15 Best Seafood Restaurants in Olympia

“Gardner’s hits it out of the park every time! Amazing food, amazing staff!“

“We used the larger private dining room for a celebration and it was a fantastic experience. The food was great, our server Jazzlynn (I hope I spelled that right) was very attentive, the manager Sabrina organized everything perfectly. I highly recommend if you are having a gathering!“

“Excellent take out seafood and breakfast stop located at the year-round farmers market. They specialize in Benedict’s and fresh baskets of fried goodies, as well as chowder and a couple other breakfast items. We’re particularly fond of the clam strips and maple salmon Benedict, though we do miss the crab cakes.
This place does now take card for a nominal fee, and plenty of seating is available in the commons, though it can get crowded on the weekends especially if there’s live entertainment.“

“Food service and quality!“

“This was a very solid Red Lobster, the overall decor and aesthetic of this location is very traditional. It was clean and satisfactory. The areas of opportunity with this Red Lobster revolve around the service which was lacking to a small degree. Granted we had a large party so I'm extending some grace. Our food was also delayed for a few item's an example is an appetizer that didn't arrive till after our entree's. With that said the food was very satisfactory. One stellar point being the brussel sprouts which were the best part of my meal I highly recommend.“

“First time. Had Pacific cedar plank salmon and clam chowder. Salmon from Alaska. Best I’ve ever had“

“We have been coming to this restaurant for many years and have always enjoyed finer restaurants and hotels. The food is consistent and the pork chops with basil butter are excellent, the clam chowder is not overly spiced and the staff are very professional. We drive a long way to eat here, even if we dont gamble.“

“So so good and very nice people. Will go again.“

“This was our first time eating here. Our waiter, Terran, have impeccable service! He was friendly, smiling, full of suggestions, not pushy though. And once we decided from the mariott of delectable choices, our food came out hot, fast and delicious! Some of the best fish n chips I've had in years! We will definitely be making this a regular stop when traveling South!“

“What a fantastic find! I am so rarely impressed when I go out, but Chicory was absolutely incredible! So inspired and inventive! Everything was absolutely delicious! My taste buds and soul were so happy. Had the scallops, carrots, smoked potatoes and biscuits. I cannot wait to return and try more of the amazing menu! Service was wonderful. Very sweet husband and wife owned place. Only regret is that I hadn't tried it sooner. What a gem! Thank you Chicory!“

“An absolutely amazing dining experience. The food is out of this world! Everything is a party for your tastebuds, from the first bite to the last. I highly recommend this family owned business!“

“This place is great ! Awesome beer , food and LIVE MUSIC !“

“The food is consistently delicious. Great staff. Beautiful view.“

“some of the best chicken fried steak I have had in a long time, and the service was fast, today was my wife's first time there and she loved it“

“I came in the afternoon and I ordered the Breakfast sandwich and the Hot Wings on the menu. The Breakfast sandwhich was the kind of delicious that makes you role your eyes in surprise and was easily worth $6. After I devoured that I was brought my hotwings. Even just smelling the hotwings cleared out my sinuses and made my mouth water with urgency. The taste is perfect, the wings are large and the spicey level is perfect. Just enough real burn from real hot wings without needing to douse yourself in water. This place has the best food prices in town on food and that Tavern fare you already love.
Now onto the other parts of 4th Ave Tavern. The interior reminds me of a frontier tavern, with a worn away floor and that Washington wood interior that is so common in Seaside and mountain Washington towns. The building is clearly old and I wonder how patrons have pass through here since its construction. There are plenty of bar games and pool tables and a side patio. On the weekend nights this place is jammed with locals and those in town looking for a good time. Even with the crush of people all around, I still navigated my 80 pound puppy through here with ease. Every one was polite and kind and I enjoyed the atmosphere along with a drink. My review is, come here and eat and drink and watch Seahawks games. Mind your manners!“
