything for service. read more

See all

I judged Conway for his review but then went tonight for an ostensibly special pre fixe new years even dinner and... He was right. It was a little awkward. The whole thing seemed like maybe a kitchen that was a level or two beyond the rest of the staff. I asked questions about the wine and was just told "I don't know" with no further attempt to find out or ask someone else. We got 3 oysters with no explanation and the were told after "by the way those were all different ". Thanks. At the end "you have to press custom tip" like do I? For this experience? I did but.... The food was great but the front of house staff was so amateur it was just bizarre for the experience. Would come back but maybe not for a special dinner. Also honestly suspicious because one oyster tasted off and I got sick tonight ... read more

Made a reservation here based on a good recommendation I had received. Unfortunately our experience was not the same. We showed up at 5:45 for our 6pm reservation & were asked to sit in the bar while the dining area didn't open until 6 & they had a large wine tasting they were accommodating. Totally fine, ordered two happy hour tapas that were delicious. Once 6pm came the staff basically said the large party wouldn't leave & they didn't have a table big enough for 3 people. A man who I then found out was the owner, came up to us & had clearly been partaking in the tasting. Slurring his words offered to pay for our tapas but still didn't provide a table. Then said "sorry your reservation didn't work out how you wanted it to". A little frustrated we then moved to a table within the bar to then order food & no one came to take our order. 20 minutes later I asked for the check (which was just our two tapas that the owner said he was going to comp) paid & walked out. Maybe don't take reservations if you are not willing to accommodate? Disappointing. read more

We came here several times a while ago and loved the food, the wine and the live music so much. On our recent visit it's all changed for the worse (except the wine). Those first visits, service was fantastic with experienced wait staff. The tapas menu was enormous and delicious. The entree menu was small but the food was great. Now, our server took our orders by standing on the far side of the table. It was so loud, I couldn't hear her and there was a clear open place at the end of the table but she never bothered to move. She also never checked on us again after that first contact. I had to go to the bar to get another glass of wine. The food took forever to arrive and was a solid disappointment all around. Everything was booooring and either under or over seasoned... I had the steak, potatoes and salad. The salad was the best tasting thing on my plate. The potatoes were soft and had twice the salt they needed and the steak was properly cooked but lacked any salt whatsoever... and the pool of gravy it sat in screamed for flavor but went unheard. A little acid and salt would have helped the gravy so much... the tapas were no better. The patatas bravas was not at all crisp and was drowned in boring sauce and the meatballs were flavorful but cold (like straight out of the fridge cold- ew). Finally we tried the hockey pucks that they call "cheesecake" ugh like out of a vending machine bad... Given how expensive this meal was I expect better and have had better at many cheaper options in town. Do yourself a favor. Skip this place OR come for a glass of wine and the amazing guitarist but avoid the food altogether. read more

We had an absolutely fantastic meal here last night to celebrate my wife's birthday. the cocktails, wine, entrees, tapas and dessert were all outstanding. The service was excellent. The price seemed appropriate. My only complaint was the font used for the wine list was so small it was laughable. Print an extra page or two so we can read it with ease. I had my readers but what I needed was a magnifying glass. read more

Excellent spanish tapas bar in Tacoma. Who would have thought. Extensive wine selection. Decent tapas menu AND Paella available!!

Went here this Saturday and when I saw the place I thought.. omg a Spanish restaurant (finally!!!) I'm Spanish and unfortunately there's nothing in this area :( anyway, as I looked at the menu and read their "about" section, I learned that it's more of a fusion of different Mediterranean cuisines, which is fine. I knew to go in with a different expectation. Had red wine, they were out of Rioja, but it was still great wine. No complaints. The tapa sizes are what you'd see in restaurants in Spain when the tapas are FREE... veeeeeeery small sizes. So, not what we'd call a tapa more like a "bocado" (a bite). That really disappointed me, specially the boquerones.. I have never seen such small boquerones and the quantity... pfff. We tried the albóndiga(s), singular, and they weren't Spanish at all. Again, I saw that Italian was part of their cuisine which is fine BUT to avoid misleading people, perhaps call them by their Italian name (polpette). Because I was expecting Spanish albóndiga(s) but instead got 1 small meat ball and it was in a marinara sauce which is Italian, not Spanish. Again the size for a singular meat ball.. pfff. The clams and muscles were nice, and actually had a few of each so that was appreciated. I didn't and won't try their paella I'm afraid. The location itself is beautiful, great atmosphere. Might go back for a drink, but that's all. Really pricey for what you get, in my opinion. read more

We were very excited to have dinner at this new restaurant featuring Spanish tapas, it livid up and exceeded our expectations. There are about a dozen tapas, 4 salads and 4 entrees. The tapas were authentic. It is a small restaurant and beautifully decorated. You need reservations. They a gorgeous Barr that has a Spanish feel to it. The service was good and they need more help. They have runners with the tapas, it requires a lot more service. We did not mind because the food was so good. Wine and drink list right on point for a Spanish restaurant. We will be going back very soon. Parking is challenging and I suggest using the new trolly and walk down one block to Pacific. Tacoma needs this restaurant! read more

Went for the first time last night and it was great! Had a few of the tapas and all were good, but the albóndigas and patatas bravas were excellent. The wine list has lots of interesting Spanish wines as well as some nice non-Spanish options. The staff was welcoming and attentive even during a busy Friday night dinner service. The space is clean and modern and has a cute outdoor patio in the back. Can't wait to come back! read more

Stunning cuisine, enchanting ambience, and exceptional service!! Wonderful restaurant for date night, special occasions, or even business over tapas. Will be back soon! read more

Food was delicious and well served I particularly enjoyed the ambiance of the location the decor was beautiful the service was fantastic but I love the Cozy Mystique of the atmosphere read more

Loved this new place in Tacoma. We shared 6 of the tapas which were wonderful & the server told us the scallop was a serving of only 1 piece so we each ordered our own. Good choice as it was superb. The serving of anchovy was pretty skimpy but tasty and the chocolate cake was only ok. Good wine list which we thought was reasonably priced. Already planning our next visit. read more

We will be returning. Staff and owner were very welcoming and attentive. The cocktails were delicious as well as the food.

Friendliest Service staff around. We showed up 20 minutes before opening and the owner said come on in. Very intimate with a cool concept.

Definitely check out Amor wine and tapas if you want an absolutely delicious experience. Every plate was better than the last. The spare ribs were especially great. Beautiful ambiance and excellent service! We will come back again and again! read more

My friend and I stopped in on a whim on a Friday night after shopping in the area. I'd heard good things about this place and love wine so I figured we'd check it out. Upon entering, the host (older gentleman) seemed annoyed that we were there since we didn't have a reservation. I said we'd happily sit in the bar (as I looked over and noticed two empty tables). He begrudgingly sat us at a 2 seated table. It took about 15 minutes for our server to come over and pour us water when she noticed we didn't even have menus. The wine menu is so hard to read! It's in like 8pt font and the bar is rather dark or at least where we were seated it was. Their wine list is extensive, but they only have a few glass pours for each varietal which are in bold font. For their bold reds, they only have half a dozen or so glass pours - I was rather disappointed and decided on the Recanteur Cab. I was really hoping for something from the Santa Lucia Highlands, but I guess that was an older menu or something I saw online. We ordered a butter board and 4 different tapas. Our butter board never came. We had to ask for it AFTER all of our tapas came out because we were still hungry (I'll get to that later). We ordered the meatball(s); scallop(s); gougere; and the potatoes. They brought out the meatball first. My friend and I looked at each other and were very confused. We thought these were tapas (e.g. meant to be shared between two people because that's exactly what the menu suggests), so why did the plate in front of me have one small meatball? It wasn't even a large meatball that could be split in half and enjoyed between two people. Next they brought out the potatoes and gougere which were fine and shareable as the gougere came with two pieces. They forgot to bring us our final tapa. Our waitress told us the person running food threw away our ticket so she had the kitchen make us a new one. When I say one, I literally mean we were brought ONE scallop for $12! Again, my friend and I just looked at each other and laughed because what else could we do at this point? Our waitress came over and I told her that we were still hungry considering we'd split a meatball, scallop, and had a few other snacks along the way so we still wanted the butter board hoping for some carbs. The butter board came with 4 thinly sliced pieces of bread and three different butters which were good. I'd order it again, but I'd ask for more bread. There was way too much butter for the amount of bread you get. My wine glass sat empty for at least 15-20 minutes before our waitress came back over. She apologized and said this isn't normal, but they were super busy (as I looked around and the bar was practically empty at that point). She poured us each a glass of wine on the house because our experience was pretty awful and she acknowledged that so I appreciated her trying to make up for it. When we got the bill, there was a 5% back of house service charge. I'm not sure what this is for, but I encourage you to pay your employees a decent wage. I mean, your prices are high enough to afford such. All in all, we spent $73 (not including tip) on two glasses of wine and 4 tapas (e.g. 1 meatball, 1 scallop, a few mini potatoes and 2 cheese pastries) and left hungry. read more
