Keeping up with Gig Harbor’s significant growth in recent years is an expanding culinary scene catering to both new residents and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create your own movable feast with this guide for stops around the Harbor and a short drive to Uptown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appetizers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Start at Morso Bistro with an expansive deck overlooking the bay. Chose from a long list of wines by the glass. Come for happy hour 2-5 p.m. or anytime for a platter of local clams, steamed in herbed pesto and white wine; ricotta meat balls served in a tiny cast-iron skillet; and a generous bowl of warm spanish olives sprinkled with orange zest.

Lunch or dinner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Mexican recipes with modern twists fill a long menu at Moctezuma’s, part of a small, Northwest chain started by an Oaxacan family 45 years ago. Start with a flight of miniature Margaritas, then bring on the smoke. Several dishes come with a flaming side show. Served tableside is the Queso Flameado, a blend of three cheeses, pork chorizo and tomatillo sauce, served with warm tortillas; and the Tequila Flaming Fajitas, lit with tequila, and served with grilled shrimp, chicken and steak.

Dessert<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In a new location across from the harbor is Iscreamery where the owners delight in coming up with unique flavors for their house-made ice cream. Among a repertoire of 200 flavors are sweet corn pudding sprinkled with bits of orange biscotti; spiced chai tea with ginger snaps; and caramel apple pie. For those who like waffle cones but would rather scoop from a cup, there’s an edible waffle bowl. <\/a>

Cocktails<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With 100 miniature wooden casks lining the walls, Heritage Distilling is a tasting room that feels like an intimate cocktail lounge.Cask Club members reserve a cask filled with customized spirit blends that yield a dozen or so bottles after a year’s wait. Drop-in visitors can sample classic and seasonable cocktails or build their own flights with a variety of flavored vodkas, whiskies, rums and gins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a sweet tooth? Try anything made with the Cocoa Bomb chocolate whiskey. This is a kid-friendly tasting room, so mocktails are also available.
