253-927-1513 | | | | | Description: TACOMA. This waterside restaurant on Tacoma's Dash Point dates from the late '70s, when a local entrepreneur converted a former grocery store into a small seafood restaurant. Thanks largely to word of mouth, the business expanded and he was able to open a second location at the Port of Tacoma. Over the years, the menu has grown and the venues have gotten nicer, but the quality cooking is still there. Dishes like Australian rock lobster tail with sweet cream butter, crab cakes and tiger prawns, and breaded pan-fried canal oysters earn raves from locals.
