Birchfield manor is a place that we rarely went to growing up. It's always been an upper tier place…read moreand aside from weddings or special occasions, we didn't go out there very often. 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!

I called the day of to confirm... There was no confirmation. Why? Because I had not filled out some stupid form via email regarding food allergies. I had told her I was driving cross country and did not have convenient access to email when I made the reservation. UNBELIEVABLE!!! She is a horrible listener. She has no idea who the customer is and like I said, I had to repeat myself over and over again with repetitive information because she just couldn't get the reservation right. DO NOT spend your money here. Bad people! UPDATE (10/13/2014): For the record I received a nasty email from the Inn staff today. I considered it hostile, insulting and threatening.

Bed and pillows were comfortable, which helped me feel refreshed for the next day. My co-worker and I arrived early and our rooms were not ready. That's fine, but there is no real business center for us to set up and do a couple hours of work on our laptops while we waited. Plenty of greeting room-type seating and knee-level tables, but nothing really functional. We would have had to rent a business space to get an outlet and a reasonably ergonomic table. The evening reception was very basic but nice experience. The breakfast was basic (scrambled eggs, potatoes, and a meat) with a few other things - but very salty. It is plated for you, so it takes something away from the buffet style of getting what you want. My co-worker, on the other hand, had a very unpleasant experience in a room that smelled like dirty dog trying to be covered by strong chemicals. He suffered through it because it was only one night.

The only real negative for the room was that the shower didn't have great pressure, and it squirted all over the floor because of the design of the shower. The only negative for the hotel for me was the group of people without masks in the lobby in the morning. State mandate is masks required indoors for everyone regardless of vaccination status. That was really disappointing that it wasn't enforced because these people seemed to be a part of a wedding that was occurring on site. I'm safe, because I'm masked but it's disappointing to see that the hotel doesn't enforce the requirement. Which makes me wonder if it is as safe as they suggest. Just a thought y'all. Overall, I'd definitely stay again next year after The Gorge!

Now the bad: - Hotel was undergoing renovations, which was not mentioned on the Hilton website, as usual protocol with chains. Dust and Dirt, can't access lobby from elevator,etc. - Room is TINY. This is a Tru by Hilton size room. - Location noise. While not NY, it's still got pretty darn loud from street traffic (engine revving, etc). Then throw in the train that comes around night and day. - Parking is $15/day. Really, on top of the $200+ a night stay in Yakama? Then the underground garage is tight AF, so good luck navigating your truck/SUV around the pylons. - Breakfast $12 - Almost laughable. It's a tiny table tucked away with some random pastries. I am in the area quite a bit and usually stay at the other Hilton or Marriott properties, but they were sold out the week I was there. If faced with the same option again, will just go to Holliday Inn.
