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 was so refreshing to experience. I have a hard time justifying fine dining in the Tacoma area. This resturant hit every check box. Service was well dressed, professional, and actually seemed like they were trained in fine dining. This is almost non existent now. The food was perfectly cooked. I mean I order the duck breast, and it was a perfect medium rare. Not easy to achieve. All the reductions paired well, and I was unable to leave a single piece of food left on any plate. Perfect portions. The crab bisque... wonderful. I will be coming back here, and recommending this is anyway wanting a real dining experience here in the local area.

    Our second time dining here for our anniversary. It is one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. So professional and kind. We have decided to make this official anniversary spot.

    Cozy, romantic spot. At our table, there was a box with love notes that previous customers had written to one another. Very fun. Special occasion dinner place.

    They are personalized service. My wife has food allergies I noted in my reservation, the waitress knew them when we were greeted and from beginning to end the experience was perfect.

    This is our second time dining at Over The Moon Cafe and we were very impressed with everything. The staff is top notch, very professional and yet, personable at the same time. The food is amazing as well! We are looking forward to our next visit!

    This is my wife and my favorite restaurant in Tacoma. We try to do one date night here every six months. Tonight we had dinner with our daughter before a show. The food was fantastic as usual but the service was incredible. After a minor mistake with our order, we were more than compensated after an apology from the hostess and chef. Their service, atmosphere, food, and value make this place a gem in Tacoma. We will continue to be back!

    Beautiful small, elegant, comfortable restaurant. Love the wing back chairs. The food is outstanding. The clam appetizer had the best delectable butter wine sauce. The lasagna is to die for and the short rib ragu was made of dreams. 5 star on the food. The problem was service. Entres were slow coming out and the check was slow to be taken care of. They seemed under staffed. The server was very good although overwhelmed.

    A hand-wrote Happy Anniversary card and red rose on the table when we arrived made this an above and beyond anniversary reservation. Sabrina was wonderful. Completely un-surprising that this place is so popular. Definitely make a reservation.
