I honestly wish I could rate higher! This restaurant provides an experience of travel through wine and food! Can't wait to see the menu next month and the rest of the year! ??

We had a great experience eating dinner here and will very likely visit again.We started with a wine flight and a 3 cheese board. Our sommelier provided wines based on our preferences ( sweet, dry) and asked what cheeses we didn’t want which was very considerate.Dinner was ample and filling I chose the Cheesy British with a chefs special Mac and cheese on the side, my lovely girlfriend had the grilled comfort combo.We ended the night with picking up a bottle from our tasting a Gazela Vinho Verde from Portugal.Overall a great date night spot and hidden gem in Tacoma.

Good quality, kind atmosphere, and reasonably priced.

Smaller intimate setting. Great for night out with a loved one. We are never disappointed at stink, wonderful food.

It smells so good when you walk in, everyone is friendly. Wines are okay but their food is tasty.

Such a lovely and chill place! Their specials are bomb (today we had a grilled cheese with sauerkraut and sausage and tomato soup), and their meets and cheese are (of course) on point (pictured: meat plate and roasted garlic & Pierre-Robert)! A good place to hang out for a while and leisurely snack on all the great menu items, a favorite of mine being the bacon wrapped dates (also pictured). Drinks are also great, whether you’re going for a traditional whiskey on the rocks or a fun cocktail like the “fall mule” which featured a hint of cinnamon apple!

Excellent service and amazing food! We did a catered lunch and everything from ordering to pickup was effortless. Thanks!

Great place for brunch! Bottomless mimosas and bloody Mary's. Staff were fun and friendly. Definitely will be back.

Can't ever get in because parking is non existent. Don't waste your time. Unless you want to jog a mile to eat cheese.

Jenny and Steve are fantastic, and Stink is one of my absolute FAVORITE places in Tacoma! Their specials are always delicious (go get their mac and cheese right now), and their sandwiches are heavenly. Steve takes such pride and care in giving you the most perfect wine flight. Jenny is so kind and positive with every single interaction. I play music here live often and they treat musicians with respect and make it an awesome environment for friends and family to come listen, catch up over a great meal and a drink, and leave happy. I can’t wait to grab brunch there soon, which I haven’t done yet, but I’ve heard is magnificent! If you’re looking for a place to get great food and enjoy a fun, comfortable, warm and inviting atmosphere, look no further than Stink.
