I try not to leave the house unless it's to go to a restaurant. So, I had no idea The Olympic even…read moreexisted. They apparently do weddings, events, and comedy shows. I was going there to see a Smashing Pumpkins cover band and a Foo Fighters cover band. (Our oldest daughter saw her first concert a while back, which was Foo Fighters in Denver, and she really wanted to go to this concert.) Anyway, I didn't know the place was a wedding venue. So, I was expecting the type of place one goes for a concert of cover bands. My first surprise was when I got on the elevator, and the only option was to go up. If I'm getting on an elevator to see a Smashing Pumpkins cover band, I'm expecting that elevator to take me down to a basement with sticky concrete floors. My second surprise was when the elevator opened to reveal a hallway with very nice floors. I'm pretty dense. So, my first thought was "Wow. This hallway is really nice for a hallway that leads to the type of place that would host a concert I would go to." It turned out that the whole venue was beautiful: high ceilings, chandeliers, floors that were probably laminate (but looked like wood floors to me), a bigger main room than I expected, a nice-sized bar area separated from the main room, a balcony with additional seating (and I think it's own bathroom, if I heard my wife and daughter correctly, which I may not have, because there was a concert going on). Also, I guess I was technically a designated driver, because my wife had a whiskey, and I guess it's pretty common for bars to comp sodas and other non-alcoholic drinks for DDs, but I was really surprised that they didn't seem to charge for any of the non-alcoholic drinks that the three of us had, though. Either that, or they were incredibly cheap. I think I had three or four iced teas. My wife had at least one whiskey, and two Cokes. My daughter had a Sprite. Our bill was $11.00 even. So, either everything but the whiskey was free, or my iced teas were free and everything else was incredibly cheap. I thought that was really nice. I would highly recommend The Olympic South Side Theatre to anyone who is looking for a place to host an event.

My review is for renting the hall at this facility…read more They get an extra star for the staff, everyone was very nice and helpful and made us feel at home. We rented the hall for my brothers rehearsal dinner, we wanted to bring our own food in and they were fine with that. You do have to use their bar which was actually better then dragging stuff in. The hall can hold about 200-250 people with long banquet tables and chairs, they have a stage, and large foyer, a bar and a large parking lot. They also have a full kitchen but do not allow you to cook only get things ready in there. We were able to put up decorations as long as we took things down. Overall the people were very nice and the place was very clean and accommodating. If I ever need to throw an event that I want to cater myself this is a place that would be at the top of my list.

The hotel staff was friendly from check in to check out. The room was very spacious and the layout was really great! There is an entry way with a large closet on one side and large bathroom on the other. The bed faced the windows and there was a large desk behind the bed with plenty of space to spread out. King sized bed was comfortable. Large TV with smart streaming options and a mini bar area with coffee pot, microwave and mini-fridge. Water pressure was good, temperature nice and hot, towels fluffy and large enough to encircle a normal sized human. AC worked really well in the room and it was hot out so that was nice to come back to. I ordered coffee and breakfast my first morning which took longer than expected, but the food was tasty. Coffee left a lot to be desired.

Played in the pool with our grandson in the afternoon. Our server was really friendly for dinner and the food was pretty good. Large grassy lawn for dogs out back. Very dog friendly. Although I would hope they would clean the poop for a $75 pet fee. So disappointing these hotels let us bring our pets and some people don't bother cleaning after their pets. It's so rude to the next dog owner. And to the establishment. I would raise the fee too. But then I would clean up after irresponsible dog owners so the next people don't have to risk stepping in it. Other than that it was the perfect stay. They really make you feel at home.

We gave this place another chance and unfortunately were extremely disappointed again…read more The restaurant itself is beautiful, the service was good, and the drinks were well made. We tried the duck wontons -- they were okay but not my favorite. The French onion soup was good. However, they simply cannot cook a steak properly. I ordered the porterhouse medium rare and it came out raw and severely undercooked. The fat wasn't even rendered. The manager did remove it from the bill, which we appreciated, but the steak should never have been served in the first place. It felt like the expediter was asleep at the pass. It's frustrating because the restaurant has great potential -- the atmosphere is beautiful and the service staff does a good job -- but the kitchen clearly lacks standards and consistency. 1 out of 5. I would not recommend.
