Slahal Steakhouse - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We went for happy hour at the rooftop outdoor bar, and this place really is pretty amazing! I love the view and the overall vibe. It's spacious, has a great fireplace, and TVs throughout the space. I've been here a couple of times before and have always enjoyed it without any complaints. Unfortunately, this last visit was a different experience, and it all came down to the service. There was only one other table outside with two guests, so it certainly wasn't busy. Our server, Jalieka, wasn't necessarily rude, but WOW, she had absolutely no personality. From the moment we were greeted, she gave the impression that she really didn't want to be there. She was inattentive throughout our visit, very slow, and made little effort to engage with us. One of my biggest pet peeves is having an empty water glass, and ours did not get refilled once. We enjoyed the appetizers, although I wish there were a few more options on the happy hour menu. Wine was good an ok priced. I would have easily given this place 5 stars because I really do love the atmosphere, view, and overall setting. Unfortunately, service plays a huge part in the overall experience, and this visit fell short. Hopefully, it was just an off day, because this place has so much going for it! read more

We had a great server with an amazing view! The filet mignon was amazing on top of the linguini. I love all the good food with the company of my friends and family. Overall, everyone there was so nice and made the night such a good vibe. read more

Good prices for happy hour. I ordered the surf and turf sliders and the steamed clams. Great big portions however the fries were very bland. The sea bass on one of the sliders was extremely fishy. Steamed clams were yum! Nice view of the sunset. read more

Slahal Steakhouse - Happy Hour - Surf & Turf sliders and the Steamed Clams - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This restaurant is great! Not only do they have live music, great servers, and beautiful view...the food is delicious! The salad was yummy and the crab cake was to die for! The crab cake is so fresh, full of Dungeness crab...not breading... flavorful on its own but served on top of the most decadent hollandaise sauce. The stuff of dreams! read more

Came in on a Saturday without reservations, so we grabbed seats in the bar area. The ambiance was dark and moody in a good way, and we were lucky to catch a live artist who sounded great. Food and drinks were great - the tomahawk steak was lovely and my usual cocktail was spot on, Midori Sour. Our waitress was friendly, but the service lacked urgency. She kept forgetting to place some of our orders and even told us multiple times that she forgot to put in the oysters... which we never ended up getting. I know the bar area isn't always treated like full dining, but the lack of attentiveness was noticeable. We'd come back because the steak was excellent, but next time we'll make reservations and sit in the main dining area. read more

Slahal Steakhouse - Tomahawk - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

This is our first time here and will def come back. Our server Sam was very nice. He moved us to the other side of the dining area so we can have a beautiful view of Mt.Rainier, which we really loved so much. Then he gave us warm breads with butter right away before he even started taking our drinks and appetizer orders. The complementary breads were so good! Everything we ordered was plated beautifully,freshly made and tasty. It was a Wednesday so it's pretty slow and empty but the service was top notch! My bf and I usually go to Steakhouses and I will say that this place has a good variety of menu options with decent prices. We haven't tried their steak that's why we'll def come back soon lol Highly recommended! read more

The views from this rooftop restaurant are great! The ambiance is amazing and the service is wonderful. Most of the food we ordered was good as well, except... The crab and some of the mussels on the seafood tour were overcooked, so the meat turned out really dry. The Tableside Tomahawk was ordered at medium rare but was served closer to rare. While it's not a big deal to leave feedback with the server and ask for the steak to be cooked closer to our liking, it's disappointing to have to do that in the first place at a restaurant of this caliber. Everything still tasted good, but would have preferred if everything was cooked properly the first time. Still a great experience though! read more

Came to the steakhouse with my boyfriend right before Valentine's Day while we were staying at the casino. Got greeted almost instantly by very friendly staff. We were seated in a fantastic spot of the restaurant with a view overlooking part of the city. Everything came out fairly quick with great quality and we were checked on regularly a bit on the price your side, but definitely well worth. read more

The service was amazing!! Sam was our main server and was so great!! Ophelia was a secondary server and also amazing! The food was very good, but honestly have had better at steakhouses. I get it when people say it's a casino steakhouse, but the best steakhouse I've eaten at (many times) is at a casino in Wendover, the Rainbow, so it's not just judging casino food. The desert was the star, next up the shrimp cocktail. The steak was average at best, but overall a good experience....other than the wedge salad which was good, but literally a half head of iceberg lettuce, just too much. I will say, the absolute best thing was Sam Dawson who was singing in the bar. We will be back for happy hour just to hear her. read more

I never knew this restaurant existed at EQC! Head past the hotel lobby and take the elevator up to the 11th floor to get there. The ambiance was nice, I definitely want to come back to hang out at the outdoor lounge. I took my mom to eat here before gambling. We had the ribeye, bone-in filet mignon, Spanish octopus, wild mushrooms and truffle fingerlings. All dishes were tasty and my steak was cooked perfectly. Our server was great too. I'd recommend trying this place out especially if you're already there to gamble! read more

Bar and steakhouse located on the 11th floor of Emerald Queens Casino and opens at 4pm. The elevator key card will not be activated beforehand. Small dining room but decent size patio with tons of heaters. Live music while you dine. A few tv screens. Happy hour food items Weds-Sundays from 4-6pm. You could also order flights for certain drinks. We sat at the bar and ordered a Paloma and Galaxy Moscow Mule. The Galaxy Moscow Mule was the prettiest drink and unique with the Butterfly Pea Flower flavored ice cubes. I'm familiar with butterfly pea flower when alcohol changes the pH and the color changes but to have it in ice cubes is genius. Fun drink. Don't forget to eat the ice cubes! It has flavor! read more

Dinner date with my son. We ordered the Creamy Garlic and Artichoke Bisque, Pan-seared Jumbo Scallop, Pan-Roasted Chilean Sea Bass Topped with a lobster, Grilled Filet Mignon & Tiramisu... Everything we had was really delicious. We both enjoyed the food. Will definitely be back with the family. Ambience is upscale, beautiful view at night with all the lights and they have deck with fire place. Service was fantastic, our server was very attentive and nice. Highly recommend and for sure a must try! read more

Although I wish I could give this place 5 stars, I cannot. Went here for a special occasion and it failed me/us. I was really excited because I was hoping for a wonderful dinner but it lacked service and quality of food. Now, the ambiance was great because you are at the EQC Hotel which is brand new and beautiful. Just entering the garage and going toward the lobby and going to the rooftop restaurant was a nice experience, since it is not busy, and is adjacent to the casino but no casino machines. Once you get to the top, the restaurant itself is beautiful. Unfortunately, they were busy and it didn't seem like they were well staffed so our waiter was nervous. The steak we ordered "medium" was over well done which is not Ok. So told them and they did it again, but you can imagine, to do that it takes time and it is not the best experience. Wish they had compensated us for this lack of details and experience but o-well. I won't be back any time soon. read more

I would say that this is a fun and very expensive date night spot. It is located at the EMC Hotel and just a short walk to the Casino next door. This restaurant has a very nice, romantic steakhouse atmosphere. Service was not lacking. The menu was on the steeper side. The Seafood tower will set you back $125 and the Tomahawk $198 but hey, you can win it all back at the Casino right? Haha. That would be a great night! The food was really good. Ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Seasoning wasn't overpowering. Big enough for 2. The sides are also shareable and we ordered the mushrooms. OMG. Best mushroom medley I've ever had! I couldn't get enough. I loved the King Trumpet mushroom that almost tasted meaty and I just love little porcinis. They also have a lot of fancy cocktails if that's your thing. Con: The oysters that night were the size of a nickel. Sweet? Yes but not worth the $40/dozen. The Brie appetizer was interesting because it came w a few berries and roasted garlic but we didn't have anything to put it on. No toast or crackers. So we didn't really know how to eat it. Were we supposed to eat it with the complimentary bread rolls? All in all, it was good but there are other amazing steakhouses in the area that won't break the bank. I'd save this place for a once a year special treat. read more

We had a reservation at 6:45 pm with a request for a window, but got hungry and decided to see if anything was available earlier. We were promptly seated. From start to finish, service was amazing. If you order the tomahawk steak, it comes with two sides and this amazing sauce made with cognac. Drooling. The garlic mash was okay but the Brussels sprouts were 100x better. That, paired with the steak and the sauce. Chef's kiss. The strawberry lemonade was not what I was expecting, given the presentation of everything else, I would have at the very least expected some muddled strawberries in it! The steak was so juicy. Cooked to perfection. Seasoned amazingly. It was so much food for two people that we had to have them box it up for us. Will definitely be back! read more

We came here to eat for Christmas Eve and it was so worth it! We came in with no reservations and was seated in less than 5 minutes. Our server came by and asked us about drinks. Then she came back and took our main orders. I ordered the ribeye 12oz and my husband got the New York Au Poivre 11oz. We also ordered shareable sides of grilled asparagus and wild mushrooms. We also updated our appetizer to clam chowder and it WAS GOOD!! The ribeye was so tender and the cook was great for medium rare. The mushrooms were out of this world! They put magic in it or something. The asparagus were tasty as well but the tomatoes that came with it weren't great. By the time I finished chewing it, I was taking out the stuff I couldn't eat which was mostly skin. This place was great! Definitely would come here again especially if I want to feel fancy (dress is casual). read more

My husband, daughter and I came here for dinner while in town for a soccer tournament. We had an 8:00 reservation. We were greeted by the host and sat right away when we arrived. Our server came over and took our drink order and got those right away. We ordered the baked Brie and the scallops as an appetizer. They were both delicious. The scallops were perfectly cooked and had a yummy sauce on them. The Brie has a sauce baked in with it and was a perfect combination with the Brie.we also got complimentary dinner rolls which were hot and yummy. For our meals we ordered the chicken dish and the filet mignon. The meals came with your choice of soup or salad. The steaks came out cooked perfectly medium rare. They were so tender and seasoned and were so delicious. My husband's chicken came out juicy and had a sauce on it and was very flavorful. Everything came out hot and fresh. We added grilled asparagus and the smash potato. They were large enough to share between the 3 of us. Our server was Emely. She was amazing! Super friendly and nice. She checked back with us multiple times but didn't do it too much. We enjoyed our meal here and would definitely recommend it to others. We also had a table right next to the window so we had a view of the bay. The sun was setting so it was a beautiful view. read more

An amazing evening, wiith my favorite dining companion. Awesome location especially if your commute only involves an elevator, more on elevators later. Nice little bar With great views and an outside deck with fireplace and heaters, just note no food outside. A little live music occasionally. Small sitting area around bar, note only 1 low table, everything else is a high top. Dinning room is nice with spectacular views of I5 , or the water beyond. Really is nice. Though we admired it from afar, the seafood tower looked AMAZING! We started with the Lobster Bisque @ $17 and the French onion soup@ $14. The Lobster bisque was smooth and velvety on the tongue and had a nice piece of claw meat, something not seen in many places. My French onion soup was good but it would have been better served in a crock. We had the clam chowder the night before and that was great. My companion ordered the Lobster Capellini @ $55 and I ordered the Tuscan Beef Tenderloin Pasta @ $42. Both were outstanding. The tricky part of both dishes is the pasta. You can jazz up any plate with Lobster and Beef Tenderloin but to time the pasta with the proteins, that's the thing. Lobster, Tenderloin and pasta were outrageous. We both loved our plates. As it was my companion's birthday, we both enjoyed a comped desert sampler that complemented our meal. Prices are in keeping with any good restaurant that serves great faire! Get a players card in the casino and get a minimum of 10% discount or more. Also, I believe, Emerald Queen Casino charges no state or local tax on Restaurants. Now, the best part the service! The entire wait staff and bartenders are the star. And 1 star that shines very bright was our waiter, Sam. He was as personable and professional without being overbearing or hovering. We've had great meals that have been ruined by poor service. I sometimes feel like the next "meal" for our wait staff as they hang on you like a vulture. Sam was the final element that made a special evening. read more

My boyfriend and I were on our way to a reservation at another restaurant in the casino when we noticed advertisements for this restaurant in the elevator. We decided to inquire about the food here instead. This restaurant is conveniently located near the casino and hotel lobby, right by the freeway, and offers a view of the local Tacoma homes. We visited on Valentine's Day around 4:40 PM without a reservation and were fortunate to find seating at the bar. We were informed that the menu here is the same as at their other restaurant. The view was absolutely gorgeous, the ambiance was cozy, and the food was fabulous. While the prices are on the higher end, they are worth it. I ordered the Jumbo Prawns wrapped in bacon and stuffed with crab meat ($45), and my boyfriend had the Cedar Plank Salmon ($39) with a shareable side of asparagus ($13). The staff were very attentive, personable, and professional. This restaurant is excellent for date night, and we can't wait to return to try their Seafood Tower ($125). read more

I was staying alone at the Emerald Queen and decided to get away and try something new. Slahal is located on the top floor of the hotel, so it is accessible for families/non-casino goers. I had a seat in the bar and decided to try the beet salad and a dirty vodka martini. They were close to closing, but were super accommodating! The bartender was very sweet..There is also beautiful outdoor seating that extends off of the bar. My salad was delicious and the drinks were just as good. I will definitely return. What a lovely atmosphere. read more

I've been to Slahal twice now. Once for a new year's celebration where a special menu was offered and the second time for my husband's birthday dinner. Both times we had the same server who was very quick, attentive and had great suggestions. This most recent time, we ordered the seafood tower, the tomahawk (which was prepared table side) and our friends ordered the Chilean sea bass and a New York steak. They gave us a complimentary dessert platter for my husband's birthday with a variety of small bites, a lemon tart, macarons and some chocolates. As far as ambience goes, there was live music and a pretty view out the window of Tacoma. Everyone was so impressed by the quality of the food and the service provided. The wine selection was wonderful. My husband and my bill was about $400, which felt reasonable for an expensive steak house feel and the large items we ordered. We would for sure go back for special occasions and bring out of town guests here in the future. read more

Came here for a night of self care. The hotel stay was amazing. Got to the restaurant and decided to sit outside because the wait was over 30 mins and I didn't have a reservation. It was a chilly night but the heaters and the ambiance made it well worth it. They were a little short staffed so I wasn't too pleased with how long it took for me to get my drink let alone my food. Had I gotten my drink sooner, I probably wouldn't have cared too much about how long the food was gonna take. The food on the other hand was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!! read more

Slahal Steakhouse - Salad Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We had a great anniversary dinner at Slahal Steakhouse on a Friday night. My husband & I shared a wedge salad (it's huge), and we both ordered the filet mignon Oscar-style, and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The only reason for 4 stars is because the crab in the "Oscar" was very fishy. Unlike any crab we have had previously. It is an extra $25 for Oscar-style. When our server asked how our meal was & we told him about the fishy crab, he immediately removed the extra charge for the Oscar. The manager came to our table and apologized for the crab, & said that they were investigating and pulling the crab they had prepped until they determined the cause. That in itself impressed upon us that this steakhouse truly cares about their customers and experience. Well done Slahal! Because it was our anniversary, we received a complimentary dessert sampler with two flavors of macrons, several tartlets, & berries, with dry ice in the center of the platter that flowed over the table. Such a pretty touch. Our server, Tristan, was fantastic and very on-point. He was extremely professional, and it's obvious that he cares about the experience his customers receive. Very friendly, positive, and respectful. Five stars for Tristan! The ambience was great. We got a window seat, with plenty of room between tables so you didn't have to hear other tables' conversations. Five stars for ambiance! We will definitely be back to Slahal! Thank you to the team for making our 44th anniversary special! read more

First time at Slahal. A nice Northwest steak and seafood restaurant in Tacoma. Upon arrival, we were shown to our table and given menus. We reviewed the menus as we were waiting for our friends to arrive. Prices were high! I expected this from other excellent steakhouses but can Slahal delivery? Almost! There was just something about the service and food quality that we thought brought the score down for this restaurant. It was good and well presented but not really worth the prices read more

My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate our anniversary and I added that to the notes of the reservation. They said nothing about our special event and treated us as any other guests. Sad that our special night didn't feel special. Service was okay but not great. Food took a long time to come out with no communication from our server. When the food did come out, after about 45 minutes, food was cold and had little flavor. The music was far too loud to hold a conversation. Will not be returning or recommending to friends and family. read more

Wow!! We were unsure heading up to the 11th floor of what we would find and we were very pleasantly impressed! The staff was wonderful and inviting, the manager suggesting a wonderful bottle of wine. The food was not only presented superbly but each bite was an explosion of flavor. We especially enjoyed the pasta dish and crab cakes. At the end of our meal we were surprised with a desert for our friends birthday, free, and the dry ice presentation sure made us feel special. Costs were very reasonable for the quality of food! For sure can't wait to go in the spring summer to sit out on the balconies and enjoy the comfy seating and fire pits. read more

Lot's of parking available in the north garage, open fresh air and direct into the nonsmoking elevators. The elevator has simple instructions press the large button to casino and hotel lobby. Security guard present and the hotel front desk clerks are all nice. The elevator to the SLAHAL steakhouse is within 20 steps take two left turns from hotel lobby. I like the atmosphere because one area is formal dining and also has fire places outside fresh air with panoramic views of tacoma water front and on a good day mount Rainer views. My dinner was delicious, and plating was also appetizing. Thanks to the culinary team, my dining experience calls for Michelin stars to visit. five stars earned. read more
