C.I. ShenanigansAwesome birthday dinnerI had a wonderful dinner for my birthday. Service was exceptional. The copper river salmon was delicious & cooked perfectly. My husband had the halibut which was very good. For dessert, we had the chef's special which was the triple berry scone with blueberries, raspberries & blackberries. Excellent!! I also enjoyed the pear-bleu salad w/taragon dressing. We will definitely return.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AM8th anniversaryService, drinks, crab, salmon, and mud pie was very good.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious view and food!our party of four visited in the late afternoon on a 73 degree day and were seated waterside.

My husband liked the French onion soup.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMSunday BrunchAlways a pleasure having Sunday Brunch, Lunch or an evening dinner. On this visit our reservations were at 11:15 for Sunday Brunch. When our party arrived, we were greeted with a smile as we checked in with the front desk. We then proceeded with our hostess to the table, she introduced herself and had remembered us from our last visit. Our waiter was right on the spot, took our drink orders, so smooth and relaxing! Our waiter, I was impressed, he was there but wasn't, meaning you never saw him but water was always topped up, coffee was never empty, just a pleasure....GREAT JOB!! There was no rushing us, made sure we were having the best dining experience possible. GREAT PLACE!5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat seafoodFresh seafood, reasonable prices. The waitress was very at tentative will return5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice!In searching for a spot on the Tacoma waterfront to have a adult family birthday gathering I read lots of reviews (just like this) and based on them chose C.I. Shenanigans as the "best of the worst". The reviews for Katie Downs, The Ram, CIS, etc. were mostly scathing. But contrary to the reviews we found C.I. Shenanigans to be superb: great service, fabulous drinks, friendly staff, beautiful setting, and delicious food that was quite reasonably priced. It was a pleasure to dine there... and I told them so!5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMLove the view......Loved the view - didn't get the table we wanted - that section was closed or something..... but saw the water and it was great. Food was really lacking in so much - we ordered the Mixed Grill - overpriced and under seasoned..... very disappointing.5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMOld Ladies Birthday CelebrationWe had a good lunch, but our guest of honor was a little disappointed in her meal. The mahi-mahi portion was extremely small while those of us with salmon had a large portion. Also, we were seated at a booth that looked directly into the brightness outside and we were all forced to wear sunglasses. The hostess said she would close the blinds, but that would have defeated the whole point of being there!!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful brunchMy wife went here with some friends and just needed to return with our family for our daughters 4th birthday! I was floored at the quality of food selection laid out for the brunch buffet. Needless to say, we will be going back soon!4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMWe took our kids there forWe took our kids there for their anniversary on Sunday for the brunch...everything was so awesome I think you will have them back again soon. They even mentioned what a great place it would be to bring their guests that are coming from Texas in July. The food was great, we had a wonderful view of the bay and the staff was very attentive.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMGoodThe service, appetizer, and entrees were fantastic. The dessert was okay.

Otherwise a nice evening. Had asked for a window table. Was shown to another, but the hostess was kind enough to find a window table. Food was excellent and nicely presented.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMI made reservations for windowI made reservations for window or outdoor view but no tables were reserved, even though I made prior reservations for these areas I did not get what I requested.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMHad dinner with friends. ServiceHad dinner with friends. Service is excelent. Food tasted good. But I would say, do not order a bowl of the french onion soup. Although it is quite tasty, and the presentation was delighful, the amount of soup you are served comes out to about 4oz, maybe a bit less. I would rather fogo the elaporate rock salt, half onion bowl and fresh herbs for a plain bowl or about 12 oz of the very same soup. Food is to satisfy the palate and fill the stomach, not an art ahow for the eyes.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for birthdays!Our overall experience was excellent. I was able to make our reservation online and indicated that we were celebrating a birthday. I asked them to do whatever possible to make the celebration special and they did just that. They really made our birthday celebration one to remember with excellent seating and a birthday dessert. Where we were seated had a perfect view of the water and the servers were very hospitable.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMOnce again, another outstandingOnce again, another outstanding Sunday brunch at Shenanigans. I love this place! Great service, outstanding food and a spectacular view of the water.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went for the Sunday BrunchWe went for the Sunday Brunch as a special birthday outing. The food selection was great, fresh, and there is definitely something for everyone. There was a great view from the booth we were at. The price was pretty reasonable for the amount of food you can get, and the children's rate was even better. The brunch comes with unlimited coffee and juice which was a plus too. I would definitely recommend the Sunday Brunch, but make sure you make reservations.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AM
