Visiting family in Yakima with my wife we stopped in on a Thursday night. We were able to get into what looked like a fairly busy restaurant right away. We had parmesan panko crusted halibut with risotto and creme brulee for dessert. Everything was delicious, service was efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend this place!
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with beautiful trees wrapped in white lights to usher you in. There is a beautiful bar area with plenty of high top tables if you prefer. It is a very lively place and the staff all appeared to be happy to work there. We elected to share a plate, and they were not only willing too, but also did a beautiful job with the presentation. We met the owner, and my side was hurting as a result of his funny yet appropriate humor. I highly recommend putting this on your must visit list!
Lovely dining experience as a first time guest. The atmosphere is great with nice lighting that sets the tone. Friendly wait staff and a menu with great selections. Wine and bread are perfect starter. The food is well plated and is delicious. I would recommend for nice overall dinning experience.
Very good food, the server was lovely. The only thing I didn’t like was we were facing the bar and the bartending was eating behind the bar while working. Not pleasant to watch but other than that it was fantastic.
Food was soooo good. I’d like to specifically note that the chicken breast was made to perfection. Very well seasoned and some of the juiciest chicken I have had in a while. The drinks were great and the service was top tier (: highly recommend going here! They take reservations (:
New favorite restaurant in Yakima! Excellent food, great service, generous portions. We celebrated our recent wedding anniversary at Zesta Cucina and were very happy.
