Stanley & Seafort's

Very nice service, great ambiance, EXCELLENT food - ohmygosh.... We had a party of seven (with a reservation of course - please be polite and do that or you'll be stuck waiting probably).Food is top notch- great view inside, plenty of parking. Kinda loud. Good for a group of 10 or so or maybe more even?!ALWAYS go for the seafood, although friends ordered the steak and LOVED it. Salad was good too. Oh no...now I sound like I'm gushing, ugh But seriously, it's a great place - we're just visiting and came with local family to celebrate a graduation. We had a great time. The seafood trio was a hit, the manhattan was awesome, the halibut was to die for, and the wait staff was impeccable!

The entire dining experience was off/badI ordered 2 shots of Titos with a SPLASH of cranberry and a SPLASH of orange. What came out with NO ice was a glass filled almost to the top of orange and maybe a splash of cranberry. UGH. I drank it because I felt like I did not want to say anything to our waitress who clearly new. Not that that was said to us, but I could tell. I usually get a buzz within the 1st 2 sips of my drink because I don't drink often. I drank the entire thing without a buzz at all. I am pretty sure there was NO alcoholic in this $24 drink. I even took a picture of the drink because it was just so bad.!!!!My friend ordered the Prime rib. That was good. she ordered the Pea salad that was good and the asparagus with Bernice sauce. The asparagus came out on a plate with NO sauce, they were taken back to the kitchen to return a short while later. I ordered the Dijon chicken, which was not bas but Salty. My favorite part of the dinner was the spinach. BUT this was a failure also as there was literally 1 fork full of spinach. REALLY... THEY CAN'T AFORD AT LEAST 3 BITES OF SPINICH?? I ate 3 bites of my chicken (because of the salt content) and I was done. I would have let the wait staff known if they had come back to ask about the food. but by the time she had comeback over it had been at least 20 minutes and at that pointe all I wanted was water. Which was never offered to me. I had to ask for it. We then had to ask for the dessert menu, (we are now into this dinner 2 hours.) We don't mind hanging out and talking, but...I would assume after 2 hours a dessert menu would have been offered. We ordered the carrot cake, only to be told they don't have carrot cake. OK, that would have been nice to know before deciding. We ordered the choc molten cake and a side of Ice cream. and 2 decaf coffees and cream. The desert came about 20 minutes later, and we had to ask again for coffee as in the 20 minutes she was gone NO coffee was given to us. About 15 minutes later the waitress came back over to ask if we wanted more coffee, The waitress then stated IF we want more coffee, she will need to make another pot. We both declined as we were there at this point for 3 hours. You would think the bad dinner was done, but there is MORE. On Black Friday I had purchased a $100 gift card that came with 2 $20 rewards cards. I gave them all to pay the check. When the waitress came back, she handed me the new total and said the 2 rewards cards had nothing on them. At this point all I could do is laugh. Because this dinner from beginning to end was just BAD! I insisted they figure this out because I had not used them and as you can clearly see here, they are. with my receipt of purchase. After another 15 minutes she came back to the table and said they figured it out and they forgot to add it as a rewards card. UGH... This entire experience was just BAD!! and we NO view at our table. Which is a huge reason for wanting to eat here. I did ask in the beginning if we could sit at a table with a view (we are in the bar) they let us know that these were reserved for overflow customers from the restaurant. BUT when I called to make reservations, I was told that the bar was 1st come 1st served. I don't mind paying for a good dinner. BUT this was NOT a good dinner on so many levels.Table 10305/04/2024 5:27 PM - 05/04/2024 9:36 PM PDTCheck Number 30011

I've been wanting to try Stanley's for some time, however each time we got there, something came up? Yesterday was my Son and I, it was our birthday, so as we headed south to Olympia, I pointed at your building and asked my son if he wanted Steak for dinner.... He said yes. Furthermore, I realized I left my wallet at home and it's awesome that the take Apple Pay too, and this confirmation sealed the deal. We were greeted so kindly and with respect and care and it felt like we were at Canlis. The layout and the views are so reminiscent of each other. Food, it's like Lawry's with a lot of seafood options. Service was excellent and was so nice to see so many beautiful smiles. We were feed properly and the Prime rib, which I had the end piece was super tender and still juicy. Amazing. Better then Lawry's IMO. Our Server was so polite and kind and super thoughtful. We were given one of the largest crème brûlée's for our birthday and it was absolutely delicious. Yummy! Had a Red Mountain Wine with the prime rib and it was a great compliment to my meal. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great birthday meal! BTW.... Caesar Salad is super refreshing, healthy and the lettuce tastes organic/local grown.

Came for restaurant week. They were out of everything we ordered... Or so they said. As we walked out an hour later, we saw prime rib in the display. Good view. Service was decent, sort of. I mean she said they were out of prime rib and I saw prime rib so whatever.

Engagement party for a friend - dinner for 12. Server killed it. Timing was perfect, recommended great drinks from the menu. I personally love the extra touch of the guest servers *knowing who ordered what*. It's so nice not to look around and ask "Hey! Who had the halibut!?" They just tell you your order and confidently place it in front of you. Sweet.Wine was great, filet was delicious and filling. Glad I went with the butter topping for $3. The oven roasted chicken offered so much food! Definitely enough for leftovers. I would like to see a sweet salad on the menu - something with a vinaigrette? and goat or feta cheese? Mmm. But Stanley's is not far from the house - free parking - nice views - excellent service. We'll be back.

Wonderful experience coupled with great food and service. Can't go wrong with this truly exquisite establishment

Stanley's is a great spot for a romantic evening or a special night out with family or friends! The view of the port and the city skyline is absolutely stunning (from no matter where you sit). I have been here before but not in a long time, and it is delicious and enjoyable as ever!The staff was super friendly and sat us right away, but I would recommend making a reservation as it was getting quite busy when we left (around 7pm).Drinks and apps came out promptly and our bartender even offered to take our photo! Our dining experience that night was great, and the food was even better! Thanks Stanley & Seafort's!

We love coming to Stanley & Seaforts, especially for happy hour! We always get the BEST service from Tina and Dre. Tina makes the best drinks and Dre always offers first class service. We love to sit by the window and enjoy the views. This time we ordered the calamari and fish tacos and they were both delicious. We will be back!

The views are iconic and you do expect to pay more for such a setting. You will have to determine whether the high price of the food is balanced by the views. The fish and chips was great.But here is something that is going to keep me from returning. Of course tips have gotten out of hand lately but this is a new underhanded way to squeeze more money out of you and I think it is Dishonest. When you are served the check, this is what greets you:" A 3% Living Wage surcharge was added to your total bill. This is not a gratuity for services provided, nor is it intended to replace or supplement gratuity." This is going to keep me from visiting Stanley and Seafort's again. Apparently, if Stanley and Seafort's does not want to increase the pay to a "living wage ", then they ask us to foot the bill rather than the business. I think they got this wrong!

Excellent. Attended wine dinner which was fantastic. Lots of different flavors and textures. Highly recommend.
