Katie Downs Waterfront Tavern - Tacoma

I enjoy sitting on their deck, the staff there always so friendly, the atmosphere makes them comfortable and want back. the muddles are always ingenious! They have two doves hanging on their deck, who are lovely and entertaining, loved to watch them.

Really, really fast service, good beer selection, and solid food. The Fish and chips are delicious and unpretentious, just as they should be. They give me malt vinegar without me having to ask. Five stars across the board.

Nice water front view, good pizza and good drinks. I don't understand the cheap plastic chairs for the outside tables. The wait staff was nice. The only other unfortunate item was smelling the Tacoma aroma during our visit.

Always good. Nice selection of beers. Couldn't decide between fish/ shrimp tacos, so they let me do one of each (both were delicious). My wife enjoyed her bacon cheeseburger we will get the relish on the side next time as it was generously applied Server was great, and can't beat the view.

Even though halibut is on the menu, it's not available as a fish chips option as it it used to be. So I forked out the $38 for the grilled halibut and the piece they gave me literally measured 1.25"x4 The green salad I ordered as one of the sides was made entirely of arugula, which I can't stand. The only good part of the experience was that most of the staff were great; unfortunately not our server, who spent most of her time chatting with other staff. I have been a KD customer for more than 15 years but no longer. There are better places to spend that kind of money.
