“When Valentinas opened, the food was delicious. I expected the food quality to decline (like many restaurants do) but every time is as good as the last, and gets better somehow - a rare gem. I love Valentinas ❤️”
“I absolutely love this place! The food is always delicious and the service is wonderful. Extra shout-out to Amanda who had our table on the night of the luminary procession. The place was super busy (of course) but Amanda made us feel like VIPs. Thank you so much for your attentiveness and letting us know about future events.”
“Perfect place for a romatic dinner or drinks out with friends. Live guitar music set the mood, we loved our wine flights and the food was fantastic! Friendly staff, warm atmosphere and great view!”
“Ordered the Ribs which I will say was a great choice. If your expecting the way we cook ribs when grilling American style your in for a pleasant surprise as they were different in a great way. Flavor seasoning and sauce on point. The Chicken Katsu was like the best we ever had. was not dry. Very tender and moist like you would hope for. We will be going back again.
Parking: Had to make a couple trips around the block but no to bad”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The fish is amazing and well prepared. I tried 14 different nagiri and all were excellent. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I have never given 5 stars before...until now.”
“Really good food and service. And the green martini was my favorite!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“A scone from Olympia Baking, is so much more than a celiac safe treat for me. They are truly the best scones I have had -EVER. Whether you care about gluten or not, the delicious baked goods served by Chef Willis with genuine heart felt community love, will bring you back again and again!
This will quickly become one of your favorite local businesses to support!”
“Stopped in for an after errands late lunch to-go and was so pleasantly surprised with wonderful service! The fresh gyoza were to die for…and you won this pregnant woman over by feeding me before receiving my order ❤️
I ordered the katsu roll (incredible)
The holy holy roll— SO GOOD
And another deep fried salmon roll whose name escapes me. All were excellent, and we will absolutely be back.”
“I have ordered the vegan bulgogi almost every paycheck because it's so satisfying. As someone who doesn't find many menu options when I go out to eat, k-town is like a dream. I've gotten a few things off their menu now and have always been happy!! They are nice every time I come in :) 10/10 recommend, thank you for being my happy place”
“Everything here — everything — is divine and fabulous even for those who aren’t strictly vegan. I’m prompted to write today because I got one of my favorites to go two days ago — the bagel and “lox” — and had the first half yesterday and the second today. Incredibly still delicious after two days in the fridge. Kudos to you all.💕”

“Amazing food! Nothing short of flavors from every direction! Great bar favorites & local brews.”
“Been there 3 times. Service can be a little slow when they are busy. But the sushi is great and they have lots of options. The lunch specials are good price for the amount of food you get.”
“Food A+ perfectly cooked generous 12oz NY steak & Blackened rockfish! Flavor excellent on all sides. Server A+, this was our first visit and Victoria helped with all our questions like family. After ordering the wait for food was long but we were in no hurry. It would have been nice to have something to nibble on. We hadn’t expected the wait so we didn’t order bread or salad, everything is extra. The place could use something acoustic to cut the noise a notch, simply voices overwhelm the place. Music from the venue next door wasn’t a distraction, it was fine. Parking can be difficult. All in all, we will be back for the A+ parts make it way worth the visit.”

“What a fantastic find! I am so rarely impressed when I go out, but Chicory was absolutely incredible! So inspired and inventive! Everything was absolutely delicious! My taste buds and soul were so happy. Had the scallops, carrots, smoked potatoes and biscuits. I cannot wait to return and try more of the amazing menu! Service was wonderful. Very sweet husband and wife owned place. Only regret is that I hadn't tried it sooner. What a gem! Thank you Chicory!”
“We ate dinner at the bar and it was outstanding service. The waiter was friendly, kind, warm, and very attentive. 5 star customer service and made our meal positive experience. The waiter has most pleasing personality. Was really good with my autistic adult son:)”
“7/20/2024. Unassuming neighborhood pub, Nordic-inspired interior. Exposed wooden beams, wood-paneled walls envelop diners in rustic embrace; minimalist design embodies hygge—coziness and contentment. Chicken fried hamburger steak, a revelation; supremely fresh patty, tender beneath light, slightly sweet batter. Caramel-hued biscuits, fluffy, moist interiors; ample strawberry preserves in charming ramekins. Belgian waffle, enjoyable despite browning; fluffy interior bolstered by generous pour of real maple syrup. Unexpected star: fresh, sugar-dusted donuts, warm from fryer. Five delectable morsels per order, perfect for dunking into rich, bright Dancing Goat coffee—local Olympia roast. Petite ceramic creamers add touch of charm. Attentive staff ensure cups remain filled, needs met; friendly banter enlivens inviting atmosphere. (Thanks, Tish!) Glossy coffee cups sans saucers, side of donut preserves elevate experience. Cozy oasis seamlessly blends simplicity, comfort; hygge-filled haven for locals and visitors alike.”
“I made my ancestors proud as I sat there like a sea otter dispatching crab after crab. Best service I have ever experienced and that is saying something. James G. You are an amazing server/host. Thank you Anthony's HomePort Olympia. Also give that man (James G). a very seriously deserved reward if you can, he provided the best service I have ever received. Not to detract from the cooks who nailed the crab and steak btw. Amazing. 10 out of 10.”
“Brad has definitely done a good job keeping this place up since I last ate here over a decade ago. I've had pizza time at least 4 times in the last week and I've gotta say the only thing that's off here is the consistency. My wife gets the same thing every time and each time there's something different about her pizza. Not enough toppings, just enough, burnt gluten free crust, cheese doesn't quite taste the same. It's still good but since consistency would be nice.”

“This is my favorite location to come to. They are always the sweetest and always making my drinks perfect as always. As a former barista love to see it. My favorite worker so far is syrena I think that’s how’s you spell it if not I’m so sorry for spelling your name wrong but you are always the most amazing and bubbly and sweetest barista I have met. Always making the experience to get a coffee amazing. As always loves to see the dog as well”
“We always sit in the bar and we always receive great service. I want to call out that Matt handled a really rude customer on 12/2/24 with calmness and kindness. There was a mixup regarding checks with the neighboring table and she had her salad comped, but she didn't understand why. He explained multiple times (who complains that their meal is being comped???!) until he finally said he needed to keep moving to help other diners, and her dining partner actually raised her voice and cursed at him. He should be commended. Our meal was fantastic, steak cooked perfectly, service quick, and sides all correct and accounted for.”
“Lovely selection of wines for tasting. A bit pricey, a good selection of local wines. Not shabby on the international selection. Sign up to receive alerts for events in store. Good end to the day, sipping wine, interacting, and listening to live music.”

“Bought a bag of Morning Sun whole beans. Package says it's a darker roast. Darker than what? Water? We tried it three mornings in a row. With no other whole beans in the house, I had to switch to instant coffee. Morning Sun is NOT a dark roast. Sorry to say I was very disappointed.”
“We ate dinner at the bar and it was outstanding service. The waiter was friendly, kind, warm, and very attentive. 5 star customer service and made our meal positive experience. The waiter has most pleasing personality. Was really good with my autistic adult son:)”
“Best Juice Bar I’ve been to statewide. Prices are fair and service is top notch. You’ll always receive a smile and warm welcome as soon as you open the door. 10/10 recommend to everyone!
Dietary restrictions: If you have an allergy just tell them and ask for a pitcher sanitization and they’ll do it for you.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Wonderful meal while catching up with my friend! Service was great & was able to explain some meal choices. My friend was new to Indian Cuisine, so ordered everything mild on our first go round at this restaurant. The food was flavorful, even the rice! My friend states she drives by on I-5 often, so will be stopping by to pick up her take out order. The restaurant was neat & clean showing remnants of previous life as a restaurant diner. What counts is that one can eat the quality, Indian Cuisine locally. worth the drive to the country.”

“I met with someone today who wanted to learn about spinning on a spinning wheel I had for sale. I had never been to this shop, but we wanted to meet halfway between us, preferably at a locally owned coffee shop. We had a wonderful time, and the coffee was wonderful! And best of all, I found out after we were finished there are gluten-free treats!! I made a new friend today, and we hope to meet once a month. We would love to make this little shop a regular meeting point.”
“This tavern is a gem. The food is cooked with care and you can tell when you get it. The brussel sprouts are a huge hit at any time. I tried a "special" called the CodFather yesterday with a hand battered piece of cod, topped with fresh sliced pastrami and some cheese on a slathering of coleslaw on a bun. It absolutely works!”
“Best Fish & Chips I’ve ever had. And you have got to try the Brussels they are incredible. I will be going back soon.”
“This restaurant is a favorite of mine and my husband's. The staff is so kind, the food is always amazing, and they are very quick with the service. We try to go here as often as we can as a treat to ourselves ❤️ I 100% recommend giving them a try 😇”
“We have been wanted to try ever since Row opened and finally made it today for brunch. Both hubby and I were delighted with our food! Croque Madame - outstanding! Salmon Omelette - also very good. We will return soon rather than later and come for lunch. Of course, we want to buy a hat or shirt and just an 'e' to the end of Row.😅”
Cheap Eats
“A clerk at a supermarket recommended this place for discounted gluten-free bread 4 years ago and we have been regular customers since. Good selection of GF breads and pretzels and much larger selection of gluten breads, donuts and other treats. Get a free loaf from a special rack for every $10 spent on that visit. Punch card also available. Huge selection of Franz and misc other baked goods. Friendly staff.”
“This cute restaurant is slightly hidden when you first arrive as my boyfriend and I missed it when we first arrived by GPS. Luckily there was street parking in front of the restaurant and we were able to park just fine and enter the restaurant. We were greeted by our waitress who appears to be the owner and she was very polite and professional with us. She got us waters and menus and gave us the right amount of time to decide what we wanted. My boyfriend ordered the Singapore fried rice with chicken and I got the spicy garlic chicken with peanut sauce with a Thai iced tea.
The inside of the restaurant is cozy and cute. The ceiling has a beautiful pattern of blue skies with little clouds and there is good lighting throughout the restaurant that gives a pretty casual vibe throughout the restaurant. The food came out after some time and it was absolutely phenomenal. My boyfriend loved his fried rice and he also took some of the peanut sauce as he said it was very flavorful. I really enjoyed the spicy garlic chicken and wished it was a bit spicier as I ordered hot but that's fine. The peanut sauce was delightful to put on my meal as well. We thought the Thai iced tea was very refreshing and perfect. I look forward to trying more of the dishes here as we were happy with the food, service, and prices!”
“Lindsay is an amazing business woman and an asset in our community. She generously donates to Littlerock Elementary School for staff appreciation week. She is eager to be a part. We appreciate all the love that she has shown and continues to show every year! Please support Hillbilly Beans like they support our wonderful school! ❤️ ☕️ 🫶🏽”
“Great place to meet up with friends! Best bartenders great owners too”
“😃“The Mark restaurant is like a vacation; it transports you, and it becomes a lot more than just about the food”

“One of my favorite new spots in Olympia. The space is beautiful and the food is stellar, classic Mexican dishes with beautiful fine dining presentation. The service is very welcoming and the staff are kind and attentive. Olympia needs more restaurants like this.”
“Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Amazing food with attention to detail and presentation. 😁Next best thing to being in Italy.”
“They have real crab and toro, great food overall! Miso soup comes free with dinner too
Dietary restrictions: Easy to see ingredients for each meal”
“An absolutely amazing dining experience. The food is out of this world! Everything is a party for your tastebuds, from the first bite to the last. I highly recommend this family owned business!”
“NOTE: You do NOT have to play golf or be a member here to enjoy the restaurant and bar… Loving the new menu options! We also hosted my husband’s 50th birthday here and catering + bar was perfect! Fun place to hang out! Lani and Meghan are the best ?”
“Such a cute fun bar. Great staff and service. Loved the environment. Great music.”
“Great selection of 3Mag and guest beers. Highly rated NA beers. Friendly place. As of 1/23, snacks but bring your own food. Also frequent popup food service. Check their Facebook page.”
“This is my favorite place to eat. Great food, great service. Price is right. Lots of yummy food cooked to your liking. Definitely recommend going.”
“Better be hungry and thirsty. Nothing but good vibes and good food and drinks.”
“This was our first time eating here. Our waiter, Terran, have impeccable service! He was friendly, smiling, full of suggestions, not pushy though. And once we decided from the mariott of delectable choices, our food came out hot, fast and delicious! Some of the best fish n chips I've had in years! We will definitely be making this a regular stop when traveling South!”
“Shari’s Cafe and Pies offers a comforting slice of Americana with its classic diner ambiance and hearty menu. The decor is warm and inviting, featuring cozy booths and friendly staff that make you feel right at home.
The food is consistently good, with a homemade feel that adds to the overall dining experience. Service is prompt and attentive, making it a great spot for a casual meal with family or friends. Prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous, offering great value for money.
Overall, Shari’s Cafe and Pies is a solid choice for anyone looking for comfort food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.”
“This was my first experience and it exceeded our expectations! Our food was so delicious! I had the salmon and my husband had the steak and shrimp. Our server was so kind and service was prompt. Will definitely go back!”
“Fantastic food and service! Went for my husband’s birthday. I ordered the pineapple shrimp and they literally fire roasted it at the table. He got the carne Asada, my cousin got a burrito and my son had fajitas! All delicious! They sang him happy birthday and gave him some cheesecake with a firework candle! It was a fun experience with fantastic food.”
“First time. Had Pacific cedar plank salmon and clam chowder. Salmon from Alaska. Best I’ve ever had”
“the food is delicious and always has been every experience I've ever had there which has been several years worth of experiences. This last one if I was to rate one to 10 was a one I had to ask two times for one of the dishes that came with the b meal which I took most of the meal home because I was waiting for that side service was just lousy I've never had this experience there before”
“I've been coming to this place for over 50 years. You will never walk away hungry or regretting anything you ordered. The service was absolutely stellar! Amanda was very attentive to any of our cuisine requests. Are coffee cups were always kept topped off. I'm a very difficult person to please, And they managed to make me feel like a king. I would recommend this place whether you're looking for just a cup of coffee, a full sit-down meal or a quick game of pool or shuffleboard. Fantastic atmosphere.”
“My wife and I had dinner at the Martin Way Red Lobster yesterday. It was by far the best dinner and overall experience we have ever had at Red Lobster. 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.) 👍👍👍”
“The loaded baked potato was amazing with the pulled pork. Every bite melts in your mouth and it's like all your best memories of home cooked meals rolled into one. The baked beans taste like heaven and your first kiss. The cornbread has that perfect, crumbly texture and the side of butter whipped up with vanilla sends it soaring. My only complaint is that there isn't more butter. And my stomach isn't bigger. This place is so good. I was feeling homesick for good food and this place soothed my troubled heart.”
“The meal was good and there is not to many places open late at night. The service was excellent and giving extra credit because my new phone fell out of my pocket (Pixel 9) and they had when I went back to get it a day later. You don't get any better than that.
Thank you Applebee's for a wonderful night.”

“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?”
“I worked at Eagan's at Tumwater Square from 1969-1971 during high school. I look back and realize that Tom Eagan was one of the best bosses I had. Even though I lived out of the area, my children all loved to stop for an Eagan's burger. To this day they uphold the high standards originally established by Loretta Eagan in the 1960s”
“Just finished eating dinner here with my family. Overall experience was excellent!! The food was delicious, the shakes were amazing and our waitress was absolutely awesome!! If you're looking for a nice homey restaurant with great american food and excellent service, this is the place to go. My new favorite!!”
“I have eaten at Halyards Cafe 4 times now, I keep coming back because the food is that good. All hand made breads, buns, chips and sauces. The smash burger and yard chicken sandwich were amazing. If you want all homemade food wonderfully seasoned and cooked to perfection give Halyards a try. Open Thursday thru Sunday; eclectic nautical decor with a cool vibe.”

“I can’t believe it took me so long to try IHOP! When our favorite breakfast spot closed down, I was heartbroken. It had been our little tradition for a long time, and I wasn’t sure anything could replace it. But then we decided to give IHOP a chance—and I’m so glad we did.
From the moment we walked in, I could feel the welcoming atmosphere. Everything was sparkling clean, and the energy of the staff was incredible. There were so many people working, each one busy with their own task, yet everything flowed so effortlessly. It felt like a well-rehearsed dance.
And the food? Absolutely delicious! Every bite was comforting and satisfying, the kind of breakfast that makes you want to slow down and savor the moment. The service was so quick and efficient, yet we never felt rushed. It was the perfect balance.
I was so happy there, I honestly didn’t want to leave. It felt like we’d found a new home for our breakfast outings. IHOP has officially won me over, and I can’t wait to go back again and again. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s an experience. From now on, this is our spot.
P.S. I wish I could reply directly to Aleksander Kotelnikov and his review down below 👇🏻 how pathetic he is. I checked the reviews on his page and I see nothing but a man offended by life and choosing to be a whiny B. You guys are awesome ☺️
