Any suggestions for a post-graduation lunch/brunch in the Tacoma area--near PLU if possible? Thanks!

Some places that serve a nice lunch in Tacoma are The Cliff House, Primo Grill, The Ruston Way Lobster Shop, and Stanley & Seaforts. They all have web sites.

Thank you. I'll look into those and have actually tried Primo Grill and Stanley and Seaforts in other visits. I wondered if there was anything else I wasn't aware of.
How about dinner??

All the places I mentioned serve dinner. Other reliable options are El Gaucho, which is a very good local steak and fish house, and Altezzo Italian restaurant in the downtown Sheraton Hotel.

None of the places mentioned so far are "near" PLU. There is a place called Marzano's right across the street, but you MUST make a reservation if you'd like to eat there.

The Etouffe is delish. Desserts are great!
