Best Date Night Restaurants in Mount Rainier

We had a lovely experience at Bistro Du Jour, our first visit. It was a Sunday at noon. We loved our cocktails. My wife got the Collette’s Punch, which was refreshing. I got the Champs Eylsèese, which was tasty and fruity. We share a Tarte Flambèe, which is a French flatbread. The caramelized onions really make the dish. My wife’s entree was the quiche. Great balance of well cooked egg and flaky crust. I had the omelette, which had a nice goat cheese. The portions were just right for us to have enough room to share a crème brûlée. Nicely done. Our favorite part was the live jazz duo. It was romantic and chill. We will be back.

Did not expect to have a sampling of EVERYTHING on the brunch menu…what a pleasant surprise. The speed in the which dishes were served was just right, serving staff very attentive. The mimosas and margaritas were great! Definitely put this restaurant at the top of your list.

We tried Moon Rabbit for lunch (not easy to get a dinner reservation) and it was a perfect experience. The decor is simple, beautiful, spacious, and welcoming. The servers were gracious & helpful but not intrusive. Flatware and plates were changed frequently like they are in a Michelin-star restaurant. The food was SO creative, not overly salty nor smothered with garlic. Portions were just right for sampling multiple offerings and sharing between 2 people. We had the Chinese broccoli & the squash salad, the stuffed leaves, the mussels, the catfish & the fried chicken. All superb. We had room for dessert and actually ended up trying all 3 offerings. I cannot choose a favorite! None was too rich or too much. We also enjoyed their wine selection which matched very well with the Vietnamese cuisine.

What a great dining experience at Caruso’s Grocery! Excellent service and Amazing food!

It was the kind of place you’d like to go and get what you paid for. I loved it and my wife loved it. We are thankful for such a great service. Definitely a place to go back.
