Lived in Tacoma for 30 years before moving. I stay at the Silver Cloud when I come back. Wildfin has a great variety of fresh local food that changes seasonally. Great Happy Hour! I keep returning for the fish street tacos. Consistently fabulous! read more

Sat at the bar for happy hour. The service at the bar is quick and attentive. I tried their fish tacos which were great. Very flavorful. I would come back for them. read more

What a great place to go to. It's been my second time here and so far every single time it's been a great atmosphere with great food and drinks to be included. I met up with a group that I work with to head out to an escape room before this, and we all had a bunch of appetizers during happy hour and drinks as well They have patio seating, which is absolutely accommodating and really fun to sit out and watch all the kids playing in the water park. Sam was our server and we sat in the patio out by the bar. She did a phenomenal job checking in on us making sure all the food came out on time and was very accommodating with one of our members of our party who are gluten-free. Highly recommend this place as I will definitely be back again to have more food and drinks at this place. I highly recommend the smoked maple old-fashioned, which was phenomenal as the fish and chips were on happy hour and they were delicious, but of course it was small portion because it was happy hour. read more

Came here with the ladies to grab lunch. The hostess in the front was able to answer some food sensitivity questions which we took in stride and followed her into the restaurant to a dining table by the windows. The waitress introduced themselves and gave us water and answered all our other questions too. We all ordered some type of fish dish. The food all came hot and everything was delicious! Will definitely come back for more. read more

WildFin American Grill - Seasonal preparation for wild caught salmon - Seafood Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Wildfin is always a favorite choice. The Ruston Way location just like the Issaquah location can always be counted on for quality food. We had the copper river salmon as it is seasonal. I like my salmon well done and it was perfect. We also had the beef club sandwich. The service is always top tier. The ambiance cannot be beat, especially with the views of the water. read more

WildFin American Grill - Beef club - Seafood Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

my good friend and i went in for lunch on 8/7/2026. She ordered fish and chips which looked amazing . I ordered the poke bowl, i was expecting a bowl. A small serving came on a bed of rice, some fish, edamame and cress. I was very disappointed for $19.00. Overall the service was great, i would go back also i will ask about the foods more and be careful of what i ordered. That poke was a great size just not enough nutrition for me. read more

Good food. Prices acceptable. Service is commendable. Would recommend it to my friends.

Another amazing lunch; the new seasonal starter Corn Ribs were amazing. My wife loved her Parmesan Crusted Sole, and without a doubt the best Shrimp and Grits ANYWHERE, and believe me, i have had Shrimp and Grits all over the USA. Service was solid as always, and the ambiance and views are excellent. read more

Always a great experience & the food has always been wonderful. Today was a quick bite of fish & chips & appetizers to share. The fish & chips are always exceptional whether you order inside or outside at their walk up window to eat outside on a beautiful day. Light breading with great seasoning for the batter & fries. Also enjoyed the the Wildfin Appetizer Tower which did not disappoint while enjoying a refreshing Blackberry Basil Lemonade. The inside is clean, modern, fresh & comfortable. The staff is always on point so I would definitely recommend when you're enjoying the Point Ruston area. read more

Service was extraordinary. If you go, ask to be seated in Michael's section. Not only knowledgeable about the menu, personable and friendly. Very attentive. Excellent food also: sockeye salmon, Mac & Cheese, shrimp with angel hair pasta. read more

This really should be a 2.5 star review- the only thing that saved the day was an attentive waiter. We chose this restaurant as family members had eaten at a WildFin in Vancouver and swore by it. They indicated it was not a faction as good as the Vancouver location. Steaks were at the top end of the price range and none of the 3 ordered were cooked properly. The creamed spinach was burned on top. They did provide carrots and celery to snack on- but had to request and pay for bread. Steaks for 3 with an appetizer and bread was almost $300. Honestly I have paid $150 for a better quality version of this meal elsewhere. "MIGHT" try the Vancouver location... but doubtful. read more

Food was pretty good, waiter was kind and friendly and the atmosphere was a little noisy but we had a baby with us and she was happy

I love walking here from home for the blackberry jalapeño margarita and cheesy grits. They prepare the grits really well and it's some of the best grits I've tasted. The side is only $3.99 so can't beat the price. That along with an outdoor seating overlooking the water makes for a perfect evening. read more

Came here on a whim because the party I was with wanted to eat here for lunch. Before you had to get parking validated, but now Ruston has announced that parking is free. So that's a nice change. When the weather is nice, I'd recommend sitting outside if its open. But one word of caution, if you're looking for a quiet meal, the restaurant is right above where the playground for the kids are and the Wheels Fun Rental station is, so lots of traffic and noise. So better to sit inside and just ask for a table with a view if available. We got sat at the last table outside towards the mountain on the left. But one thing to keep in mind, the seats aren't very comfortable and metal. So bring a sweater or something to put under your bum or its gonna be hurting. Lolll. Just keeping it real. Okay so for the food. We got the Wildfin Appetizer Platter that is presented on a tower, but we take if off and set the plates down coz its easier to share this way. But it comes with garlic prawns that have artichokes and tomatoes and toasted bread chunks kinda like croutons but not, calamari comes with some deep fried jalapeños (at least I think its jalapeños) and crispy rice spicy ahi has sesame seeds with avocado topped with a fresh sliced jalapeño and radish sprouts aka Kaiware sprouts. (Their menu doesn't give any details on what exactly is included, so if you have allergies, may be an issue if you forget to ask.) We also ordered a lunch specials with was the French dip and upgraded for an extra $1 to the French onion soup. This was decent. Like 4/5. The other item was the Northwest Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo which has a few different fish and prawns with some spinach, roasted red peppers and mushrooms and a whole Lotta grated cheese on top. I'd give this a 3/5. It's kinda bland and not saucy like most fettuccine. I feel the food was better back in the day and they used to have my favorite mixed grill. But they got rid of that too. I'd say, if its your first time to start with their happy hour first (of course if you're of age) , but the happy hour is only in the bar. And the area is not that big. Theres like the actual bar seating itself, then like a larger communal table yhat sits high and then a few tables that sit low if memory serves me correct. But you always ask the staff where you need to sit for Happy Hour. read more

First off the location is beautiful located right on the Sound in Ruston! It's gorgeous on the inside and has outside seating with umbrellas. The service was spectacular. Let's not forget the amazing food as well. My friend got the three Tacos and she chose the pork belly, fish, and pulled pork. They were all so yummy! I got the seafood tower that we split as well. It came with calamari, shrimp with artichokes in a garlic cream sauce, and ahi tuna on sticky rice. All of it was played well and tasted fresh. This is my second time here and it never disappoints! read more

This is a beautiful Point Ruston location. We had a table outside with great views of the sound and Mt. Ranier. Service was stellar and the food was excellent. Wait time was about 30 minutes ( we didn't make a reservation), but plenty to enjoy outside while we waited. read more

We had such a great dining experience. I will say that the staff from the manager to the hostess are incredibly accommodating. Stopping to answer questions, provide suggestions and checking to see how our meals were. I got the shrimp and grits and surprised with how delicious it was. Great flavors and plenty of shrimp. My Fiancé got the seafood fettuccine and it was equally delicious. I'll go back just for the shrimp and grits. read more

This is really a 3.75 review. Ambiance was great. We could see the water and experience this wonderful restaurant. We never been to this location before having visited the Renton a ton of times before it closed down. Service was great. Our server was attentive, prompt and considerate. Even though the restaurant was somewhat busy, we were seated quickly. Food. Well, I'm a little challenged because the calamari was delicious. My husband's steak and vegetables were delicious, but I ordered the special which was Cajun seared salmon over succotash, green beans and potatoes.. none of it was good, unfortunately. The server tried to compensate by giving me a different side, but the salmon was just too dry. I know sometimes this can be an issue with blackening fish just was not good. I was definitely visit this restaurant again. But I will stay away from the blackened salmon. read more

I think this place is overrated. The food is overpriced for what they offer. The food isn't BAD just overpriced. And don't misunderstand. I am willing to pay good money for good food but it does need to balance. The seafood chowder was super salty and everything else was just okay. The atmosphere is decent. The service was the best part. Our server was incredibly kind and patient and attentive. There is a paid lot for parking. read more

Four years later and I'm back with a five star update! It's Tacoma Restaurant Week (kicked off March 30th) and WildFin had a pretty standout lunch menu. For $35 you're able to pick from a fixed menu and you're able to pick an entree and either an appetizer OR a dessert. We were smart and I ordered an app with my entree, and my fiance got dessert so that we could split a good amount of items. We got a great table with awesome views of the water and Mount Rainier on a beautiful spring day, so that already set the vibe. Our server, Andrew, was SO nice and personable. He made sure to consistently check up on us and was overall so kind even though we were THOSE people with the crazy toddler wreaking havoc on everyone (my bad, y'all). For my appetizer I went with the ahi crispy rice. Beautiful presented and a very generous portion, easily shareable with plenty for each of us. The rice was a little crispier than I would've liked, but the rice was perfect on the inside. I'm partial to spicy tuna so I definitely was hoping for it to be a little spicier than it was, but the flavor was good and tasted super fresh. For the entree, I went with the Simply Grilled Salmon. So delicious! Cooked absolutely perfect. It's served on top of broccolini, tomatoes, and these AMAZING herb marble potatoes. The sauce for the vegetables is also insanely good. For my fiance, he decided to try the Pork Banh Mi (which we were both surprised to see on the menu here). It was served with an ALARMING amount of cilantro on top... Like... An entire full bushel of cilantro LOL we pulled off a good deal of it. Even as cilantro lovers it was excessive. Not a complaint, just an observation! My fiance was happy with his choice as well and said it was good. Last dish was dessert - we went with the Butterscotch Creme Brulee which was INSAAANE. We almost went with the Coconut Cream Pie but I'm glad we didn't because this was soooo good. Get it and thank me later. It's also a very generous portion and was easily shared between myself, my fiance, and our toddler. Really glad that we decided to give this TRW menu a try and that it gave us an excuse to visit WildFin again. There's still plenty of time to try their Tacoma Restaurant Week lunch or dinner, so don't sleep on it! read more

WildFin American Grill was such an experience! I ordered the simply grilled seasonal salmon paired with a margarita, and it hit the spot. The seafood tasted incredibly fresh--definitely felt like the catch of the day. I started with the calamari appetizer, which was delicious with the aioli and jalapeño--just the right amount of heat. If I had to nitpick, I'd say a little more seasoning and a slightly longer fry time would've taken it to the next level. What really stood out was the ambiance. I loved the spacious outdoor patio and the indoor/outdoor bar setup--it gives you the best of both worlds. There are TVs at the bar too, which was perfect for catching the basketball or baseball game while enjoying drinks and good vibes. They also have a happy hour menu, which is always a plus--great deals and a solid selection to choose from. It's an upscale spot right across from the open waterfront, and the views are chef's kiss. The bar service was top-tier--friendly, attentive, and fast. Bonus: you're surrounded by great shopping options, so it's a perfect place to unwind after browsing the nearby stores. Definitely worth a visit, especially for seafood lovers, sports fans, and anyone looking for a laid-back but classy dining experience! read more

I don't recommend eating here for multiple reasons. First we ordered coffee and it was cold. Unfortunately, The restaurant was absolutely freezing on a blistering day. The food that we ordered took an even worse term. The broccoli was ice cold when it was served to us upon first bite we had to send that back immediately. The fillet mignon was so poorly flavored with no salt or anything most of the entire meal was just horrible. In addition once we complained to the manager, they attempted to remake the broccolini. It came back overcooked and horribly seasoned the excuse that was given was that there was somebody learning and in training, however they have an open kitchen and we were able to watch what was going on. It seemed like it was more of a play day happening where the cooks were watching football and hanging out while ruining over $100 meal. read more

We were very disappointed with our experience. We chose this restaurant to celebrate a 50th anniversary, which made the poor service even more frustrating. Every Christmas we purchase gift cards here for family and friends, but after this visit, we're seriously reconsidering that tradition. To be fair, the wait for a table was long, but we were informed of that upfront. The hosts were polite, professional, and kept us updated on our table status, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, once we were seated, the service declined dramatically. Because of the wait, we were ready to order as soon as our server took our drink order. After that, she was rarely seen. We had two appetizers that never arrived, and no one checked on us. When I asked another server, she said they should be coming--but they never did. I Our entrees were eventually served, but one person in our party had ordered a soup and salad, and the soup never arrived. More than 35 minutes after our meals were delivered, our server finally returned. At that point, we asked her to cancel the missing appetizers and soup because we had already finished eating. To make matters worse, three empty soft drink glasses sat at the end of the table for over 35 minutes, and only one was ever refilled. My steak was also disappointing. It had three large cuts in it, which I assume were made to check the temperature. I've never been served a steak presented that way, and honestly, it looked worse than something I would prepare at home. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially for such an important family celebration. We left feeling ignored and frustrated. We have been loyal customers for years, but this visit has us seriously questioning whether we'll continue buying gift cards here for family and friends during the holidays. Seated around 7:10pm, 8/2 with Lenai read more

We were walking the waterfront and wanted a quick bite for lunch so we decided to try WildFin. For starters we had the oysters, corn ribs and baked brie. For our mains we had the seared ahi salad and the ribeye sandwich. Everything tasted great! The restaurant has a pretty awesome vibe to it, especially with the summer weather. Our server was great too, very friendly. read more

We go to Wildfin about twice a year. One big attraction is that around Christmas, they sell gift cards with a 20% premium. For us it is a 50 minute drive from home but they had a great Valentine's Day special, $154.95 for an appetizer to share, 2 NW seasonal salads, Lobster and tenderloin surf and turf and a desert to share. We shared the garlic prawns and artichokes with a delicious sauce. We wished we had some bread to soak up the rest of the sauce but, unlike other premium restaurants, they charge $8.95 for their fresh baked bread loaf and we don't need the extra calories. The bread is very good but we avoid it. The seasonal salads were very good and big enough for 2 if it had not been for the special. The entree was a winner. The 6oz lobster tail was split in half so it was easy to remove from the shell and it had a delicious lemon herb garlic butter and béarnaise sauce accompanying it. The Grilled 28-day aged filet mignon with tallow butter & bordelaise was cooked rare as we requested it and was tender and delicious. It was bigger than expected. This was all topped of with Kalua pie for desert, more than enough for 2. The only downside for this place is that their wine by the glass is expensive compared to other places. Parking is now free and you no longer have to get a parking validation. read more

We chose the perfect place for the seven of us to meet with family members after a 10 year hiatus. The server was very accommodating as we strangled in. This restaurant has the perfect location on the Columbia with outside tables on a sunny day. The starters of calamari and shrimp received kudos as did the seafood chower and entrees of tacos, sole and all of the others. The service was exceptional throughout the meal. read more

The restaurant comes with a great view, which is always a plus when dining! Located at Point Ruston. We dined here for lunch after walking around the area! Over looking the water and depending on where they seat you, you can see Mount Rainer! It's gorgeous here in the summer time! With lots of people watching if you enjoy that! Food was fast and mediocre, so we'll definitely be back when we're in the area. Staffs are friendly as well. Pricing is reasonable depending on your order, but for the most part, affordable. They have a generous indoor seating and limited outdoor patio for those who prefer to be outside! GOODLUCK! read more

We always enjoy Wildfin. The food is great as is the service. There can be a wait at times but it is worth it.

35 minutes to be seated, although there were empty booths, a center long table empty in the bar, and wide open patio seating (we asked for 1st availability in ANY area). The waitress asked if we needed a minute, we said, "No, we are ready to order we had already reviewed the menu while we waited" her response was "Okay, I'll come back" then walked away. She took the order from the table next to us because (in her words) the children were hungry... SO ARE WE! Undercooked shrimp , Rubbery Calamari. Burnt Bread. Lukewarm Chowder. Pork was also burnt and hard to chew in my Bahmi. For the $118 we paid for "lunch," we should have gone to Dukes. When asked if we wanted to go box, my response to her was I'd rather speak to the manager about the food. She never came back. Neither will we. read more

Came for my girlfriends bday, made a reservation through open table for 4. On open table they ask if there is a special occasion and/or any requests, I said it was my gfs bday and that I would like to sit near the window to see the sound. When we arrived they said they could not accommodate the window seat which is fine and they did not acknowledge our occasion. No biggies, maybe they don't do that there. Our service was wonderful and my apologies that i do not remember the waitresses name but she was an older white lady. Super funny and personable. I think it started with a K. The food was good... but all 4 dishes were spicy. I don't know if this was because my girlfriends son wanted his dish extra spicy or what but all 4 dishes were spicy. Overall we had a good bday dinner but I think it could've been a little bit better for the price. read more

The food was really good. I had the fish and chips the wife had the seafood pasta sorry no pic but she said it was delicious and even brought some home. The bread with two kinds of butter really hit the spot while waiting for our food. Our server Andrew was great. Very attentive and polite. I really like the entire feel of the restaurant especially since pretty much every seat has a view of the water. I only wish the fish size was bigger. A little pricey for three small pieces, fries and slaw. Would've been five stars if the fillets were larger. read more
