Only thing I suggest is some soft music during open hours. Most of our dining visit they had no music playing.

enjoyed the lovely outside patio and great food on a Saturday afternoon. We had the butter leaf lettuce and quinoa, seared ahi, and brie and bruschetta. All were great and the brie and bruschetta was excellent (with the rose champagne). Service was perfect.

Best food in Olympia, in my opinion. We had the halibut risotto, which was flavored with a lovely lemon hint. They also have wine flights for the indecisive. Outdoor seating with a gorgeous view of the capital lake park and out into the harbor. This is now our go-to for special occasions and out-of-town visitors.
Opentable Diner
My only comment is the flies and IDK if there is anything the restaurant can do about them. We were seated outdoor and there were just many of them the entire time we were there.
Marie
Enjoyed a birthday dinner here with several friends. Views were great. Property is beautiful. Wine flight options are solid. And the food was delicious!! Will be back for sure.
Kristie
Delicious food. Fun atmosphere. Quaint. Lovely outdoor eating area overlooking Capitol Lake.
Cindy
We dined outside. I love the decor. Our server was so knowledgeable on the wine choices and very patient with my picky friend! We all chose different wine flights and enjoyed the meat and cheese platter, and green curry chicken skewers. Presentation was beautiful. I will be a regular!
Dawn
Just an okay experience. Our first three choices of wine were not available. Not a great first impression for a wine bar. As for the food, very eclectic menu. The tenderloin most definitely was the star. Server could have been better at explaining the components of some dishes, especially the very spicy ones.

I had the salmon and substituted the couscous with coconut rice. Got plain rice, very little of the cranberry relish and no noticeable seasoning on the salmon. Very boring meal for the price.

Swing is the best. Gotta go at least once a season/once every new menu. Our spring visit was excellent, the patio picturesque, and the Ragu was exquisite. Also the cocktails are varied and decadent; rotating wines foreign and domestic. Gem of a spot.

We had such a great time here! The highlights for us were definitely the drinks, the outdoor seating, and the amazing view. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Every single thing we ate and drank was absolutely delicious—so much so that I didn’t even think to take any pictures before digging in. Everything was super flavorful and clearly made with care. The drinks were creative and refreshing, and the setting made the whole experience feel like a little escape. I’d definitely come back, especially on a nice day when we can sit outside again.

This place is such a cute date spot. My partner and I weren't wow'd by the food. But the service was AMAZING. The people here really care. We are going to come back when it's warm so we can sit outside. I feel like that's where this place really shines. The views are spectacular.

Appetizers are okay. Drinks are okay Atmosphere is okay. Little old place could use some roof repair. With the money they bringing in I swear the thought the place was going to cave in. I dnt know what they are cooking but the mash potatoes was salty and unflavored, the salmon taste salty and cheap. Like seriously. Uhmm no, I would recommend Primo in Tacoma if you want some Quality food. This is certainly a no go. Fruit pie lord have mercy. Was just awful. Service very good. Slow on drinks (solution for you, hire more than one bartender )Why should we have to wait on drinks like come on.
To many cameras in the restaurants, can we eat the nasty food in peace. No one wants to take your cheap chairs and your falling down ceiling candles. Hell the candle was half lit and one was tilt.
Spider web in the right corner should be your concern.

All of our food was great! Loved the ambiance and look forward to sitting on the patio in the summer months. We had a great New Zealand Pinot Noir which was suggested by our server, excellent recommendation!
