Dockside Bistro & Wine Bar

We've dined regularly at the Dockside Bistro for years, but have not been there since it transferred to new ownership. I'm pleased to say that the food is still excellent, and our service was outstanding. The menu is largely unchanged for now and we enjoyed the seafood martini, perfectly prepared halibut with gnocchi, pear salad and lamb pasta. (Pardon the bite of gnocchi out of the dish shown in the picture!). We met one member of the new ownership duo after dinner, who shared that they plan to gradually diversify the menu, begin to work in more local ingredients and eventually offer outside dining. We look forward to returning again soon.

If you want to check out the website, you HAVE to book a table. Not a great option, went ahead and booked a table. At which point it kicked me out and sent me back to BOOK A TABLE with the OpenTable company. This is the only way I had to contact y'all and let you know what a terrible function your website has; I'd love to try the place but want to see menus and such first, and book a table second (or fourth.)

I'm always on the hunt for good fish tacos. Dockside nailed it for me. I do not care for tomatoes or pico de gallo. Instead, Dockside uses a delightful mango salsa. I was shocked at the size of the portions, and the spicy kick. Definitely worth the price. The best fish tacos I have had in Olympia.
