Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Tacoma

We’ve been going to Primo for 6 years and we have always received stellar service, but tonight’s dinner was legendary! From the visual of sitting in front of the chefs to the special menu for the holiday, everyone was attentive and accommodating. The best part of the meal was dessert: Sticky Toffee Pudding with vanilla ice cream all topped with whipped cream! Spectacular!

We dined at Over the Moon for Valentines Day. From start to finish, the experience delivered everything we hoped for when we booked the reservation. We started w/ the clams, waldorf salad, and bisque. Clams: Smaller starter packed w/ flavor. Perfect way to start the evening. The fresh sourdough bread dipped in the clam broth was quite enjoyable. Waldorf salad: The beat/ parsnip puree in this salad was phenomenal and paired beautifully w/ the frisee, walnuts, and pickled fruits. Bisque: Light, refined, and filled w/ crab. Saved some sourdough for dipping and basically scraped the bowl clean. For mains, we had the duck breast and lobster mac and cheese. Duck: Perfectly cooked, crispy skin, unctuous cherry reduction. The side mashers and veg paired well. Lobster Mac: Very filling. Lobster chunks were apparent is nearly every single bite. To finish the meal, we enjoyed the lemon posset, which provided the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. Light, refreshing, and topped w/ a to-die-for strawberry sauce. Wish I had another right now. We always love our dining experiences at Over the Moon and this one was no exception. Needless to say, we'll be back sooner rather than later.

Fantastic service, delicious food and what a great environment to spend Valentine’s Day. Would highly recommend for special occasions or a normal night out. We will definitely be coming back for more.

We’ve been to another location before and I’ve been to many other Brazilian steak houses. I’m Brazilian and my husband American and we both love eating here. All the sides and salad bar are amazing and the churrasco, delicious. Will be back!

Dukes is a favorite in our family due to consistent quality. Hubby loves their rockfish tacos, and the kiddo swears by their calamari and clam chowder. As the one in the family with seafood and shellfish allergies, I rely on their burgers. It was an absolute delight to see filet mignon on the menu for Valentine's Week, and I would love to see it, or another beef entree become a regular item. Delicious desserts, too, especially the brookie and the marionberry cobbler.
