    First time experience - husbands birthday. Service was excellent (Kelly was our waiter). We started with Super Calamari Steak Strips, Lobster Risotto Bites and Dungeness Crabby Deviled Egg - all were amazing!!!! Ordered the Tantalizing Silky Pan Seared Salmon & Holy Halibut Macadamia - (Both were FIVE STAR) for main course. The atmosphere was great - for a May - December gay couple this was a excellent place to be yourself and enjoy each others company. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR THE FOOD AND SERVICE. FIVE STAR!!!!

    Outstanding! I was excited to try Woven and was not disappointed! I used to come to this building frequently when it was CI Chenanigans and was very sad when it closed, partly because the location has the most amazing view! I am so glad it has a new life. The remodel and aesthetics are beautiful and the food was seriously yummy! I will be back!

    The view was perfect. I suggest one might want to reserve a table about 30 or 40 minutes before sunset. That way, as the sun goes down and the city lights come up, one will see Tacoma in many different light hues. Beautiful. The dinner was wonderfully delicious. My guests were slightly disappointed with the dessert choices because they said the options were the same as everywhere else (chocolate cake, carrot spice cake, cheesecake, brownie with ice cream …). They were hoping to find more elegant options for the price.
