New American Restaurants near Tumwater, WA

“I'm a food snob. I can cook very good and expect better from places I go. Hands down, this was the best food I've ever had at a restaurant. The service was ridiculously amazing. If you haven't been.... go! We will now frequent here!“

“What a great place! The service, the view, the food, everything was perfect. We enjoyed seating outside in the evening sunshine. We had the cheese fondue which I highly recommend. Finished with the chocolate fondue, it was a delight! I can't wait to go back again.“

“I absolutely love this place! Cannot say enough good things - 90% of the food I've tried has been a 10/10. The biscuits and gravy - both types - are my absolute favorite but their desserts are amazing as are the hand-pies, wraps, and burritos. Definitely recommend to anyone who is plant-based, but also those who are not - my partner eats animal products and he loves this place too!“

“I had the pleasure of trying Kozy’s South Bay In & Out in Olympia today, and I must say, it’s a must-visit for everyone in the area. The burgers are exceptional, with fresh buns and delicious veggie toppings that make each bite a delight. While many rave about the famous Goop sauce at places like Big Tom’s and Eagan’s, there’s a new champion in town—the homemade Garlic Jalapeño sauce at Kozy’s. It’s a flavor explosion that leaves Goop sauce in the dust. Trust me, it’s a Yummo experience you won’t want to miss!“

“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!“

“What a great place to enjoy your favorite steak. A great family owned business in Lacey Washington State. The service was wonderful, great music and the atmosphere was high end. I had the Japanese Wagyu, Piedmontese, 30 Day Dry Age Filet Mignon and a variety of sauces. Would highly recommend Ricardo Kitchen.“

“Cynara happens to be one of my favorite places on Olympia. I didn’t know that Iron Rabbit was the same owner and I wanted to give it a shot as I have passed by it many times before. The food was great! I loved my iron burger. The wedge potatoes weren’t soggy or too big. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I got the garlic ones and the only thing I suggest is to crush or mince the garlic instead of the whole garlic clove, but still very good and it comes down to personal preference. Presentation was great! My dinner partner had the Irish beef stew which just needed a tad bit of more salt, but none the less still very good. We will definitely come here again. The atmosphere…meh…doesn’t match the food, but not bad. Also, definitely get the membership to collect points, it’s worth it!“

“A friend and I decided we wanted some good take out food instead of the usual pizza we always get for ourselves and the kids. We wanted to treat us right. The food was out of this world. I've eaten at a lot of top restaurants over the years, and Cynara is high on my list of favorites. Some friends think it's a little expensive, but once you take your first bite you'll know that it's worth every penny.And no. I don't work for this restaurant.Dietary restrictions: Can get most plates gluten free and that's awesome“

“This amazing place is on Offut Lake about 10 minutes south of Tumwater. The location and atmosphere is so beautiful. The staff are great always very friendly. The have both inside and outside dining. The food is delicious always order the Lemon Twist Prawns for an appetizer they are beyond amazing! They have delicious steaks too! Actually I have never had a bad meal there. I highly recommend it to everyone! If you like spirits they have a wide variety to choose from. This place does not disappoint!“

“Arrived for breakfast/brunch on a weekday only to find out it was weekends only. We decided to stay and try the other fair. They had the best vegan pasta (off menu) my dining partner ever had. They also had fantastic steak fries. I usually don't order steak because it's hard to find exceptional cooks. This was truly exceptional food. The server was wonderful, and very attentive to food restrictions and options. I highly recommend going out of your way to try this restaurant.“

“As close to a true dive bar with good happy hour deals, stiff and cheap drinks,And a really fun trivia experience on Thursdays at 7pm.If you don't like the young and trendy crowd, it's even okay to come here on Fri and Sat nights.“

“Attended a group meet up here. We definitely had A LOT of people in a smaller area. Despite that I felt they kept a good atmosphere with drinks flowing out of the bar. Karaoke was a lot of fun for what seemed like everyone and the sound was awesome. Good job everyone involved. Also the food didn’t get a rating bc I did not eat there.“

“We checked this place out for the first time on Halloween, the prices are reasonable. Kitchen was closed by the time we wanted food so we’ll try it next time. Plenty of options for songs. Karaoke was a blast and the vibe was absolutely there compared to some other karaoke places in the area. Bartender was so sweet as well as the karaoke host. We’ll be returning!“

“Really enjoyed this place! It was hard to find from the street because it faces a parking structure but I'm so glad I did find it! Lots of seating outside with inside having bar seating, long high top communal tables and a few lower tables for groups of 4ish. The staff were so lovely and made great recommendations. We were pleased to know they make non alcoholic beer and refer to them as self care options. My husband couldn't believe he was drinking a hazy ipa non alcoholic beer! And they had even more to choose from! When we were there, the Seahawks were playing and there were only. A few people inside. A great option when you're annoyed with the over crowded sports bar scene. There was only one food truck which we didn't try but the worker there said any outside food is welcome. They do sell snacks such as candy, chips, nuts, microwave ramen, etc. I really liked it here and will be back soon!“

“Went with about 12 people. We all ordered something different from the menu. I myself ordered the Chicken on Jo Jo's. Service was great. Kept checking on our drinks. In no time the food was delivered. It all looked good and everyone said theirs was fantastic. I was only able to eat half of the chicken and Jo's.....there was so much food. Pricing is very reasonable. Place is very clean. Service is fantastic. Would definitely go again.“

“Little hole in the wall with only a few tables. It was quiet and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful. The decor I did not care for, especially the political statements. Business should be politically neutral and catheter to all, despite their believes of affiliations. Restaurants are about hospitality and shouldn't make some feel welcome and other not. I personally don't rake sides, but I felt a bit out of place because the political statements made me feel as if Antifa will walk in any moment and start trashing everything. It was an uneasy feel.Other than that, it was a nice place to eat at.“

“Hearthfire is my go to. It's nice if you need it to be nice, it's casual with being outstanding. Every dish has been great and you cannot beat the atmosphere and food for Olympia. You're right on top of the water.We have had anniversary dates, and plenty of regular dates, quick lunch dates, meet up dinner with girlfriends, absolutely perfect spot for out-of-town guests, I even went to senior prom dinner here! I think the food and atmosphere beats it's sister restaurant "Anthony's" AND is less expensive.Wheelchair accessibility: Concrete /boardwalk flat entry , no stairs“
