Budd Bay Cafe - Olympia (WA)

5 /5 Jolene: The Bud Bay Cafe located near Mud Bay in Olympia is right by the marinas and it is so much more than a cafe. I love the atmosphere and the location. First of all. Being by the water is amazing for me. We expected to order a simple salad and grilled chicken for lunch until they brought out the fresh specials which were amazing and five star restaurant quality. I ordered halibut and lobster tail wrapped in phyllo dough with a wild rice pilaf and my husband ordered king crab legs with the same sides. We also got the apple tart. All were on the fresh menu. The flavors were fresh and incredibly cooked to order. This is one of my new favorite places to stop by anytime were in this area. I shouldnt forget the service, everyone is very nice and friendly and make sure that youre happy with your order.

5 /5 Jessica Brown: Wandered in looking for something to eat while I waited for my friend to get off work. Sat at the bar and ordered a Lavender French 75 to start while I ordered my Sunset Dinner of fried artichoke hearts, rajun cajun salmon cesar salad, and NY style cheese cake. After I finished my Lavender French, I asked for something Apple and sour and Isaiah did not disappoint with an apple bourbon sour. The fried artichoke hearts are crispy and flavorful. The salmon was slightly sweet, not too fishy and paired well with the candied pecans that topped the cesar salad. I was unable to finish the salad and had to take it to go, as well as my cheesecake. My cheesecake will make a wonderful midnight snack as it looks delicious. Lets not forget the beautiful view as well.

4 /5 C S: Nice place for lunch right on the dock of downtown Olympia. The servers are always polite and consistent. We tried the seafood salad and loved that the first time, second time we stopped in it tasted sweeter and didn’t look this gorgeous. I love the crab cakes. I didn’t like seafood platter and I thought butternut squash pasta was just okay.

5 /5 Rick Valdez: We arrived at 4:00, the perfect time for Happy Hour. Not intentional, but fortunate. I enjoyed the fantastic fried artichoke hearts, even eating the arugula underneath. Next was the tuna burger sandwich. Perfectly cooked, and pink inside. So thick! Knife and fork sandwich. My companion enjoyed the award-winning ( as always ) clam chowder - delicious. Finishing with the Seafood Cobb Salad. Generous amounts of crab and shrimp - and olives :-). Really beautiful, fun place to eat.

5 /5 Nkeiruka Ekwealor: Ive been here a few times. The food is really good. It has changed some since my first visit, but rhe food is really good. The server we had was really attentive, patient, and friendly. A great place to check out if you enjoy seafood.
