- OTOpenTable DinerJacksonville / Northeast Florida •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoThe experience we had was amazing. We got parked underneath and got up the stairs. We were greeted as we walked in and they pulled up our reservation. While pulling up our reservation, it was noted when I made the reservation that she was allergic to all seafood. They reiterated that when they pulled up the reservation so that right there alone let me know what type of place we were at so we get to the table we order our food. We order a drink and it was like everything just came out amazingly beautiful. The drink was amazing. The food was amazing. We both had the prime rib, but mine I ordered lobster mac & cheese, and she ordered the regular white cheddar mac & cheese now remember there was a food allergy here now I have been seeing them walk to tables with two plates and hands you know passing them out making sure orders got where they were. They came to the table dropped off her food. They came less than 30 seconds after with somebody else dropping off my food when you pay close attention to detail like that to make sure that no seafood is even in contact that’s what you call. Five stars. We have nothing bad to say about this place. The food was amazing. The service was amazing. The view was incredible. There was nothing bad to say about this restaurant 10 out of 10 would definitely be back again.More infoStanley & Seafort'sPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Tacoma•4.4
- SstacySeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoMy husband and I enjoy all the McMenamins. However, we are older and it seems to be a little dark. It would be nice to have some light on each table so we could actually read the menus. We are also passport holders and have noticed it’s dark in most of the bars and restaurants.More infoMcMenamins Elks TemplePrice: Moderate• American• Tacoma•4.5
- SShawnSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined on 13 Nov 2024I am a fan of Over The Moon so a friend joined me last night for her first time. As usual, all the seating was filled -- on a Tuesday night! but the service was timely and attentive without being annoying. When we first arrived at 4:45 the music was louder than I remembered .... but turned down to an accommodating level for conversation. I personally avoid most restaurants because I find having to raise my voice to have a conversation is not relaxing. My friend tried my favorite, lasagna, and found it unique (no pasta) and soooo good. My friend was surprised when four friends arrive later to celebrate a birthday -- we are all from Gig Harbor. No view, no gimmicks ..... just a comfortable setting for a better than usual dining experience.More infoOver The Moon CafePrice: Expensive• American• Tacoma•4.9
