Dockside Bistro & Wine Bar made its debut on May 12th, 2007. Open for lunch, appetizers and dinner Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday dinner, Dockside Bistro focuses on pairings of fine wine and fine food in an intimate and warm waterfront setting. Owner Laurie Nguyen and Executive Chef Cedar Martin utilize the freshest local ingredients to create sensational cuisine with a Northwest flair. We are particularly pleased to offer Painted Hills  organic beef on our menus. In addition, our seafood is wild caught from sustainable fisheries or culled from local shellfish producers on Eld and Totten Inlets. With daily lunch and dinner specials and promotional events such as $1.00 Cork Night, Complementary Cheese Plates, and selected bottles of fine wine from $20.00 (please see our Events Page under 'Ongoing'), Dockside strives to provide an informal and quality dining experience whether you are dropping by for appetizers and a glass of wine or for a full lunch or dinner.

As demonstrated in the embedded video there is no length that owner Laurie Nguyen won't go to in order to obtain the freshest ingredients (well, coconuts anyway) for you our customers.

Have a passion for wine? Dockside offers a nice assortment of top shelf mixed drinks and over 130 wines and champagnes for your enjoyment. In addition, we have rotating wines by the glass on our extensive wine list.

Dockside is pleased to enthusiastically support our neighbors - Jim and Mary Jones at The Wine Loft and Tony and Kira DeRito at the The Olympia Seafood Company. We are also delighted to welcome Doug and Kim McCrea of McCrea Cellars and Salida Wines to downtown Olympia with the opening of their dedicated tasting room at 116 East 5th Avenue, Olympia, WA 98501 (360.359.4288). We strongly encourage you to support Doug and Kim in this venture not only to support our local vintners but also as part of the rejuvenation of downtown Olympia.
