    We have now visited Yakima twice and loved this place so much that we made an advance reservation to go yet again. The online description doesn’t do it justice: beautiful mod decor, fabulous/attentive service and delicious food. Their homemade guacamole is the best we’ve ever had and their skinny fries are a must. 🎉

    Cowiche Creek Brewing has a great selection of local beers plus now they have an in-house kitchen! We all ordered hamburgers which were absolutely delicious! I believe they grind the beef & form the patties themselves and the selection to choose from for toppings is wonderful. The french fries were awesome, too. We will be back!

    WaterFire has the most incredible appetizers in Eastern Washington. The atmosphere and people are excellent although the last time I went it was noisier than usual. Entrees are very good but seem to consistently underperform in comparison to the appetizers (but are still delicious 😋).
