The front of location shows market/dining on left and the landing/realty on right.
Carol H.

I'd give a higher rating based on beautiful location but Yelp is based on actual food/dining experience. Went on beautiful day, nice drive off freeway exit. There was ample parking in front and across the street. Nice enclosed deck dining and small indoor dining. The view being on the water and partial peek at Mt Rainer makes for great vibe especially on nice days. We were excited to try this place seeing the ads on FB. We knew it was busy having to park across the street. We walk in and see a station on the left that said drinks on tap, forward was a food making station with partitions making it look closed off from ordering. So then we thought maybe we just sit down. Staff was buzzing around to fast to ask what the system was. We walked outside but only a couple tables but in full sun. So we grabbed a small spot next to the busy path of customer/staff. Nobody was smiling or eager to help us lost newbie's. Not even the nice looking older couple I would assume as the owners. Signage for the ordering area would have been appreciated. We finally realized the beverage area was also for food. We went primarily for ye so called sourdough pizza highly advertised. Little did I know it's one size $40!!! I've never paid more than $30 then to find out it couldn't be modified at all in a restaurant was crazy to us. She said it comes how it comes no other Ingredients available when I asked for onion!? What? We arrived just after 3:00 and saw a sign saying 50% off all pastries on Sundays while paying for our pizza/2 drinks on tap. So I picked a plain croissant and a chocolate croissant that she confirmed were included. I realize a few minutes later just as our pizza arrived that she didn't give the discount on pastries. So I go to counter, same gal and obviously had short memory saying it must have been before 3:00! I said "you just helped me and the 50% off sign was out otherwise I wouldn't have known about it". Another gal was quick to grab the receipt and told me the discount was credited back to my card. The original gal gave no apology even after I said I was glad I checked my receipt. I was wondering why our bill was $75 ! Not that $6 credit made a big difference but honor what is stated. Ok service obviously not impressive, confusing layout for ordering or if it's table service. Then too we find out after getting our pizza that it's self serve for plates/flatwear, condiments, boxes, water. Maybe put big sign inside front door so everything isn't a mystery causing so much confusion which doesn't make for good experience. Ok for the food, the pizza arrives fairly fast, I had just enough time to circle the gift shop area that was OK, too many children items and prices like an airport. Nor specialty foods seemed more appropriate here. The pizza was very good, yes the focaccia crust also very tasty. Could we detect the sourdough that's so talked about? Not really. The Alfredo sauce great, the chicken sparse given the cost, the bacon in my opinion maybe took over the sourdough. Really wanted red onion slivers and/or mushroom. Was it a $40 pizza, not really. At that price we felt like "ok been there done that" type of thing. Now if had been an Alfredo with seafood ( clams, shrimp, bay scallops) people could justify $40. Chicken and bacon pretty inexpensive currently. You're missing the boat not offering seafood sandwiches, salads and pizza. But it can't be higher priced to sell well. I've wanted to have a small salad with the pizza but I wasn't paying $12-18 more! Paying $40 for the pizza should come with a small salad or at least offer $6 green salads when buying the pizza as a combo special. I wanted to love this place but being 3 years old it felt like they were still in opening stages being out of sync.

Local beer selection at the moment.
Felix S.

Such beautiful scenery and friendly staff with super tasty bread for sandwiches and pizza. I wish they had a smaller option for the pizza as we don't always want to commit to a $40 large one. Prices are a tad high for what you get but suppose you are paying for the view as well. There is additional parking across the aha which is nice. A nice selection of local beer is wine is also a plus.

Wonderful view, wonderful food. So happy we were able to match a sunny day off with their hours! We enjoyed some on tap ciders and Marta's Choice for pizza: Italian sausage, apple, Brie, hot honey and fresh thyme. Kicking ourselves for not going sooner, will definitely be repeat customers!

Chicken Salad Sandwich with Enchilada Soup and Olalla Valley Salad.

Very good lunch, friendly help and Amazing Views. The Chicken Salad Sandwich was fantastic along with the Enchilada Soup. My wife had the Olalla Valley Salad and she loved it.

Tina F.

The ambiance here is remarkable but the food is amazing!! The pizzas are the best and the Italian sandwich is out of this world!! Espresso, sourdough focaccia, adorable things to purchase. It's so worth the visit! Y'all, the view!!

deck dining
Joy P.

what a gem of a local find! paddleboarders, kayakers, kids, elderly, millennials: add some sun and the start of a weekend in the pnw and this place is MAGIC! get there late afternoon/ early evening if you want prime seating for drinks, pizzas, sandwiches, salads or italian sodas. nothing i saw being consumed looked anything other than fabulous and our half pepperoni, half brie, prosciutto and hot honey pizza was excellent! tables in the shade were at a premium with the sun and the heat but it's just a lovely place to hang out and unwind! i will be back. the food's too good and it's also a place i'd like to introduce my local friends and those who visit in the upcoming months to! i'm walking away so satisfied and full!

Come for the views... stay for the pizza. The cider. The chowder. The people. Excellent pizza choices and you can even pick one up and bake at home if you like. Perfect late fall day here after the atmospheric river downpour.

When booking, I specifically explained that I did not want our group seated in the back of the restaurant. The employee helping us was very kind and offered us the patio instead, which we happily agreed to. Unfortunately, the evening before the event, the manager called and canceled the patio reservation, moving us to the back section instead. What made the situation frustrating was not just the last-minute change, but the lack of professionalism in handling it. There was no apology offered despite the reservation already being confirmed. Her communication felt dismissive and confrontational. But she eventually agreed to atleast seat us towards the center or the restaraunt. We were also told the patio was unavailable because of a separate event, yet on that day, the patio still had several open tables during our reservation time. The food here is good. But communication, professionalism, and customer service was signifanctly lacking. Had there been clearer communication, accountability, or even a simple apology somewhere in this process, the experience would have felt very different.

We stood there for what seemed like 10 minutes before the guy on the phone said he will be right with us. He finally hung up and took the order. Otherwise the pizza was good and we did have fun in the pinball area before the pizza came. Sometimes just acknowledging a waiting customer makes a big impression.

To be honest, it was probably one of the worst salads I've had in a long time. The dressing was very bland and I asked for no hard boiled egg and it came out with it on. I had already picked it off in the photo. I asked for chicken (+$3) and it seemed like it was that premade bagged chicken. The tomatoes were also not good. I ate maybe 1/3 of it. If I had gotten a pizza myself I'm sure my review would have been a 5 but the salad really ruined it for me. The staff were great though! Very friendly and attentive.

We got 3 pizzas (pepperoni, mushroom, and soppressata), beer and a lemmy for the kid. We found seats in a booth, and I took my kid to the thrift area while we waited. Before we could finish a story, our pizzas were ready. They were so good! Kid loved her pepperoni pizza and extra mushrooms. I loved them all, my husband and I enjoyed the spicy soppressata and mushroom pizzas. Worth the drive and fun to finally visit (we went for a walk on the foothills trail a short drive away). Great service, we also got a vanilla pistachio ice cream (so good!) and incline cider. I'm not sure if we'll make it this way regularly from Tacoma, it's just a bit of a drive... but we found ourselves making excuses to come back to the area (hikes! Park! Bike rides!) so we could come back for pizza again. Loved the space. Very kid friendly with coloring sheets and crayons. Lots of kids with lemmy (sparkling lemonade bottles). When we left a lot of tables were full but there was very good turnover so it wasn't too bad. Parked nearby across the street.

This is truly a hidden gem in Washington. Service is counter order, it was fast and the cashier was polite and helpful. I was amazed at how quickly the food came out, their pizza cook puts others to shame. I would try to poach him if I owned a pizza restaurant. The interior is about what you would expect from a 100+ year old building. It has a cool old school vibe and feels hip without being too hipsterish. 10/10 will definitely come again.
