Northwest Food Spirits - Tacoma

My wife and I went for an anniversary dinner. Our table was in the bar area, which was fine. The New York steak with green pepper sauce was divine. I got it with the risotto instead of mashed potatoes. It came with asparagus. The halibut with lemon beurre blanc sauce was excellent. As was the risotto. Unfortunately, some of the carrots were overdone. The salmon mousse was very good. Next time we with get the brie in pastry appetizer. Cheesecake with ice cream and a sliced strawberry was an excellent way to end the menu.

Great eggs benedict and **** Mary. Super creative brunch foods like the lamb chops, grits, and egg. Perfect cappuccino. Nice ambience in the garden area. Friendly staff. Would definitely go back and try the dinner sometime.

We had a gift card to utilize for this place so we decided to try brunch. Great service and amazing food and drinks from start to finish. Melissa was amazing as our server and answered all the questions we asked of her in a polite manner. Luv this place and highly recommend it! Two thumbs up!!!

Our first visit and we shall return to try other menu items. We sat outdoors. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. We enjoyed brussels sprouts with ham and poached egg and the Nova Bagel. The setting and service were intimate and attentive. The bar area looked inviting and we'll look forward to trying a cocktail, one day soon.

This was our first visit to this Tacoma restaurant during our seven years in town. Four of us were here for dinner three of us local and my sister in law visiting from the northeastern U.S. Overall, it was a good experience, although not a winner with everyone. Service was a little too attentive, sometimes to the point of being overwhelming. Food was pleasing, but drinks somewhat disappointing. Maybe our server who was also our bartender was too distracted talking with new diners arriving after taking our drink order. We probably will give the staff another chance, but not when the same out of town family member is visiting.
