Or in the same block in Parkland: Marzano's. I think the prices there may be in your "overpriced" category. Just a couple blocks west of the Southern Kitchen: Gateway to India. Don't miss the biriyani. Or if you want to get more spendy, another block west to Fiasco (perhaps it's Il Fiasco). Newest discovery -- in Freighthouse Square: 32 Silvers (see: http://www.32silvers.com/). This one won't give you a nice quiet dinner, but it'll be delicious. -- Wes -------------- Anonymous wrote: > Hi Foodies everywhere... > > Taking the s/o to Tacoma for the obligitory "birfday" celebration and would > appreciate some guidance.
