Bacco Trattoria Italiana 9323 Martin Way E STE 108A, Olympia Italian • $$

We enjoyed:
-House Chianti
-Caprese Salad
-Rigatoni Bolognese
-Eggplant Parmesan (GF and vegetarian option)
-Gnocchi with Spare Ribs
-Nightly special: Polenta with Pork 3-ways
-Chocolate gelato
-Espresso

Some people might find it unusual that the galbitang comes with egg, but this style does exist in Korea. I especially remember having it quite often a long time ago. Overall, the side dishes and everything we had were not too salty and suited my taste perfectly. Our first visit was perfect. Can’t wait to go back!”

He should be commended. Our meal was fantastic, steak cooked perfectly, service quick, and sides all correct and accounted for.”

Driving from the west, you may gawk at what may be the largest homeless encampment in WA; doing so, you'll blink and miss Fatso's. Next to the weed shop in a non-descript building, I had the fatso double cheese which is a great deal at $15.99.

Great house-cut fries as well. Only downside was that they charged for a tiny cup of bottle ranch.”

“This Taco Time is the BEST!! I always order 3 hard shell tacos with meat & cheese ONLY & it is always filled with meat & cheese to the top other places give a very little amount of cheese & EVETYTHING is fresh. I live in Chicago now but came home in 2018 & got to Taco Time when they were closing they stayed open for us & made it very pleasant for my boys who made a mess! I come home every year & ALWAYS make it to the Olympia Taco Time!”

“If you like your pizza burnt, this is the place to be. Sadly our pizza was too burnt to enjoy. Tasted like a charred stick in the fire pit. I did have fond memories of actually liking their pizza throughout the years. We ordered 2, the kids devoured the pepperoni pizza as it seemed perfectly cooked. As for the burnt basil pizza… is going to the chickens 😢”

Sat at the bar, ordered a dirty martini from Tyler. He did the usual follow up. I told him, long day, just chilling, keep the glass full, and I’ll let you know the rest. He understood the assignment. For that, he gets a gold star. Thanks again.”

“We do girls nights at West Side El Sarape on a monthly basis. Last night, the chicken was dry in the fajita salad that I ordered. Definitely over priced for a typical salad and some chicken. My bill was $61 after ordering 1 drink, fajita salad and to hold off on the order to go, fajita quesadilla. Instead, she brought it to the table a good hour before we left and said its still warm. She never asked if I was ready to have it made or even leave. When I got home, the to go order was not what I requested, instead, fajitas. Very over priced and disappointed. Did price changes happen on the menu that do not reflect online menu?”

“Black Bear Diner boosts huge portion sizes, so much that'll you'll need a doggy bag because you won't be able to finish. This may have been true at one point, but in the present this claim is closer to wild fantasy than actual truth. See the pictures I've attached and draw your own conclusions. Although the food is good the portion size leaves something to be desired, especially for this particular diner which they charge almost $30 for. I did not photograph the salad or cornbread, as the focus is particularly on the protein.”

“Had great food and a good time until we got our bills. Didn’t realize there was a 18% automatic gratuity added for large groups which is fine but they don’t give you a receipt so you end up giving an extra tip on top of the one already had on the bill. Some of our group questioned this to the server and only then did he admit there was a gratuity added. To me this is deceptive and spoiled the nice experience.”

Budd Bay Cafe 525 Columbia St NW, Olympia Seafood • $$

“I had my first solo lunch experience at Budd Bay Cafe, located right along the boardwalk at Percival Landing Park. The setting is beautiful, with peaceful waterfront views and a steady flow of people enjoying a walk along the boardwalk with their families and pets. Sitting by the window with the sunlight reflecting off the bay created a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. For my meal, I ordered the Panko Style Pacific Cod platter, which was recommended by my waitress since catfish was unavailable. It was served with french fries, coleslaw, and sides of ketchup and tartar sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—with great flavor throughout. Everything on the plate was fresh and well-prepared. I also asked for a drink that was sweet with a hint of sour, and the waitress suggested one of their signature cocktails made with strawberry vodka, triple sec, sweet and sour, Starry, and strawberry purée, served in a pink glass. It was refreshing, balanced, and complemented the meal nicely. The service was attentive and thoughtful. My waitress made helpful recommendations and ensured I was comfortable throughout my visit, which I especially appreciated as someone new to the area and dining alone. Although I considered dessert, I was completely satisfied by the end of my meal. Overall, this was a very pleasant first dining experience in Olympia. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for good food, a calm atmosphere, and a lovely waterfront view.”

We live about half way between Olympia and Longview, due to traffic we usually go to the Longview Red Lobster. We have had many "ok" dinners at Longview. Yesterday we went to Olympia. The service was great and the food was perfect. The last month has been a rough one and we needed a good night out to relax. It could not have been better, Thank you. (P.S. I did not get our waitresses name, But I am fairly certain she is the tallest waitress you have there. She is great at her job. Thank you again.) 👍👍👍”

“Red Lantern in Olympia absolutely earned a five star review from me. Every single dish hit the mark and it all came together into one of the most satisfying dinners I have had in a long time. The pho broth was deeply savory and delicious, and the beef rib was perfectly cooked and so tender that it came off the bone with almost no effort. The noodles and herbs had that amazing, just right texture that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite. The tom yum with tofu was the most perfect balance of sour and heat, bright and fragrant without ever feeling harsh, and every vegetable in the bowl was cooked through but still had good bite. It is the kind of bowl you keep going back to even when you are already full.
The summer rolls were so good as an appetizer that I honestly considered just ordering a second round and calling that dinner. Fresh, clean flavors with great chew on the noodles and a dipping sauce that pulled everything together without overpowering it. The jasmine tea was a perfect addition alongside all of that, soothing and floral and exactly what you want to sip between bites of hot broth and noodles. Put all of that together with a cozy downtown Olympia location and you get a spot I am already planning to come back to and recommend to friends.”
