Food & service perfect. Table setting noise level perfect. We had a middle room table would have preferred a table along window or wall yet environment cozy. I suggest requesting s or dining in bar. Out door seating looked nice can’t wait for that seating to open.

I love this place! My only issue is the cost. I'm a small eater yet love the selection of different meats. At $60 a plate, I only frequent once a year!

Wonderful meal! From the ambience and decorations to the food, all four of us (from age 8 to 83) had a great experience. High points were the spring rolls, empanadas, drunken noodles and orange chicken…finished off with some outstanding chocolate cake and gelato. Will definitely be back to try more dishes.

This was my first experience at a McMenamins property and we found it to be lots of fun! The Tacoma property is at the old Elks We explored all seven floors, five of which featured different bar/restaurants! All under one roof. We are in the main dining room, and then went down to the Old Hangout for after dinner drinks. We loved the artwork on every floor the unique chandeliers, and the eclectic atmosphere!
