So, We know I'm from Alaska. So when I order fish and chips, I usually expect a monstrous let…read moredown. I was wrong. 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!!!!!

They were training someone new and they kept dropping dishes and trays in the back (7 times, we counted) and everyone used good humor about the poor new staff... my competely sober aunt fell backward in her chair and landed next to another diners' booth- our server was again, so patient and kind helping her up. They tolerated the mess my eight year old inevitably made as she disemboweled her hamburger and made my grandma feel special on her special day. We loved their caesar salad, their halibut and their stuffed mushrooms.

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. Make sure you stop by if you find yourself in yak town!

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.

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.

The service was friendly, and I'd say that everyone made me feel welcome, they seemed warm and it was early in the morning and sometime you can get people who aren't the friendliest. I had an orange juice and a caramel macchiato for my drink, and then I had the Benedict which I posted a picture of with the stuffed hashbrowns. I will say that the Benedict did not allow me. I would give them a 6.9 out of 10. Maybe it's me, but it just didn't have the flavor I was expecting. The stuffed hash browns were good. I give them an 8.9 out of 10 and as a total for the experience, I would rate it roughly.... An 8/10. I think that I would be back to try them for something different. I definitely would encourage you guys to try it yourselves

My wife…read moreand I have never been huge bar people, and with three kids at home, there are limited evenings out at a spot like this. I have to say that after coming here for a friends 40th birthday, this is the type of spot we would hang out! We came on a Saturday evening for karaoke which started at nine and went to the wee hours of the morning. The cuddled up to the bar and some friends played pulltabs for something like two hours. They have a decent beer selection including some local stuff and a number of pool tables and dartboards on the area opposite the karaoke. The bartenders were all very nice and took really good care of everyone here, despite it being crazy. I didn't have a chance to sample any of the food, but they had a rather extensive list of burgers and sandwiches. I think it's a sort of spot we're going to need to come back to for lunch someday! Pulltabs are definitely not my thing, but for those that enjoy them, they had something like 20 different options. A good spot to check out if you're looking for somewhere to hang or dive bar at which to do karaoke.
