19 Best Salad Restaurants near Olympia

“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 great food, some of the best Japanese food around. Loved the salmon teriyaki, the saba, and the sushi, and the service was fantastic. They cleared a table for a large group that had no reservation within only about a minute after the last group left.“

“My husband wanted to surprise me with date night and decided to take me to Olive Garden since I've never eaten here before. I was excited and nervous to try it since I've heard very mixed reviews from a lot of people, but I left feeling quite satisfied with what we ordered and the amazing service.

For an early evening dinner on a Friday night, the wait was non-existent to our surprise and we were seated immediately. We were getting a little worried though because after being seated, we were waiting at our table for about 5-10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. Thankfully, after flagging down someone and getting momentarily helped by a different waiter, our own waiter, Jonathan, showed up and apologized for the wait. Jonathan's demeanor, professionalism, cheerful attitude and humor saved the experience from going downhill.

My husband and I ordered some drinks (which were amazing!), and calamari to share which was crispy and flavorful while paired with the 2 dipping sauces it came with. The restaurant had a special going on in which we could order soup or salad and pasta of our choice as much as we wanted. My husband ordered the Zuppa Toscana soup and created his pasta to have Italian sausage, five cheese marinara and angel hair. I ordered the Chicken & Gnocchi soup with fettuccine alfredo and crispy chicken. Everything was so good, the portions were decent and all the food had incredible flavor. The breadsticks were fresh and so fluffy; we enjoyed dipping them in our soups.

We loved that with this deal they send you home with a pasta to go, so we both customized another pasta each and also ordered dessert to go (we got the Pumpkin Cookie Butter Cheesecake and Black Tie Mousse Cake which were both so good!).

Overall, we both very much enjoyed our time at Olive Garden and were very happy to have Jonathan as our waiter; it's not often we get outstanding service from a waiter so this was one to remember! We've love to return in the future, and hopefully we can get Jonathan as our waiter again!“

“Last night we got burgers, fries, and a milkshake to share. Loved everything about it. The bun super soft, the shoestring fries crispy and hot, and the milkshake was to die for. Grill and Greens has come back with a bang!“

“Hoy acudí al restaurante por primera ves quedé fascinado el servicio excelente y sin contratiempos a pesar de estar lleno en su totalidad,la comida muy rica el personal pasear del cupo lleno se esforzaron y quedaron a la altura del servicio que ofrecen,las bebidas de lo mejor que eh probado,muy recomendable 100% calidad y atención de lo mejor“

“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“

“The name was familiar to us, but we weren't sure why. We've never been here and according to Google, there are no other locations. We must have seen the name on their drinks at grocery stores. Anyway, we saw several appealing choices for dinner, but decided on the salmon and the chicken poke bowl. First time for both of us with poke. It was very good, except for the excessive amount of dressing. Next time we'll know to ask for less or on the side as we generally do with salads. The price was a bit high for the amount you get. We got about 1.33 meals as compared to the equivalent cost of teriyaki which would provide 2+ meals for us.
The employees was courteous and patient, as we took awhile to decide. A couple people came in while we ate, but it wasn't busy on a Sat late afternoon.“

“Fast and friendly service“

“My husband and I had a date night at 23 Kitchens and will definitely be going back! The drink options are amazing (my fave was the lavender lemon drop), the food is delicious and the cornhole/outdoor games are an added bonus. Highly recommend!“

“Really great burger! Not like regular burgers. Fresh ingredients and bread. Unique sauce. Killer fries. highly recommended!“

“We have lived in several places and have tried lots of places here and elsewhere that sold banh mi sandwiches but these are the best banh mi sandwiches we have had! We think they might make their own buns because they are so very tasty and just as good as the fresh baguettes we had when we lived in France! The sandwich ingredients are fresh and flavorful and we especially love the wonderful paté they include on them, unless you tell them you are vegetarian or vegan. They make the paté themselves and it is also as delicious as any we used to have in France! We like their rice bowls too. If you haven’t been to the “Toast Mi”…located in Lacey…we highly recommend seeking it out and giving it a try. If you like banh mi sandwiches, you will be happy that you did!“

“Took the Family tonight to try this place out. It is reminiscent of a place we enjoyed going to NC. Everyone really enjoyed the food, and being able to decide what to put in their bowls/wraps. Portions were large enough for two meals for me and the kids and to satisfy the husband after a long run today. Also happy the online menu listed what was gluten-free and other allergens.

Dietary restrictions: Online menu has allergens listed!“

“Hello there! I love this location <3.

I was there a couple weeks ago and had the best service by this young lady who had a long braid kind of on the side and a cute piercing on the left side of her nose. She was fast at checking me out, double checked my order, and gave me all the sauce I asked for.

We chit-chatted about how she's been getting looked at by D1 schools for a sport I can't remember now! I can tell she's a hard worker and they train their staff super well. I highly recommend this location:)!“

“Good good ,very tasty. Staff was helpful. Will definitely visit again . You might want to at least add one handicap table for those of us who can’t sit on the short stools.“

“Great quality ingredients (Sysco Food!!!) and good prices!

Vegetarian options: Unlimited options!

Parking: The parking stalls facing the building are challenging but the parking lot facing the side of the building has plenty of accessible parking.

Kid-friendliness: The stores lobby is clean and they have a bench for you and your family to sit on while they wait ??“

“Every bite of Miso is the equivalent of your taste buds having a rave inside your mouth.“

“Cleanest MOD in the area! I love the pizza here and concept but I see other MOD be so dirty with cross contamination and not changing their gloves (one time I had to ask an employee at the Yelm highway one to change the gloves he had on at the register before making my pizza), but the staff at this one is very clean and change their gloves appropriately. So glad to have at least one MOD that I can come to!“

“What happened to the Madagascar Vanilla Cinnamon Rolls? Did you change the recipe, the type of flour? What happened? The first time I had one was about a month ago. They were outstanding! Fluffy and literally melted in your mouth. I ordered two today. The dough is gritty. A different texture. It's an issue! Lack of consistency concerns me. Absolutely not the same quality as I had before. Either its not the same recipe, a different type of flour or the baker changed. In any case, I'm stuck with two of them. I wish I had a better review.“
