   Five women had a fabulous dinner at the restaurant( paella, chicken, ahi and scallops(2). We shared the taco appetizer and German chocolate dessert. Everything was delicious. Staff responsive and friendly but not intrusive. Wonderful

   We loved both of our experiences at Pimienta Bistro and Bar. EVERYTHING on their menu is phenomenal and well-thought out, in addition to being really creative. Their entrees pair the best combos together. The owner is fantastic and has her own tequila! Must try.

   Enjoyed the delicious beet salad and a special seafood pasta for Sunday evening dinner. The room was lively, the service was unbeatable, and the food was wonderful as always. Pimienta provides the best dining experience in Federal Way and NE Tacoma, no question.

   So worth a visit! A gem tucked away in a mini strip mall. Be sure to try her soups, as well as the house wine.

   Another delightful dining experience at Pimienta! Every few weeks my partner and I meet for dinner here on Sunday after spending the weekend with our families. This time we were the only customers in the place (!) and every aspect of the experience was wonderful as always. Our cocktails were delicious, both the non-alcoholic and the house special tequila margarita. The soup de jour was a rich, spicy tomato basil bisque and the Pimienta salad was tasty and refreshing as always. We had the Pollo Rostizado and the special rigatoni with beef tips, prawns & mushrooms in a bleu cheese cream sauce and they were wonderful. But really, the whole menu is excellent! The service is warm and friendly. We always enjoy the music here - this time it was very nice Mexican pop music. Other times it's Sinatra or Italian, but always uplifting. Pimienta is a true hidden gem! Not a place for mass-produced meals from a laminated menu or mediocre portions so huge you'll be lugging home half of your dinner. Just really delicious, creatively crafted food and beverages in an inviting and intimate space hosted by welcoming people who do an outstanding job every time.

   Pimienta is truly a hidden gem in Northeast Tacoma. Book in advance as the secret is getting out! You will not be disappointed in any respect as I noted with my stars.

   Nice crowd for Sunday dinner but pleasant noise level (and always great music!). Red snapper special and the regular menu Pollo Rostizado were both delicious. Service was great as always. We always enjoy our frequent visits to Pimienta.

    My Fiance said it was one of her best steaks she's ever had in her life. I loved the steak. I personally wish the portions were bigger. Maybe like veggies along side the potatoes. But everything tasted phenomenally. It was quiet and warm. Even thoe we were close to the door. The lighting and decorations were amazing. The Tequilas were amazing! Our server had the best timing. Desert was amazing. I think the Staff are amazing and 10 out of 10. I think if your wanting to try this resteraunt. Do it. It was amazing.
