Potato croquettes $14
Jenny A.

I understand 2026 is a struggle for everyone but this was really a struggle to experience in comparison to my prior visits. Server was professional and attentive. We sat on the patio. Happy hour menu now is pretty bleak. My negroni was excellent but the old-fashioned flavor was off and seemed watered down. The bacon wrapped dates had only two dates on a stick for $6! Wish they would at least write quantity (2) on the menu if not give 3-4 as a tapa. They were out of bread buns for the HH burger even though it was 4:30pm and so we got the regular menu potato croquettes instead. They were ok but essentially just 4 giant tater tots for $14. I miss the pickled veggies with pimiento cheese and bread! And their happy hour with pasta used to be the bomb.

I visited this place as my second choice for the evening and was very pleased with the ambiance. It's a very cool spot with a unique atmosphere. The menu, however, felt somewhat limited, leaving me wishing for more options. I started with the warm olives and mixed nuts, then ordered the shrimp with creamy risotto, which was quite good. The Manhattans were expertly prepared by a dedicated bartender whose perfect retro style complemented the vintage feel of the interior and added to the overall experience.

Brussels
Thiri Z.

We had a large party (14) and that's always a headache. But our waitress was absolutely wonderful and my friend (the planner she is) ordered food in advance so we had a lot of left overs. The drinks was fabulous, we ordered them all, I honestly only remembered the new fashion because it was exceptionally good. The lavender butter with was bread was so devine. I wanted to keep eating bread but I knew there were more carbs coming. The caesar salad was also very good and so was the brussels sprouts. I highly recommend the Brussels! The pasta was also cooked perfectly. I didn't get a chance to ask the specific dish name because we only got drink menus. But my favorite was the one with the ribbon like pasta, we asked the server the name of it, she did tell us but we had many drinks. The cheesecake is not sweet, it's not suppose to be, so be warned. Another friend ordered it and wasn't a fan. Overall it was a fabulous dinner.

Apps were ono.

A hell yes. Food. Bomb. Service. Bomb. Ambiance. Bomb. Hits all around. An "Inner Circle Peeps Only" kind of spot.

Great vibes, nice staff - VERY LONG WAIT for a Tuesday night - only 3 people We enjoyed our food, it was good. But it took a long time for us to actually get out drinks and food for the day of the week and number of people and what we ordered. My niece enjoyed her burger, she can be a picky eater so that's high praise. Subtracting one star for the wait time.

Patatas bravas
Rebecca A.

My goodness I love it here. The service is always great, the food is always delicious. Who doesn't love consistency? The patatas bravas were insanely good, took me back to my time in Madrid! I had the stir fry which was wonderful and vegetarian friendly. My partner had the short rib which he loved. My only note, the focaccia bread appetizer was cold, I will probably skip this next time (as I have a small rule focaccia is always best hot :))

En Rama is a gem tucked into the heart of Tacoma that absolutely delivers when it comes to inventive, soulful cuisine and a cozy, elevated atmosphere. From the first bite to the last sip, this place hits all the right notes. Pozole Pasta. That's the dish. And it's as incredible as it sounds. House-made garganelli pasta tangled in a rich, cheesy sauce with tender chicken thighs braised in guajillo, arbol, and cascabel peppers. It's got depth, warmth, and just the right amount of kick. The hominy adds that nostalgic pozole texture, the pickled radish gives it pop and acidity, and the crispy chicken skin? Game changer. Topped with cotija and fresh herbs, this dish is bold, comforting, and completely unforgettable. En Rama nails the balance of inventive and familiar. The space is warm and intimate, the cocktails are thoughtful and balanced, and the service is friendly without being overbearing. If you haven't been, go. This place isn't just one of Tacoma's best--it's a destination. If you're in Tacoma and haven't been to En Rama yet, you're missing out on one of the city's most inspired dining experiences.

Pimento cheese - IG @bougiefoodieboi
Kyle W.

Nice cozy cocktail bar serving American food in downtown Tacoma. This place is actually pretty popular, on a Friday the tables are fully booked but they do leave the bar seats for first come first served. We went around 6pm and was told a 20-30 min wait and leave my phone number to call when a table is ready, but we actually got seated in 6 min which is a win in my books. We were in a rush as we solely went here for quick food and drinks before going to Thunderdome in Tacoma Dome nearby, and everything came out fast and service is great. We got the pimento cheese and chimichurri bruschetta. These were "light bites" but these 2 dishes were enough for a meal based on portion size. The pimento cheese itself is excellent, and I loved the grilled onions that were included. I am never a fan of pickled vegetables but they do pair nicely with the dish. The bread is toasted nicely. The chimichurri bruschetta is quite hearty too, but pricing is not as worthwhile as the pimento cheese. The filling is not as generous and there were only 3 slices of bread. However, this dish was still delicious, but I would not opt to get it again. Cocktails here were decent. They were somewhat inventive, and I particularly liked the Smokey OF that we got. The other one, La Poire, is decent, but lacks volume. I wished they didn't hastily present the drinks to us, as we saw them smoking the drink, but they lifted the barrier out before we even got a chance to take a video or photo properly. The downside was the ventilation is not the best. We left smelling like grilled onions, so I advise to not wear the most expensive clothes yet the ambience is quite classy.

Broccolini
Sara S.

We had such a great dinner. A friend and I came here for my early birthday dinner. I picked this place because they had a vegan entree and several small plates. The restaurant is intimate with dimmed lighting. The tables have candles, and there was unique Christmas decor that was so thoughtful and interesting. We ordered the marinated olives, house-made focaccia, and broccolini to start. The olives had a flaky sea salt that was right up our alley. The focaccia was baked with rosemary and whole cloves of garlic. The broccolini was crispy and spicy from the red pepper flakes. They were all delicious. I got the vegan pasta (I can't remember the name of it, and it wasn't the same one that was on their website menu). It had a vegan cream sauce and oyster mushrooms. It was fantastic. My friend got the mussels and love them. We got a couple mocktails: Seasonal Brush and Hibiscus Mule. Both were very tasty. Our server was attentive, quick, and friendly. We will definitely return!

Creste de gallo de pomodora
Melissa N.

Mystery lavender coconut milk cocktail
Ebony H.

We had a yummy time, enjoying the food and service from the kitchen and the bartender James. He made some pretty amazing cocktails! Even introduced us to an orange wine, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The oysters were fresh and accompanied by a citrus mignonette which was a new twist for me ( I do prefer a raspberry but this was also delish). I enjoyed the crab pasta salad which was filling as an entree for me. He enjoyed the burger and fries. I didn't get much of a look around the place, it was small and low lit, but there were three tables open and some seats at the bar. We were offered bar seats, the host stated they had reservations on them but we stayed until close and no one ever came nor did he offer to move us after two courses and several rounds. I did deduct points there for a poor hosting experience, unfortunately. Outside the restaurant was an interactive art installment ... a slug that you can sit under and hear "watery" sounds haha. That was the highlight of the night aside from the great bartender banter and service.

Charcuterie board (11/2022)
Marielle J.

This place is very special to me and my boyfriend. For our 1st anniversary, we ate here! It's a small place but they have incredible food! Our first time/first anniversary here, we had a conversation with an old couple that noted our energy towards one another which was special to remember! So you do meet many people who will sit next to you since the seats are close together but not too much that it feels like personal space invasion lol. My boyfriend loves the charcuterie board they have. We've had their pasta dishes which are delish! Recently we came back the weekend after Valentine's Day and had their pimento cheese with bread and pickled veggies. We got so much pimento cheese that we brought it back home! En Rama is tucked in the old post office/ courthouse so when you walk in, it will be to your right. They have these nice big ball light fixtures centered one by one in the lobby entrance before you head in to the restaurant. The old post office/ courthouse holds its historical presence. They also have an outdoor patio area, which I believe has heated lamps. They also had a very cozy playlist of music going. Recommend calling -- since reservations are a must, they usually book out in advance. Service has been great! Definitely recommend!

Mocktail and Mai Tai at the bar
Kelle O.

This was our second time eating here. I made reservations online to eat inside, not knowing they didn't have air conditioning on a 95° day. That was totally my bad, and the heat made the whole experience challenging. The air was pretty stifling and we sweated our way through the meal. The service was great again and so was the food. I had the risotto with chorizo (so good!) and my BF had the short rib ragu (also delish). The drinks were just okay this time. I don't drink alcohol so I had the hibiscus mule mocktail. It was okay. My boyfriend had their margarita though and oddly it has sherry in it, which he felt made the drink taste like vinegar. We probably wouldn't order either of those again. Great food here, but we'd have enjoyed it on a much cooler evening had we known. We'll be back in the fall.

Ask the Community - En Rama

Can they accommodate food allergies that are not major parts of their menu? I have an uncommon allergy.

I would have you contact them. They are very nice but they have a limited rotating menu so they might be able to find something that works

Is this place 21+?

Indoor 21+ Outdoor all ages!

Are there very many vegetarian options?

Around half the menu.

Are the braised chickpeas vegetarian?

Yes

Would you consider it casual or dressy? I'm not very dressy, fyi.

I don't think you would feel out of place there in jeans. It's the sort of place that if your event is fancy, it would feel like a fun setting but if you're stopping in for casual drinks, that would feel right too.

Anything gluten free available?

They have a few veggie sides, salads, charcuterie (just do everything but the bread/crackers). They do have a few pictures of their menu on here too for better ideas!

Anyone know if they serve absinthe? Thanks

Yes. Absolutely. They likely have many types of Absinthe!

The wife would be at one bazaar and her husband would be at another location... so cute! Their spices are dried and packed with punch! My favourites are: garlic sesame; creamy galic; wasabi - packed with lots of garlic is how I like it! It is great for making easy party dips and lovely to put on meats or sauces for baking. A very nice gift idea too for those friends who love to cook =D Interestly, while visiting Puyallup Farmers Market this past weekend, I came upon their booth! It wasn't sold by the lovely couple I know, so I am not sure if its a family business or not. The man was vague in sharing details... but their packaging is local and I know I'll see them again at the local winter bazaars. Give them a try!

Ambaince is quite quaint overall. We sat outside on a nice weather day but table was on a slant and very small. Cant fit more than two entres in table so kinda had to hurry up and finish our appetizers rather quickly to make space. Service could be better with more attention.

The tangy tapenade really complimented the creamy burrata. We were also served the softest french bread, which sopped up the pesto so nicely. We were lucky enough to get a bite of all 4 dinner entrees on the table. I ordered one of the daily specials, the Saltimbocca. The chicken/prosciutto combo was so flavorful in the white wine sauce. The portion was plentiful, I could have taken a doggy bag, but devoured it bite by bite. I was thankful to have made this choice - score! Hubs ordered the Diavola pizza, with crisp pepperoni and pickled serranos. Either the serranos or red pepper sauce gave it quite the kick, not overly, but deliciously. It was perfectly crispy! Family ordered Carbonara and the lamb ragu. Both great portions, very flavorful! Our dinners came with a salad, which was a perfectly lightly dressed compliment to the appetizer and mains. We drove quite awhile in 5:00 traffic to get here, but it was well worth it. We savoured every bite!
