Enjoy multi-course meals for $65 or less during spring Tacoma Restaurant Week
Over 10 days in April, find multi-course lunch and dinner deals at 10 restaurants around Tacoma, starting at $20 and topping out at $65.
Northwest Military’s biannual Tacoma Restaurant Week runs April 12-16 and April 19-23. Weekend nights, Friday and Saturday, are not part of the promotion.
Participating restaurants pay a fee to participate in the event, which started in 2008 as a means of highlighting local restaurants while drawing customers to visit on quieter evenings in the “offseason.” Special menus feature two to three courses, depending on the time of day and the style of business.
The list usually includes some of the most popular and longstanding restaurants in town — El Gaucho, The Lobster Shop and Stanley & Seafort’s. Also participating in the Spring 2026 edition: the new-last-year Miro Tapas, Over the Moon Cafe, The Melting Pot, WildFin and Matador. Kyoto Sushi & Grill, recently sold to new owners, is the only one in Lakewood.
Tacoma Restaurant Week menu highlights
At El Gaucho, snag a three-course dinner for $65 with soup or salad; your choice of steak Diane (two 4-ounce filet mignon medallions), a bavette cut or wild Alaskan king salmon; and dessert of key lime pie or sorbet.
Over the Moon, which changed hands in 2024, will also offer a three-course dinner at that price, beginning with a shared app of beets with goat cheese or prosciutto di Parma with arugula, pickled cantaloupe and burrata. Each guest can choose a salad or cup of crab bisque, as well as an entrée of chicken cacciatore or yellow-tomato arrabiata pasta with maitake mushrooms.
The Melting Pot’s $50 menu offers some variety with cheese fondue, one of three salads, and one of three mains that each feature an array of meat and fish or a vegan meatball with veggies. Add a chocolate fondue for two for $24.
WildFin is also offering a $50 dinner with a choice of four apps, including calamari and ahi crispy rice, and five mains: seared ahi, rockfish with snow crab, grilled ribeye or salmon, shrimp and grits. Finish with butterscotch custard, maple bourbon doughnuts or a slice of coconut cream pie. At lunch, $35 gets you one main plus an app or dessert.
Stanley & Seafort’s dinner option goes for $45, including a cup of clam chowder or house Caesar, mains like an 8-ounce sirloin or seafood fettucine, and a slice of key lime pie or crème brûlée.
Matador in downtown Tacoma has a $25 lunch: agua fresca, house soup or salad, and one of four mains including chile relleno and fish tacos. The $40 dinner menu adds dessert.
The Lobster Shop is rolling with a three-course $30 lunch (app, main, dessert) or $35 dinner, plus select $10 cocktails.
In Lakewood, Kyoto offers a $25 lunch or $35 dinner with an app, main such as chirashi or a bento box, and mochi ice cream. At night, an enhanced $50 menu features deluxe sushi and other dessert options.
The cheapest option comes in at Stack 571 at Point Ruston. Choose an app, a burger and a drink — either a small milkshake, a featured cocktail or beer — for just $20.
