This is a simple but truly charming privately owned hole in the wall restaurant in a generally…read morenondescript strip mall. The breakfast was very good - particularly the hashbrowns, which were among the freshest and most uniquely prepared that I've ever enjoyed - and the personalized friendly service was second to none. It is understandably a favorite with the locals, so you may have to wait a bit for a table to open up. Rest assured that, if only based on the breakfast I very much enjoyed, that wait will be well worth it. Hungry? Go here! You won't be disappointed!

My wife and I ventured out to moonrise Café on a spot to have brunch in Lakewood. It's a very…read morequaint and warm spot where we sell welcome. Well, I've had the club sandwich which she said was very good and I'll tell you what happened from the looks of it it was definitely good. I had the pastrami Benedict, I will say that that missed the mark. There are two reasons that really miss the mark. One of them was the hollandaise sauce, which was extremely runny and a very pale yellow, which told me that they added too much liquid to it, and there wasn't enough fat or it was just a powdered mix and they over mixed it, and it had no flavor to it. The main reason I was disappointed was the pastrami they used, they used deli, sliced pastrami and chopped it up. If you're going to have a pastrami Benedict on your menu, make sure it's actual pastrami chunks and it is tender. The deli pastrami did not have any flavor to it. I asked our server about it and she said that one of the other girls that worked there really liked it and she ate it all the time, but it was too spicy for her. I will tell you right now. There was literally no spice to that dish at all nor was there seasoning. I would go back and try something different as everything else on the menu looks good and I give every breakfast restaurant at least two tries.

Tibbitts @ Fern Hill is a spot that I've had on my list for brunch for YEARS. Finally, just…read morefinally, made it in this past weekend with my husband, sister, and dad. Without a doubt this is one of Tacoma's best dining experiences. Chef Shawn's team is small but mighty. The staff that we encountered were all super kind and attentive. It's widely known that Chef Shawn has a radiant personality and treats everybody in his restaurant like a longtime friend. He walked around chatting with everybody personally, showed off dishes as he walked through the restaurant, and was even happy to let diners take a peek at his kitchen (how does he make all this magic happen on TWO CAMP STOVES?!) The menu isn't massive, but everything on the menu is executed with precision and grace. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted but I've had my eyes on the Lobster Bomb for years. My husband got the "Tiny Burrito" which is quite literally the size of a newborn. The Lobster Bomb was excellent. Generous chunks of succulent lobster and the hollandaise was perfect! Subtle on the lemon flavor as to not overpower, but still rich and creamy. I tried my husband's burrito and the chorizo gravy is stellar. You could easily share this with 1-2 other people in my opinion. It lasted my husband two leftover meals! The restaurant itself is small but it's cozy and feels like you're at home. No frills, nothing over the top, nothing trendy. Just a relaxed vibe with lots of authentic touches from Chef Shawn. While this was our first visit it definitely won't be our last. Don't make the mistake I did and let years pass by before you experience Tibbitts!

They aren't afraid to challenge the ordinary and because of their courage to do so and their fine tuned culinary expertise their food becomes extraordinary. The courage, the warmth, their story.... Hats off to Tibbitts!

I saw the featured cake slice was honey cake. Oh my the delicate crumb and fresh layers, delicious! I thought this was just a private reception/event area available for rent. Nope, this is a full sit down restaurant with onsite seating and takeout available too. If you happen to be in the Parkland area, stop by the market and then the cafe. Repeat. You're welcome.
