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.

    This is my wifes favorite date night spot as its quiet, romantic, intimate and the food is amazing. You really can't come here without getting the shrimp appetizer and the short rib ragu; they will literally change your life. The entire dining experience is worth every penny!

    Great food, slow service on a busy Friday night. They’ve packed a lot more tables in than the last time I was there and it was a little too cozy for comfort.

    Outstanding as usual. Thanks for another memorable visit with top notch service and exquisite food. The Jumbo Shrimp Pasta and Ribeye steak were cooked to perfection. This is a real gem of a restaurant tucked into Opera Alley.

    I loved everything about this restaurant. My fave of the the night was the crab bisque. They make everything from scratch including the pastas and bread. The chef/owner was very sociable and came out and asked about our experience which I thought was very lovely. If you ever want to have an intimate night or justa night with friends, check out Over the Moon cafe!

    Opentable needs to update the location of the restaurant. It cannot be that hard to fix.

    What a great find in Tacoma! The ambiance was dark and romantic. The bottle of wine we selected was tasty and adorable. We had an amazing RibEye steak dinner, cooked to perfection and the sides were just as delicious. Definitely recommend this quaint spot, can’t wait to try other dishes from here.
