Dockside Bistro offers an exceptional dining experience with "spectacular" food and "wonderful" service. Guests rave about exquisite seafood dishes like pistachio-encrusted halibut and black cod, complemented by inventive cocktails. Situated by the marina, it provides a picturesque setting. While some found prices high, the quality and ambiance make it a "hidden gem."

Birthday dinner - we were greeted as we checked in and were asked who was celebrating. The booth we requested was available and we were seated immediately. A birthday card was on the table. Our server was welcoming, cheerful, and attentive and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. We were offered numerous options for our meal with truly personalized service. We have eaten here several times in the past, but were not always treated this well. The restaurant is under relatively new ownership and made this birthday dinner memorable. We will definitely be returning.

I love this place. I had fish Tacos and my date had Brie sandwich, which she loved. I was a little surprised at the taco prep, the fish was in small cubes and appeared to be battered and fried. I've never had a fish taco prepared like that - it was good but would not order it again. I thought the menu said dressed with cabbage, but there was none found and it's my preferred green on fish tacos. So they weren't bad, but just not to my taste.

Love Dockside. The food and staff are wonderful, and it is nicely proximate to one of my favorite wine shops, The Wine Loft. Great location in Olympia and sunsets are a beautiful backdrop for dining.

Our food was inconsistent. Two of us had the same lamb special. The lamb on one of the meals was over cooked, the other was so under cooked it had to be sent back to the kitchen. The quality of the food experience didn't match the high prices of the meal.

Excellent bread, hot and crunchy on outside, sparkling brut, for me, rack of lamb, perfect flavor, with potatoes and beans and dessert, molten chocolate and my husband across the table having black cod and just outside the window the moon shinning on the bay. The feeling and memories are still with me today.
