    Welcome to Gardner’s . . .

    Gardner’s has been family owned since 1983 and has proven to be the favorite place to dine in Olympia. Gardner’s Executive Chef Leon Longan has favored the freshest local and seasonal ingredients for over 25 years. Everything is created from scratch, including soups and sauces to an abundance of desserts. With many local wines offered by the glass or by bottle, you are sure to find that perfect pour for any entrée.
    rustic hardwood floors and exposed beams
    Gardner’s is located in a quaint historical building with rustic hardwood floors, exposed beams and our famous stained glass window. For an intimate setting, Gardner’s 11 tables are lit by candlelight for a romantic dinner, yet placed in a casual and elegant setting appropriate for any occasion.

    We hope you join us soon.
