I think we may have visited on a off night because only half of everything we ordered was excellent. I ordered the braised wild boar pappardelle and it was as tough as beef jerky but the mushroom tagliolini was the best we have ever tasted....More

Reasonable food but overpriced. Better than most places in Olympia. Good choices. Food is fresh. Service ok.

We just had the most delightful dinner. We made a last minute reservation. The service was wonderful - the entire staff checked to see that we were happy throughout the meal (but not in an obtrusive way). The food was SPECTACULAR! I started with a...More
