Best Waterfront Restaurants in Gig Harbor

Wonderful dinner with my parents tonight. Kendra was our wait staff and she was simply a breath of fresh air amongst staffing these days. She was super attentive, friendly and knew how to talk to her customers. Kudos to Kendra!

Our meals and level of service, which is excellent, has been consistent every time we have dined here. Always a wonderful selection of food and beautiful scenery of the harbor. Highly recommend them to anyone who desires excellent service and food.

Our server was absolutely fantastic! The hosts went above and beyond to honor and acknowledge our reservation requests for seating... They had non-alcoholic mocktails, which was really nice since I'm currently pregnant and avoiding alcohol. The food had some stand outs- We adored the made-in-house sourdough bread and artisan compound butter (blackberry balsamic ganache 😍), the filet mignon special, the mushroom parmesan campanelle, and the dessert special peanut butter blondie with salted caramel ice cream and blackberry jam. 🤤 I ordered the dark chocolate "creme brulee" and was surprised that I really did not like it. I'm a dark chocolate fan but it was really bitter and not balanced with enough sweetness or salt or maybe both. I admitted my feelings to our excellent server when she asked and she immediately took care of it and offered me something else. I tried the tiramisu instead and it was delicious! The Buttercream and the Chantilly cream with the cocoa nibs were just wonderful. The "ladyfingers" were weirdly dense, like flat pancakes... but the cream was so good, we still really enjoyed it. We also tried the wilted arugula salad and the hamachi crudo which were both solid but not favorites. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We were treated so well and the food was overall very worth the price. We can't wait to come back!

Haley our server was amazing, busy as it was Valentine’s weekend but she was in top of it. Kitchen was on top of the food as well which was just impressive, as I know it was a long week/weekend for them all. One opportunity I would give is that when two people are sharing dishes please bring share plates and a serving utensil (like a spoon for your delicious pasta) automatically. I don’t think a guest should have to ask the food runner when every single coarse that is delivered for those items. Your food, drinks and service is some of the best in Tacoma! Thank you for a lovely evening. P.S. I am still thinking about that lamb ragu pasta with those incredible mushrooms and that lovely tiramisu!

For the last few years since Chef Dan left the kitchen, food quality has been inconsistent. Last night’s Valentine fare knocked it out of the park! Every course was perfect and Mac, our waitress was very accommodating and pleasant.
