Small and romantic we specialize in celebrations with family and friends, or just a quiet dinner with good conversation. We are family owned and operated and have been serving our community since 2001.

Drive in to Opera Alley and be transported. We strive to bring approachable food and beverage, a sense of comfort and community, as well as a unique and quality dining experience. We call ourselves a "cafe" in the sense that we are not pretentious and offer a fine dining experience in an atmosphere of comfort and respite.

Parking in Opera Alley, and downtown, can be a bit of a challenge, especially on the weekends, so please be sure to give yourself plenty of time when making reservations to find a parking space, or consider a night off from driving and get an Uber or Lift!! Eat good food often, break bread with friends and family, spend time with those you love, and we will see you soon.

    Over the Moon was okay. First impression is great as the atmosphere has a early 20th century vibe. Everything else was just average. My wife had the risotto, which was very good. I had salmon which was a tiny piece and overcooked, as were the vegetables, and it was over $50. Servers were okay, but not great with information or attentiveness. There are many restaurant choices around that are at same or cheaper price level that have far better food and experience. I can't say it was awful, but we won't be going back.

    We loved our anniversary dinner! Rose petals on the table ❤️ A delicious meal - we had the beet appetizer, Waldorf salad and short rib rigatoni. Then polished off some turtle pie for dessert. Our bottle of wine was a great recommendation from Jordan, our server. A wonderful, cozy evening.

    Way too expensive. Meal consisted of one Starter, and two main course dishes. No alcohol. With no tip: $100. Food was pretty good, but not worth what we paid. Over The Moon is very small. You sit very close to the table next to you. Too close. The service was great.

    Over the Moon Cafe is truly a unique experience in Tacoma. Nothing here is just OK ... it is exceptional. You have the option of getting a basket of sourdough bread ... but it's not fast to the table because it is baked fresh. The bread was still steaming when it came to the table ... and that's a good thing. The food is always hot and I doubt the restaurant even has a steam or heat lamp table. The lobster mac and cheese was really good, as was the scallops risotto. Both were very rich and we couldn't finish them. This is a wonderful place for celebrations and we will go back there again.

    So glad we discovered this place. The ambiance feels somewhere between an Edwardian parlor and a fortune teller’s den—-in other words, cozy with a tinge of brio. Food was amazing. The short rib ragu was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The short ribs were tender, and I think the main ingredient in the pasta sauce was happiness. My wife ordered the chicken cacciatore, which I just finished for breakfast this morning, on the verge of tears because it’s now gone. That polenta. . . omg! Overall, the value is decent. I don’t mind paying a few bucks for excellent food, and the fare at Over the Moon was worth every penny.
