Do not go here warning you will end up sick place looks like a rat hole

Came to this restaurant for a good meal. Instead we got it cold food that we couldn’t eat. The waitress said the rice is supposed to be cold. All the food was sent back and comped . The owner apologized and asked us to come back to give him another chance We will never come back. Food pictured on this page isn’t even on the menu and the food on the menu could never look like this. We ordered mac and cheese for our toddler and it was spicy. They don’t have child menu. Don’t go to this restaurant.

Local dive bar with a decent happy hour 11-6. A single bartender held down the whole front of the house over lunch and did a great job. Go there for basic bar food and a view of boats.

The food here tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend coming for happy hour the prices are amazing! The staff is also pretty nice just seems they were a little short staffed when we visited on Saturday.

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! Great prices! And Great View!

This is how they respond when they don’t want a party of 10 arriving in an empty restaurant at 1pm on a sunday. Extremely empty, and this is how they respond. Speaks for itself

After 10 minutes of waiting to be acknowledged, they refused to let us sit at one of the (many) empty tables outside and got mad at us for choosing to leave… so many better options in Tacoma.

Had heard this place was really good. Came for lunch and really enjoyed the waterfront.The menu on the other hand was rather confusing with the vegan/asian vibe where you would think of a more american/seafood type vibe being next to the water. The menu didn't have any appetizers listed on it. We found the appetizers listed on a table tent after we had ordered our food. The menu really only has about 4 entrees and a few sandwiches. The back of the menu is full with signature cocktails, beer and wine if you wanna get drunk at lunch though.we had the chicken satay and the poke bowl. chicken satay came out as 2 thin strips of chicken with no sauce with a few scoops of rice with some kind of sauce on top. The pineapple topping was the most appetizing part of the meal for me. Chicken was very bland and not filling. poke bowl was basically the same from what I was told.

Good food. Was not terribly busy even at dinner time. They have a great view of the marina. Service was kind of slow, but otherwise a good spot for dinner.

Man the food was really good! In an odd location but it was spacious and you get to see the yachts. They didnt have a few items on the menu when we were there which was a bummer since the menu is small enough as it is. Get the buffalo wings, those are super good.
