Animarum - Gig Harbor

Paella was crazy. 6 inch lobster dick, 6 inch lobster claw, and so many muscles. Enjoying everything in a private tent was just perfect.

We’ve eaten here for dinner and decided to try the pop up window experience. We got the poutine and al pastor tacos. Poutine was crispy, tacos were flavorful, our tummies were happy. Everything is made in house and was delicious! The staff were helpful, kind and thorough. We will definitely be back!!

We visited Animarum last evening with high expectations and Animarum delivered big time. We ate in the Speak Easy. The small plates selection is excellent and we had quite the dinner night out with friends. Scallops were great, coconut prawns were tasty, enjoyed the half Lobster tail, we all had the 8oz ribeye and we had more. The plates came out one at a time, so we had a leisurely evening. The atmosphere is intimate, low lighting and decor is well done cozy seating. Moved to Gig Harbor in June from Bellevue. Animarum is on the top of our list now. We will be back very enjoyable evening. Keep it up A team. A woman owned biz as well . . . Nice.

Agree with the other low reviews below. Very shocked they have such high reviews. Went to their pop up menu and was extremely disappointed. The menu looked awesome, they have about 6 things on it. We ordered 3 things and it was $50. The al pastor tacos were beyond disappointing.... they had zero flavor and I'm not sure what kind of tortillas they used but they were awful. We were so hungry after, we ended up at the Thai place across the street. I never mind spending money on good food and this just wasn't cutting it. I ate the tacos so fast just so I could be done with them. It was that bad.

Just had a lovely private dining experience in a beautiful tent with very attentive server and chef. The food was creative and delightfully yummy and all made in house. The owner was engaging but not intrusive. The Persian meal was perfectly paired with the right drinks. Everything was sublime. Thanks Gabby and Ben!
