Everything was fresh, flavorful and with sauces and breads worthy of bringing it all together to sop up anything left on a plate.

The breads and risottos are wonderful, as are seasonal dishes based on fresh ingredients. This is also another location that combines a good wine shop with its offering and helps deliver both local Washington products in addition to enough variety globally to meet most needs.

Read MoreThis time of year is Florida Stone Crab Season. The season has generally run from mid-October to mid-May every year. In 2021, the season officially runs from October 15, 2021 to May 1, 2022, a slightly shortened season. The two weeks shaved off at the end of the May is meant to protect the overall stone crab population and to ensure ongoing viability of the industry. As an additional note that shouldn’t impact the consumer, the minimum claw size limit was also slightly increased.
Read MoreOver The Moon Cafe is really an intimate and fun bistro in Opera Ally in Tacoma. The menu is creative with specialty dishes and everything seems to pop with flavor. One of our favorite repeat Menu items is the Croutes de Fromage with Gruyere cheese melted between slices of sourdough bread, complete with an apricot dipping sauce. Service is always wonderful and attentive with good advice given when asked. Visited July 2021.
