Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near Olympia, Washington

Nate Croy Gotta say, this was one of the hands down best dinners we have had in a minute. Food, seasonal drinks, and service were incredible. Our server Sky led us to some tasty selections like the Honey & Maple glazed chicken wings (just spicy enough and sweet) and the Gorgonzola and Pear salad with Pork Belly. Their salads and grain bowls are no joke. We’ll see you in the morning for brunch, Sky!

Hallie Gillette Amazing pasta, was full of flavor, with a full plate. Our waitress was very kind and only came by to check on us which was perfect for me and my fiance. My only complaint would be not enough people inside! Quick, delicious, and only 60$ even with us taking home so much leftovers!!

Lincoln Ward I can see how this place is award winning! Everything is fresh, made from scratch. Delicious pizza and pasta. Great atmosphere and outstanding service. We will be back! Highly recommend!!

Fire Princess Reviews Im not big on Seafood, but the people I was with were. And they said that their seafood was great. Me meat and potatoes kinda gal, so I got the Prime Rib. It was EXCELLENT. Cleaned my plate. The service was also great, the waitress was right there when you needed her. It was just a good experience overall.

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.

Denise Ball My husband and I had the 3 course meal. It included clam chowder, fish and chips and slice of cheesecake. It was very good. The food came out hot and fresh. Large portions. Would recommend.

Rhlm This place has been for 30 years!! They take making pizza very serious. Fun hip music! The staff is great. A must visit and support local business type of place. Plus video games in the back and yes they take quarters!!

Joshua Esparza First visit and everything was great food, service, the overview of the water, and overall appearance of the restaurant. Absolutely amazing coming back!

Owen Thompson Charro or Dos Nombres as I call it with all of the El Sarape signage still visible is a lovely east Olympia family Mexican restaurant. It has fun decor, comfortable booths, friendly, and a great selection of enchiladas

Anjuli Webster Had a great early dinner the other day with friends. There were five of us and we had a reservation but it seemed quiet enough on a Tuesday that you may not have to wait long for a table. I had the 3 course sunset dinner that included an appetizer, main course and a dessert. Online menu showed more options than were actually available in store. I had the shrimp cocktail which was advertised as large prawns I believe but they didn’t look like large prawns. They were definitely overcooked and rubbery with not much flavor in the shrimp themselves. The main course was delicious, but the shrimp here also had a rubbery overcooked texture. The burnt cream was delicious. I also had a raspberry nojito which was delicious. Our server Ian was great and very accommodating.

Edward Nunes Lovely dinner here. Excellent service, everyone was friendly and our waiter was just the right amount of attentiveness. Food was delicious. I had their special: a Salmon in garlic sauce that was delicious. My partner had their vegan sloppy joe and also loved it. They have a whole vegetarian menu in addition to their regular menu. This will be a great spot to go with our meat-eating friends where everyone has a good selection to choose from.

K Watts We visited at an odd time of day… a Friday at 4 ish. I think they were preparing for the rush because our sushi came faster than any sushi place I’ve ever visited. Super fresh and delicious. I think their Cali rolls are the best we’ve had. I always order Cali rolls in case the other rolls aren’t great but everything was so good. The edemame was PLENTIFUL. They so many menu options it was hard to choose. Our favorite is the sushi house roll.

Stephen Northcutt We were expecting to host another couple that had to back out at the last minute, but that was our gain. I had the lamb burger and upgraded to the polenta fries. The fries were excellent, burger was tasty, but really messy. My wife had the curry with shrimp added, it was a good curry with a hint of citrus. Service was excellent, but it was a snowy day and that reduced traffic.

Megan Harris So yum!!! Our server was very nice and the food and drinks came out much faster than I would think for a busy Friday night! It is not a cheap restaurant by any means, but definitely not overpriced! We sat outside on the patio but it has a lovely vibe on the inside too!!
