Small and romantic we specialize in celebrations with family and friends, or just a quiet dinner with good conversation. We are family owned and operated and have been serving our community since 2001.

Drive in to Opera Alley and be transported. We strive to bring approachable food and beverage, a sense of comfort and community, as well as a unique and quality dining experience. We call ourselves a "cafe" in the sense that we are not pretentious and offer a fine dining experience in an atmosphere of comfort and respite.

Parking in Opera Alley, and downtown, can be a bit of a challenge, especially on the weekends, so please be sure to give yourself plenty of time when making reservations to find a parking space, or consider a night off from driving and get an Uber or Lift!! Eat good food often, break bread with friends and family, spend time with those you love, and we will see you soon.

    This is my wife and my favorite restaurant in Tacoma. We try to do one date night here every six months. Tonight we had dinner with our daughter before a show. The food was fantastic as usual but the service was incredible. After a minor mistake with our order, we were more than compensated after an apology from the hostess and chef. Their service, atmosphere, food, and value make this place a gem in Tacoma. We will continue to be back!

    Beautiful small, elegant, comfortable restaurant. Love the wing back chairs. The food is outstanding. The clam appetizer had the best delectable butter wine sauce. The lasagna is to die for and the short rib ragu was made of dreams. 5 star on the food. The problem was service. Entres were slow coming out and the check was slow to be taken care of. They seemed under staffed. The server was very good although overwhelmed.

    A hand-wrote Happy Anniversary card and red rose on the table when we arrived made this an above and beyond anniversary reservation. Sabrina was wonderful. Completely un-surprising that this place is so popular. Definitely make a reservation.

    One of our favorite places for years. This visit, the food wasn't quite up to previous visits, but we'll give it another try. A cute, funky, and cozy place

    Perfection! Wonderful staff, impeccable service, food perfect, menu... great selections. Ownership has changed with seamless transition. You would never know it changed hands. New owners are delightful. This is our #1 choice for special places to go for dinner. We had the Ribeye and it was wonderful. The Crab Bisque is a must. The Wedge salad was Yum!!
