I haven't had food this good since I went to Paris cafe by Jean-George in the TWA hotel at JFK in NYC. Amazing cuisine. Thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Beautiful plating, too. The service was polite, but not friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience, either way. Immaculate view of the ocean from the bar, and most of the tables. I also love how it was more on the quiet side, gives a more personable experience. Will be returning, and recommending. read more

Breakfast is a bit pricey, but definitely some of the best hollandaise I've ever had and I love eggs Benny! Beautiful restaurant located in the hotel and staff was super friendly. The chef gave me two extra eggs because they felt they overcooked the first set. So nice! read more

Amazing place in Tacoma. I loved everything about this restaurant, from the option of valet to the seating arrangements. Food is fresh and tastes super yummy! We went out here for a girls night out, and it was everything we needed to take a break from it all. Our servers were attentive and informative but not overbearing. We all ordered something different and were able to share it all! I didn't order a drink but I heard the drinks were over the top and highly recommended from my friends. My favorite from that night was the pasta entrees. Everything was delicious but I haven't been able to find somewhere in Tacoma that serves something like that in pasta form in a long time. It has an Ethan Stowell component so it impressed me. We will be back! read more

I didn't want to review this restaurant originally. I have lived in Tacoma for a minute. Compared to other restaurants along the waterfront at Ruston, this one doesn't hit that high! Yeah It's in a hotel but aside from that it was very distracting Sunday morning! I prefer to sit with my back against the wall. Staff gave me a sit were it was exposed and politely told me the section next to my seat was close, than proceeded to sit everyone else behind me. There was crumbs all over the floor and table I was seated in, which kinda was odd because I was the first to sit there. another patron complained and they took their time Cleaning off her seat and table. I can't remember the food....which can tell u something. Better go across the parking lot to Wildfin, 571, or even the Ram down the way! read more

My friend took me out for lunch for my birthday. The view is beautiful from the window seating! We went on a busy, sunny Saturday and yet we were seated right away without a reservation. Our server was attentive. The food was good. But I don't think it was anything super special. I didn't realize they were still serving breakfast/brunch menu even until around 2pm. I would've liked more lunch/dinner options to choose from. Check their hours for what meals they serve before making plans! read more

For the money - nah - very expensive and not wowed as I should have been - and u can't go down to the water after dinner??? WTH

Had wanted to try dinner, but decided to do brunch. It was a great choice. The dining room is beautiful and pretty much every table has a view of the water, mountains and island. The real stand out was how friendly, helpful and efficient the entire staff was. I'd go back just for that. The brunch menu is not super extensive but has plenty to choose from. We got a breakfast burrito and the garden omelette. Both were excellent and came with really excellent home fried potatoes. We also had a mimosa and a bloody mary. Both drinks were great. Prices were reasonable. Food was good. Portions were perfect. Nice atmosphere. We will be back! read more

I had brunch here for my birthday. The food and portion sizes were good. It was a nice atmosphere.

This place is absolutely amazing and totally worth the money. Between my girlfriend and I we spent $120 after tip which I felt like was so reasonable for everything we got. The food was so so fresh and just mouth melting. I'm so glad my girlfriends and I could come and just indulge here. We will definitely be returning for a girls night so we can experience the hotel too. read more

Amazing vibe with amazing bartenders. The gentleman Chris and Chris both had a genuine passion for their craft and it showed with the knowledge of the spirits being served and the attention to detail on the cocktails being made. If I was to ever recommend a place for a neat scotch whiskey and some good conversations, it'll be Copper and Salt. Hands down. read more

The restaurant and view were beautiful. The staff were attentive but seem slightly annoyed at the fact that my date and I were talking more than eating. The food itself was decent. A bit of salt on everything would have really went a long way because unfortunately my entree, the chicken Milanese, was bland. Crab cakes were good though! read more

Third time there for dinner ... did not disappoint! This time, rather than a double date, with a party of twelve. Service friendly, meal excellent, value pretty dang good. Will be returning! read more

This is our first time eating here! We like to try new places so this was up our radar. Our server Whitney was awesome. She was super quick, friendly and attentive. The host Caleb was very welcoming and friendly. The manager Carlo made sure to connect with a lot of his customers and made us feel welcomed. As you can see, we tried quite a bit. Everything from the left to right was SO GOOD! Although, I recommend the Lamb chops & the Meatballs! Thanks to the chef who made it to perfection. The service, the food, the ambiance was all a 10/10! read more

Ambiance was great, super cool vibe. Food was decent, good selection, but was cooked in way too much oil and no bread/butter...food temp was very inconsistent as well. Service was good, our waitress was quite pleasant, but drinks took longer than our food even though we put that order in first. It's a new restaurant, so I think they are still working out a lot of kinks; but overall, it was a good dining experience. I would probably go back to try again in the summer, hopefully by then they'll be on point. This place has a lot of potential. Pro tip, their desserts are delicious and use valet, they validate! read more

Food and our server were amazing- would highly recommend! However, we were asked to leave due to "a reservation for our table". For context we were seated for happy hour at 3:45, ordered apps drinks and eventually dinner. We were considering dessert when a manager came over at 5:50 and informed us that we needed to either move tables or leave as there was a reservation for our table coming at 6:00pm. There were 2 other nearly identical tables open next to us, so I am totally confused as to why this was necessary. We spent over $300 so it's not as if we were wasting table space. Our waitress seemed totally confused when we didn't order dessert and just paid the tab so clearly it wasn't her decision. Such a bummer way to spoil an otherwise wonderful evening. TL;DR Amazing food just don't stay too long read more

Complementary parking, good-decent but pricey food, service was lacking and slow but the dinning experience is definitely worth it. The atmosphere was top tier and above the rest. I like it here read more

The Steelhead was amazing and the Italian sausage and gnocchi was awesome. Service was also very good.

Copper and Salt is a modern Italian American restaurant at the Silver Cloud hotel in Ruston, Tacoma. The location has lots of easy parking nearby. The interior decor is very spacious and attractive and the dining room has a great view of the waterfront. Service was prompt and helpful and responsive to our needs as we were attending with a young child. The menu selection is poor. There weren't many appealing dishes and little that excited me. My choice was "Half Roasted Chicken". I am sad I didn't take a photo of this, but it was a boneless breast (with only part of the breast meat), and boneless thigh. There was no sign of a wing or leg at all, and the potatoes (listed on the menu as fingerlings) were completely spherical and in no sense fingerling. I prefer my chicken bone-in, but also I expect a half-chicken to have at least most of half a chicken. Disappointing. The restaurant is billed as Copper and Salt (exciting to my wife who is a fancy salt enthusiast), and the room was decorated with various salts. But none of the menu items offered varied salts, and it wasn't possible to ask for a special kind of salt at the table. Not recommended for dinner. read more

We've been here many times for breakfast and dinner. Both menus are wonderful and we often come back with family and friends for the food and views! We had the chance to visit the bar on New Year's Eve which we haven't before. Nic at the bar gave us a memorable experience complete with exceptional service and drinks! Everything was top notch from the quality to the atmosphere! We can't wait to come back and visit with Nic! read more

Food , service, atmosphere 10/10. This place is Incredible and is going on our top 10 date night locations . We loved it so much that I wish we were staying in the hotel . Hoping the incredible service we received is reminiscent of the whole building . Views are second to none. The restaurant is aesthetically very pleasing . Our server was excellent and went the extra for us . Highly recommend the appetizer oysters and my most favorite handmade pasta pappardelle with mushrooms, delicious . The focaccia was a little too salty for me . read more

The restaurant is Located at the silver cloud inn and hotel. The service was exceptional from the start. The courtyard is spotless and the valet greeted us right away. The valet answered all of our questions and accommodated all of our needs. They prefer you be a guest, or dining at the restaurant to take advantage of the free valet, so keep this in mind when parking. The host (who may have been the manager) greeted me right away and again accommodated all of my requests. There are huge booths (my favorite) and the bar stools are well cushioned with backs. The location is breathtaking. Pretty much the entire bar and dining room overlooks the water, not to mention the patio with fire pits and heaters. The decor is fabulous and you can tell this place values cleanliness. I got the side Caesar, it was perfection. I didn't try the croutons but something tells me they would have been fire! They have espresso even decaf and alternative milk for the non dairy drinkers like me. My latte was perfect. I ordered the spaghetti with a meatball and it was super yummy. I wish I could have stayed to try more and I bet everything else is just as delicious. read more

Copper and Salt is a hip, swanky restaurant located in the Silver Cloud Hotel. The atmosphere is perfect for dates, parties, and happy hours. located right on the water, the restaurant posts views of the sound that would be amazing, especially during the summer. Sabrina, our server, was so helpful and patient with our many questions about the menu. The lamb chops were my favorite entree. They were cooked perfectly, and complemented well by the sweet potato purée and pickled jicama. I was full, but the best decision I made all night was ordering the ganache tart for dessert. It was truly heaven, definitely one of those desserts that literally melts in your mouth. My husband's favorite part was the chocolate cookie crumb crust. We will make a point to come back when we are in Tacoma again. read more

We made a reservation at1130 and showed up on time. Not only the table was not availabe, we were made to wait in the lobby for over 30 min. I had to check in a few times to see what was happening. After that experiece the service and the taste of the food did not matter. read more

They gave me an italian soda that has a long strand of hair sticking out of the whip cream. I asked them to replace it which they did. 30m later i have diarrhea.

First visit, underwhelming... beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. Our waitress not so friendly or helpful. My Caesar salad was okay, beautiful lettuce but cheap powdered cheese and a few croutons (tasted like boxed). Octopus was chewy, too much lime, and I didn't understand the bean. The chicken dish was awful, overcooked & dry, and to flat breast not half a chicken. The scallops were good but tasted like lime. Overpriced meal... read more

Copper and Salt is located in the Silver Cloud Hotel location that is at Ruston Point. After going through the hotel we already decided we will want to stay here overnight since we liked the look of the hotel so much. But that will be for another time. This time it's all about Copper and Salt. We went here for breakfast and we really enjoyed it a lot. Not only was the food was great but you get a view of the water which is always enchanting. For my breakfast I got the Pork Belly Hash. It was a very good dish! Wow! Was it salty! What do you expect with Pork Belly though? Steve's breakfast was wonderful with sausage and eggs that made up the most of it. Very flavorful! I also got a fantastic Bloody Mary and Steve got an awesome Mimosa so it was definitely a good meal with those drinks too! I'd love to try their pancakes sometime which easily makes up my decision upon our return back here for a breakfast meal. read more

Too bad the Food ( which is the most important part) did not match up to the ambiance and service. Unfortunately, the chicken added to the Caesar Salad lacked any and all flavor, not even salt & pepper. While the Gnocchi was extremely rich the "Homemade" Italian sausage was at best store bought generic sausage and the gnocchi were gummy and gritty. Not to mention, how do you serve a dish like this and not even offer a piece of crusty bread for the sauce? For the prices charged, I expect more. But I'm sure it was important to have cloth hand towels in the bathrooms. read more

It really is a gorgeous restaurant with a great view, but to be honest the food was nothing special, it all looked a lot better than it tasted. Drinks were really good and the service was ok. We went for dinner and breakfast and I think the whole experience and quality of food really varied depending on who was serving you and making the food. We enjoyed our breakfast a lot more than our dinner but even then my breakfast burrito was soggy and lacked flavor. read more

We went in for a date night and it was such a vibe! First we ordered our drinks, I got the lavender cocktail and my partner got the milk & honey cocktail. They were strong, but good!! For our appetizers we got the Caesar salad, pan fried oysters, and focaccia bread. My partner ended up eating the pan fried oysters and salad as his meal because the portion was pretty big! The cheese dip for the focaccia bread was so good and had a little kick to it. For my entree I ordered the bucatini alla rosa and I'm so glad I went with it! The pasta was giving lemony alfredo. Tasted a lot better than expected! Not sure why there are a lot of bad reviews but we had a great experience. The staff was great and the food was delish! Bonus: valet is complimentary! read more

The breathtaking views and lux decor are what draw me to this place- I have lamented the options for dining on the water since moving here; since this place has opened I often choose this for special lunches.

This is the 3rd time I've been to Copper and Salt. Start with the good! Waterfront location with 20 foot tall floor to ceiling windows for great views to looking to the North. Many window tables, but even non window tables have very good views. Service OK. We did have to wait for 15 minutes despite being on time for our reservation. Staff were friendly. Staff was to our table quickly for pre-meal beverages and water. I ordered a cocktail called Dark Brew; what I received was a Lager beer. Sent it back and 10 minutes later received a dark beer, sent it back and finally received my ordered cocktail 10 minutes after our entrees were plated and on our table. It would have been good before dinner, but did not go well with my Wild Boar Pork shank. I sent it back as well. Disappointing, but mistakes happen. Not too big a deal. Pork shank was flavorful as was the accompanying polenta. Halibut was overcooked, firm, not flakey and was not terribly flavorful or memorable. Porterhouse was ordered medium-rare, but was medium well. At this point we were trying to get through the meal and not cause more delays. For the quality and execution , this steak felt overpriced. Focaccia bread was very good. Good appetizer. Sides of crispy brussel sprouts and marbled potatoes were not good at all. Both were undercooked and had an unpleasant remaining firmness/crispness that was closer to raw than cooked. We sent both back and did not replace them. I discussed with the manager and service rescue was attempted. A complimentary dessert was delivered, a chocolate tort of some type. It was dry, hard and partially frozen. While I appreciate the effort, we tried 2 bites and left the rest. I'm not usually super critical, but the cumulative errors and poor quality kind of ruined the evening and the experience. Overall, not a great experience. Would not recommend and I have no plans to make a 4th visit. read more

The view- awesome, the service- great, ambiance- alright, the food...was my least favorite. Best part, you can get free valet if you dine there!!! I wish I would have none that as I parked in the parking lot and paid $20! My friend chose this place because he was staying at the silver cloud hotel. It's was pretty convenient for both of us. I really enjoyed the lavender cocktail, but the food was less than memorable. I ordered one of the pasta dishes, I think it was the one with anchovies. The restaurant is conveniently located at Point Ruston and I'm sure will do well, but maybe try the salad. read more

We were really in the fence about this place because of its hot and cold reviews. Some people love it, some people don't. I don't know how people don't. View? One of the best you can find. Food? Delecious and very hearty portions, service? Five star. I will say we didn't get any pasta dishes, so I can not comment on that portion, but our food was fantastic. One disservice to this restaurant on Yelp is the lack of good pictures. I'm fixing that by putting up our food and drinks! Everything looked and tasted amazing! Our server was one of the best I have ever had! We even got a congrats on our dessert. We will be back to try the pasta, but if it's half as good as our meal was this time, I can confidently say we will be repeat customers for years to come. Do yourself a favor, grab a reservation, and stop on in. read more

Unfortunately my review places this establishment pretty low on my list. While our server was friendly she missed out on some opportunities to be more prepared to meet our needs. We did have one gentleman come to our aid when we asked for enough utensils and napkins and I got up and found the straws myself when the server couldn't seem to bring one. The wait time between taking drink orders and food orders was extremely long and it honestly did not appear the place was to busy vs the available staff. I ordered strawberry pancakes- they were pretty heavy doughy pancakes and the restaurant failed to take advantage of fresh seasonal fruit instead opting for purée and syrup. My bad for not reading menu better. Just assumed a place of this caliber would do it right. My wife had some brioche French toast that was pretty dry in spite of syrup and butter. There were some highlights- bacon, shrimp and polenta, the Bloody Mary, and the wonderful outdoor view of Commencement Bay on a Summer Day. Give them a try but be cautious. read more

I go to Copper & Salt regularly and have sampled their breakfast, brunch and dinner menu. It's at a gorgeous location, facing the Ruston Way waterfront. The interior is modern and clean. The staff are always friendly. The food can be a little inconsistent at times, but always take feedback and makes things right. I'd say my favorite time to stop in is during breakfast. I used to always get the avocado toast but absolutely love the pork belly hash! The potatoes and pork is seasoned perfectly for a lovely hearty meal! For dinner, I def recommend the scallops! It's a beautiful light dish that couples well with any appetizer of your choosing! read more
