1889 Prime Steakhouse - Olympia (WA)

4 /5 Dr. Practice: Good times, pretty good service overall, the waiter was very friendly and helpful. We did have one person at our party who had to get up to get water, and mine was near empty by the time someone filled it. We asked the water person for bread, which he didnt bring us. When we told the waiter he said they would put some in the oven as they were out. So we finally got it right around the same time as our meals. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I am usually a ribeye guy, went NY Strip tonight, which was huge, and good, though I would have rather had gone ribeye. Maybe it was a little over medium rare, and I asked for medium rare. I guess maybe I should have asked for closer to rare with this chef. Just not as flavorful nor as tender.nOne person at the table ordered a chicken salad, which took forever. They also took probably at least 15 minutes to get our bill figured out, we had some gift cards. I dont think it should take 15 minutes though? Its just math right? It was a sweet time. The food is good, but its not as good as the price point, nor as good as Gardners or Ricardos. The desserts are from Jean-Pierres Three16, and they were very good. Will probably go back to JP316 next.

4 /5 Ashley Nicole: Came here for my cousins bachelorette dinner, we knew this place was more upscale and pricey when we came. I got the Ribeye, Garlic mashed potatoes and a drink that i cant remember the name of my bill was $120. The steak was okay, mashed potatoes were a bit dry. Drink was good and strong. We tried the wild mushroom risotto, it was so good. The truffle mac and cheese was not good. Not creamy at all, sauce was lacking creaminess and flavor. Salmon was dry. Dungenous crab dip was good, needed a little salt and pepper.The rolls were ok. Overall just very underwhelming. our server was nice.

4 /5 Jennifer: We came in for a date night wanting to try something new. We had reservations, but the hostess had mixed us up with another, so we still waited 20 mins before being seated. The food was good, but they were out of baked potatoes and Truffle Mac was just plain flavored. Steak was perfect- cooked and flavors! Beautiful presentation. Overall would dine here again!

5 /5 Amanda Binford: We had a wonderful dining experience at 1889 Prime Steakhouse. Our server, Micah, was very nice and personable, and the entire staff was attentive and prompt throughout the evening. We started with seasonal cocktails, French onion soup, and a seasonal salad with blackberry balsamic—everything was fresh and flavorful. For the main course, we enjoyed garlic mashed potatoes, a perfectly cooked surf and turf with filet mignon and lobster tail, and a ribeye steak. Every bite was delicious. Bread at the start of the meal was a nice touch. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, making it easy to talk and enjoy the evening. Reservations made the experience seamless with no wait time. Parking was also convenient—there’s free designated parking on the north side of the building, with the entrance on the east side by the ramp. Overall, an excellent experience with outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

3 /5 Bryan Hay: I really wanted to recommend this steakhouse, but just cant based on the price and wait times. To quickly sum it up, if youre at a steakhouse for a steak, which you probably are and want some sides, youll likely be paying around $120 for your plate. (not including drinks) Example: Aged Ribeye ($80) + Steak Butter ($6) + Mushrooms ($10) + Side of Veggies ($15) + Mashed Potatoes ($13) = $124 For wait times, we waited 15 minutes (with a reservation). Then it was about 1 hour before we got our single appetizer. Then another 30 minutes for the main courses to arrive. At this point we were all starving, and with the sides as shared dishes, our plates seemed barren with the small steaks (see images).
