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.

Cafe • $
“Willis makes the best scones I have ever tasted, the coffee is also very good!
We discovered his bakery by chance, the atmosphere is him and his music!
I would stop in Olympia just for his scones. His suggestion of seeing Tumwater falls was appreciated. Looking forward to our next visit!”
Sandwich Shop • $
“Fifth on Fourth is an absolute gem! This small, family-owned sandwich shop serves up delicious, fresh food at very reasonable prices. But what really sets them apart is the kindness and energy of the people behind the counter. No matter how busy they are, they greet every customer with a smile and genuine warmth. Even my 11-year-old niece noticed how friendly they are—especially impressive when the place is swamped! It’s the kind of spot that makes you feel welcome every single time. We’ll definitely be back again and again!”

I had vegan bulgogi bento with miso soup, and my son had teriyaki and yum yum chicken, which he said was incredible. The server was super sweet, pointing out the vegan options and very attentive. Food was out fast and generous portions! Can’t wait to go back.”

Ice Cream Shop • $
“Love this ice cream! Our grandson is allergic to dairy, not lactose intolerant, actually allergic. Last night we took her and his sister for ice cream. He got dairy free chocolate. About an hour later he got hives. This could be from cross contamination from regular ice cream. I was wondering if you have a policy of only using clean ice cream scoop’s for the dairy free flavors. A larger amount of dairy could cause him an anaphylactic reaction.”

I will recommend this restaurant to everyone and I will be returning... often. :)”

“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.”

Steak House • $$
“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.”

Indian • $
“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 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!”
American • $$
“Great Italian-style pizza, fine assortment of brews, friendly staff and a fun playlist. But what makes this place so special is the ambience under the old-growth trees, just steps from pristine Deep Lake. Whether you're enjoying a picnic table or a big Adirondack chair, there IS no other place like it!”

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.”

“My family and I have been coming here for YEARS! This place is hands down the BEST pho around! We come here a lot and never have we ever had one complaint. My daughter loves it and has been eating at this place since the womb and she is now 2 and always asking to come here ☺️.
The place is always clean, the staff and owner are amazing and sweetest people who work hard and are always on top of it, the pho broth is the BEST I’ve ever had and all of the food is always amazing and the portions are incredible! This place is not at all over priced and you get a lot for what you pay for and it’s always super good! If I could give this place a hundred stars I would! They definitely need to be in one of those “top places to eat” articles.
We recently tried the Snow chicken and we were lost for words, the Best KFC (Korean fried chicken) IMO. Stop thinking about it and just get up and go and get some bangin food from this place!!”

“I always make it a point to go to Row when in town on business. Staff is always good and so is the food. But, today was different. Long day at work for an audit. I had a raging headache. 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.”

“Delicious food and very kind staff and beautiful restaurant! The food is delicious as well as visually appealing. Dinging 1 point because an item was missing from my pick up order and they said they’re unable to refund the item, and that they’d have to refund the entire order. They did offer a free replacement the next time I order, but I’m visiting from out of town so I would suggest they acquire a POS system that is able to accommodate such needs.”

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.”

“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.) 👍👍👍”

“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.”

“I had the privilege of speaking with the many staff on site. They explained exactly why there was a wait for service when I asked and did so professionally and politely. I had very good service from everybody.. but I want to highlight a gentleman tonight by the name of “yo” he was energetic and so positive/ light hearted that I needed to speak with a manager of his service and also needed to leave an online review. There’s been a decline in customer service recently from many restaurants but “yo” has given me faith! I hope anybody who reads this review meet “yo” and understand your getting the full apple bees experience here in Olympia!”

Korean • $$
“Food: Food is great.
Service: the service is feel strange about the ladies sometimes but when it not busy at all (my family are the only ones there) one of the ladies just keep watching us I feel weirded out about that. Buttttt she does give good refill of tea so 4 star, and also the other ladies are very nice Korean ladies.
Atmosphere: when a place looks dirty from the inside and outside that basically means the food is easily 5 star because they spend more money on the food than the place like cmon people this place should be at least 4.3 stars on the scale in my opinion.”

“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.”

“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”

“Self-serve chips and salsa. Everything tasted fresh. I nice mixture of seating options - tables, bar, booths. Pretty hot inside. Was seated immediately. Service is fantastic. Kind and very attentive. I had the flautas which were delicious!!! The chicken is very well seasoned and juicy. Crispy flautas and good toppings. The salsas were way better than most. Feels pretty authentic.”

“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.”

“Although we regret not eating in as it looked cozy, the food was absolutely amazing and well balanced. There wasn’t any wait time and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything was well packed in the to go bag, there was no missing items, and they provided utensils. The portions were great for the size. 10/10 would eat here again if in the area.”

“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.”

“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?”

“late night and starving, both me and my mom were in pain. Food was tasty, would recommend it. Cannolini was great, if thats how it's spelled. I had the spinach cheeese ravioli. Soft and not overdone in flavors, very nice.
Waitress was super sweet and cheery even at the late hour. Did great. Answered questons happily.
Not too loud but not silent place, the music was great, and overall seemed like a clean and good place to eat. Would go again.”
