   Festively decorated for the holidays, great cocktails and food as always. Our Olympia go-to for a special dinner. 7 oz. tenderloin, seafood fettuccine and chicken picatta were all deliciously prepared. We started with the Dungeness crab dip which was a perfect starter for all of us. Hard to resist the homemade desserts, our favorite is the berry cobbler. Service always top notch.

   My favorite restaurant in Olympia & beyond. The service is incredible. We had the seasonal burrata, lamb & polenta, seafood pasta, Cioppino with a very reasonably priced bottle of pinot noir. Every bite was delicious. For dessert we shared a peppermint cheesecake (mild peppermint) & an eggnog crème brûlée. The crème brûlée wasn’t the usual custard but more liquidy. We weren’t fans of the crème brûlée. It’s a treat to dine here. Definitely a special occasion place.

   Wow! We loved it from the moment we walked in the door. Lovely ambience, great service from every staff member and the food was delicious. We were seated in a semi-private, cozy space of our own - so glad I made a reservation in advance and mentioned it was our anniversary. There was even a card at our table signed by all of the staff. Wait staff was very attentive but not intrusive, made helpful suggestions and were always so pleasant and genuine. We had the calamari appetizer - I could have eaten that all night and been content, but glad we ordered oysters as well. The herb/chili/champagne mignonette was a perfect compliment to the oysters without overpowering their lovely brine. Fun cocktail list too with house-made liqueurs. The rib-eye steak was one of the best steaks we’ve had and the crab ravioli was simply divine. We especially enjoyed the shaved brussel sprout side. There was a moment of hesitation when we drove up as the building itself is so unassuming, but once we stepped inside, we knew it was going to be a special evening.

   We had the seafood fettuccine and the 12oz rib eye both were wonderful. First time there.

   Gardner’s is always such a lovely experience (and treat) that we don’t do as much as we should! It’s a celebration of life, friends, and spectacular food - every time. Looking forward to our next visit!

   Our first experience here was wonderful. The service was outstanding (Alex shines!) and the food was scrumptious! Ambiance was warm and inviting. Top tier all the way!

   The Seafood fettuccini with cream sauce was outstanding as were the scallops. Service was excellent and wait staff was knowledgable and attentive. Very nice atmosphere.
