Absolutely horrible visit due to insanely rude service. My partner and I visited the Lotus Room on…read more1/3/25 for a family member's birthday celebration. This was actually our first time *ever* going to a bar, and our visit here completely ruined the experience for us. After about 10-15 minutes, a staff member asked to check our ID's. My partner attempted to use a digital version of his ID, and the staff member (in an extremely rude tone) said that he had to leave if he couldn't provide proper ID. Totally get that. He tells her that he'll go to his car to get his physical ID, and immediately gets up after their conversation ends. Another 15 minutes rolls around, and the same staff member has came to our table plenty of times. My partner has his ID out to show her. Never comes around until someone from our party gets up to complain about the slow service, and mentions that my partner and I are also still waiting. The staff member tells the person from our party that my partner supposedly left because he couldn't provide an ID. They mention that he only left to retreive his ID from the car, which was communicated to the staff member earlier. A few minutes later, this staff member comes storming up to my partner and begins YELLING and POINTING HER FINGER in his face. She asks him what his deal is, exclaiming that he didn't have his ID, etc. My partner tries to explain that he got it from his car, but she wouldn't even let us get a word in. After a few minutes of her just completely berating us in front of our ENTIRE party and bar, he asks if everything is okay now that he has his physical ID. The staff member begins quizzing him, not believing that it's actually his, and asks him to verify his name and birthdate. Obviously he passed, and she gives him back the ID. Right after, she turns to me and yells, "What do you want?!" I was completely taken aback, not realizing that she was trying to take my drink order. We place our order and attempt to enjoy the rest of the night, but the staff member wouldn't stop bothering us about Washington State laws. I swear she came over 5 times, just completely berating us and making us feel insanely uncomfortable. If you read this review and think, well duh. You need an ID to get into a bar. Let me once again clarify that it was our first time *ever* visiting a bar. I completely understand that this staff member was trying to protect herself and the business from serving alcohol to underage individuals, but the treatment we faced was out of line. There was no reason for her to be screaming at us, pointing her finger in my partner's face, or consistently bothering us about laws throughout the rest of our visit. It could've been resolved in a much better manner. Ultimately, we won't be returning to the Lotus Room, which totally sucks because we love their whole concept of drinks and karaoke. In fact, we probably won't feel comfortable in the bar scene for a while. My one recommendation for the Lotus Room is that if you're going to scream in customer's faces, get someone to check ID's at the door.

We quickly decided that this is a place we will be coming back to! It's literally an indoor golf campus with five or six simulation Stations where you get to choose between what seemed like hundreds of different courses and play them with as many or as few people as you'd like, for a predetermined amount of time. They've also got a putting green, and you can bring your own clubs or rent some there. We grabbed one of the stalls for two hours, and five of us had a great time! The set up is pretty quick and you can make it so you can save your information and follow yourself overtime. It's pretty cool to be able to develop a handicap on the simulator! I've got a full bar and basically Gastropub type food. The bacon cheeseburger that I had was quite good, as were the shared nachos, wings and cheese curds. Prices are not outrageous and the beer and liquor selection was actually pretty solid. The place is super relaxed and the service was quick and friendly. This is a spot that I will be back to with friends, and probably a spot I will take my boys to practice. The place chill enough that it's the sort of place you can take kids, your significant other, or meet up with a bunch of buddies. It was nice to not be rowdy, but also to not have to be quiet like on an actual golf course.

The halibut dish was tasty but had VERY LITTLE fish in it! would have preferred an actual filet rather than a couple bits of shredded fish mixed in. The fluffy rhubarb cocktail was delicious. Loved the open concept, you can watch the chefs at work- floor plan is simple & clean, with a western farmhouse vibe. Service was excellent, very friendly, informative and attentive

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. We shared the hamachi, cauliflower, pork belly and halibut dishes. All were great except the halibut rice dish was too salty for me. 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.

LISTEN.... YAKIMA HAS ITSELF A TRUE EXPERIENCE OF A RESTAURANT!…read more Had the opportunity to come to Cowiche this past weekend with the family. We had ourselves a time. Not only is this place beautiful, the wait staff is absolutely cream of the crop. Old fashions, margaritas, steak frites, artichoke, wedge salad, burgers, need I say more?? The cook on everything was fabulous and again their team was awesome. My only complaint is the wait was long for any of our food to come out but after that it was great.

Quirky Irish themed decor, strong drinks, and a surprisingly killer menu. Have been popping in here periodically for 30+ years (in the 90s it was our go-to for cocktails when the now-defunct dance club was next door). Last weekend we were looking for somewhere to wind down on a Sunday night to watch the Seahawks game, have a couple drinks and some dinner. The super friendly bartender seemed to be masterfully running the whole front of house alone. Never disappointed by the food here: Hubs had the corned beef & cabbage and I had the Blarney Burger (double patty with a fried egg) side of delicious potato salad. The portions were big so we took enough home to have for lunch the next day. Local favorite!

First, I walked in the door, and wasn't sure what to do, as it looked as though the dining room was not in use. I walked to the bar and it had quite a few people in so I asked the bar tender should I sit anywhere. She told me sure, she'd be right with me. She seemed busy and very distracted (having bar tended I know what it can be like) however, when she finally came up wait on me she seemed annoyed! She didn't have any clue what to recommend for cider (come on, its an Irish pub), again I heard the table next to me ask for Irish beer, again she seemed annoyed and told them they won't get anything like that here (really, at an Irish pub)! Not impressed! However, the reason I gave 2 stars is because of the decor, and Frank, the server who took over after the first waitress left! He was great! He was attentive, very friendly, and an excellent waiter. Now, to the food! Gross! I pulled my fish ssnebich apart cause it was so greasy I almost couldn't eat it! The halibut was way over cooked, it was tough and the outside with soaked with grease! For me, this is the nail in the coffin! As a chef, and food critique, I know I'm picky, but I would never have allowed the sandwich I was served to leave my kitchen! The decor, and the quaint wee dining room was a great place to eat lunch! However, the music was too loud, and it was classic rock, which in other atmospheres would not be an issues, but again, this is supposed to be an Irish pub! What this actually is, is an American bar that maybe at one time was run like an Irish pub, but it's not anymore! Makes me sad cause I thought maybe I found a place to go when we are in Yakima! Not so much! I hope they make some changes, but it seems there are lots of locals who are not there for the good and instead are there for American beer!

My toddler had space to play without interrupting anyone. I ordered fries right off the bat for said toddler and they came out quickly. Amazing fries and fry sauce, the sauce has a little bit of a kick to it which I enjoyed. For the table we had motz sticks and fried ravioli. The motz sticks had a nice cheese pull and were decent. I wasn't a fan of the ravioli, just personal preference. I ordered the working man burger and wow was I impressed with the HUGE well cooked patty, smoked cheese, bacon and garlic aioli. I could honestly only eat about 1/4 of the burger after the appetizers. I can however confirm the burger and fries reheated well at home in the microwave.
