- BBobSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoEveryone we encountered were very friendly, and well trained. The menu was clearly explained, and we were even given some suggestions on how to best enjoy one of the appetizers. We started with the lumpia, and a half dozen oysters. The lumpia was out of this world when wrapped with the lettuce and herbs and the house pickled carrots and daikon. The mango sweet and sour dipping sauce took it to a whole other level. Of the three sauces the oysters were served with, the house cocktail made with fresh wasabi was an amazing twist on a classic. I had the 16oz ribeye, and my wife had the cedar plank salmon, and both were perfectly prepared. The wait for our mains was a little long, but we were there for our wedding anniversary, so we were out to enjoy each other’s company anyway. We also realize that they haven’t been open all that long, so the kitchen is probably still finding its stride. You can definitely tell that everything is scratch made, and prepared when ordered. We’ll definitely be back.More infoWOVEN Seafood & Chophouse by Roy YamaguchiPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Tacoma•4.3
- AAmySeattle / Eastern Washington •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIf I could give this more stars, I would. I was in town for business and was meeting a client for dinner. Being from out of town I wasn't familiar with this location. I can absolutely see why it's popular. From the moment we walked in the door, everything was perfect. Our host was prompt and kind, our server was PERFECTLY attentive, the food was delicious (get the dingy of chowder its adorable) ... then the waterfront... wow! as the evening progressed, they instinctively turned on the heaters. Business or pleasure you won't be disappointed. My only regret is not living closer!More infoDuke's Seafood - TacomaPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Tacoma•4.8
- MMSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews4.0Dined on Sep 1, 2024Nice spot and great idea with small plates and tapas. Good wine options and food. Only reason I don’t give it more stars, was the flavor profile was more Moroccan than Spanish. Not bad just not what I was in the mood for. I’d recommend it for a something different evening out.More infoAmor Wine + TapasPrice: Moderate• Tapas / Small Plates• Tacoma•4.5
