    The seasons is a place that I had heard about for a long time, but only recently where we able to…read morecheck it out. This may very well be one of our favorite new venues. It's intimate, classy and has that perfect local feeling, all wrapped up into one spot. It's located downtown near the YMCA and I believe it's an old Orthodox Church, at least based on what it looks like. For a few hours every week, there's an area open in the front of the building where you can buy "I Heart Yakima" merchandise. In addition, they have art displays there that rotate throughout the year. On the opposite side of the building is the auditorium. It's a beautiful spot that appears to be an old church sanctuary.They're beautiful Stainglass windows flanking the sides as well as a dome top it is absolutely spectacular. The stage is not overly large, but accommodates a band quite nicely. Seating is church pews as well as small tables and chairs upfront. There's main floor seating as well as balcony seating. The balcony stuff is pretty rad, as it gives you a little bit better vantage point and has some sections that have a very old-school theater type feel - Like something you would see out of a movie about Ford's theater, but without the tragedy. The shows that they've got here I've become increasingly great and this year have included some world-class jazz, Bluegrass as well as some up-and-coming artists. While the acoustics here are not perfect, they're solid and the intimate nature of the place makes for a wonderful evening. And because this is Yakima, the folks that come here are super friendly and will often come and mingle with the crowd afterwards. The most expensive tickets that we've seen here were $45 for a band that won a Grammy eight months ago! This is one of the coolest venues that we've had the pleasure of attending shows at and one that we are really excited to continue to support. You guys running it are doing a great job of bringing an eclectic array of art, music and theater into the area and it's absolutely something to check out.

    Dancing to live music can be religious, so it was fairly fitting to see (and dance to) a Cuban…read moreSon/Cha Cha Cha band at a concert hall which used to be a church (1st Church of Christ Scientist). Complete with rays of colored light shining in through the stained glass we showed up early for a dance lesson of Cuban Son--this old style of dance (grandmother to modern salsa) is hard but elegant looking. After the lesson was the show. The venue is pretty dang awesome [solid 4.5 stars on a first visit]. The acoustics were top notch. I made a quick scan of the entire space and there really isn't a bad seat. Their is a huge balcony. There is an open space near the stage for dancing (I clumsily tried my hat with salsa, and we had a few ruedas going as well). They served some refreshments as well as beer and wine when we were there. . . Visiting the "Palm Springs of Washington", sitting in a pew with a bottle of beer tucked into the bible/hymn book holder, listening to traditional Cuban Son, and dancing sexy moves in a former church....it was surely surreal... . . ...And made me a fan of The Seasons. There will be a summer series of Latin music over the summer, and I can't wait to check it out again (although, I think these shows will be outside--first one is July 2nd). Amen.

    We were in town visiting and wanted to have a nice glass of wine. It was a little late and the…read morewineries were closed. The gal at the hotel told us to try Kana! It's in downtown Yakima - there's plenty of parking, but it's busy down there ... and we were there Saturday evening! The building is nice and there's a pretty sidewalk in front. We entered and there was live music! We sat at the bar and a young man greeted us and started pouring. We talked about the wines and how the bar was started. We enjoyed the wines - some were actually very nice and a couple had a good 10+ years of aging! My better half had a full glass after, I had a local IPA. We liked it so much, we bought a couple bottles and we joined their wine club! It was such a pleasant place - I wish we had a place like that here in our town. Highly recommended! I almost forgot - their wines are very reasonably priced and they're also well made with very good grapes!

    went here for a cheap wine tasting of $10 and it is nice that they waive this fee if you buy a…read morebottle. but, the wine tasting was very underwhelming... could not sit down at the bar area because no chairs available. staff did a good job in memorizing the winery menu and seemed knowledgeable about the winemaking process, but the social cues and connection was lacking. felt no warmth in the conversation -- very robotic. 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...

    Stopped at Bill's Place while I was in Yakima and got an order to go. I was really impressed with…read moreeverything I tried. I got the traditional cheeseburger and added an extra patty. It is kind of like a smash burger, but the patties are actually decently thick and still have that really good grilled crust on the outside. The burger was cooked really well and the bun was one of the best parts. It is bigger and a little heavier than a normal burger bun, and it held everything together really well. I also got the buffalo wings and thought they were really good. You get a great portion for the price and they had plenty of flavor. I also tried the grilled cheese with bacon added. It comes on sourdough and was grilled perfectly. Really simple, but really good. The fries were also very good, although I definitely recommend eating them right away while they are hot. They did not hold up quite as well after sitting in the takeout box for a while. I only went inside long enough to pick up my food, but the bar itself was actually really nice. It had a much better atmosphere than I was expecting. If I am ever back in Yakima, I would definitely stop in again and actually sit down for a burger and a drink.

We've always sat in the main part of the Tavern, but the first person arriving chose to sit in the side room which seems to be a back-up supplies room with a long table for guests since it was quieter. It was quieter. No matter the sitting location, the service has always been great. I had the Reuben sandwich, and it was excellent--flavorful, well made, and generously portioned. Even better, they actually had horseradish available, which is surprisingly hard to find and made the whole thing even better for me. A solid, satisfying meal with plenty to take home half for the next day. I'll definitely be back.
