Katie Downs Waterfront Tavern - Tacoma (WA)

3 /5 Matt Hew: Food was delicious! The halibut was really good, fish and chips and Cole slaw were delicious and the steelhead great was as well. We really enjoyed our food and would eat it again in a heart beat. However, I’m knocking two stars off because- some of the plates were dirty with food stuck on them, the floors were dirty as well. It also stunk of moth balls. The waitress was new (stated it was her first week) and didn’t know the menu which caused some disagreement and arguments between my party and her, it made for an awkward meal and everyone at the table. We finished our main meals and were given a check and she walked away; however, we had planned to get dessert and we were never asked if we wanted anything else. Again this may have been the new waitress not knowing- but that’s the responsibility of those training her.

5 /5 3dogs1monkey: Last few weeks I visited Tacoma and had a chance to eat here at this water front restaurant. The place is very nice, the foods are quite tasty. I was craving for patty melts since I haven’t had for a long time. My sister had a reuben sandwich which also very good. The appetizer calamari was excellent. The prices are reasonable for a nice restaurant with a view like this one. The server is attentive and fast. It’s close the pier where people are squid fishing which is nice to stroll after the meal. It’s lunch so we didn’t try the pizzas. The patty melts and reuben rye bread toasted perfectly. I really enjoyed them. The fries are great. Sometimes it’s nice to have lunch with a view and here in Tacoma, wonderful when it’s not raining.

5 /5 Dina Marie Loudenslager: A fantastic experience! This is a beautiful restaurant/upscale bar available. Atmosphere is A+! We sat on the deck and enjoyed lunch. We had Calamari App with Caesar, Cobb Salad and a bowl of Chowder. Excellent team service and we will visit again.

5 /5 Lauren Spanier: Love this place. Service is great! Mary is especially attentive and helpful, just wonderful! Food is delish-Great White pizza is my favorite! Highly recommend coming here! Happy hour, yes! Deck on a sunny day, yes!
