The Staircase Café is open in Tacoma

A couple of week's ago Sue Kidd of the Trib's TNT Diner announced Gig Harbor resident Sal'An Weyer bought The Old House in Proctor, and would soon re-open it as The Staircase Café.

The Staircase is now open ... for lunch. Dinner service will begin next week.

Today's lunch specials are roast beef with mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and glazed carrots, shrimp salad, spinach quiche and more.
