    Zucchini noodle marinara
    Sean A.

    Went here with some friends to celebrate a birthday. A relatively new spot that was a Tiki bar in a previous life awhile back. The Diggs: the updates are well done with a nice look that is modern but not overdone. A good clean look. Pleasant from entrance to dining to restrooms Food: mixed bill. The brussel sprout appetizer was one of the best things I've eaten in a while. Savory but a slight sweet hint of honey although just a wine reduction. I would still be eating these if I could. Wedge salad is a meal or splittable. Classic and tasty although I wish the blue cheese was a bit stronger. Most of party enjoyed their meals. I had the pork chops with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Good seasoning but sadly overcooked and potatoes way too sweet. A disappointment Libations: every cocktail was excellent. Pretty good wine selection by glass or bottle as well. I had their version of French 75 and was exceptional. Great start to my dinner. Price. Reasonable for what would expect for a nicer restaurant. Even with my pork misadventure I'd come back for another try as rest of experience was enjoyable

    Tiramisu

    Amazing food in a gorgeous atmosphere with great staff that genuinely care about you!! I ordered the beet salad, Mac N Cheese, Crab Cakes, with a Tiramisu and Young & Beautiful cocktail. Everything was phenomenal and FRESH!! Beet Salad was impeccable with perfectly candies walnuts that weren't too sweet or too sticky! The goat cheese was a solid flavor but not overpowering the beets with a mild, refreshing earthy flavor! Mac N Cheese was excellent, the cavatappi noodles were cooked perfectly Al Dente, with a modicum amount of chew, and the Mornay sauce was velvety and clearly made from scratch from a roux! The crab cakes were LOADED with crab and the old bay rolemoulade wasn't overly salty and slightly spicy! The crab cakes were NOT overly coated with a nice this crispy batter! The Tiramisu was awesome, a solid coffee flavor that isn't overbearing and the mascarpone cream was delightful thick and creamy, delicious! The young and beautiful drink was equal parts sweet and tangy with an excellent fizzy pop reminiscent of soda but not overly sweet. I will be back!!!

    Zoodles steak with mashed potato's
    Svetlana A.

    The front entrance looks nice, but we were seated in the back and it lacked any ambience. It was just plain tables, no artwork. The brussels sprouts were the only highlight, and even those were just okay. The zoodles and steak were underwhelming, we only ate half. When I asked about drinks, the server said they didn't have strawberry purée. For a bar, it felt surprising to have such limited flavor options, especially for sweeter drinks. They couldn't make a strawberry margarita or peach bellini. Overall, between the lack of atmosphere and very limited menu and drink options, it just didn't hit the mark.

    Schnitzel entree
    Les J.

    I found this place through a tik tok link actually that my Mom sent to me. I was def interested and the hubby and I checked this place out. The service provided by David was top notch! The food was INCREDIBLE! We got to savor the schnitzel and it was delish. My hubby is German and I asked him how close is this to what he grew up with? Pretty close were his words. We enjoyed this dish, a couple aperols and I had a dilly dally cocktail which was very good if ya like drinks a lil stronger. For dessert we had the apple pudding cake which was quite fine too. Plus we took home enough for another meal as the portions are generous. Two thumbs up! A great place for a delicious meal with outstanding service, thanks!

    The food was amazing top notch your guest will be happy they make great mocktails . The service is a classy vibe excellent pampered ! It's a beautiful restaurant ! The decor is modern industrial and the cleanliness I appreciate the bathroom was very nice !!! Should get an extra star !!

    Amazing unique Manhattan! Still thinking about that amaro.

    I have gone to Tacoma while my kid has been in school there and have really enjoyed trying many of the restaurants. I didn't know about West 122 until this last visit. It was walking distance from the McMenimims Elks Temple (tho there is a hill...) on a somewhat lively street with a few bars and restaurants. Lovely decor/ambiance. Very cozy as a storm was coming in. I was alone and sat at the bar and bless that bartender for letting me yammer. His take on the Manhattan was really delicious and different enough, but not over the top. I had two! Great happy hour appetizers: Mac and cheese was excellent, loved the meatballs and the cauliflower made me feel "healthy." I'd go back. Extra points for treating a solo diner with care and respect.

    Philip J.

    I'll say from the onset that the meatballs and crispy brussel sprouts we had are in the running of the best I've ever had. Service was excellent. Our waiter (didn't get his name) was a professional who knew the menu inside and out. We'll be back.

    Chicken
    Tammie R.

    We were so excited to try this place after reading the reviews. We were, unfortunately, so disappointed! The food was subpar. The steak was tough and didn't even come with a vegetable! Server said it came with bernaise sauce...it didn't. Hubby's chicken was just ok, seemed dry without much flavor. Our friend's pork chop was huge, but he said it wasn't very good, For the price, it didn't live up to the expectation.

    This is the rotating steak I believe so tender so so good flavorful and that wine sauce on the steak impeccable
    Dena P.

    This place is truly a hidden Gem i've went to the bars all up and down this strip I can't believe I miss this place is truly upscale. The food is great the grapefruit mocktail OMG, strong and I got two definitely definitely definitely worth the money. I will definitely be coming back to this place and the customer service is awesome. Sarah was my server. She was awesome. I also met Patrick. He was also awesome sauce so I'm definitely definitely coming back there.

    Excellent service, amazing drinks, and best food in Tacoma! The carrots and steak tartare are worth the trip alone

We had a couple of glasses of their Spanish and Chilean wines. The wines tasted vintage and made for a great start to the evening. We got the empanadas tapas which was decent. The bread and compound butter board was pretty solid. The highlight of the night was supposed to be the super expensive Paella. While the rice was al dente, it was unevenly cooked and their oven finish left the rice dry at the bottom. The saffron was barely noticeable and the sauce lacked good flavor, felt more like a seafood broth. Truly disappointing! Plus they billed me incorrectly which was a pain to get corrected. I hope they course correct for the better!

    First visit, on way home to Olympia Sunday after a matinee at the Paramount in downtown Seattle…read more Arrived a bit early for our reservation and were seated promptly. Server was attentive, very friendly, and knowledgeable. My wife enjoyed a frost cosmo. We then started with roasted calamari (which was quite flavorful, although the meat was a bit tough) and herbed focaccia (wonderful for dipping the calamari sauce). The ahi special and boneless short ribs were our entrees; both came nicely presented and were very tasty. Both pretty full, we ended up with a bourbon chocolate cake and fruit hand pie to go, which were both delicious. The restaurant is not large, and filled up while we were there, making it somewhat noisy, but not bad. It is a nicely appointed, appealing place, with a great team making it all happen. We'll be back.

My brother was a chef du cuisine, not a cook. He taught me decades ago how to make a dining experience worthy of people's spending. This was not it. The food was amazing but left the experience me feeling as if I wasted my money. The grumpiness of the individual behind the bar where we sat and ate was showmanship beyond unprofessionalism. When he dropped off drinks...no eye contact, no acknowledgement of our thank yous to him. Utterly embarrassing for the establishment, and for us to support it. If you are that miserable, you should not be outward facing to represent a business. Bartending is an art rooted in many aspects beyond drink making, especially if you are representing a business in service. No offers of drinks with empty drink glasses after rounds 1 and 2. No acknowledgement of empty dishes with wishes of subsequent courses that we were interested in. Yikes, this was bad.

The appetizers were a highlight -- the Brussels sprouts and baked brie were both excellent -- and the salads (arugula and iceberg) were fresh and well done. Unfortunately, the pasta fell short.

The biggest issue, though, was the pasta itself -- gummy and overcooked, not al dente.
