Really the only exceptional dining experience in Gig Harbor. Fantastic service and exquisite food and cocktails. I only have one critique, the crème brûlée had a hardened texture like it had been in the fridge for days. All the other food was perfection.

The Dressing Room restaurant is a quaint, French theater themed restaurant. Very eclectic and old world. The food was very good and well prepared and so was the Mimosa and the Pink Chai latte.
