    Great food and service. We went to celebrate my son’s birthday, and had a great experience. The prices are on the higher side, however if you have a players card you save 10% and no tax, which made the bill lower than I anticipated. It was an overall great experience.

    My wife had the clam chowder last night, which is fabulous. It has a little bit of a sweetness to it. I have the beef tenderloin pasta, which is my go to here. It is spot on fabulous every time in my opinion the bang for the buck at this restaurant, the tenderloin on top of the pasta last night was probably the best I have had there cooked to perfection. They really don’t miss on this . You get four rolls before dinner with salted butter and the bread is fantastic. The tenderloin pasta comes with a side salad, which is a very large portion that is not just a plain side salad. It has I believe candied walnuts, Craisins, tomatoes, and what seems like a homemade blue cheese. This combination is my favorite dinner here. The service is always wonderful. They really do a good job.

    Filet mignon was fabulous! Tomahawk was a showstopper, and good. Beet salad was more greens than beets. Smashed (mashed) potatoes were yummy. Server was attentive and respectful. Ambience leaves much to be desired. Too bright lighting. Not an intimate atmosphere.

    Very disappointed, this was my first visit to tha Slahal Restaurant. Starting out on a positive note, the service was good just too long between entrees. Kept clean and the service and table staff were continuously busy maintaining the restaurant. The reception station was very accommodating. Highly disappointed in the food prep, had pan seared scallops as an appetizer - not cooked properly, cold and raw in the center. The Soup had a chalky taste and too thick, like eating paste. The salad was wilted with no mention of blu cheese could not be finished The bread has stale buns where the bottom of the bun was too hard to eat. I had the NY steak, was to be cooked medium rare, the outer portion was good but the center 2 inches was raw I could not finish my steak, the wife had a filet mignon cooked rare was done very well. The sauce covering the steaks was very good. No desert at 8:00 pm, poor planning on behalf of management. The restaurant was a little loud considering the ambiance you were trying to achieve. The bar festivities bled over into the restaurant. The pricing was too high for the level of service and food prep you presently provide. I'm glad I didn't have close friends or relatives, I would have been embarrassed. So many discrepancies, we could not plan a social gathering at the Slahal Restaurant. I will not make a second visit, we had high hopes and were hoping to celebrate our anniversary with Slahal in December, but I don't see that happening. Sorry this was not more positive, the level of restaurant that you are try to achieve needs work.

    Atmosphere: Perfect: great ambience, nice/large round table in the back corner with dim lighting; extremely clean (not a hint of cigarette smoke in the elevator or restaurant). Presented very classy. Service: Hostess was excellent (welcoming, professional); seating time was impeccable. Waiter (from start to finish): Extraordinary!!! Equal to the food, he went “above and beyond.” Professional, knowledgeable, classy, attentive - but not overly so; VERY kind/polite. He presented well and represented this restaurant with absolute top tier class. He made the experience luxurious and he will be the reason we return. Food: We had Ribeye Steak, Chicken salad, Salmon, and Clam Chowder, vegetables, rolls…all amazing). Sons had Chardonnay wine, loved it. The Chef is the best now we’ve experienced, so far (Italy, France, London, Germany, Hawaii, Tokyo, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, etc.). To say this restaurant exceeded our expectations is an understatement. Price: Right on point for quality and service. Location: This restaurant is worth the drive to Tacoma. Parking: Clean. Huge parking garage. High ceilings - can fit any size vehicles (large trucks); bright lighting; present physical security; cameras; close walk to elevators. Directions: Drive past the Casino entrance/drive around to second stop sign (one going to the left and one that will take you straight or to the right): Go left. Very next left turn (into the “East” garage). Take the elevator to the 4th floor. At the security check, circle to the left hall to next set of elevators; take elevator to the 11th floor. Amazing view!

    They are trying to be a premier steakhouse in Tacoma. They primarily cater to gamblers staying at the hotel. They should have a dress code as only the prices are upscale. They do serve prime steaks from about $110 to $130 a steak. We had the regular 11 oz New York steak and 7 oz filet for about $65 each. They came with a salad and small portions of vegetables. We ordered two shareable sides that could feed 4 persons of mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes. The steaks were cooked perfectly, but were a little too salty for our tastes. The New York steak had the fat trimmed off which detracts from the flavor in my opinion. Wine selection was good at $16 to $20 a glass. We had 6:15 reservations and the only dessert they had left at the end was a chocolate mousse cake. Parking in the hotel garage is easy and the restaurant is on the 11th floor.
