We had dinner here at the bar. Best to make reservations, but if you arrive early you might be able to get a spot at the bar like we did and it's fun to watch the drinks being made. Great wait staff and the menu is awesome. Highly recommend getting lots of small plates to share rather than individual courses/appetizers. The bar is excellent as well with a really nice selection of cocktails and professional bartender able to make requests. The menu is Spanish/Italian for the most part and those who enjoy seafood will benefit most by eating here, but there's something for everyone. We plan to go back as often as possible. Don't sleep on the tinned items. Shout out to Manny our bartender.
Good is amazing! Bartender is the best!
Sweet little space. Wonderful ambiance. Very friendly and helpful staff. I love a small menu that is dedicated to quality and this spot has it. Fun, quirky cocktails. Great spot for a date night and upper scale food with a casual feel. Have not found a resteraunt in Tacoma like this yet. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back for happy hour.
This place is pretty incredible (minus one issue): the outdoor seating is a brilliant interplay of protected and open air and the food (plenty of vegan options) is to die for. The pickled cucumber and the house-made focaccia was terrific. The service is attentive and fun. The only big issue (for us, anyway) was that we didn't finish our meal and asked what type of container they use for "to go": we were told it was compostable paper. We minimize plastic like crazy, so got the container. Not only was it not paper but it wasn't compostable. It was just plastic clamshell. Made by "Earth Choice," the company does offer compostable items, but this is not one of them, and recycling's pretty much a myth around here. So, we'd appreciate knowing what we're getting next time because we would have skipped the side of plastic.
We showed up at 8 as a party of 2 and were able to be seated right away. The building itself is very cool looking, and the restaurant is cozy with good ambiance. The host was friendly, and our server (I think her name was Katie?) was the best server I’ve had in YEARS. She was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We got the house salad, oysters, the nettle chicken and dumpling special, the collard green pesto, and a bottle of Willamette Pinot. The entire dinner was great. Maybe a little too much salt in the pork for my taste on the pesto dish, but it was still a really amazing dish. We will definitely be back. I’m so glad to have found such a great little spot in Tacoma!
My husband and I had an amazing experience here! The drinks, food, and ambience were wonderful. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and letting Manny guide us. Highly recommend the Mussels on toast, the salad, and the pesto and the bolognese. We love that they let you order half orders of the pasta so you can try other things on the menu. Manny helped us pair our meal with a fun, funky wine and the old fashioned was one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The restaurant is small so definitely make a reservation. We can’t wait to go back!! Thank you En Rama team!!!
I had dinner here 2/22/22 with 2 friends. En Rama surpassed my expectations and is my new favorite restaurant inTacoma. It is that good! The cocktails, especially the Manhattan and two dots and a dash were perfect. Our server was very enthusiastic and she had great bar and dinner recommendations. We shared the mussels, burger, mac and cheese, and collard green pesto. Everything was excellent. Thank you En Rama!!
Amazing date night spot. The mussels were the best we’ve EVER had. The polenta was incredible. Very well trained service staff was welcoming and had great recommendations. Wish we lived in Tacoma!
We tried this place out a couple of weeks ago and I can’t say enough great things. First, the cocktails were fantastic. I had the golden path (our waitress described it as a warm, smoky, winter hug) and my girlfriend had the egg nog. Both were delicious. The food is also some of the best in Tacoma. The service was amazing. We will be back!
I can't say enough nice things about this place. The space is wonderfully intimate, the food exquisite (I recommend the mussels and beef ragu), and the service exceptional. I came with friends, but I'm already anticipating having a solo cocktail at the bar.
