Best Live Music Restaurants in Tacoma

We finally made it here after years of walking by the door! The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside. Beautiful decor, great service, live music, and fantastic menu. We got lucky and were seated in the back room with a view!

Atmosphere: Perfect: great ambience, nice/large round table in the back corner with dim lighting; extremely clean (not a hint of cigarette smoke in the elevator or restaurant). Presented very classy. Service: Hostess was excellent (welcoming, professional); seating time was impeccable. Waiter (from start to finish): Extraordinary!!! Equal to the food, he went “above and beyond.” Professional, knowledgeable, classy, attentive - but not overly so; VERY kind/polite. He presented well and represented this restaurant with absolute top tier class. He made the experience luxurious and he will be the reason we return. Food: We had Ribeye Steak, Chicken salad, Salmon, and Clam Chowder, vegetables, rolls…all amazing). Sons had Chardonnay wine, loved it. The Chef is the best now we’ve experienced, so far (Italy, France, London, Germany, Hawaii, Tokyo, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, etc.). To say this restaurant exceeded our expectations is an understatement. Price: Right on point for quality and service. Location: This restaurant is worth the drive to Tacoma. Parking: Clean. Huge parking garage. High ceilings - can fit any size vehicles (large trucks); bright lighting; present physical security; cameras; close walk to elevators. Directions: Drive past the Casino entrance/drive around to second stop sign (one going to the left and one that will take you straight or to the right): Go left. Very next left turn (into the “East” garage). Take the elevator to the 4th floor. At the security check, circle to the left hall to next set of elevators; take elevator to the 11th floor. Amazing view!

Have dined and will continue to dine at Toscanos. Their kitchen is innovative and clever with great food as a result. The bar also mixes new and refreshing twist on their cocktails. Service has always been pleasant and professional. Additionally, Toscanos is a good community partner. Highly recommended.

What a fun night out!! I’m still smiling. Loved the flamenco guitarist, Sebastian, as well as the flamenco dancers. Food was yummy, service was great in spite of the packed house. I can’t wait to return for the next show!

Adorable restaurant in a nice section of Tacoma is worth a visit.
