While visiting Olympia we had a delightful date night here, on the heated patio. The view over the lake is beautiful, the garden setting homey and comfortable, like visiting a (very lucky) friend's home. I was a little concerned when we entered and I saw the dated interior decor, but our expectations were exceeded. The food was fresh and fantastic (kobe burger, Caesar salad with actual anchovies) and I really enjoyed my generously poured flight of three Italian whites (a bargain at $15). They offer a number of flights with many international choices as well as PNW selections. We had warm service that was probably slow because the resto filled quickly, and the manager took good care of us with a complimentary glass of wine when there was a glitch with our order. We will definitely return for another date night in this hilltop hideaway that feels like a secret spot.
