dinner at the beach house

After wending his way
through the celebrity-draped
restaurants of Los Angeles,
Aspen and Miami, native
son Gordon Naccarato has
come home to Tacoma to
join with his brother Steven
in their first Tacoma
restaurant venture.

Named one of Food &
Wine magazine's Top
Ten New Chefs, Gordon
Naccarato has been
cited as "easily the
best chef in South
Puget Sound..." In the
same News Tribune
review, it was stated
that "The Beach House
is constellations beyond
any other South Sound
restaurant...one of the
best restaurants to open
in the last 13 years."
