We had reservations and high expectations, but everything was honestly just "okay". Just "okay" for the price point isn't worth it and the food was not memorable. The interior and view is....and I am willing to try a weekend brunch service to see if that is better food. Lots of great options in (and coming) to Tacoma. Average is okay for a drink in the bar, but not for a night out with everyone ordering entrees. read more

I've lived in Tacoma for awhile and have passed by this restaurant a lot thinking it was a typical hotel lounge. I tried it for lunch and the meatballs with polenta were so delicious. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were welcoming and pleasant. I would definitely come back here again for some Italian food as it's tough to find good Italian food in this area. read more

I don't understand the 1 or 2 stars for this restaurant. This place is legit good! Wow! Let's start with the view. You can't beat it. The building wall is floor to ceiling glass so you have views of the ocean and Mt. Rainer. With a view this good, you wonder how good the food would be. As it turned it, the food is amazingly delicious. The charcuterie board looks and tastes good. But I'm really impressed with their halibut and ribeye steak. I think it's an Italian restaurant so they always reduced it with bringers or something. I like my steak simple, but in this case, it was excellent. The quality of meat is very high and the way they cooked it was simply perfect. The marbling enhanced the taste, but the burnt fat added do much for flavor with each bite. Oh, the arugula salad was delicious. There were so many fresh fruits in there. Yummy. The desserts were excellent as well. The service here was excellent. I only have high praises for this restaurant. There's green light options if you follow the Thinsulin Program. I highly recommend this place and I would definitely come back! read more

Disappointed by the change of menu. Was expecting octopus, mentioned on the online menu. Server stated the menu had just changed. Was celebrating a special anniversary. I could get what I had to settle for anywhere, including Olive Garden, paying less. View was the only thing worth my time. Have gone to restaurants before where cook or manager asked us re. our satisfaction with new menu. read more

My friends and I had planned a dinner here for a little get together. Valet, restaurant, and views were great until we received our food. Now, I have been to their brunch before and I will return for that, just not their dinner. It was bland and flavors just did not pair well on our entrees. Mind you, we were a group of 5 and we each got different entrees. Only thing up to par was probably the Avocado and Beet salad & also the house whipped Ricotta! Sorry, our entrees were nothing to remember so I couldn't even tell you the names of them. Service was so/so we had a switch in between and our checks got mixed up. read more

Great spot! Sat at a table near the fire pit on the patio with a group of 5. Everyone enjoyed the food. My burger was cooked perfectly. The espresso martini was a hit. Service was on point. Would go again when in town. read more

We came here for a girls' brunch at 10 am, but found out they don't serve brunch until 11 am. It wasn't a big deal. We all ordered breakfast; the food was delicious, the service was great, and the view was spectacular. If you dine here, valet is free! Don't pay to park! read more

This location was great! The view is awesome!!! Service was great, but most importantly the food was yummy. The pancakes were perfect!!!

I usually go there and have the spaghetti dinner, but this time I decided to share the plant with my wife and when they brought it out, I noticed that the spaghetti was very small portions which I was kind of shocked and informed them that this was unacceptable course they didn't like that, but I took a picture The food's OK nothing too feel great about it. read more

It was our first time here tonight and we really enjoyed it. Our booth had a wonderful view and it was quiet back there. The front of the restaurant was loud and lively. We started with the focaccia and fresh mozzarella. It was delish! I had the halibut with risotto for my entree. It was the special and it was amazing. Cooked to perfection. My BF got a ribeye with fingerling potatoes. Also delicious. Then we shared the sticky toffee dessert. Really good as well. Oh, my BF also had a drink called the Blazing Melon that he loved as well. I had an NA beer that was good too. The overall vibe here was great. Our server was wonderful too. Free valet parking. I'd give it 4.5 stars. read more

Great view, so-so menu My husband and I stayed at the hotel for a weekend getaway and we decided to try this restaurant, For appetizers we ordered the Caesar salad and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. My husband ordered the Ember Hog Old Fashioned and the Seafood Buccatini. I ordered the Lavender 76 and the Chicken Milanese. Our total was $147 before tip. It was very loud in the restaurant, the bar is in the middle of the restaurant and the kitchen is not separated so it can get very noisy. Service was a bit slow but they were busy, and our drinks came right before our entrees even though we ordered them first. My husband also ordered his drink without smoke, but it came with smoke. The Caesar salad was just ok. My husband enjoyed his pasta, but it is a very messy dish. The polenta was gooey and cold. This restaurant has the potential to be very romantic, and the water view was amazing. The host was friendly and our server was very kind when he was helping us. The whole staff was excellent. We are very big fans of Brussels sprouts and these ones were DELICIOUS! My drink was very delicious (though I could not detect any lavender flavor) The chicken, kale and tomatoes on my dish were bursting with flavor. My husband seafood pasta was a generous portion and filled with tons of seafood. Overall, we enjoyed our time, but expected more for the price point. The food definitely needs some improvement, because the staff is awesome! read more

I came for lunch and was blown away by the Foccacia Appetizer and Kale Salad!! The salad was enough to share as well as the Foccacia. What a beautiful and elegant place to share a few plates with friends! I love that the Foccacia came with fresh mozzarella it took it to the next level. Prices were fair for the portions served thank you! read more

Awesome view, great service, valet parking, and flavor-packed food -- great dining experience

A very nice venue with a beautiful view. Valet parking that's free with validation in the restaurant which is nice. We had a reservation, were seated right away at a table right by the window. I had gotten an email this morning that their cook top wasn't working so there would be no pancakes or french toast on the brunch menu. While I appreciated the notification, we thought that with all those items gone, which are half the menu, that they'd offer more lunch items. They didn't and the selection was pretty limited. I ordered scrambled eggs, asked for them scrambled well because I don't like runny eggs, they were not. The bacon was under cooked. My friend ordered eggs benedict which she said obviously had been sitting on the pick up window too long and were just luke warm. We would have sent both back but didn't see the server to do just that. We might go back and try lunch just to see if this was a one-off and they are actually better but thinking this might be a better happy hour place than a full meal place. read more

I enjoy coming here for a nice meal. You don't have to make reservations but I always do just in case. This is my third time visiting and I've had the lamb chops twice. The sweet potato and jicama combo is powerful in the flavor department. It's a good portion but I always choose the oysters as well. The sauce is also a great addition. I'd say come here if you're looking to shake things up a bit. Even though we had a reservation, because we were a party of two we were sat at what I would consider one of the worst tables in the spot. Center, traffic on all sides of you, and closely put to the next table. If you do go at a busy time, understand the servers may have several tables and be patient. read more

Had reservations for brunch on a weekend morning. The hostess was...well, that was not a good experience for me as I found the hostess downright rude and dismissive. All of that negativity was eclipsed by our server. She was lovely and warm, quick to notify us that food would take longer than usual due to a large wedding party also having brunch that am. Our food came out quite quickly, all things considered, and throughout our time there our server checked in on us frequently and made sure we had all that we needed. The food was pretty tasty as well, and the view of the water/people watching made for an overall good experience. read more

During a staycation we ate here twice. The first time was for dessert and it was heaven! We got both the chocolate peanut butter and lemon desserts and I almost couldn't decide which I liked better. Jk, it was the chocolate. Only by the thinnest margin though. We also had brunch the next morning which was good as well. I had the French toast and my husband had the biscuits and gravy. We both liked our dishes very much but I would not order the breakfast potatoes again. They were not so good. Staff was great and the restaurant had a nice ambiance! read more

Fantastic ambience. Cool modern decor. Nice flat screen TVs for those who'd rather watch sports than the gorgeous seascapes. We were there for the weekend brunch. Good food although we both just had the Avocado Toast with arugula. It was delicious. You can add eggs for an extra $3. Great service. Coffee was substandard. They can do better here for sure. Shout out to the valets. Very polite. Offered to bring up my car which we declined. Refused my offer to send them a tip via Venmo (as who carries cash these days). Restaurant diners receive complementary valet parking. I'd definitely come back! read more

I came here to meet someone and we had a reservation. We were seated within seconds of arriving. The waiter that was serving us was very respectful and checked in a couple of times prior to seating us down. I had ordered Spaghetti Pomodoro which was tomato and delicious. They had options for vegans too. The Calamari was average. The location was within the hotel and was very festive for the holiday. The Rustin Point water view and small boutiques near by were adorable. Reasons for Rating: +1 Excellent location and parking +0.5 Food taste really good +1 Customer service +1 Interior/atmosphere +1 Would return/recommend others read more

Came here for brunch on Saturday - got reservations via Opentable (group of 3 adults, 1 kid, and 1 baby in a high chair - open table allows reservations of up to 4). We were seated at the window and had no issue getting baby a seat between 2 chairs (also would've had space for a kiddo at the end of the table without blocking the walkway). Great hostess helped us get our valet parking validated before we were seated and made sure to get the kiddos supplied with crayons and a paper to color on. Food was a little bit of a letdown for brunch - we had checked out the menu before and called ahead to see what the kids menu would be, but unfortunately the person did not quote us the kids brunch menu so we made it work with some cereal (kids preference - the options were Cinnamon Toast Crunch, fruit loops, and plain cherrios) and mixed berries. I ordered a meatball sandwich (on focaccia with shoestring fries), my husband ordered the Kobe burger, and the birthday MIL ordered a meatball sandwich. Baby shared meatballs (ate most of my sandwich filling) and some berries and fries. It was ok, but we thought their other menu (dinner) would've been more appealing for the birthday. Great views, good service, and easy spot. Made it outside to the play area with the kids for a few minutes before food came! Loved our table spot and the 7year old wants to stay at Silver Cloud Hotel sometime too! read more

Amazing view, great team of servers and food is amazing! Highly recommend! Had the gnocchi and an old fashion! Did not disappoint!

I came here solely based on location. I had tickets to Zoo Lights and thought hey, they're close! I should eat dinner here before going to Zoo Lights! I am very glad I did! When we arrived my friend and I were immediately greeted and seated along the window. It was a very pretty view! Our waitress, Sabrina, was incredible. She made me feel welcomed and at ease. She gave great recommendations on food and cocktails. She had perfect timing and seemed to anticipate what we needed before we voiced requests. Sabrina was great! The food was incredible! I opted for the lumache bolognese - it was hearty, rich, savory, meaty deliciousity. It was a large portion - enough for leftovers to make a full meal the next day. I loved it. The drinks were incredible as well! I especially loved Dune because it was sweet without being too sweet, wasn't overly acidic, and was just very easy to drink! I had a glorious time here, so much so I believe I will try in the near future to go back! read more

After staying the night at Silver Cloud, we decided to come on down for brunch at Copper and Salt. Bonus - they do brunch seven days a week! And of course, you're able to come dine here without being a hotel guest. The obvious wow factor is the view from the restaurant. Sweeping views of Commencement Bay can't be beat, and it's great being able to sit out on their patio during the warmer months. That's what we did, and we absolutely loved the vibe! We started off with a couple mimosas (duh) and I can promise they have a solid juice to champagne ration. Meaning, more champagne and less juice. Just the way mimosas are meant to be made. The brunch menu has a solid variety, but not so many options that I was overwhelmed. I was stuck between the pork belly hash and the biscuits & gravy, but the biscuits & gravy ultimately ended up winning. The gravy was really good, but I think it was a bacon gravy so it tasted a littttle bit too salty for my liking. That said, it was still good - just hard to eat a lot of it. When it came time to get the check, we heard our waitress mess up the table's check next to us... Sure enough, she also swiped our card for the wrong table as well. She seemed as if she could be new, and accidents do happen, so I wasn't mad, just a little irritated. The correct amount was withdrawn from my account a day or two later and I was refunded for the other table. We still intend on giving Copper and Salt another chance and returning for dinner. Their pasta looks fantastic and I wouldn't mind being able to catch the sunset from this spot! read more

Me and my dad and uncles went for my grandmothers birthday because they allegedly had stuff for all of us (dad is vegan and I have a limited number of foods I eat due to autism). I ordered, or tried to order chicken tenders. Just to flat out be told "no" by the waitress. This has never EVER been a problem for me but we had to pull the autism card just for me to get my damn chicken tenders. And to top it all off, I ended up puking those up a few hours later and a very uncomfortable drive home. only reason I'm not giving this a one star is because it was in a nice location looking out over the water with a nice view. don't come here if you want accommodating staff for your dietary restrictions read more

This establishment is located in the Silver Cloud Hotel. The two star experience is based on our take-out order as I don't have any experience dining in. First and foremost, I get it. It's take out BUT come on. My husband and I were hotel guests at the Silver Cloud. We ordered take-out at their restaurant because the hotel didn't have any room service. The dishes were overpriced for what they were. We ordered the skirt steak ($36) - my husband actually laughed (and yelled out "are you serious?") when he opened this specific dish. Shameful presentation as it looked and tasted burnt. The salad that came with it was very small. You will leave feeling hungry if you order this dish. As for my order, I got the halibut with risotto ($37). It was filling, however, it's not a dish I would order again. We also ordered the sticky toffee pudding ($7) for dessert. This was absolutely delicious and was the star of the show. With that being said, my husband ordered and picked up the food and while he was waiting for the order, he sat in at the bar. Kudos to Jake and Ryan as he mentioned that they were great. read more

First, know that they do NOT validate parking. They offer complimentary valet but they do not disclose that. So, hopefully we didn't get a parking ticket. The restaurant itself was nice and like all the restaurants along Ruston had great views. Our server wasn't the most knowledgeable when asked what certain things on the menu were. She was nice and the busser was on top of it. The food itself was okay. It wasn't bad, but nothing spectacular. We got the speck appetizer and I had the pomodoro pasta. With so many other options in the area and throughout Tacoma, I don't foresee us coming back to this one. It's not bad or good, just mediocre. read more

The food was INCREDIBLE, EVERY SINGLE MEAL! And the views are amazing. The only reason for not 5 stars was the service. The server brought the wrong drinks twice and when we had lunch at the bar, there was a bartender that shared some super inappropriate and traumatic information about his time in the military, trying to create casual conversation with us in our romantic date (very strange). But overall, really great! We had our anniversary dinner here and it was beautiful! Brunch was definitely my favorite meal! That raspberry croissant was out of this world! I literally dream about it! read more

Came here for dinner last night. The only downside of coming here at night is that you don't get to appreciate the view! I think it would be more worth it to come in the day time to admire the waterfront while you're eating. They have a very limited menu, mostly pasta entrees. The scallion fritters and the salmon were the stand out dishes of the night. All the food was good, but nothing to really rave about since the pasta entrees were pretty basic. Overall expensive but they have a good atmosphere and service. I would just come for brunch next time. read more

My first time here and was excited by the menu I saw on Google. Let me preface this by saying that the Google menu is nowhere close to the menu that's actually at Copper and Salt. Lesson learned. Don't go getting your hopes up by looking at a Google menu and be ready to order things when three out of three aren't on the actual menu. I ordered the beet and avocado salad with the Tuscan kale. The salad was 80% kale and 20% orange, avocado, goat cheese and beets. It was A LOT getting through all that kale with not many of the other stars to support it. And why cut everything so small when you have a sea of kale? For dinner ordered the calamari, shrimp and Italian sausage served with bucatini. I could discern the rings of calamari, but when it came to the legs, they all measured about a half an inch and were very hard to find. The shrimp were nice except please, take the tails off because even though you might like the presentation, I struggled with getting them off without taking part of the shrimp with it and having no place to put the shells. The sausage was cut up in quarters and quite frankly looked like something from a grocery store. I think it would have been much nicer to have it in a rougher state as I'm thinking that the sausage is homemade? Also, being a much lighter sauce, it doesn't support having bucatini as a pasta. It would have been much better with an angel hair because quite frankly, there's not a lot of sauce to be soaked up through the holes of the bucatini. Lastly, I think it was probably 60 something degrees in the dining room. Pretty chilly although I would err on the side of that versus having it too warm. Love the ambiance. Back to the menu, I was told the chef was in the middle of changing the menu, but I would hope it would have been more in sync with the menu on Google. I get it that Google's not always the most accurate but still... Sorry I usually have pics to support my reviews. The bucatini presentation was beautiful, the sea of kale salad, not so much. I wouldn't run to go here for dinner and I'm not seeing any management replies to reviews here. That's a little concerning. read more

This is a lovely place to meet for Sunday breakfast or brunch. The view is spectacular! The food so yummy.

Slow service, kind of weird food with ingredients that don't mesh that well. Expensive. Great view.

Our brunch at Copper and Salt NW Kitchen was excellent in every way. All 6 of us raved about our meals (Salmon Benedict, regular Ham Benedict, pancakes and extras). We intend to return as soon as possible. The water view of Commencement Bay was beautiful on the sunny day we were there (can't guarantee the sunny day). Service was excellent, they even seated us early to wait for the rest of our party. I enthusiastically recommend Copper and Salt. read more
