No one to seat us, no one behind the bar, no one serving other tables. We stood there for a moment before seating ourselves, but when ten minutes later no one had emerged to give us a menu or really anything at all, we just left. Clearly someone was working there, as some of the other folks there had food, but it didn't feel appropriate to barge into the kitchen area to demand service. One shouldn't have to demand service at all, in my opinion. That this happened in regular lunch hours on a Saturday indicates a staffing issue, and I'd expected better from a place that is so highly rated.

(well technically, it was a gas plant first, but then began to sing the body electric in 1905). :::: Fast-forward: 2011 :::: This is when this art decco powerhouse transformed to a stylish playhouse in the style of Shakespeare. This theater had been on my radar for the last couple of years, and my timing just never worked out for venturing down to the hills of wine and to make a visit to the theater....until Winter 2012. On a blustery cold evening, I needed to make a trip down to Walla Walla. I made myself go. I had to. NPR advertised about the Power House's production of "It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play!", for weeks, and I was intrigued and pulled Walla Walla-ward. I was interested by the production, but I was also looking for an excuse to case the joint! ;) I love old theaters (especially if they've been renovated Gangnam Style...sorry, just wanted to say that phrase...not sure who reads these reviews all the way anyway!) ;) The renovation, I believe, is still a work in progress. I heard they are still working on the roof...and the audience & actors noticed this throughout the evening as the winds howled and banged on what seemed like only a tin roof. (A member of the staff came upstairs to the balcony and offered seats downstairs to us if we were too cold. I didn't mind, but some took him up on his offer---I wanted the full environmental experience! I wanted the chance to tell stories about way back in the olden days when I went to the Powerhouse to see a play, and how the roof almost blew off!) Other than the roof, the facility is top notch. (well, I think the roof adds character along with the expose brick, too). From the lobby, stage, seating, to restrooms, the facility is updated with modernity. And that's what I like. The duality of a renovated structure is attractive. I can't wait to come back for a Shakespearean or modern play. You'll find me looking for excuses to come here again, and again---look for me in the balcony!

However, the food strictly only for the buffet was just alright. While it was a pretty cheap buffet, (around 18.50 for the day I went), the food was sitting under heatlamps and not the best. It also ran out at some point and didn't get refilled for at least 20 minutes. The selection also wasn't great, with around 6 options overall for food. However, I love cheap buffets with mid food, so this was just the place for me! If you are fine with low quality but infinite food, definitely check out the lunch buffet. I'm sure the actual a la carte food is much better, although I can't speak on that.

One word: CAVERNOUS!!…read more Yes, this is a space in Sunnyside which opened up a couple months ago, and they have been touting themselves as a venue for live music. For the last couple of weeks this place has brought in a cool salsa band from Portland (Pilon d'Azucar); when I was there they also had a Spanish rock band from Portland open things up. But yes, this space is ginormous! I guess it makes sense, this place used to be a K-Mart back in the day. So when you walk in, if you squint and plug your ears, you can probably remember the Blue-Light Specials. When I was here, they had a place selling tacos & soda, then you walk further in and see the stage to the right. It was cordoned off with gates & hay bales (yes, I said hay bales. We ARE in Sunnyside!). There was quite a bit of security. Well, there were three people from what I could see...that seemed like a lot considering all the empty space in here. So, I guess more people showed up here when I was here compared to the week before (we had a big contingent of salsa addicts from the Tri-Cities exodus on up here). Overall, I liked most of what was here. I mean, you have to give props to anyone for bringing in a salsa band to Eastern Washington. My major complaint: acoustics. Yeah, everything was perfect except for the sound. Maybe they new the acoustics were bad, and tried to blur it out by turning up the speakers to "11". I say this because basically we all needed ear plugs (one of our friends was a lifesaver and went to Wal-Mart to pick up a pack of ear plugs). So yeah, for me I had a hard time finding the beat...either it was because of the loudness or because of dizziness incurred by wearing ear plugs. But from what I could see, the band looked good (they rocked the house at Islands Casino in Kennewick a month ago). Here's to hoping the acoustics can be improved. Because this venue has the potential to be really cool! (C'mon, I'm sure when they announced "Blue Light Specials" back in the day, people had no issue hearing).

My sister and I paid for doubles (lol that you pay extra for doubles) and they were $12 each! In Seattle, even that is exorbitant but it's fine because we were supporting the local and only (therefore premier) gay bar. My sister and I then went outside and smoked a joint with a drag queen. It was amazing. Unfortunately, the staff did not think so and despite smoking marijuana outside the premises we were prohibited from re-entry (oh there's also a cover lols) because we were clearly inebriated because they could smell the stench.
