Swing Wine Bar - (Near Olympia, WA)

DanielleNRichard V I can’t. Not anymore. I can no longer go to a Mediterranean restaurant and be satisfied unless it’s Baba. This has changed me. Gorgeous little place, could have used some candles on the tables, but clean, and fitting decor. Service was relaxed and on it as far as never letting you be without what you need. The food… layers of flavors that you’d not expect- even in a place like this. I’ve been to so many but nothing has left me staring at my mom across the table wondering if I should stomp my feet or walk to the back and thank the chef. Hit up during happy hour, the deviled eggs are amazing. Had to request without chili oil for my mom. The falafel/ wow. The WHIPPED FETA and pita. Come ON!- there are flavors that shouldn’t be allowed and I’m so glad they are. Never had a soft pillowy fresh one before. The chicken kabob..the caramel.. the chili flakes.. I could drink that. Used the rest of my pita to sop it up. Beef lamb kabob was stunning- almost at the top of my personal heat limit. Had the chocolate pistachio torte.. so good. I will have to come back next time I’m in town. PLEASE GO HERE.

Earl Gooding Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants. My wife and I dine here frequently, and I can genuinely say we have enjoyed every single meal. The quality and flavors are consistently superb, as well as the great cocktails. Our experience last night was no exception. The service was wonderful; our server was perfectly attentive without being intrusive. The food was divine, as always. We started with the Buñuelos des Pescado (halibut fritters), which were incredible. For my entree, the Méchoui Chicken was perfectly prepared, with a taste that was delightfully and authentically Mediterranean. I highly recommend Saffron for authentic, high-quality Mediterranean food matched with excellent service. We already look forward to our next visit!

Mike Neira I was pleasantly surprised on my visit. This time all the food was properly prepared and seasoned and our chef Q was great. I do wish the bean sprouts and cabbage came with carrots and green onion. I think it would help with the presentation and the flavor. It aint cheap, but it was definitely a huge improvement over my my last visit that was years ago that was to salty. I would come back and order the filet mignon and scallops. The drinks were good but a bit pricey.

Lee Alley We had hoped another Wenatchee restaurant would become our regular place. And then another place. But we have discovered Shatkis checks all our boxes for my wife and I every time so far. Soft music so people can talk in hushed library voices that does not diminish our romantic date nights. Food has been reliable. Wait service is welcoming, attentive, and delivered with professional elegance. Reservations are reliable.

Kelli Blair Excellent breakfast! My fiance said its the best breakfast hes ever had.I had the Crab Cake Benedict and he had the Olympic Sunrise Breakfast. The breakfast potatoes were garlicky and amazing! And he LOVED the breakfast sausage, which had a hint of sweetness from the maple syrup. We will be back!

T A This was my first introduction to Peruvian food, and I’ve since tried a couple of other places. Pink Salt is still a memorable standout, especially with how the lightness and freshness of the ceviche complemented the stronger flavors of the mains. I don’t drink much and the cocktail was well balanced for me. The portions were pretty decent too - my partner and I both leftovers we took back home. The ambiance is cute. Overall a great experience - would recommend.
