You're driving along South 19th Street down toward the Tacoma Narrows Passage, deeper and deeper into a quiet, residential neighborhood of modern mansions, retro homes and shacks, when the trees part to reveal the Narrows Marina, Narrows Brewing Company and, thankfully, Boathouse 19.

What a lucky neighborhood.

Boathouse 19 - the kickback hangout from the folks who know water views, Lobster Shop - serves seafood entrees, sandwiches, burgers and delightful starters with Southern flared flavor peppered throughout the dishes

The waterfront restaurant also serves tasty desserts. Again, lucky neighborhood.

Included on its dessert list is a Triple Chocolate Brownie Sundae ($5). This chocolaty, must-try treat screams Valentine's night. The freshly baked brownie is not stiff brick of chocolate. The brownie is tender, giving way to the prodding of the fork instantly, warm and welcoming. Three cheers for the topping: creamy, housemade sweet cream ice cream, whipped topping and appropriate amounts of chocolate and caramel sauce drizzle. Two cherries placed delicately atop completing a lovely presentation.

Perfectly paired with a hot cup of coffee or perhaps a red wine, the Triple Chocolate Brownie Sundae is a divine way to end any meal.

Lucky neighborhood.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE SUNDAE, 11 a.m. to close daily, Boathouse 19, 9001 S. 19th St., Tacoma, 253.565.1919
