- JJackieVIPLos Angeles •23 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoTypically the food is great though a bit pricey, depending on what you order. This time I tried the fish tacos, with a choice of cod or ahi tuna. I chose the tuna and was very disappointed. I was expecting a "poke" like tuna taco. Fish was, to me, overcooked; you couldn't taste that the fish was ahi tuna. I ate as much as I could then left the rest. I didn't complain because maybe that's what the chef thought was normal. Next time, I'll stick with either the seafood "martini" - delightful seafood with a cream sauce, served in a martini glass with buttery toast or the shrimp and cake. Service was stellar.More infoDockside BistroPrice: Expensive• Northwest• Olympia•4.7
- PPaulaSeattle / Eastern Washington •5 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 22, 2024Always a warm, welcoming space to share some delicious food and a great cocktail, or two! It is our go to place when we want to feel comfortable, yet still a bit spoiled. Tom at the bar is a fun bartender who crafts cocktails with care. Simply a great ambiance, even on cold, dark, winter nights!More infoSwing Wine BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Olympia•4.8
- ARAmethystRayneSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 29, 2023Using Open Table to get on the list is perfect for weekend nights when places tend to be more busy during peak times. Our meal was great, our server was amazing, very friendly, very attentive, and you don't always get that anymore. My only complaint about this particular location is that it needs a serious table and seating remodel! Our booth's vinyl was peeling, the table had a lot of chips in it, and we have sat in other booths that have had vinyl peeling or holes in it. During the down time of Covid would have been a great time to do that like many other places did. But I'm guessing that they are also still trying to recover from the financial losses as well. I hope their corporate office does them a solid and gets that taken care of soon. Otherwise, our night was great!More infoRed Lobster - OlympiaPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Olympia•4.2

Across Seattle, there are many perfect patios for sipping cocktails, lakeside venues with skyline views and fresh seafood, and cozy backyards to enjoy al fresco dining. So while the sunshine doesn’t last long in the Emerald City, as summer inches closer, here are a few of the best places in the city to visit for excellent food and drinks outside.
The 10 Greatest Restaurants in Seattle
There’s great seafood to be consumed in Seattle, but it’s only the beginning of what the Emerald City has to offer. Boasting one of the country’s most creative and diverse dining scenes, Seattle is dedicated to sourcing locally—from land to sea. Storied restaurants, from Canlis, the pinnacle of Pacific Northwestern fine-dining, to chic modern hangouts like the Walrus and the Carpenter, prove Seattle’s range and prowess. And even as the city’s changed over the last decade, growing and evolving under a massive tech boom, its soul remains as vibrant and bold as ever.

Discover Olympia
Sixty miles southwest of Seattle at the southern end of Puget Sound is Olympia, Washington state's capital city. A fine arts hub, the city is equally well-known for its eclectic shopping and dining scene. Complement regional faves like fish-and-chips, all things meat and potatoes, and sandwiches and barbecued burgers topped with Walla Walla sweet onions (the state veggie) with sustainably sourced baked goods, homemade tamales, and crepes filled with chocolate hazelnut sauce and poached pears. Looking for hearty yet affordable eats coupled with platefuls of calorie-rich (but oh so good!) sides? In the mood for romantic European cuisine paired with award-winning wines? Prefer gluten-free alternatives? It's all here. And while Seattle gets all the coffee buzz, Olympia has a robust coffee culture that includes one-of-a-kind java blends.
