this was our second time dining here and after the first time we had to come back again! our first time was in November of 2024 and we dined with Pualani, this time we were lucky enough to have her and (Janice? whom Pualani was training) as our server once again (: the food there is amazing and every single person is friendly and welcoming. the hostess was also extremely nice! when we saw Pualani we mentioned she had been our server before and she called her over so we could say hi and they moved us to her section (we ended up at the same table we had last time too!). this will definitely be a spot we visit whenever we take a trip back to washington.

I have two teens and it was their last day of school. As a way of saying thank you for the hard work prepping for end of year exams. My wife and I decided to take them to Woven. Low stakes celebration I know, however, in sharing this with our server and the team at Woven and they opted to celebrate with us regardless making the night quite special. Incredible service a fantastic meal and an absolutely beautiful venue. Highly recommended.

McMenamins did a great job of restoring and reviving the architectural gem that is the Tacoma Elks Temple and the adjacent Spanish Steps. Even though it's been quite a few years, it still feels fresh and satisfying. Each of the half dozen bars is unique and enjoyable. The food at the main dining room (The Pub) is not exactly "fine dining" but it is excellent quality and there is enough variety on the menu to satisfy everyone. And our service by Kelly was superb.

This was our fifth or sixth visit over the past couple years. Consistently delicious, wonderful service and the best atmosphere. In my opinion, this is probably the best all around restaurant in Tacoma. Just be sure and make reservations.

Our server was awesome! She helped us lock in happy hour menu items, which were tasty and well priced. We were celebrating a birthday and she somehow found a candle for our niece’s dessert! Fun family dinner and dancing.
