Last night we had the most incredible meal and our waitress was the cutest- super friendly and accommodating! It was a full house as usual but very very loud we didn't talk much as it was kind of pointless and would have to yell to even be heard- at that point I was wishing I had made a res for the patio out back lol. We had the tomato & peach salad that was to die for! We ate the entire plate! Then we ordered the black cod which is my favorite fish- so tender and flaky, loved the addition of meaty lions Mane mushrooms and a miso slaw! Hubby had the skirt steak- so tender, perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth! Loads of flavor. The heirloom tomato that came with it was killer as well! Our waitress kept bringing dishes to the table that she thought we would like, as an apology for "the wait" (which we weren't worried about in the least) but were very grateful to receive!The bread roll and green beans, so so good! Thank you so much!

Unlike many restaurants, Second Street Grill steps up to the plate and delivers on its promises. From the moment we were seated, our server Natalie became our most trusted advisor. She answered questions and was super helpful. She was buoyant and just amazing. The wait time was not forever, and the food was hot and tasty. No need to ask for refills, because Natalie kept on top of her duties like a boss. Now. I ordered fish and chips. The expectation was those little diamond shaped fish pucks with some shoestring fries. Nope. It came straight through a wormhole from an Irish pub. I would swear to it. The most delicious outside of halibut that I caught myself. I gotta go cuz the wife is ready, but... DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!!!

The first is the consistency of the food. There have been ongoing issues with keeping regular food items in stock. It has been disappointing when we go and hope to get certain items and they have a substitute which is not even close to being good. Also the past two summers the restaurant is ridiculously hot, The AC is obviously not working. We feel so bad for the staff. It's 95 degrees and its cooler outside than inside the restaurant. One time we went and it smelled of BO because everyone was so hot. Unfortunately we won't go back during the summer because it's just so miserable. Hopefully they can do a better job of taking care of their staff.

A hotel restaurant. Bernie, our server, said he "started the hotel about 13 years ago." He's a…read moregood conversationalist and when asked, he recommended the spicy Portuguese sausage. I decided on something else. The restaurant is not "permanently closed" but it might be closed occasionally for dinner, as was the case on Super Bowl Sunday. It seems mostly a hotel guests visit here (1 other couple on Monday AM). Current menus are included with this review. Full-service Breakfast is not free at this hotel however my party of 2 received a $15 voucher prize. I had the country fried steak breakfast which was fine. Spouse had the veggie skillet which includes 2 eggs and cheese, which was good. Not 5 stars because the water tastes bad, with and without ice; apparently it's not filtered. Consider bottled water maybe, or order a drink.

Talk about awesome service. Judy at the bar is great and makes sure your glasses stay full. My…read moresecond time at this hotel and having the benefit of a restaurant is great. It's good for evenings when you don't want to go out after a long day. It's good for a night cap. It's also good if you just want a great meal without having to drive anywhere. Decent drink prices. Good can be a bit pricey for a hotel but given the restaurant around and their price tab I don't fault them. Tonight had the Mobley burger with cheese and steak fries. YUM. Way better than my meal yesterday at a restaurant down the street that had great reviews but my experience wasn't great. I'd definitely hang out here if you're staying at the hotel. Definitely a way better choice than leaving to go elsewhere.

The food and cocktails were amazing, service excellent. The restaurant was a standalone building on the outskirt of Yakima. It's a bit more upscale with a nice and warm ambiance. Definitely recommended.

Food was passable, but service was absolutely the worst…read more Waiter (Marcus F) was probably the worst I have had in a while. I ordered two apps and an iced tea. He asked if I wanted bread with my meal. I said "Sure". Well bread is $5. Not a big deal, but would be nice to mention or at least bring a nice warm bread? Neither happened! Bread was hard and cold. Menus still on the table. App one arrived, then app two arrived. Still no iced tea. Then he came around the corner after being absent for 10-15 min; app one was already finished. Then I caught him doing a 180 and then come back with my tea. At this point about 30 min since I sat down, he asked if I was ready to order. Really? I was done, asked for a refill on the tea and a check. He took the glass and came back with same glass refilled. Now maybe I am being picky here, but if you take the glass, then just bring a fresh one. Dont just top of the melted ice with tea. Old lemon wedged between the ice and new one on top. Overall: Place is busy. Food is ok, but they could do better!

After letting the hostess know that we had arrived for our reservation, they let us know that they were busy and that we had to complete our meal within an a time frame. After being shown to our table, we were given menus, and then we begin to browse. We decided to get the goat cheese appetizer. This is really interesting because it came with green onions and cranberries. Overall, this dish tasted really good. It comes hot so it's best to eat it right away. We then also got the sausage and pepperoni pizza to share. The portion was a good size and it was delicious. You can tell it came straight out of the oven. For our main entrées, we got the hot sausage and veg penne pasta, as well as the Gorgonzola lemon tortellini. Both of the portions were a good size. I personally enjoyed the Gorgonzola lemon tortellini, which was tasty and very rich. My partner got the hot sausage and veg penne pasta and unfortunately it didn't hit. They said it just didn't mesh well together and needed a sauce or something to bring it together. After a meal, we were able to get some to go boxes and enjoy our leftovers the next day. We did not end up using all of the time that they had told us initially.

My friends and I went wine tasting in the Yakima area for the day and decided to stop by here after dinner, per the recommendation of the bartenders at the restaurant we ate at and the gals sitting next to us. Speaking of the gals sitting next to us during dinner, we ended up spotting them here at The Sports Center later on, so they definitely weren't lying about this being the hang out spot. The Sports Center had a lot going on, with one room blasting live music and a dance floor and the other room where most of the people were with pool, darts and tables for lounging and drinking. My friends and I hung out around the front room where the band was performing and we were the only ones dancing. Kind of weird how no one else joined in. So then we went to the other room to play pool. Not the best bar to hang out in, but I guess you could say it's where to be in Yakima on a Saturday night.
