Anthony's Hearthfire Review

Some of the best views of any restaurant in Olympia. Great food, stiff drinks, and a friendly staff.

Great views of the water, good atmosphere, good menu, good service, pricing was what I expected.

We've been three times now, and all at different times with different menus.

On a sunny weekend, you can't beat the great lunch options on the patio with a cold adult beverage (or two) [Ours was around $75 with a few drinks and dessert]

For a romantic dinner for two it's more than perfect. Be prepared to pay a bit on their full dinner menu, but it's well worth it. [Ours was around $115 with drinks and dessert]

For a quick happy hour experience, it's still a bit pricey for the loud, cramped accommodations in the bar.

I've been coming to Anthony's since my childhood. Good food; love the waterfront view:)

Fantastic service, beautiful view, great food. A perfect spot for a nice lunch or dinner. Family and I came in for a graduation lunch for my sister.

Too much noise and too little food for the price. Probably one of the better sound views in Olympia

Amazing food and matching customer service. We went in a group of 6, and were expecting more people to come. The staff was very understanding and accommodating. The other didn't turn up but we were served with utmost courtesy. They even custom made a dish for he vegetarian member of our group without any issue. Highly recommended. The setting is beautiful with great views.

Amazing steaks, quick service and nice atmosphere. Plan to go again during the day to see the view.

Steak Oscar (supposedly wagyu but I think it was accidentally served with strip or ribeye) was gamy and unchewable like wire. Copper river salmon cakes were dull. Tomato basil soup was incredible. Gorgonzola truffle butter was astonishing. Strawberry sorbet was really excellent. Environment was like an upscale loud Applebee's. Make the drive to Alderbrook next time instead.

30+ minutes on a mid rare steak no apps or anything.

The swordfish and crab soup are on point! Can't wait to go back!!

One of the most beautiful views in Olympia, enjoyable day or night in any kind of weather, the fog as lovely as the sun. Our recent dinner was served by an attentive and friendly wait staff; shout out to Katie for her excellent service. Great place to bring out of town guests.

Amazing setting, right on the Sound. The staff is excellent and the food os terrific.

Terrible service. They send out coupons that bring in more people than they can handle. It's a shame.

Exceptional service and delicious food!! It's also where we take out of town guests to enjoy a good meal and a beautiful view!

Great service, exceptional food and wonderful view. Took family from out- of-state here for a Taste of WA for dinner and we all loved it!

Pricey but very good. The service was fantastic. Our drinks were never empty and the cocktails were delicious. I got the seafood artichoke dip and it was soooo good and got the steak too which was also yummy. They do have a very limited menu so there isn t a wide range of options but the food they do offer is always good. This is our go to place for date night.

Great atmosphere - views of the bay are outstanding. Courteous service and a good menu. It's all about the view/atmosphere at this place for me, though. Hard to beat in Olympia.

Delicious food, responsive staff, lovely food, great views

Mother's day was amazing! Fam time. Expensive but fancy brunch. Very happy people. Clean and amazing staff! Worth every penny!

I ordered the salmon and shrimp it was recommended by the waiter. My salmon was super pink and not flaky like it supposed to be. I showed my waiter and he said oh I should had asked you how you wanted it cooked. It also had no flavor to it. My shrimp had no flavor as well. The potatoes were ok it seemed the outer layer of them had burnt crispies on them and it tasted that way as well. 40 dollars for a very disappointing dinner.

Beautiful view .. perfectly prepared salmon .. silky crab corn chowder and friendly staff ... great upscale place for lunch meeting or quality family lunch or romantic dinner.

Dennis was our server and he was terrific. Tiffany, manager, fulfilled the two plant based meals and they were stellar. The group was ten. Well done!

Enjoyed a Valentine's dinner there with my wife. The view of Puget Sound is amazing. Great place to watch the sunset. Our server, Vincent was friendly. Food was amazing, we will visit again.

We were there at 3pm and they made us order off of the dinner menu and it was way over priced for what we received. It was not a pleasant experience at all.

In town for work and Anthony's was suggested. The view was amazing. We caught a sunset from a window seat. The staff was very professional and helpful and the food was excellent!

Lovely setting for a fancy meal. We went on a warm Monday night, and service was slow, some items overcooked. Peach crumble not to be missed!

Food is ok but not worth what they charge. Tom is so loud you can't hear the person. Sitting across from you. Service was terrible both times I went there. I know things get crazy so the second time we sat on the deck but it was so crowded that we were constantly getting bumped. It was a special occasion and my mom couldn't look at anyone at the table because the sun was right in her face. There were 2 servers/bussers standing at the door we tried to wave down but were apparently in a very good convoy. Not that they could have easily got to us if they had. Overall I am not in a hurry to go back.

Had a very enjoyable lunch. Waiter was really nice.

Great view, good beer, salmon swimmers are great. Unfortunately, food did take awhile to arrive. But that's what beer is for!

One of Olympia's better places to celebrate an anniversary or other special occasion. Yes, it's a chain, but it's a solid formula: fantastic view, stylish yet comfy interiors, reliable menu. There was a huge mix-up with our reservation (kudos to whoever STOLE our res, I'm going to quit using "Lee" to make reservations now!). The hostess then tried to seat us with the party outside. Maybe we would have gotten a free dinner out of that, but we demurred. It took some gentle requesting, but we got a nice table over the water (high tide). Our waiter Cory pointed out a seal bobbing in the water, and we enjoyed watching it, and the boats, birds, and tide. Very relaxing evening, good food, even better service. Would happily visit again.

We really enjoyed the shrimp and steaks. The glaze on the steaks was awesome. Service and the staff was wonderful. Thank you for a very nice Valentine's Day dinner.

First time at Hearthfire Grill. Great service and good food, also beautiful view from the restaurant. Family friendly, recommend this place.

Sub par service, didn't really feel like the staff cared

Love going there. People are always kind and friendly. Food is amazing. Recommend

I love this place. The service is a bit slow. But the food was so worth it!

Sat at the bar counter and our waitress was absolutely wonderful

Great food, great service, changed the food so much for my preference without question.

We were a party of 5 and we had 4 different things and all of food was great. Service was also very good.

Great food and great service. A bit expensive, but one gets what one pays for.

We saw calamari dish online but when we came in it wasn't on the menu, so we asked the server about it and he said yes they can make that for us! So I like the fact that they can go that extra mile for their customers! (it is on the dinner menu I believe) I give this place 5 star!

Beautiful view, beautiful building, ok food slow service.

My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and our new addition soon to be with our family. (New baby). The staff was amazing! The management, I am a loss for words. Talk about going out there way for me to surprise my wife. Tiffany, thank you for having that desert ready to go as soon as we sat down, and Brian, thank you soo much for getting those flowers for me. I am truly thankful. Service like this just makes want to come there every day! Thank you again for all the great service!

Food was great, but service was horrible. It took just under 3 hours to have lunch for 4 people. From seating us at our table to receiving our order it took them 52 minutes. When they brought my meal, Fried Chicken sandwich, it was made incorrectly and had to be made over. No explanation was offered by waitstaff. This was on Saturday 05/11, not on Mother's Day.

Service was great, restaurant was clean and being right on water, what more could you ask for? Better food for one. We catch and eat dungeness crab all the time, and sadly it appears they enhance their soup with immitation crab meat. (I am also a chef). My wife had the wagu sirloin steak salad and the steak was tough
but edible . Cant help but be disappointment. PORTION sizes for rest of meals was light considering price. We had 8 people in our group and this was the general consensus.

Between waiting for over an hour and receiving a raw steak, which they reheated to burnt beyond belief, I don't think they could have done a worse job.

The food was amazing. Best crab and corn chowder I have ever had. Swordfish was awesome as well. Only issue us the service. Tremendously slow. Our appetizer never even arrived. Our waiter only mentioned it after the entries arrived, at that point it was no longer needed. To his credit a comp was offer, but we no longer needed it.

Excellent service, great food...and the view...superb in every way! I always take my out of town guests here even in the winter. And it is my go to for my husband's and my date nights. Beautiful experiences...EVERY time!

We had the window seat with amazing views and delicious meal

Yum, yum, yum
We were visiting Olympia for a few days for a conference and after taking a drive around town we discovered this restaurant that was positioned on the lake and looked interesting so we made a reservation. We were shown to our table and had to wait a significant time for a waiter and when our waitress appeared she apologised for leaving us unattended for a significant time due to miscommunication amongst the staff but from then on she was very attentive. Our party chose not to have appetisers instead enjoying the house flatbread and some wine and cocktails. Our Entrees were all magnificent. 3 of us had the BBQ Scampi with Rice Pilaf and snap peas, another had the Crab and Mac Cheese and the other had 1/4 BBQ chicken with vegetables. None of us wanted our meals to end as they were so delicious. Our waitress offered us complementary desserts owing to us being neglected initially. We took them up on their offer even though we were all planning to order them anyway!! We all selected their Berry Dessert specials including Berry Sorbet and Berr Shortcake.
I've been travelling through the US for the past 3 weeks and this meal has been my highlight!!

Incredible atmosphere. Great views of the sound. Soaring ceilings. I like the concept of the showcased kitchen ovens. Food was OK, my salmon was dry,, but Kathy loved her Cobb salad.

This is one of those places you must try for a special occasion. Atmosphere is A+ and the wonderful kitchen smell captures you in the parking lot (which is ample). It is on the water (I mean OVER the water on one side) so the view is indescribable. Get reservations if you go.

Great atmosphere. Low key crowd. Staff and patrons friendly and engaging.

Great place to take people from out of town on business

very surprised ! food was excellant and worth the money. Chef's have gone to new demensions in this menu like "Crab & shrimp macaroni and cheese" Wow ! and the crab, shrimp artichoke dip was delish !

The food and service was spectacular. Make a reservation. The area to wait for a table is not very big.

Way over priced. Had the same food at a local bar and grill in Sequim a few days ago, fried shrimp and french fries. It was far more tasty and cost half as much. It was extremely noisy, could barely hear others at our table. The only plus was the waitress, very pleasant and helpful.
