Brunch service begins at 3 Tacoma restaurants
Brunch, apparently, is becoming Tacoma’s most desirable meal.
Three restaurants are beginning weekend brunch service. Take a look.
THE TABLE
2715 Sixth Ave., Tacoma; 253-327-1862; thetabletacoma.com.
Brunch served: 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays-Sundays.
Derek Bray’s Sixth Avenue dinner-only eatery, which opened in July 2015, is expanding to weekend brunch service this weekend. Featured on the menu will be pork belly and grits ($12); a Benedict ($15) made with duck and pork sausage; sweet potato hash ($12); sausage gravy pot pie ($14); and fried chicken with gravy ($12). A children’s menu ($8-$12) and breakfast cocktails made with wine and beer ($8-$15) are also offered.
CROWN BAR

Brunch served: 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Fridays-Sundays.
Christina Smyre bought the longtime Sixth Avenue haunt, Crown Bar, in December and promptly added lunch in January. February brought weekend brunch. On the menu is pork belly hash ($10); biscuits and sausage gravy ($12); eggs Benedict with candied bacon or crab ($12); savory crepes ($8); and skillet cinnamon rolls ($7.50). There’s also a breakfast cocktail menu ($8-$13).
PACIFIC GRILL
1502 Pacific Ave., Tacoma; 253-627-3535; pacificgrilltacoma.com.
Brunch coming: March.
Gordon Naccarato’s Smoke + Cedar, which operated from March 2014 to October 2015 at the Allenmore Golf Course, collected a fan following for its brunch service. Naccarato has plans once again to offer brunch. Find it sometime in March at his downtown Tacoma restaurant, Pacific Grill.
MARROW
2717 Sixth Ave., Tacoma; 253-267-5299; marrowtacoma.com. 21 and older only.
Brunch served: 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays-Sundays.
Sunday-only brunch service at Sixth Avenue’s Marrow has expanded to Saturdays. The menu includes chicken and malted waffles ($19), a croque madame ($14) and what I consider the city’s best crab Benedict ($18).
