El Goucho is fancy.
Stanley and the seaforts is semi fancy, more relaxed than stuffy. Down on the waterfront is the place to go. C.I Shenanigans has great food and is semi fancy. Great brunch on sunday as well. I'd recommend going down there on a nice sunny day in the spring and eat some brunch on Sunday, then take a walk with your favorite person(s) |

Didn't CavVet just go off on someone about the Spaghetti Factory??? Unsafe eating conditions or such? Maybe I'll call him. |

The New Orleans Creole Cafe, tucked into the offramp of Hwy 512 at Hwy 7 (Pacific Ave), south of downtown. Not real ritzy, but the food is to die for. The crawfish etoufee is superb, and the catfish is killer. And don't forget the hushpuppies!
 Taurus and I hit the place as often as we can.

Shenanigans is good.
Stanley and Seaforts is ok if you don't mind buying two dinners. The food is delicious, there just isn't very much of it. |

That was the Seattle one. The Tacoma one has a trolley car you can eat in, how much fancier can you get than that?

Hippy used to work there.....She gives it a big " ".Personally, I thought the sauce was pretty bland. Olive Garden has better sauce. If you want some good italian in tacoma go to Bella Nina's on 6th ave. THAT is good Italian food. |

1GR,
One of my favorite sushi places is in the Southend. It's called Kyoto and it's about a block south of the Dufflebag next to Paldo World Asian grocery. They have Japanese food (teriyaki, soba, udon, etc.) as well as Korean style food. they also have a koi pond and waterfall in the restaurant. HTH Trey |

This makes me wonder ... out of pure curiousity, what sort of places in the Olympia/Tacoma area would you be *expected* to wear a jacket and tie, if you're a male, and a dress, if you're female? What about places where tuxedos and formal wear are not uncommon?

"Expected?" Not too many. In Steillacoom, there is E.R Rogers (can't remember the addy) which last time I was aware, was about $100/plate. I'm not sure about either Gardner's or Jean Peirre's Garden Room. Casual/Family is pretty much the norm in the Southend. I've seen all manner of dress in Olympia restaurants. Trey |

Dropped $140 on 2 steaks there I could have done better on.  The $90 I spent at Castle was money much better spent.

Amici's (Italian) 224th & Meridian in Graham, Angleas (plain ol 'mer'can food!) 7511 Portland Ave. Tacoma, Antique Sandwich Co. (hippy style/world's best cheesecake!) 5102 N. Pearl, Tacoma, maybe try Ricardo's on 6th ave. it used to have a different name and was the best Italian around. Or, go to The Arches, 18001 Pacific Ave., in Spanaway . If they drop your food on the floor and you catch them, it's half price. If they step on it, (and you catch them) it's free!

i dont like hooters. the girls wear their hair down and i imagine that sometimes it falls into the food hinking.gif
the Ram has good food and an excellent selection of sudsy delights but you have a 50/50 chance of getting a platefull or just skimpy portions. also, try not to be sat in the gay guy's section. he isn't a great server and youll be lucky to get your drinks before youre done eating. |

If you give up on Tacoma, just go to Daniel's Broiler on Lake Union in Seattle. Incredible steak and lobster. View of the water.

Zen sushi is just over a mile from my house here in south Renton. Then there's Sushi Man in Issaquah and for the bigger sushi $$ there's Wasabi Bistro. Don't know much about Tacoma's offerings though. |

When I used to live back on the "Westside" I used to go to El Gaucho at least twice a month.......Its pretty nice, not super fancy. The food is alright, but the service is really good! I have yet to find a resturant in Seattle that is really fancy and has good food.

People have all suggested these places as "nice" and I honestly haven't been too impressed. Nor did i feel like i had to wear a suit. But if anyone has any suggestions for some "Fine dining" i'd love to try some new places out. I've been to: Daniels Broiler Palisade's The Met DC's Grill El Gaucho/Pampas Room |

Two suggestions.
Met Grill and order the Chateu Briand for two. Best damn filet and lots of it. Ruths Chris in Bellevue or Seattle. Ala cart ordering of your food, ie, you choose your main dish, and then choose what side dishes you want. Mmmmmmm Filet Mignon... Neither place is stuffy to the point where you NEED to dress up, but don't go into Ruths Chris in dirty "your weekend paint the house" jeans, and an arfcom polo shirt. |
