Happy Holidays
Rehearsal Dinner, Entire Restaurant on a Saturday evening.
Just Married Zoë and Ben
We had the rehearsal dinner for our wedding at The Mark, and were incredibly happy with the event. The owner, Lisa, worked with us to meet our needs, and the staff were, as always, accommodating and friendly. Guests were blown away by the swanky ambiance (the patio was a favorite), the drinks, and most importantly the FOOD. The big draw for us, and one of the reasons we chose The Mark, was being able to entertain our nearest and dearest at an establishment that supports local, sustainable farmers, turning out food that proves quality ingredients just taste better. We loved our rehearsal dinner so much that we went back for our two week anniversary to re-live the glory!

“We rented out The Mark for our wedding reception and it was the perfect venue! The space already has beautiful decor so we only had to do minimal decorating. We also appreciated that there was enough space for all of our guests. We used the Red Room for the DJ, dancing, and cake cutting, and had the rest of the restaurant and back patio available for our guests to mingle. In fact, we were even able to utilize the Board Room as a photo booth area which was a blast! Lisa made the planning simple and flexible–we were able to set a budget and work our food and drink menu around it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Dinner Date, Patio – a very nice note
Thank you for a beautiful evening. We savored all of it–the jasmine and herb gardens, the sky changing colors overhead, the transporting music, the delicious and conscientious menu selection, and of course, the staff. Marcus said “I would fight for the food” so I bought him another drink… and he mellowed and we stayed the whole evening 🙂

A note from artist Nikki Mc Clure
I always feel so good at the mark. It is fancy, yet feels cozy at homey. The best place for dinner in Olympia. Tonight, Lisa greeted us and welcomed us to her restaurant. She checked to see what cuts of meat that they were offering, but we stuck with the stand-by Flat iron steak. It was perfect, like always. My 7 year old loves it and the tiny scoops of blueberry sorbet at the end. My partner and I shared the espresso tainted maple syrup over chocolate ice cream, which seems only possible to make with magic incantations. We left happy and healthy, despite the indulgence.

Birthday Party, Main dining room
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

Becky and Ben, Wedding and Reception 07/22/12
“We recently had our nuptial ceremony and reception at The Mark. We admire Lisa’s commitment to the environment and the community. She chooses local organic ingredients and creates an inviting space for local artists to showcase work. She works to create a truly unique environment in Olympia.
This was the only space in Olympia we could imagine to host our wedding. Her values reflect ours and those that we cherish and wanted to have at our event.
We truly had the time of our lives and will continue to be patrons of The Mark.”
