    Beet risotto with seafood of the day added.

    Another delicious meal at Bar C'est L'eau! Great food, great vibes. And the service this evening was the best yet!

    Half of the huge bowl of butternut squash soup. Cropped out the huge spoonfuls of soup I'd already eaten.

    Fantastic food! Have been a few times & food and service is always excellent! Today's special mushroom omelette & the best butternut squash soup is the best we've ever had! You must go! A new Olympia Area gem. I had the roasted chicken & potatoes crepe made as an omelette special order. They should add a roasted chicken plate entree to the regular menu. The roasted chicken was moist & bursting with flavor. Best breakfast brunch in town

    I love that the menu constantly evolves with the seasons. Every time there's something new I can try. Today's stand out at lunch was the heirloom tomato and stone fruit salad. I paired it with a grilled summer squash sandwich and a latte. It was perfect for this rainy August afternoon. This place just opened a few months ago and they're still learning what works and trying things out. There's a passionate, kind, and dedicated team working here. I look forward to seeing them grow as they are one of the few restaurants in the Olympia area that I keep coming back to. If you're lucky enough to be served by Carlo ask him for a wine recommendation. He won't let you down!

    Duck cassoulet - my mouth was burning from the intensity of the salt.

    I can go to the Crypt dressed as I want, grab a drink and a booth, sit in the darkness and be alone…read morewith myself and my copy of Frankenstein, if I so desire. In other words, it's just my thing. I don't need a bar to have a food menu. I don't need it to take credit cards. I don't need it to have TVs lining the walls or be blasting the latest dance music. I do need it to be a place where I can nurse a few drinks and be with myself (or my friends) without such distractions, and the Crypt fits that bill perfectly. BTW, if you need to have the aforementioned things, there are a dozen other places for you to go near downtown. If you want to be more social, or party with a bigger group, they have a patio. It's actually really nice out there during the summer, hanging out with the other weirdos. It's a shame we can't have clove cigarettes anymore. If you know, you know. They usually have some awesome events going on most nights of the week, too, with a little something for everyone. On the bar side, the drinks are excellent (try the Rose Rickey) and the staff has always been friendly. The seasonal cocktails can be pricey, but they're damn good, and you're worth the treat. Go there.

    Don't support businesses that don't respect you…read more Could not have felt more unwelcome at the bar. Would never go back to spend a dime. The owner was so dismissive of critical but fair review. Typical entitled owner of a place that would be amazing...if they had a good owner and bartender that doesn't that people as if they have no reason to be there. This place is the worst goth/metal bar I've ever been.

    The entrance is tucked away and then you enter a small, but tall space so you don't feel…read moreclaustrophobic. The music wasn't too loud so you weren't shouting. Almost every table was full. Cozy atmosphere. There were 3 employees that night, the woman who initially waited on us actually appeared to roll her eyes when we ordered. She seemed pretty rushed and just didn't want to work that night or something. The bartender was friendly and came for our second round and he actually seemed more welcoming and friendly. The drinks menu is a bit small (compared to other nearby bars). We got 5 drinks, one espresso one which wasn't great and the rest were alright. Nothing that made us go "Oh man, try that!" but they weren't bad either. The food, looks better than normal bar food, which I loved. We ordered "Balls of Gibralter" - North African meatballs, which were *SO GOOD*, so delicious EXCEPT the texture. The flavors were all amazing, but it was as if there was too much egg and not enough breadcrumbs because it gave the impression of being wildly undercooked, even though you could see no pink. If they were firmer, they would've been perfect. They seem to have a rotating grilled cheese special I wouldn't mind checking out next time. The ambiance-lovely. The service - meh The drinks - average The food - has a lot of potential

    The ambience is beautiful inside…read more The best part of the Baked Eggs dish was the cheese. The cheese was so flavorful, creamy, and delicious. Next best was the bread - it was perfectly soft inside with a crispy crust. Between how oily the dish was and my nose running from the increased spice as I continued eating, I wouldn't return for this dish. The eggs weren't noticeable in appearance or taste- I had to search for them. The "creamy grits" were creamy, but the black pepper taste was STRONG. Definitely ordered the side for the "creamy" factor, hoping when the server said harissa in the eggs would have a mild spice, that the grits would calm my mouth. The amount of pepper made this unsuccessful. But if you like black pepper a lot then you'll enjoy them. My son enjoyed the beignet's. The server was also the host and he was kind. It was easy to get his attention when needed. I didn't see anyone with a grin on their face after taking bites of their food. I looked around quite a bit out of curiosity. So for ambiance, kind and prompt service, and the possibilities of the menu I gave it 4 stars. We only tried the few things I mentioned. I did also appreciate the bottle of water ready on every table. Note that there is no kids menu and it's mostly table seating. So maybe try on your own or with other adults, and leave the kids at home?

    We loved checking out Chicory. Such a cute space. All the staff were lovely from start to finish…read more The pork chop was so delicious and we were in love with the dirty fried rice. The crispy bits in the rice were soooo good. Delicious side salad, loved the vinaigrette, so flavorful. Definitely will be back! Wish they had later hours.
