“Great for a day for relaxation and catching up with friends. Our meal was cooked to perfection and the flavors in every dish was well thought through. The view of Puget sound and Mt Rainer was breathtaking. No chill be close to such large windows. Great wine list. Staff was extremely attentive and was able to give space for a night out with friends. It was an extremely enjoyable evening. The beet salad is a good way to start off and clean your palate.“

We truly couldn't choose a favorite. Sooo good. Seriously. We were only upset that we got full and couldn't eat more. Bravo! Great vibe too!“

“If you're wondering where to go for a cool brunch, look no further. We went to Manuscript for Sunday brunch, and I am still thinking about it on Thursday! The staff was quick and polite, and the food was excellent. The place has a cool vibe, the type of place you want to catch up with an old friend over a beverage and some crispy pork belly.....which is amazing because every table looked like they were having a beverage and amazing breakfast!We had a breakfast sandwich, the pork belly hash, and a GIANT Lemon grab Baby (which is just like a Dutch baby only with lemon curd and huckleberry jam). There wasn't a scrap of food left over. Everything was so amazingly tasty that we all left fully and happy.We will definitely be back to try more of their menu. It is a great place to go in Tacoma!“

“We really love En Rama and we have been coming here since they opened. I literally only have two complaints. Well, l sort of three. The first one is the soft-boiled egg. I used to be able to get it on the braised chickpeas. The last time I was there they said they could only put it on pasta. ☹️ Also, their drink menu has changed. My favorite drinks were Netflix and chill and the lavender. If all three of those things would get fixed, I would be so much happier and would be running in tomorrow. If even one of the drinks came back and the soft boiled egg was okay to order with my chickpeas, I would be back immediately. I'm flexible. Good on you guys for having tons of veggie stuff.“

“We went on a Saturday night. We have been to many comedy clubs over the years. This place was the cleanest venue we have visited. It seems to be designed for comedy. With that I mind our seats were extremely stage left but close to the stage but a lot of the jokes were hard to hear. The menu was diverse. The pork shanks and nachos were excellent. The service was the best we've had at a comedy club. This week's headliner was a disappointment but he has a national reputation so the club is trying to bring in top notch talent“

“I come here often. The staff is wonderful. It's clean and safe and has free parking. Every Saturday they have a band. No cover/all ages. The food is "meh". The dance area is carpeted, which is kinda' a bummer if you are a dancer. It's an early venue that caters to an older crowd. The bands are of varying musical genres and usually some of the best our area has to offer. They have a small attached bar and a lovely covered patio. It's a nice place to bring a family or, especially, older relatives.“

“Best dining experience I've found in Gig Harbor hands down. The wild boar Osso Buco was good, but the chef crushed the braised shortrib. I'll definitely be ordering that next time. The Cambozola appetizer was subtle, sophisticated, and bright in just the right starter portion. The ambiance is fine. The designer had a soft spot for hexagons and textural elements, but the windows looking out on the harbor are just too small and too high for being so close to the water.“
