Vegas quality food. Amazing food that will not disappoint. Ahi tacos were the best we’ve ever had. Crab cake was beautiful prepared and scallop fettuccine was super light and fresh.

We had an incredible meal at the Dockside Bistro & Wine Bar! The ambiance was beautiful, simple but elegant on the Percival Landing boardwalk. We enjoyed a delicious Italian red blend wine and tasty NW craft ale. The house made Caesar salad was tangy, creamy, and a lovely compliment to the dungeness crab bisque (which was sublimly gentle and rich in flavor, tasting of rich crab in every bite). We split the white fish of the day: a completely elevated take on a waterfront comfort food of fish and chips, except the fish was a gorgeous, moist piece of Alaskan halibut in a perfectly crispy and savory pistachio crust, the potatoes soft gnocchi in a spicy arugula pesto cream sauce instead of fries and tartar, and the garnish of arugula, carrot and cabbage tossed in a sweet vinaigrette upstaging the traditional coke slaw to tie it all together. We heard a rumor that the chef and his spouse, our server, are buying the place. It couldn’t be in better hands–we will be back soon and with great anticipation. Bon Appetit!

Some of the best food I have had in a while! Th seafood cocktail was DELICIOUS! So flavorful and a good amount of seafood in it. The salad and their house made goat cheese was so good! Not only was the food delicious but the service was good too! Definitely recommend and will be coming back!

Very good! Started with the calamari & delicious trio of dipping sauces. I enjoyed the five spice duck. My husband loved the crusted cod. Our son devoured the crab bisque. Finished our meal with the vanilla bean & orange liqueur crème brûlée. Service was wonderful. Fun view of the marina.

This restaurant has a beautiful view of the harbor and sunset. Great location and atmosphere. Our waitress was nice but seem like it took forever for the food and desserts to arrive. Overall slow service allows us to get comfortable with each so I guess in some way isn’t so bad after all.

This is a fine-dining restaurant. It has a quiet atmosphere. It has the best food in Olympia. It is quite expensive, but that’s because you are getting what you pay for. The Elk Duet is one of the best tasting things I’ve had at any restaurant, full-stop. Go here at least once.

The food was nothing spectacular. I had the fish tacos, and it lacked good flavor. It was also almost too salty. Their fries were meh. The waiter was not attentive enough. He brought our soda drinks and was not seen again until our food was done. At that point, I just wanted the check so we can leave. I think he started to have his hands full once more customers came in. He was the only waiter I saw there.

Great staff and service but the food was a little underwhelming. The sea scallops were over cooked. Resulting in a chewy and spongy characteristic. The filet was ordered medium and came out medium-well. The potatoes for both plates were over cooked. Basically everything except the veggies were over cooked. When paying $40 a plate, I’m going to be expect a high result. The crab chowder was very tasty and the French 75 cocktail was great. $5 for bread fresh hot bread that most restaurants make customary is a little odd. That said, cute place with great view of the docks and inlet but lacks value and execution.

Good! It’s a little hard to find tucked in a poorly lit parking lot (for dinner that is). It’s cozy inside and overlooks the bay.I had the bisque and the scallops and they were superb! Very friendly staff and fast service. I would recommend for a nice quiet dinner!
