If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Every single thing we ordered was delicious from the artichokes with the homemade chili ranch to the chocolate custard. This place does everything right and you can tell because it gets busy so plan accordingly. Erin and the entire crew clearly know what they are doing here and it is a must stop if you're in Tacoma and looking for a quality meal. The schnitzel and beet raviolis were two of my favorites and don't forget the sample the drink menu as well as the homemade desserts! What a gem in Tacoma.

Do not miss this place for dinner if you are in Tacoma! I would even go to Tacoma to specifically check it out. I am no vegetarian, but the beet ravioli (as in beet the root) was delicious and unique, with loads of flavor from the goat cheese sauce and perfectly cooked pasta. The bone marrow was bursting with flavor, and the sherry add on to literally drink up the juices at the end was so yummy. Another standout was the burrata starter with a savory sage bread pudding and brown butter carrots and cranberries. The ambience is nice and stark modern. It is a quick walk from the Elks Lodge if you are staying there. Highly highly recommend. Service up at the bar was also stellar.

Lacey, WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! She was hands down one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant/bar. She was extremely attentive and on top of her knowledge but it was due to her loving food... Lacey, you are a GEM! OKAY, now for the food, everything she recommended was A+ the Chefs seem to truly care about the quality of the food forsure. I also met great people with great energy. It was definitely a vibe. I literally went back the next day for the "Beet Ravioli" I am in LOVE with this dish. I also took home a veggie pizza, which had great flavor and was light and delicious. Really happy I found a new spot that I feel good about going to spend my money and time. The staff was amazing, from the host, to the staff who Also delivered our food. This was an unexpected very pleasant experience. Quality truly matters and it shows at this place. ✨️Beet Ravioli- ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ (perfection) goat cheese, basil, pistachio butter ✨️Jerk Cauliflower- ✔️✔️✔️ (pretty good needs more flavor for me though) caribbean spice, jerk crema, cilantro ✨️Heirloom Tomatoes- ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ (Amazing) burrata cheese, bread pudding, tomato gelée, aged balsamic, fresh basil

I was in downtown Tacoma to grab some food and drinks with some friends & tried Wooden City Tacoma. This is a great place to go for a date night or grab drinks with some friends. Dim lighting ambiance and a social atmosphere, menu was a bit limited but the options are great nonetheless. Would highly recommend if in Tacoma!

We had the most unforgettable experience at Wooden City celebrating Tori’s birthday. From start to finish, everything was extraordinary the food, the atmosphere, and the people who made it all feel so special. We sat at the chef’s table and got a front-row seat to the magic. Watching the team work in perfect harmony was like seeing a well-choreographed dance but with sizzling pans and beautiful plating. Their energy, focus, and love for the craft truly elevated the evening. The heirloom tomato salad was a burst of summer on a plate fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken schnitzel was golden, crispy perfection, while the pizza had that irresistible wood-fired crust with a depth of flavor you don’t forget. And the vegan tapioca dessert? Absolutely dreamy creamy, comforting, and innovative all at once. The staff went out of their way to make Tori’s birthday feel meaningful, and we left with full hearts (and full bellies). Thank you, Wooden City, for giving us a night to remember. We can’t wait to come back.
