About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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.

    Our second visit and we will keep going back. This is a gem in Tacoma. So nice to have an establishment in the south sound that offers a superior dining experience.

    Over the Moon is a romantic, delicious place to celebrate special occasions. In our reservation, I mentioned we were celebrating a birthday and made a small but special request. Over the Moon staff happily obliged, and our table was thoughtfully decorated with roses and a birthday card. The dessert was even served with a birthday message. We were made to feel so special. The food was spectacular, and the ambience was perfect. I can't recommend it enough.

    Had a great visit for my wife’s birthday with friends. The food was outstanding (the ragú was our favorite, the risotto also tasty), and the service was wonderful. I loved the ambiance- cozy and nice - not pretentious. I’m also sensitive to noise , and the restaurant was quiet and calm which made for a lovely atmosphere to catch up and visit with friends. We will be back for future romantic and celebratory dinners.

    My husband and I were celebrating his birthday and had not been to Over The Moon Cafe previously. We can honestly say that our evening there was the absolute best! From the moment we walked into the cozy, romantic and bohemian chic atmosphere, we were entranced. From the warm greeting to the wonderful service our server, Charlotte, provided, it was an amazing evening. The food....oh the food! My husband had an appetizer of clams with sausage and he was absolutely drooling! I had a cup of crab bisque that was filled with scrumptious crab and the most delicate bisque radiating with flavor. Oh, and then the scallops over risotto for my husband and the lasagna with butternut squash instead of pasta for me. Both were just explosions of flavor! The ambiance of this tiny gem made the evening more special. Cozy seating and you are surrounded by the richness of days gone by and the music choice was just perfect all evening. We will go again for another special occasion and perhaps go again just because........it's that amazing!

    I've lived in the Tacoma area for over 40 years and have frequented restaurants all around the North and South Sound from inexpensive to insane. Over The Moon Cafe is without a doubt a top 5 experience. And to top it off, they have been extremely consistent over a long period of time. Hard to believe the best lasagna this foodie has ever eaten doesn't have any noodles in it!!! By the way, their prices are incredibly reasonable. The Chef came out twice to check on the diners during my dinner as well. Cannot recommend enough!!!
