We don't know Olympia that well but what a lovely little place. Some of the best baked goods I have had since I lived in Germany. Wonderful cinnamon bread (the best ones are the flattest - they have the most butter and sugar density. The kids will love the chocolate covered brownie "popsicles" covered in gummie worms and snakes. There pretzel rolls are also well worth the trip.

New place run by two partners who used to manage great grub at places like the Coastal Kitchen and the Jitterbug.
This is a really bright, clean, family friendly place in Rainer Valley (not too far from Tutta Bella). Wonderful counter service. Great coffee. Delicious hash browns and some of the best "pancakes of the day" anywhere.
Love the hustle and bustle of the place on Saturdays and Sundays.
Have only been there for breakfast but looking forward to dinner too.

Perfect Spot Post Skiing on Snoqualmie
OK, so the food is just fine - huge burgers, curly fries, giant sodas and ice cream. What could be wrong with that after skiing and falling down a lot?

Add to this the fact that the place is covered wall to wall with real 50s car memorabilia and that the manager is a very kid friendly person (although the wait staff is forgetful) and you are all set.

There seem to be a wide variety of opinions about this restaurant.
It is run by Phred Westfall and Laurie Riedeman. It is a bit quirky, it does have a bit of an attitude, but my wife and I had a truly fun dining experience there and will go back soon.
What's quirky? They take no reservations. They only do two seatings - one at 6:00 and one at 8:00. You had better show up quite early to get a seat (by 5:00 or so), given they only have about 20 seats. They have a pretty limited menu - no surprise given how tiny their kitchen is. Also, they don't really have a wine list, they just figure out what you might like and give it to you.
If you don't like waiting and you don't like others choosing for you, then don't go. But, they made it really nice for me while I waited, and I have to say, the choices they made for us were great. In particular Phred kept me well lubricated with really creative drinks and wine - all after he got a sense of what I liked. Each little new drink or bite was really fun. Made a great evening.

If you like hot food, served hot or better yet that you cook yourself, then you should like Korean. And according to our Korean pal, this is the place in Seattle. Brand new, not listed but great. ...
If you like hot food, served hot or better yet that you cook yourself, then you should like Korean. And according to our Korean pal, this is the place in Seattle. Brand new, not listed but great. Terrific bbq at the table. Try the beef tongue and boy are the salads terrific. And of course the Kimchi.
Great family dining too!!

Our whole family loves this place. The pizza is terrific. Crisp. Thin crust. Delicious cheese. The service is great. It is hopping.
When crowded they give out free wine to the adults and pizza sticks to the kids.
Our favorites are the Prosciutto e Rucola and the Spicy Sausage. But the kids cheese pizza is great too.
And don't forget the gelato!

We absolutely love this place. We go at least once a month. From the lovely cocktails (try the Lillet Martini) with delicious little bites accompanying, to the elegant and complex appetizers like the most tender octopus you've ever had, to the beautiful, rich, earthy parmesan chicken soup, to the unique and hearty entree (like best rabbit you've ever had), to the dessert and grappa - the place is just sublime. And the service is personal and courteous and informed. And never rushed. What an evening and an escape!!
