We heard the menu has recently been updated, and it did not disappoint -- we ordered the pork katsu and the fried chicken, and both were outstanding. Everything came out perfectly cooked and in an incredibly timely manner. Our server, Christopher, made us feel like guests in someone's home -- warm, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the meal. The cocktails were made to perfection as well. We could not have been happier with the entire experience. Highly recommend!

We…read moreordered burrata, surprising us with seasonal tomato with balsamic vinegar-fresh and not over seasoned. Steak tartare was also well seasoned, flavorful and tender. The accompanying bread was delightful. I heard another diner exclaim in surprise to her companion upon greeting the chef's special lasagna, which I ordered; it featured thin hand made pasta sheets, mint and basil, ricotta and parmesan with local yellow squash cut thin on a mandoline--rich, satisfying and vegetarian! Did the fried oysters disappear off the menu? Good riddance, I look forward to more chef's specials!

Realize there are two rooms to this store, the back room seems to be a lot bigger.

Or just ask one of the rather abundant staff, who will likely lead you to the appropriate section.

I went to buy some scrap wood from their bin in the back by the dimensional lumber and there were…read moreat least 3 rotes of wood that I simply didn't know what they were.

Absolutely clueless, embrassing and helpless! sad just sad!

Check your receipts before leaving the store…read more I like buying half dead plants. It makes me feel good I can save them plus they are always on sale for a good price. Last time I went the person at the register rang them all for a full price. I asked for a sale price and pointed to a sale sticker. They fixed it and said they didn't notice the sale sticker. I was wondering why my last purchase was so expensive when I bought only a couple of sale plants, 3 ground covers at a full price, and 2 different heavy duty tomato cages (green and silver). I was lucky I didn't throw away my last receipt. Sale plants were at a full price, I was supposed to have 2 tomato cages - silver at $7.97 and green $16.98 . Both of them were checked out at $16.98. I really hope it was an honest mistake. 3 stars because all dying plants survived.

Being a homeowner I've been to a lot of hardware stores, Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, etc. And because…read moreLowes is the closest to our pos, it's usually our go to. Now from my experience past and present, it seems that most of the folks that work there (and other hardware stores) seem kinda "habut" (pidgin Hawaiian for grumpy), not very proactive when it comes to customer service. Almost seem kinda annoyed at customers. I don't know how many times I've walked by an employee w/o being acknowledged or asked if I needed help with anything. When I do need help I always end up, 1. trying to find someone in that department and 2. asking for help. It's not to say they don't help, you just have to ask. Years of this I've kinda grown accustomed to hardware store customer service being this way. Never rude, more ignored and not engaging. This also taught me to be somewhat independent and resourceful, pretty much knowing the layout and aisles to find what I need. Then one post Thanksgiving day I stop by the Lowes in Lacey while visiting family to pick up some stuff to fix stuff around my mom's house. Through out my entire visit to that store I swear I didn't walk past one employee w/o a greeting or being asked if I need any help finding anything or what not. In all my years I don't think I've ever had this kinda customer service from a hardware store EVER! Normally they don't say anything as I walk by, in some instances they kinda walk the other way or avoid eye contact. Not this Lowes, I was greeted, smiled at, talked to. I almost didn't know what was going on. Now I don't know if it's like that all the time at this particular Lowes , but I say this with the utmost sincerity, this was the most nicest, helpful, pleasant experience in a hardware store I have ever had! Goodness, if they are like this all the time it would almost be worth that two hour commute just to shop there from my house...almost. And to top it off, I found everything I needed. As for customer service from this particular visit, 5-star!

The only thing we miss are the coupons we used to get in the mail and discounts on store and if that is the case we stop at Walmart or ACE and save the trip to Olympia, otherwise it is a nice store.
