I'm finally on a streak on hitting the right stops! What a beautiful place next to the wasteland…read moreof Tacoma. The place is VERY beautiful inside. Most of all.... They have OUTDOOR SEATING!!! Let's start off with the MOCK COCKTAIL the Blueberry Mojito. OMG! It was DELICIOUS!!! It had a lot of flavors. Then came out the Beef Wellingtons. They were shooters. The menu says they typically come out in about 25 minutes. We ordered them anyway. Luckily for us they came out first. They were delicious!!! Nice and hot. The breading was nice and flaky. We will ordering these again! The shrimp cocktail and the salads came out. They were all good. However, my wife noted that her Avocado and Bacon Salad needed more Avocado and Bacon. Last the Garlic Ptarmigan Fries. The garlic level can be considered "Date Level". So, if you are looking for something more garlicky then this is not really for you. Salted Rim Bar and Kitchen was really busy. Especially for a Sunday night. They had a trivia contest going on so it was a little loud. However, with the business of the night they had enough staff to go around. With the staff being plentiful we were not ignored. As for the staff themselves they were all extremely nice and friendly. We will most definitely come back here again!!

Since it was our first visit, he recommended the Pulled pork nachos and the the cobb salad with the honey mustard dressing. It's was surprising to see many Hawaiian items on the menu. They have loco moco, spam musubi bowl, Hawaiian sliders and an other things. The drinks were very good too. He made me his special lavender drink that was very smooth and sweet. Just what I like. For dessert we shared the lavender creme Brulee (seasonal) and the Key lime pie. The flavors were well balanced and not too sweet. We really enjoyed everything. Our complements to Chef Kevin.

The atmosphere is warm and lively, the location is perfect, and the entire staff made the experience feel elevated without being pretentious. We had a 5:15 dinner reservation and the restaurant was already packed, which honestly says a lot. The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable about both the wine list and menu, and every recommendation felt thoughtfully curated. The food was phenomenal. We have the chef special which was a chicken skin dish and the short rib pasta with the added burrata; flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. Definitely one of those places that feels just as good for a casual night out as it does for celebrating something special. Already looking forward to coming back.

This was one of my go to spots, so it pains me that its such a diff vibe and the service level went…read moredownhill. This spot is off A street and is located within the big grey building that is the post office. You'll enter where there's stairs on both sides of a grey wall/stone structure. And once you're in, take a right and and the restaurant will be straight ahead. And of course parking, downtown is mostly street parking. And you have to pay during certain hours, so look at the signs to enure you don't get a ticket because the police are pretty well known to not give any grace. Made a reservation online to celebrate a birthday. (And just FYI with the small print, if you cancel less than a day before or a no show, you are subject to a $20 fee PER person). Alright, so this spot has no air conditioning even though its pretty small in there, so I'd recommend sitting outside. Or else, the inside can become a sauna especially in the summer. Had initially requested to sit inside, totally forgetting about the no A/C and my friend who has never been here requested to sit outside. But the server became short with us and was less than pleasant but had intially agreed to take us outside. So it was a confusing situation. And I was embarrassed to bring my friend here because they were talked at and not to and was suggested to sit at a dirty table at that. Food was mid and wasn't as good as it used to be. There wasn't much flavor in either dish.

This place is ADORABLE when it's the holiday season!…read more We came this past Friday and it was starting to get crowded. It's a small place so definitely show up when they're about to open (4pm) bc it'll get crowded by then! Their seating is small so the booths are really for 2 ppl. We were a group of 3 and made it work! Our server was nice and patient with our questions! He said they do this "Christmas pop up bar" during the holidays and fully revamp their menu to be holiday-themed. Everything will be taken down and full menu back in January. I got the Christmapolitan which was lovely! My friend got the cocktail that was named from the Die Hard movie, "Yipee, kai-yay MF" lol. It was pretty good and came in a cute Santa mug with only Santa's bottom half The popcorn chicken was crispy and juicy! Their fries are BOMB, loved the crispiness of it. I got the hot chicken sandwich and it was crispy but kinda got messy and saucey towards the end...overall, pretty good food for what we had and drinks. For the holidays season, they have mugs and shot glasses for purchase to take home.

The hanging spheres, the loud colors, and the wall art combine to make you feel like you've stepped into another time. I appreciate how they go all out with their holiday decorations! They've got a delicious chilled ube drink called Wildcat, and a Busy Buddy special which is a shot of fernet + a Miller, which is a must every time we go. I appreciate the filipino-infused menu; the sandwiches are succulent, and the fries delectable. I've found the service is usually pretty cold - like they want to take your order and get you out of their face. But they're always prompt and double-check to make sure that what you ordered is what you actually want, which I appreciate.

We made reservations for 7:00 PM and were seated promptly upon arrival by the friendly sommelier. It was packed at 7:00! This made the noise level pretty loud so conversations were hard to keep up on. Our server was very friendly and timely. The wine and drink selections were excellent. I grabbed Mr Snuffleupagus because the concept of a tahini washed rye was too much to pass on. It was fantastic. The tahini almost comes across with a PB-like flavor. I ordered the steak frites, medium rare. We shared the pickle plate and fried mushrooms. The pickled carrots were great. Loved them. The pickled fennel was also delicious. The mushrooms were lovely - very enjoyable. The frite were awesome! You can certainly tell the they're fried in beef fat. The steak was perfect. We loved Corbeau and will certainly come back.

There were some products I have had in the past that I enjoyed and it was good to see them here... somewhere close because they were usually a fair distance away. The atmosphere here is quirky as well which gives this place a fun atmosphere. I was a little bit unclear if they sold mocktails here or not. When asked the person that worked there it sounded like they only served mocktails for special events but I saw a machine hard at work making an icy, flavored mixture... something like an Icee or a Slurpee. I don't know if that was for a special event or if it was served all of the time. In the end we purchased a four packed beverage from the brand Blind Tiger. We liked almost all of the drinks fairly well from that pack. One tasted really flat but otherwise the rest were good. Sober AF is a good place for drinking alternatives that don't involve alcohol and these options are a treat and to give you an experience of having a beverage with some bells and whistles to it and have it without alcohol.
