    Garlic bread, unfortunately with mold
    Joel B.

    I read reviews about slow service but holy moly. Two people. Ordered as soon as we sat down. Two other tables that sat down after us were served before us. It was probably close to a 50 minute wait for our food, and it wasn't a particularly busy night. All the waitstaff are college kids, which is fine, but things seemed to move at a snails pace, and our server would disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time. My wife had the Seafood Sauté, which was good. I had the Mac and cheese with crab and artichoke, which was good until I bit down on moldy bread. Overall, it just feels like whoever owns this establishment could inspire more care into staff that's attentive and kitchen staff that cares.

    Rustic waterfront location, up on still covered by mussels during king tide/low tide.

    After eight years, living in an extreme hellish northeast Wisconsin, we just returned the other dates of Washington state, and while searching for our next home, we decided to stop at this fine waterfront restaurant during historic king tide low tide. It's been years since I had fresh seafood so we ordered calamari and pan fried oysters and they tasted absolutely awesome! The service was superb, friendly servers, quick service, the food quality was excellent, the prices were cheaper than they were eight years ago, but that's the case everywhere, thanks to the crooked moron in the White House, no fault of these establishments. We look forward to going back and trying some other seafood dishes in the not too distant future.

    First off, the address listed on Yelp, Google, and on their own website is WRONG. The correct address is: 2100 W Bay Dr NW, Olympia, WA 98502 The staff were nice and friendly and the place is very cute. It's a very nice place. However, the food was garbage. My wife ordered a crab melt and it lacked crab. It was just a big glob of cheese. She did not finish it. I started with a cup of Clam Chowder. The clam chowder was super thick and all dried out. It's was sitting around for a while. For the main course I ordered the Prime Rib with a Shrimp Skewer add on. The Shrimp Skewer was Excellent. However, the Prime Rib tasted "old". Not to mention it tasted like it was reheated in a microwave or something. It was totally gross. I ended up leaving it. If you want old reheated food in a nice ambient place then come to Tugboat Annie's. Otherwise save both your money and stomachs and pass this place up.

    The reviews are not giving this place what it deserves! I was in town for work and we met there for dinner after work! A great location and tasty food! Get the seafood sauté with sweet potato tots!

    My family had a nice meal here. It is a fun place with lots to see hanging on the walls and we were seated by the window that overlooked the boats on the water. Service was excellent even though they were quite busy. They had a wide variety on the menu and I had the clam chowder and the crab cakes which came with fries. The crab cakes tased good along with the sauce. Would have liked more crabmeat in the cakes but the taste was good. We all enjoyed our meal and service.

    Very thick chowder

    GREAT FOOD, BAD SERVICE. Came here with a long time friend of mine for our last meal before she head back to Florida. The food was great. We really enjoyed the food, BUT the waiter was rude. He just kinda slammed the plates and our drinks came after we almost done eating. He asked which one is which and I answered and there he is, just slammed it again on our table without giving us the right drink when I literally said the Mojito was mine but he gave it to my friend. Anyway, we gave the tip to the guy who was way nicer than him because the other guy apologized for the delay.

    Standard seafood joint. The food was fine, nothing extraordinary. My wife got the crab melt sandwich and my boys got fish and chips. All the fried stuff was fine. The crab melt was a little disappointing. It was definitely more artichoke than crab.

    Wow. The whole atmosphere of this place is very inviting. We loved it immediately. Beautiful views…read moreof the water, plenty areas to sit, full bar. Looks like they have an outdoor patio as well, it was under construction today. Bet it's amazing when it's up and running. Our waitress was patient and so nice. Man oh man was our food fantastic! We started with the bacon wrapped scallops and the crab and artichoke dip. 10/10 artichoke dip large Elvis's of crabs fb great flavor! I'm not a fan of scallops but my husband and one of our friends said 8/10 maybe a little springy texture wise but still very very good. I, along with one of our friends ordered the halibut and French fries basket. Omg! It was so good! Love we had the option of beer battered or panko crumbs. We went with beer battered. The French fries are double fried I think and holy lord so freaken good! Cole slaw was also tasty. Husband ordered the Drunken Chef, which was a mix of rice, mushrooms, shrimp, scallops and salmon and super saucy! He loved it! Everyone tried it. Our other friend got the wedge salad and a bowl of clam chowder which was very very good! This will be a regular hang out for sure. They have a little area to buy charms and oyster ornaments! Very cute! We might return tomorrow that's how much we liked it! 10/10 go give them a try!

    My husband and I were in Olympia for my work training on our dating anniversary and wanted to go to…read morea special dinner. We decided to do Anthony's weekday three course dinner for $35 special. The special is 3 courses M-F before 5:30pm. We arrived around 5pm and the hostess let us know that to get the special we just had to be seated by 5:30pm. It was a beautiful sunny day so we opted to sit on the patio. It was wonderful to look out on the sound and soak in the sunshine. Our waitress brought out warm bread and butter to start. We then each chose 1 option from each course for our dinners. My husband had the Caesar salad starter, portobello mushroom entree, and crime brûlée for dessert. I had the shrimp cocktail starter, smoked salmon fettuccine entree, and the chocolate mousse dessert. It was all delicious and I enjoyed the leisurely courses, it gave us ample time to chat and enjoy the views. I would say the fettuccine could have benefited from a little more lemon. I asked for a couple extra lemon wedges and it was much improved to balance the creaminess of the sauce. For 3 courses at Anthony's, $35 is a pretty great price. I probably wouldn't opt for 3 courses on the normal menu, and I don't usually go to Anthony's since it's pricey. However, the weekday dinner special is a great deal and I would definitely return for this deal!!
