The city of Lakewood has one thing in abundance and that is the beauty of nature. And with that beauty comes the opportunity to incorporate some very fun activities into a natural setting. One location within Lakewood that does this very well is Fort Steilacoom Park. The area was actually a military base early on and then was converted into a self-sustaining farm that supplied a local hospital. Today, it provide a diverse mix of active and passive recreation. But never fear, once the activity if over and you need some refreshment, Lakewood has some pretty amazing places to visit including the ones below for which we have provided reviews.
It all begins with a great breakfast at this wonderful venue. Everything they offer is absolutely phenomenal in terms of taste and quality. And the decor is very unique as there are creative art pieces all over the place to peruse and enjoy. If you have dietary restrictions, they offer a vegan breakfast scramble that is out of this world. And we have to say a word for their coffee. If you need to wake up or just love a good strong cup of coffee, then this is where you want to go. This is a five start establishment that is calling your name.

The bottom line at this fabulous establishment is that they serve up amazing steaks at reasonable prices. In terms of atmosphere, get ready to lean back and relax and be served like you are royalty. They know the key to a tasty steak here and it is all about aging. But they even go a step further. Before they are served they are hand cut and then grilled over an open flame to sear in that amazing flavor. Then they brush them with butter for extra richness. If all you had here was a steak, you would be more than satisfied.
