03/22/13 Edgar Martinez [considered one of the greatest players to suit up for the Seattle Mariners] was in at The Mark Olympa last night. He shared the story of El Zacatecano his latest endevor - it is an artisanal Mezcal 100% Weber Blue Agave and 100% organic. Organic, Artisanal this sounds like we might just like to get behind for summer patio nights super fresh margarita/cocktail time! You can see from the photo bartender Ashley is a big sports fan and Mr. Martinez generiously shared a hug with her on his way out, making her day! http://www.elzacatecano.net/ 

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 :)

Patio nights!

Patio nights… friends, cocktails and fresh air…

Summer is comming and were getting the patio garden ready!

Look for my Summer Lavender cake recipe in the Tacoma Tribune you will find it light fresh and lovely! Colored only with organic blueberries… chef lisa scott owen

It’s friday and you deserve a tasty cocktail try: wild tea vodka, organic jasmine green tea chilled, serve on the rocks, a splash of soda or 7up depending on your taste, with a slice of an organic orange to add the finishing touch. Fresh and sophisticated to Mark the beginning of summer.
