I loved the folk-style sort of aesthetic with the decorations scattered everywhere in this place. glad that there were tables, but all with stools only. wine was okay and something you would see on the cheaper section of stores like BevMo, Walmart, etc. not much to do around this plaza square in Yakima, too...

This is the second location in town, the first being at 40th and Summitview. The folks here have put together what may be the best set up in the area. As with the first location, they serve beer, wine, coffee and a few small bites here as well as pastries and gelato. Inside there is seating for 20 or so, with some couches and nice large tables. Outside is an awesome set up with four or five large tables with umbrellas. This is the perfect place to sit outside, sip on a craft brew that was grown in town and watch your kids play on the giant lawn area outside. It is seriously what Starbucks was never able to do with the space! It definitely is not the factory that Starbucks is, so it can take a little bit longer to get your beverage and array is not quite as wide, but for those who are looking for a good local spot, this is it! The gelato is solid though a little expensive. They tend to run specials once a week or so (i.e. Thursday's are but one get one free night) so it's worth the trip at least once in a while! The place just opened so as they work the kinks out, this is likely to become a go to place in town! Its so nice to see the proliferation of local business and this is no exception. It's a perfect place to take the kids so they can run around and you can grab a drink, caffeinated or otherwise!

My son ordered the ginger beer, I had the Cuke and rally which is a cucumber with gin and basil. It was very delicious and refreshing.

The cauliflower would be my favorite and the pork belly was also yummy. We ended the night with berry goat cheese cake. The texture was like a mouse cake which was surprising. This is the best restaurant I have ever tried in Yakima.

From the stunning views over the valley below, to the tasty cocktails, to the wonderful eats it was a great way to chillax on a lovely Saturday evening. Having had a not-great experience with wine (at a different venue) earlier in the day, we opted for cocktails here. My extra dirty martini with cheese-stuffed olives was phenomenal, and my friend enjoyed her old fashioned. We shared a roasted beet and burrata salad as an appy, then moved on to our main courses - I got the prime tenderloin and she got the cider glazed pork. We washed it all down with a couple of chocolate espresso martinis for dessert. My tenderloin was cooked to perfection, and accompanied by some sweet little roasted carrots and a lovely heap of mashed potatoes. My friend reported that her pork was more like a stew, and she really enjoyed it. What really put our experience here over the top was the absolutely amazing service we received, especially from our waiter, Trevor. He was friendly, funny, and helped us navigate the menu when we couldn't decide what to get. He also told us a little about the geological history of the area, which is built over an old coal mine. This place wasn't cheap, but for a fun night out of splurging, it was perfect!
