- MMatthewSeattle / Eastern Washington •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe 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.More infoOver The Moon CafePrice: Expensive• American• Tacoma•4.8

- NNancyVIPLos Angeles •38 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe've been big fans of Roy Yamaguchi's restaurants for many years and were eager to try Woven. It lived up to our expectations. Four of us went for dinner, and everyone enjoyed everything. We started with drinks (pineapple martini and mai tai) which were delicious. Moving on to appetizers, we shared the Seafood Pillows and Crab Artichoke Dip. Outstanding! For entrees, we had the Misoyaki Glazed Black Cod, the Woven's Paella, and the Slow Cooked Short Rib. Presentation was beautiful, but that paled next to the flavors. We have very attentive service. The only downside for us seniors was the noise level. It is a bit too loud to hear comfortably, so if that's an issue for you, ask for seating accordingly. We highly recommend.!More infoWOVEN Seafood & Chophouse by Roy YamaguchiPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Tacoma•4.5
