    This is such a fun place...I can stand there and look at the pics a long time. They had the BEST artichoke dip EVER. I had a wrap that had breaded cactus inside. It worked! Their fries were likely cut on premise. Super friendly service. Fast wifi. I will be back.

    Such a fun find. The atmosphere is eclectic and staff were very kind. As vegans, we found the menu full of options, but vegetarian and omnivores will be very well served also. Portions were very ample (we were stuffed). Before you leave, there is a fun game you can play in the bathrooms trying to name all the pictures.

    three and a half stars. The service is always fantastic, the venue is cute and clean, also great selection of beers. Unfortunately, the food just doesn't have that extra pop. The menu sounds exciting and interesting but unfortunately the food lacks taste and originality. Ordered Ruben sandwich which lacked taste, meat was dry, and bread was soggy. Soup had lots of taste! But was lukewarm. Fried green beans had no taste or spice! Very bland batter. if it hadn't been for the sauce drizzled on top, it would have had no flavor at all.

    Great service! The ribs are tender, moist and meaty. 6 total bones was more than I could eat. Great sauce on the ribs doubled as an awesome sauce for the greens. Wife had the steak and was very happy

    The server was amazing, she was quick and so so kind. However, my low rating is for the food. The burger was very oily and unfortunately, the fries were SO dark and tasted burnt. The oil they were using very clearly needed to be changed. In addition, it appeared that the fries were placed on the plate and had a ton of salt poured on top, making them essentially inedible. Very disappointed considering we let the kitchen know of this and instead of offering to comp just the price of the fries, we still paid full price even though we weren't able to eat half of our meal.

    We both ordered steak salad with the sauce. It was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. The only complaint I had was that there wasn't much salad considering it was a salad, and you're paying $29 for it.

    Had the COHOS Gone Wild Salmon & pan seared Ruby Res Trout - dynamite presentations & taste. Fresh catch with Risotto & fresh greens. And the beer selection, so local, they have the miles to each brewery. Never have I seen that before. Not into fish, beef, pork? Try the vegan & vegetarian menu with loads of non-meat, fish dinners. Had thought we should go again, but not from here, so will have to try something new and hope they live up to the Grill’s high standards.

    Our waitress was very knowledgable about both the drinks and dinner options. She listened to what we drink on a regular bases and helped choose a beer that matched our palette preferences. Vegan menu was amazing! We were not disappointed at all with our experience. Ambiance was relaxing. Cool vibes, good music, great food, amazing service.

    Yep, worth the hype. Hubs said it’s his new favorite in town (we’re relatively new Olympians) and I’m sure we’ll be back soon. Almost the whole menu was intriguing - including the long list of veggie-friendly options. We were pleased with our beer selections, enjoyed the evening special (beef wellington) and the Cajun fried chicken, and overall really liked the atmosphere. Food was really good and the staff were all very kind and attentive. On a Friday evening, we waited about 10 minutes for a table. No big deal. And parking was pretty easily available. Our only knock was the price - it’s impossible to go out for dinner and not spend $70+ for 2 drinks and 2 plates. Just thankful this place was tasty!

    We were driving back from a trip to California on the MC amd needed a pit stop. My lady is GF & DF for food so always has to find something for her. Such a great place, Super neat decor and the food.... OMG!!!!! It was so full.of flavor, tastes amd great portions. Her salad had 2 chicken breasts on it.. Can't wait to visit again. We were also travelling North on the I-5 and although it was in the city, it was very easy to get to and back on the interstate.

    We were, at opening, greeted by the owner with “I’ll be with you in a minute “ as she finished something on her cell phone. Good service from our server. Food just okay for two very hungry people. However, paying extra for wilted & brown boxed lettuce (side salad option) was disappointing. Even more disappointing was the owner (confirmed by wait staff) not coming over to address the issue. Upon confrontation she offered to hand me cash $1.50 back. I prefer to include an honest review & photo for the public. We will not return.

    Spectacular meal in super cool setting in Downtown Olympia. Craving perfect salmon and found it here. Our table enjoyed great burgers and a terrific salad too. Locals at the bar and treasures on every wall. Worth a visit just to see the restrooms. Highly recommend.

    Cool little place with good food!! I had the olyphilly an my gf had the chicken sandwich. Good ingredients, and very tasty. I loved their fries!! Our friends were very excited by the vegetarian/ vegan menu. They said there was a lot of options compared to a typical menu. They both were happy with their meals.

    This is a cute little place in down town oly. Had a strong family vibe and kiddos around ever at 9pm on a Friday night. Good little menu, no hard liquor, they serve wine and beer. I tried a lavender lemonade sake drink it was just okay. I'm not a beer/ wine drinker so not really my cup of tea. I would return to try some food items though.

    The menu has too many good choices! The Creole fried chicken sandwich was super crunchy outside and juicy inside, pub bun is really good. The steak on the indochine baguette was reeeeally good and also that bread was whoa. Have to say, the poutine stole the show. Must get! I first came in intrigued by the vegan menu but the entire menu has such good options (lots of gluten free too!) Must come back for sure.

    Love this spot. What an absolute treat!! The chef/owner and staff are all 10/10. Dogs are allowed/encouraged. We’ve been multiple times and I always allow the staff to randomly select my meal. They have her to deliver. The pictures and the history all over the walls really make for the perfect decor. Will be back!

    Oh my god!!! This place was amazing!! Best salmon I've had in my life, perfectly crispy and delicious. I've heard everything else was delicious, too, and the brown sugar pie was to die for. Service was great and I love the vibes!

    Attention vegans! This is THE spot to hit up if you're in Olympia. Skip Wayside and try out Cascadia- seriously, you won't be disappointed. I'm so stoked to find a spot with a whole vegan menu of food that actually tastes good. I got the Cajun penne and my sweetie for the blackened chicken tortellini- we both loved our meals and took home the leftovers. Portions are huge, outdoor seating available- what's not to love?

    Got garlic steak. One of the better ones I had in my life. A bit pricey at $32. Great service. Good atmosphere. There were a lot of photos of people on the walls. Probably of famous people. Great service all together. Will try them again for some special occasion.

    Did you ever go to a restaurant where you want to read every item in detail and just try everything? Well, this is your place!! Amazing dinner, menu, atmosphere. Not loud, yet lively. Owner was so warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend. Dishes were creative and something for everyone!

    I’ve reviewed a great number of bar and grills and this is definitely one of my favorites! I love the atmosphere (it is Pacific Northwest themed). The beers were fantastic. The food was great. And the bartenders are friendly. I would definitely recommend this stop anytime!

    We are only in town a couple days. Walked by yesterday and the place looked good so we came back today to check it out. We sat at a booth for a while and watched some Monday Night Football. The interior is decorated with a mix of Pacific Northwest and icons. It is fun to around and identify different items. Once we got service it was great. We waited about 20 minutes. Not sure what happened there but the next booth that was seated after us were waited on quickly with drink orders right away and checked on frequently. We eventually flagged someone down to ask if we could order and flustered at first by hearing we hadn't received service they helped us out the rest of the time and it was good from there on out. Thank you, Rowan! I asked to sample some IPAs, and for food suggestions, and we ordered food and desserts. The keg blew of the beer I intended to order so Rowan suggested another and it was delicious. We had the coho with the fried risotto cake, grilled romaine, Reuben with side salad, cheesecake of the day, brown sugar pie, and the vegan cheesecake. The menu here is impressive and there's a whole veggie/vegan menu as well as omni options. When I'm back in town I would come back for the food and maybe watch another game. Probably sit at the bar next time instead.

    This place was pretty good. Marinara sauce didn’t have too much flavor but still wasn’t too bad. The potatoes were AMAZING, nice crunch on the outside soft on the inside and full of flavor. Steak was honestly pretty great. Sicilian cake was tasty and looked great. Some others at my table got vegan options and said all of it was great. So if you’re looking for some vegan stuff this is definitely the place to go. 10/10 recommend. Lastly, the service was great.

    Cascadia Grill has a nice décor and atmosphere. They had live music, which was pretty good. The menu looks exciting and interesting, but unfortunately the food lacks character. I ordered the Steak Frites Bleu which came topped with the Gorgonzola and Bleu Cheese cream sauce on top of the steak, it was not cooked medium and they replaced the dish for me, I asked them to put the sauce on the side and I was able to taste steak instead of the sauce. The steak was good, but definitely pricey, like everything else in the Washington state.

    Diamond in the rough! Restaurant downtown that you'd drive right by if you weren't paying attention. Food= delicious, service= prompt & polite, and atmosphere to match! We had the bratwurst burger, twice-baked artichoke, Reuben sandwich, and the indochine baguette. All excellent and will definitely be back here for round 2,3,4,etc..

  • 4/5 Ashley F. 10 months ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the ambiance. I got soup and salad, and unfortunately, I'd say both were just OK. I probably would have enjoyed the grilled romaine more with a different dressing. The others I was dining with enjoyed their meals a lot more. Admittedly, the starter mozzarella sticks were delicious!

  • 2/5 Jennifer M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, nice location, we enjoyed the live music, and server (Daniel) was good. It took a long time to get the food on a Wednesday night before 6pm. Prices are a bit high. I ordered A Hen crossed the road, unfortunately the hen was ok but not really juicy and the potatoes were too hard to eat. I did let them know and was still charged full price. I took it home to see if I could doctor it up and make it edible since I paid so much. We will see.

    My daughter and I brought our elderly dog in to have lunch with us because today is her last day and we wanted to make it a special day. We had a hard time keeping it together and basically sobbed our way through lunch. The whole crew was so kind and attentive. They even made her a burger, a side of bacon and a huge pup cup of whipped cream! Special shout out to Andrea and Roger for the compassion and empathy. They both shared their own stories and could not have been more accommodating. They covered lunch for us even though we were not expecting that at all. Thank you for making a painful time an unexpectedly positive experience!
