Birthday Party, Main dining room

2011-11-08T18:04:00.000-08:00

Lisa and Mark Staff, Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful evening this last Friday. We appreciated your letting us reserve your big table on a Friday. Getting to celebrate our friend Kim's birthday in one of her favorite places was great. To allow us to reserve so late in the evening without dinner orders did not go unnoticed, and taking the group photos for us was great. Any time someone asks me where to go in Olympia, I tell them the Mark. Thanks so much, we'll see you again soon! Scott McDearmon

Cakes - for Special Events

2011-09-04T09:44:00.000-07:00

*Vanilla cake with a *strawberry mascarpone frosting
covered in thinly sliced *strawberries.
*Almond cake with Nutella frosting dusted with roasted *almonds.

No unnatural colorants added *Organic ingred.
These cakes can be made in 2 or 3 tiers or as cupcakes.

My cake recipes are designed to taste of their beautiful mostly organic ingredients, while still sweet and rich they have actual food value unlike most cakes you will find. This gives them the unique balance of health and decadence. lisa scott owen

Lisa and Staff,

I cannot thank-you enough for the beautiful Rehearsal Dinner (August 3, 2011) you put on for our family and friends

It was absolutely perfect! The food was delicious, the chocolate martini served with that delicious cake was phenomenal and the italian coffee was the perfect touch!

The service (Brenna & crew) were out of this world, they tailored every-detail to our experience. I don’t have to tell you how special that made it for us!

The use of the restaurant and the pic’s (would love to purchase copies) were beautiful and it was an unforgettable evening, just the kind of beginning to give a much loved son and his new bride.

You have our gratitude, our business and my big mouth (to tell everyone I come in contact with) forever -

Thank you lisa!

Love, Cathy and Gary Herness

I don’t have enough lovely things to say about The Mark. Just to stop by to have a delicious dinner with my husband or a cocktail with the ladies, the staff has always been friendly, prompt, and very knowledgeable. The birthday parties and weddings I’ve attended over the years have been amazing. The eye for detail, the staff was so accommodating but not overbearing and the ambience made these special events truly wonderful and luxurious to attend. Feel so fortunate to have such a beautiful, upscale and classy restaurant in downtown Olympia!

Lisa we really can’t explain how much we appreciate all the hard work that you and your staff put into making our wedding reception everything we wanted. We've heard nothing but good things from friends and family about how great of a time they had and how wonderful the food, drinks, and service were. This could not have been possible without all your efforts, suggestions, and ideas. So again, thank you so much!! Steve and Gretchen Frost

We really enjoyed our wedding reception at The Mark as did our guests. every one raved about the food and complimented the ambiance. We can't think of a better venue in olympia to host a stylish intimate gathering, with high quality food and drinks. Thanks for helping us plan our wedding and working within our budget. We will always have fond memories of this place. Cathy and Sam Winters , Olympia, WA.

I cannot think of a better place to have a wedding reception, and for us there was no question. Two years later, we still have guests telling us how much fun they had, and I believe this is due to the care and atmosphere that the Mark delivers. The food was outstanding, and the drinks were perfect, but my favorite thing about an event at the mark is the unique quality the separate rooms. We had the entire restaurant to ourselves, and it was perfect, Dancing in the Red Room, chatting in the main room, Grandparents taking it easy in the Tiki Room, and the back patio was full of socializing and enjoying the evening. It made our wedding reception what we wanted more than anything---a party with our friends not some impersonal rented banquet hall. I highly recommend the Mark for any size of event, and thank the hard working and caring staff that delivers an outstanding experience.
Miss Annie, Olympia, WA.
