Foods are so good. I did not even talk to anybody while I was eating. Top notch customer service. Everyone who works here was so kind.Owner Shawn makes you feel like you are his best friend/family.You just have to try it. Pictures don’t do justice

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We had brunch here today, and everybody was delicious! We had the Law bomb, the lobster bomb, and the French toast bread pudding. All of them were just amazing to eat. Sean came over and paid a visit to our table - It's so nice when a restaurant owner meets all of his customers and talks about the place. He's such an asset to Tacoma! We will definitely be making another reservation and coming back again

I was so excited to get a reservation here for our week-end getaway. I really expected to love it. We decided to share something, both because the portions sounded huge, and we had been overeating good food for 2 days. We settled on the Vindivich Cristo, thinking that a sandwich might be easier to split than, say, a bread bowl. It came on one plate, so we asked for an extra plate and were given 2 tiny plates. It was pretty impossible to pick up a sandwich on puff pastry, so we tried to cut it, which was also difficult, and messy. There was a thick piece of ham, which pretty much overpowered the cheese. There were lovely greens scattered on the plate, with no dressing at all, not sure how we were expected to eat them, but they weren't that good on their own, and we certainly couldn't add them to the "sandwich". And half the greens had powdered sugar on them. As did the 2 whole boiled otherwise unadorned potatoes? I know the chef is sincere with his food, and I really wanted to like it, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

A five star experience! The food is thoughtfully created and plated as as if an artist’s palate. Unique, creative, full of flavor, this is truly and experience one should be so fortunate to have! I appreciated the sublime service and the opportunity to meet and talk a bit with the outstanding Chef. Very memorable experience. Get the lobster bomb, trust me!!!

First time visitor.Shawn is a miracle worker. He makes the amazing food served here on a camp grill and a tiny multi-rack oven. It's incredibly humble and honestly unfathomable to me.The service was also downright lovely from start to finish. Everyone was so kind, on point, and inviting the hour we were here. This is going to become a frequent breakfast stop.Support your local establishments that put community and quality ahead of everything else.

This was an amazing experience! The owner let us come in half an hour before opening so we can have the place to ourselves for our anniversary breakfast. Everything from the service, vibe and taste was so good! I regret not taking more pictures but trust me when I tell you- go and check this place out!Thank you again for hosting us❤️

This place is fantastic, and that might be an understatement. The owner is an extremely nice human, and for having an itty bitty kitchen, he works miracles. This is by far the best restaurant I have stumbled into in a while. The prices are fantastic for the quality of the food. He nails the presentation. Portions are wonderful. Taste is right on point. I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. You should really make a reservation and go try it. You won't regret it.

I just had our company event at Tibbitsfernhill. The service was superb, and the food was absolutely incredible! Shawn took care of every detail, and we wanted for nothing. Thank you, Shawn, for putting on such a fantastic evening and letting my team know how much I appreciate them. I will definitely be back!

Truly one of the memorable breakfasts of my life, outstanding flavors in the lobster bomb and attentive service. Shawn came to the table to introduce himself and took our orders personally, great guy and a talented chef, producing masterpieces from a two plate burner! The meal was huge since it was in a bread bowl, there was a lot of lobster where most meals skimp on it due to the cost. The candied bacon had flavors I have never experienced in bacon, the sauce was unique and also packed with flavors. I don’t know how so much flavor can be packed into a simple potato, and it was perfectly done. I have repeated the word “flavor” too many times but this meal was characterized by it, amazing.

I cant explain to you how amazing this whole experience was! First, decor was cute, quaint, eclectic, and I ❤ it. Secondly, the service: spot on! Friendly, attentive, and awesome enough to have offered my 2 tiny humans coloring books and crayons. Third, and most importantly: THE FOOD! I traveled to the area for the holidays and the only requirement was during the week long visit, I needed to eat here! I had been seeing it online for months and couldn't NOT eat it. Us 5 adults (plus 2 tiny humans) decided to order 5 meals and table share, since we couldn't decide. Pictured: the French toast. Also ordered the zucchini pancakes, lobster bomb, frittata, and the chef's shrimp and lobster crepe. Obviously, they are all much better named, but I can't explain the taste. All amazing. All way too much food. Im currently back home with family and overstuffed. I just couldn't stop eating. And when we left, we still had so much food left. Chef Shawn somehow has figured out how to make magic happen quickly from his very small kitchen. Next time I return to visit, there is absolutely no way I will miss eating here again. If I could give bonus stars for the experience overall, I would! Congrats on your success Tibbitts. You most definitely deserve it.
