Chelsea Farms Oyster Bar

Amazing spot we stopped at in Olympia for lunch yesterday. The web was right, it is worth the detour of Hwy 5. They grow their own shellfish and YES, the clam chowder is a must. Made to order and the clam bodies were larger than their shells. Lots of easy parking and the restaurant is in a market with a bakery, ice cream and other spots too.

At $40+ bucks a head, without alcohol, this is a truly over priced place for the quality of food provided. I ended up here as a result of an eater.com recommend but clearly this is a fail on their part, and walking around town after lunch it would seem there may have been easily as good or better options elsewhere for Seattle-getaway-dining. Reading some of the other reviews it seems like this place has past its glory years, but when you are essentially a seafood restaurant and can’t even serve that up properly then something is clearly wrong. Moreover, when you charge Seattle or London prices in the “boondocks” you should hit the quality points also. I ordered the cider mussels and they were either frozen, microwaved, over cooked or all three, and were absolutely disgusting in texture and smell. So much so, in fact, that I had to send them back to the kitchen. They were the worst i have ever had, including out of a bag from a supermarket! The crab and asparagus was ok, but greasy and nothing to write home about, while the lobster roll was again just ok, with zero finesse, while at 16 bucks you would expect the mac n cheese to have gold leaf on it. All round a pretty disappointing lunch, and certainly not a restaurant i would recommend, least of all for seafood or price.
