Best Hall Of Fame Restaurant

-Voted Best Advocate for Food 2009 Tacoma Weekly Volcano "Consistency and a peak level of culinary excellence are the hallmarks of this restaurant owned by Chef Charlie McManus and Jacqueline Plattner. They invented creative dining in Tacoma. The interior blends modern with Old World, even ancient, influences that welcome shorts or an Armani suit. The Mediterranean meets Northwest menu features appetizers such as local mussels (sometimes wood-fired as a special!), goat cheese stuffed paquilla peppers, top-notch wood-fired pizza that you can watch from the chef's line, and entrées such as saffron seafood risotto and grilled flat iron steak with a horseradish aioli. But try to leave room for the rich rum tiramisu - yum! Even if you order just the spaghetti Bolognese and a Sidecar, your palate will be wowed." - JDP Weekly Volcano
