As a newcomer to Olympia, I made it a point to visit several local wine bars. I discovered that many of them mark up their wines by 100% to 200%. What sets Wines by the Valley apart is its unique approach: you purchase the bottle at its retail price and, if you'd like to enjoy it at the bar, simply pay a $10 corkage fee. It's an excellent value and a refreshing concept. I've enjoyed many wines here, and everyone I've tried has been excellent. Patrick and Lisa are incredibly knowledgeable about both Old World and New World wines, and they're always happy to help you find something that suits your palette. Check them out....

Waitress couldn't get from behind the bar because she had to entertain her friends gathered there. When asked for something, a snippy "I'll get to you" and then another 20 minutes later she arrives. After waiting for one last glass for nearly 30 minutes, with food still on the table, I went to the bar at 8:55 to ask for another round, greeted by a snarled "I called last call 10 minutes ago." Take your business to a place that wants it.

It was cold the day went but, if you get warm weather, try for their outdoor patio. I ordered the lemon rosemary hummus (delish) with gluten free crackers and it came out with lots of sliced veggies, olives and pickled carrots and onions. A great value! My main course was king salmon and it was perfect. I ordered a lemonade and was disappointed that the tall skinny glass it was served in was full to the top with ice, so there was very little left to drink. My husband enjoyed the Cesar salad he ordered, tasted like a traditional Cesar. He tried the special beef cheeks and found them to be very fatty and gelatinous. He wouldn't recommend them. They did have a N/A beer option he was happy about. Service was attentive and friendly.

We sat indoors and it was an intimate atmosphere. Parking is only street parking so prepare for that.

We did have to wait for our order for a while though. I ordered baked oysters. There was no word on a menu on how many oysters will be on a plate. Beautiful presentation, tasty BUT...
