Near many restaurants and Costco. Breakfast area offered two types of coffee, tasty scrambled eggs, crispy bacon or turkey sausage, two types of pocket egg omelets (but push the lid all the way up), oatmeal, several juice choices, machine made pancakes, two yogurt choices, oat milk, hard boiled eggs, fruit pieces and bananas, cream cheese, peanut butter, lip smacking cinnamon rolls and other pastries, and a staff that was always wiping counters down. There are many two-and four+ tops low and high tables to eat your meal. Only dings are that the TV was not set to show close captions at all times as required by state law and why not turn off the sound so we can eat in peace without distractions, the pool and hot tub was being remodeled and closed, and they should put extra sheets and blankets on top of the armoire or underneath the bench in the room instead of putting them in the dresser drawers.

Its a nice and affordable venue, but be prepared to have your deposit deducted. She claims that…read moreshe'll return it if "cleaned and undamaged", but she'll find something to deduct an amount from you. Her excuse for me was feminine garbage in the women's restroom and it had to be remopped. Then after she looked into it, she said the $50 deduction from the deposit was to "remop cause sometimes mopping is done but it's not enough." - nothing mentioned about garbage. I even told her the venue counters and fridge we're not properly wiped before my event, and I didn't make a big deal about it. I just cleaned them before using them. She immediately responded that she knew they were cause she "cleaned after them because they didn't clean" - referring to the people who used the venue before me. So she probably withheld their deposit too. I'd tell you to take pictures or video of the venue before and after, but I don't think that will change anything. She'll still find a reason to deduct from the deposit. And there ain't nothing you can do, except take legal action OR let her screw you. So fare warning!

Owner tried to accuse us/our guests of cutting a wire in the kitchen next to an outlet that was…read morenever there to begin with. The picture she sent me with the wire circled was her "evidence" and taken from a far. If we damaged something, why wouldn't you take a pic of it close up? Check your cameras, they're all over the hall. Sent her the original video of the hall after we cleaned everything with proof that the wire was never there. Scam! She also deducted $40 off deposit due to "bathroom/toilets wipe down" when she said we did a very good job cleaning. There was months worth of nasty residue from past events in the mens urinal that I tried to clean my best so that may be why but not my fault build up residue was never cleaned before renting the hall to others. Not to mention I had to be the one constantly asking for updates on my deposit, since the owner wouldn't update me. Would not recommend this place, be careful with halls that require deposits. They'll do anything to not give you the full amount or try and scam you.

State fair Park has been around for a long time, and as the name would suggest it houses the central Washington State fair each year! Each year, during these last couple weeks of September the fair decisions on State fair Park, did we have plenty of opportunities to see what has been fried, who threw the biggest pumpkin, and animals and everything in between. It's no b always quite lovely! As for the remainder of the year, this place has a number of large buildings for various gatherings, plays Home to the Sundome - Home of the Sunkings, as well as of plenty other community events. Numerous charities such as toys for tots hold their pick up and drop off events here, and the facilities also are the grounds for the Yakima pippins, a college level all star summer league baseball team. Finally, there are grandstands and a large dirt field outback where events such as Dozer days! When all is said and done, the place is an eclectic I mix of different venues that can accommodate plenty of different types of events. It's been there for quite some time, and over the past few years they seem to have done a nice job of exploring how they can utilize the space more completely. Keep up the good work!

I just love when its time for the fair. Those 10 days is awesome! A bit expensive but well worth it.read more

Fast forward 20 years and we had the opportunity to come out here for a restaurant week special. Brad, the owner, is a huge proponent of the culinary scene in town and was one of the first people to sign up for the inaugural Yakima Valley restaurant week and as such we obviously had to check it out again! Birchfield manor, as the name implies, is indeed a large home. It's got a relatively large dining area downstairs that encompasses a couple of rooms. It holds roughly 30 people and there are a number of bed-and-breakfast type rooms upstairs as well as in an accompanying facility next-door. The place feels much more out in the country than it actually is. It's about five minutes from the freeway and literally three blocks from a bale breaker's brewery! For the restaurant week festivities, they put on a special $25 per person, three-course dinner. It was downright amazing! Brad is an incredibly talented chef and really showcased his talents this evening. We had six at our table so we ended up sampling a bit of everything. The wine list is solid and highlighted a lot of local wines with the remained being from Washington state. Bravo! It started off with some delicious bread and probably the best butter that any of us have ever experienced. It's rare that I am significantly impressed by butter, but they definitely did it here. It had some really nice herbs in it and reset alongside some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The bread was a combination of freshly baked loves and some cheddar biscuits. Definitely ate a lot more bread than we should've! The Grilled bread salad was magnificent. Tomatoes, lovely greens, mozzarella and grilled croutons made it one of the more memorable salads I've ever had. For the main course, our table basically passed around the different dishes that were available. They included a Lamb Bolognaise, A steak Diane and the signature dish - King Salmon en Croute. All of them were absolutely delicious. The steak Diane was particularly good. The sauce was really nice and the meet was done just perfectly. It takes a lot to impress us with steak, but they definitely did it here. The salmon dish was also particularly good. It was basically a king salmon fillet in a puff pastry with a Yakima Chardonnay sauce. The accoutrements were elegantly done and included some sautéed vegetables, cylindrical couscous and some very nice zucchini with tomatoes on top. The presentation was wonderful and everything was good enough to share or keep to yourself, whatever your pleasure! For dessert, a delicious double chocolate cake was the initial delight with the fabled chocolate swan making rounds to finish the night! It was all a perfect ending to a great evening. By the end of the night we were impressed with the food, drink, decor and the service- hard to not love everything they're doing here! We'll be back for an occasion other than restaurant week, soon!
