Gardner’s Seafood and Pasta – Olympia, WA
Gardner’s Seafood and Pasta in Olympia, WA is one of our favorite places to eat. While living in Olympia for over 15 years we have seen th eownership of this small family owned business change 3 times, but the menu remains relatively constant, and the quality remains exceptional. It is small, so reservations are in order and you should plan a week or so ahead of time, it styas pretty busy. As the name implies, its seafood and pasta, great deserts and a quality wine selection. Always a fresh fish special, and usually appetizer and desert specials. Entrees run $25-$30, a meal for two, with wine, desert, etc will run $65-$75 in 2007 dollars. The Chicken Pepperonici is one of my favorites. So if you live in Olympia, or the next time your visiting give it a try. 5 out of 5 Link to review
Lemon Grass – Olympia, WA
The Lemon Grass on 4th Ave, Olympia WA is one of our favorite Asian resturants. It is a small resturant, so dress warm and bring your umbrella, you may have to wait outside for a table. The wait is worth it and they usually move people trhough rather effectively. The menu selection is a combination of Vietnamese and Thai, with some outstanding items. My wife loves the Walnut Prawns, I love it all. The quality can vary slightly depending on who is cooking. The original owner and cook is there most of the time and is great, but lately she has taken some family time and while still good, it can lack some of her oomph and flare. We love Asian food and can truthfully say this is one of the best in the world that we have eaten at. Its always a pleasure. 4 out of 5 Link to Savoryfaire recommendations
Hotel 1000 – Seattle, WA
The Hotel 1000 is an excellent hotel. Loacted in downtown Seattle it is centrally located to all the major downtown activities. It is a very modern and high tech hotel with some interesting features. A glass wall between the bath and bed area make it feel larger that it is, plus the bathtub fills from the ceiling. Large screen plasma television, high speed internet, and a computerized refreshment refrigerator, all make it very interesting. But, it maintains its luxury and charm, even with all the high tech gadgets, its a nice romantic palce to getaway to the big city. 2 resturants in the hotel and a very nice bistro across the street, not to even mention the tons of resturants in and around the hotel in downtown Seattle. We got an Internet special and paid $250 a night for a deluxe room. Check it out. 3.75 out of 5 Web link to Hotel 1000
