We were there in early fall and started with the Mushroom Risotto appetizer special ($8). The restaurant is a short walk from the brewery and the menu changes with the season, so there will be plenty of savory dishes to choose from. When looking for a lovely Gig Harbor restaurant to enjoy a classy dinner at, look to Brix 25° for Northwest-inspired American cuisine. They don’t serve food, so save your appetite for dinner! One of the nice things about this taproom is that it has views inside the brewery room, it isn’t filled with TVs (except on game days), and has outdoor seating. If you don’t want to go to a brewery, you can also pick up a fizzy tart kombucha at the Harbor General Store, which has delicious homemade kombuchas They also have WA cider, gluten-free beer, and non-alcoholic offerings. You’ll have plenty to choose from, and if you want to do a sampler, the knowledgeable staff will help you select which ones are right for you. 7 Seas Brewing (Beer) or The Harbor General Store (Non-Alcoholic Drinks)īefore dinner, head to 7 Seas Brewing to sample their fantastic beers. Travel Tip: For those traveling with kids, Tides Tavern is for 21+ only. They also have other tasting items on their menu like a Grilled Steak and Brie Sandwich with Cambozola brie, crispy onion, and Dijon, a Fried Oyster Po Boy with deep-fried fresh Pacific oysters on French bread with all the fixings, and a Curry Salad with pineapple, celery, raisins, house-made cashews and their famous curry dressing. Since this is just the beginning of our foodie adventure, I suggest substituting a salad for the fries. Order their signature 2-piece Alaskan Halibut and Chips with house-made tartar sauce ($19.99). Over the years the tavern has won many notable awards like “Best Outdoor Dining,” “Best Lunch,” and “Best Bar.” There are so many great dishes on this menu you’ll be tempted to look at or order the lunch options – don’t, as they’ll be a lunch stop later! Tides Tavern (Lunch)įor lunch, walk over to Tides Tavern, which is a very popular spot, and if the day is sunny, there might be a wait for a table outside. They also have plenty of other fantastic options like the Sausage Breakfast Burger with a fried egg, bacon and cheese, Frenchy’s French Toast with Chantilly creme and a Bartlett pear compote, and Free-Ta-Tas with creamy goat cheese, leeks, and topped with cilantro. 9 for a Skillet of Warm Cinnamon Rolls ($7.59) or the Maple Glazed Bacon Cinnamon Rolls ($11.00).
