Sea Grill serves up its last meal this weekend. Read about it here.
This is disappointing news for the Tacoma dining community. Sea Grill was one of the anchor restaurants in the revitalized Pacific Avenue "restaurant row."
I just finished writing a burger report for this Friday's GO section and TNT Diner, and I devoted ink to Sea Grill's prosciutto and Gorgonzola burger, and I had plans to write about their Happy Hour menu in April.
I rewrote the burger entry to read as an homage to what is (soon to be was) one of the best burgers in town. But you do still have until this weekend to enjoy the Sea Grill burger, so long as the restaurant keeps the regular menu until they close. I also give high marks for the bar's Happy Hour specials. It really is (was) one of the best deals in town.
What I had written about the burger (pre-homage):
Sea Grill Burger: The half pound, juicy burger was sandwiched between two of my most favorite things — a big portion of Gorgonzola cheese and two salty slices of prosciutto. The patty came just as requested – medium. I let the burger sit for a moment while I enjoyed a few of the crispy golden fries, and the Gorgonzola cheese melted into a delicious, pungent cheese bath over the fat, juicy patty. Each bite was a salty-smokey treat. I can’t say enough about what a great value this burger is during the happy hour discount. ($7 during Happy Hour. Priced $9 on the regular menu).
Sea Grill: 1498 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, 253-272-5656, www.the-seagrill.com.

Jeff Mayor ad I visited with Nita Bariekman for a while last week. She was great! You would never guess her age after visiting with her. She still get's to her shop at 7:30 a.m. every weekday to make soups ad pies for the lunch crowd. I tried the lemon meringue pie and it was fantastic.
You can read Jeff's story here and I have added the video to this post.
Enjoy,
Joe
