Dining at Pacific Grill is truly an all-encompassing sensory experience. The food is impeccable and crafted with flair using only the finest ingredients to establish unique depths of flavor. The atmosphere is classic but not too serious and made all the more relaxing by warm lighting and unique artwork adorning the dining room. Knowledgeable wait staff guide guests through the menu, answering questions and offering wine selections to complement every meal. It should come as no surprise that this Tacoma favorite seized the Best of Dining with Flair category in this year’s reader’s choice poll.
Catering to all palates, menu selections range from appetizers inspired by the raw food movement to classics like filet mignon. Vegan and gluten-free options are also offered for guests with more specific food requirements.
Though winning the Dining with Flair spot, Chef/Owner Gordon Naccarato believes the food and atmosphere speak to a more laidback experience. “Although you can certainly have a fine-dining experience, I like to think we are much more casual. I think the food is fun and delicious but we don’t take ourselves too seriously,” says Naccarato.
While lunch and dinner tend to draw large crowds, the small plates and cocktails offered during happy hour have long been a favorite of the downtown working crowd and have garnered additional accolades. “We know how to throw a great party and invite Tacoma to have a fantastic night on the town,” adds Naccarato. Pacific Grill also offers an extensive catering menu for events ranging from office functions to retreats and private events. Reserved dining events can also be held in the private dining room, which seats 30 or can hold up to 40 for a larger reception.
Whether for a romantic dinner for two or a fun night out after a long day at the office, a fantastic meal and wonderful experience await at Pacific Grill.
