Loved it!
We visit Olympia often and we always look forward to dinner and drinks at the Mark. Stylish decor and good atmosphere. The food is great, the the portion size isn't too much or too little. Top shelf liquors and fresh ingredients make for delectable drinks, and the set up allows for the perfect spot to catch up with friends.    [29 Aug 2006 13:08:04]

Wish I could eat there weekly
I find myself craving the food at The Mark, but I only get to Olympia occasionally. The food is fresh, organic, honest, simple and delicious! The ambiance is an eclectic mix of warmth, style, comfort, and visual excitement. The back-lit bar is beautiful to look at even if you don't drink. The service is friendly and attentive but it is the food with simple but obviously carefully chosen ingredients that makes the food memorable. Just for the record, I live in an area renowned for great restaurants(Berkeley/San Francisco).    [04 Sep 2006 17:17:51]

The best kept secret in Olympia!
This restaurant stands out in Olympia. The wait staff is exceptional and the owner, Lisa, makes every guest feel special. The food is amazing, and I have never had an unsatisfactory meal or visit.
The menu is varied, and offers great selections for all tastes. The cocktails are wildly fun, and creative.
I will continue to patronize this restaurant, it is outstanding.    [21 Oct 2007 20:28:21]

Wish I could eat there daily
Nowhere else in Olympia can you get great service, great food, and excellent drinks under one roof. I am constantly blown away by the surprisingly stylish decor. The menu leaves little to be desired, while the bar (always my favorite) sports a wide array of fine spirits and creative cocktails. Bravo, indeed!    [28 Oct 2007 12:16:43]

An Anniversary to Remember
We had talked about going to The Mark for quite awhile, but finally celebrated anniversary #28 there. What a treat! Everything was perfect from the cocktails to the dessert. The food presentation was simple, but the food was spectacular. While my entire meal was excellent, I especially loved the zucchini with fennel seed. The service was superb. We'll definitely be coming back. The best meal I've had since Manhattan 26 years ago.    [31 Mar 2008 10:41:57]

Exceptional Organic Food, Great Value
The Mark is one of our favorite restaurants – we eat there at least once a month. The emphasis is on high quality food – no garnishes or sauces (except for the pasta) are used. The desserts are fabulous – my favorite is the walnut mascarpone tart. Cocktails are innovative and, since triple sec, sweet and sour mix are used only upon request, they are crisp and refreshing. Not only is the food good – it’s healthy too. Chef/owner Lisa Owen uses organic ingredients whenever possible. In fact, it’s currently the only organic restaurant certified by the State of Washington.

The Mark is an exceptional value and I can’t wait to go back.    [03 Jul 2009 10:05:19]
