RICARDO'S, Lacey

A restaurant in Lacey that makes you go WOW! They are so good.

When you first pull up, off Lacey Blvd., it's hard to expect much from what looks like a single story rambler. But boy do looks deceive!

The ambience inside is very inviting, peaceful and mature. Not for the little ones. It's a little cramped, but the wonderful service makes that almost unnoticable. The wait staff is attentive, professional, and very attentive - making you feel like you're the only ones there.

We've frequented this establishment maybe half a dozen times, and all but once, did they live up to their own standard time and time again.

You start off with some wonderful homebread bread (which the owner suggested was great for French Toast the next day). I can highly recommend their salads, flavorful bisques, wonderful crab cakes, and the desserts are homemade and to die for. We thoroughly enjoy the "Big Pappa" or the Stuffed Pork Chop - both so heavenly with their taste, sauces and presentation.

Hands down, the best food in Lacey! Give 'em a try!!

What a pleasant surprise. The food was SO delicious and I felt like I was back in Europe. We will be back for sure. Fresh ingredients with lots of flavor! The coffee was great too! Hardly had room for dessert!
