    The chef and the bartender never disappoint. When fresh halibut is offered we always order it. The portion size is large compared to elsewhere, it’s always cooked to perfection and the presentation is always beautiful. The bartender makes a perfect martini. The service is always right on the mark. The sunroom is roomier than the main area and has a much better view of the river. My only complaint is their limited time for dining. Up to 4 people you are limited to dining for 90 minutes and they will ask you to leave after that time period AT BUSY TIMES. If possible, I suggest dining here on the weekdays they are open and at less busy times. If you like to dine rather than eat and run, and drive 90 minutes round trip to dine here, the time limit sucks. The experience is worth it so try to go when they aren’t crowded.

    As always, the food and service was outstanding…our favorite place in Yakima to eat out. Chef Derrin is an excellent chef, the staff is always so friendly, and we never have to wait long. High marks all around!

    Disappointed that our steak came out cold, slightly over cooked, and no steak sauce in sight. Do appreciate the extra effort in trying to make right. Burgers are definitely their specialty and they do an awesome job, along with the ice cream. Next adventure…. the wing!

    When I eat out I want the food to be as good or better than what I can fix at home. Both the food and the service are consistently excellent at Hoist House - and it is the restaurant we frequent more than any other in the area. We most often come in for lunch - and enjoy the flatbreads and salads (they have a wonderful Caesar that is excellent topped with blackened steelhead!) . For dinner, you can't beat the steak - but I had a pork tenderloin the other night (with braised red cabbage and potatoes) that melted in my mouth. Can't wait to enjoy those leftovers! We love the vibe in this beautiful lodgy building - and switch it up between the high tops in the bar and the comfy couches in the lobby. The restaurant space is great for a more special occasion. And once the sun is shining, you can't beat the outdoor space overlooking the golf course. And finally, the wine. Also consistently excellent!
