First, the girl who helped me was incredibly kind, helpful, and just effortlessly welcoming (also--stunning, which matched the whole vibe of the place). The food? Genuinely top tier. The mushroom Alfredo was hands down the best I've had in my life. I've actually tried recreating it since I got home and... humbling experience. Not even close. The macarons were perfect, the stump cake is ideal if you want dessert without it being overly sweet, and the cheese Danish tasted way more authentic than the usual overly sugary versions (definitely not your typical Starbucks situation). Everything was hearty, filling, and just really, really good. One of those places you randomly stop at and then think about later like... wait, why was that so good? Would absolutely go back.

Fair warning: on Saturday night, get a reservation. The parking lot was full, but we knew that was…read morea good sign. As we waited for a seat, the party that was leaving raved about the restaurant & gave us the insider's scoop on what to order (which wasn't much help because they almost named the entire menu)! Then, we ordered the Farmer Cheese Pirogies as an appetizer, the Gnocchi for our main entree, & the Honey Cake for dessert. The Pirogies were good (they had a slight cheese flavor), but the stand-out was the Gnocchi! It featured perfect little potato pillows, bathed in an amazing cheesy, garlic sauce, with thickly-sliced, fresh mushrooms! It was the best gnocchi of our lives! The cake came in second place- it was moist & pleasantly sweet!

I opted on the cheddar bay biscuit, got my man the cornbread, got the Oreo for my son, Cinnamon Toast Crunch for my daughter, and my niece also got the Oreo. Each one SLAPPED!!!!

They also had a couple humorous signs at the entry that make the place feel very chill and laid back. I'm looking forward to going back.

We were planning to come to Gig Harbor again very soon anyway and planned to come back here and eat. We were under the impression here that the restaurant served sandwiches but that is not correct. It is a waffle place in which you can get sweet and savory waffles. When I am at a waffle place and I have the choice of and I am hungry enough I will get a savory waffle and a sweet waffle. That was just such the case here and so sweet and savory waffles were ordered. I ordered the Blackout which was a sweet waffle with whipped cream cheese, jam and some powdered sugar. For the savory waffle I got the The Hilltop which was a chicken and waffle arrangement with breaded chicken, maple syrup drizzled on it and some powdered sugar. Both waffles were good! They are served kind of in a rolled up manner and not served flatly on plates so it makes them easy to become "to go" orders if that is your desire as well. But if you want to sit and relax the dining setting is nice and laid back.

The raisin and walnut bread was especially good when toasted with some butter--just as the owner recommended. It was delicious. I usually enjoy the salt bread on its own, but this time I tried the salt bread with red bean. The buttery, salty bread paired with the sweet red bean created a really nice balance. The owner always kind and welcoming. I arrived a bit late on this visit, so I didn't order coffee. But next time I'll definitely come earlier to try their new ube latte.

Instead of using syrup like most places, they blend it with real strawberry purée, and you can absolutely taste the difference. It's fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. The shop has a cozy, inviting vibe, and the owner was super friendly and quick. You can tell they take pride in their drinks and ingredients. If you're a matcha lover (or just love a good strawberry moment), do yourself a favor and try their strawberry matcha. They have different desserts and sandwiches available as well which I can't wait to try soon! Coffee Kitchen just jumped to the top of my Tacoma favorites!

Mount Rainier Railroad Dining, the railroad is built in 1922, purchased in Portland Oregon, by founder Robert Thurston. I got to meet and chat with the grandson, he was the only wait staff I saw that day that ran the front. It seems they are short staff, maybe that is the reason for the low ratings. We enjoyed ourselves before getting a table, looking around the railroad, checking out the front of shop, reading about all the history and checking out the gift shop. Pretty nostalgic, love the decor and it was a learning experience! The menu features a variety of American classics, such as steaks, seafood, pasta, and check out the daily specials! Try their specialties, the world famous Hobo Stew, consist of smoked beef, potatoes carrots, and cabbage in a sourdough bread loaf. We enjoyed our visit to Mount Rainier Railroad Dining and can't wait to visit again our our next adventures/visit to PNW. Check it out after you do the railroad train tour, or just come visit this part of town and make time for this. I know pricey but let's support local out here at Elbe!

Ingredients were very fresh and it was reflected so in the flavors. Plenty of other choices from this waffle menu to absorb and definitely worth a return visit to try more of those options!
