Not being a local, I can't say how this compares to other dining options in Yakima. It seemed like your typical nice-enough American restaurant. Not particularly memorable, but a safe option, especially for a group. Ambiance was generically classy.
Service wasn't bad. Five of us went to a late dinner when seating was fairly plentiful. First I ordered the ahi tuna salad. The server returned to inform me they were out of the tuna (there went my second choice, the ahi steak). After quick deliberation, I asked for the shrimp salad. This time it took a while before the server returned to tell me the shrimp, unfortunately, was also out.
Not wanting to delay the meal any longer, I took a gamble on the Asian nachos from the small plates menu with a side of asparagus (the only ala carte side, as far as a could tell). The nachos, comprising fried wontons, ginger chicken, cheese, peanut sauce, and cabbage (coleslaw) were ok. Maybe over-flavored with the peanut sauce and chicken seasoning? In my opinion, shredded chicken instead of diced would've plated better and it could've used more veggies or something to enhance the flavor composition - maybe carrots and fresh cilantro? I left half the empty wontons on the plate. The asparagus was mushy.
None of the other entrees in my party looked very exciting either; unless thick-cut  fries and greasy battered fish makes your heart pitter-pat.
The menu, as a whole, offered a decent (but not generous) variety - that is, IF they'd had all the ingredients!
I'd probably be more disappointed if I'd footed the bill myself, but since beggars can't be choosers, I'll just agree with some of the other reviewers: Nothing to write home about.
We were in Zillah for some wine tasting and someone referred us to Creekside West for dinner. Â It was a Saturday about 7pm and we were able to walk right in and find a comfy seat in the bar area. Â We ordered the Asian nachos and steak skewers to start with. Â The nachos were really yummy. Â It was a nice blend of flavors. Â The steak skewers were so tender. Â The appetizers had us really excited for dinner.
My husband ordered the lamb and I had the steak. Â My steak was so unbelievably tender. Â It's almost like you could cut it with your fork. Â It came with mashed potatoes and asparagus with a creamy Gorgonzola sauce.
We will definitely be back when we're in the area. Â If anything for the Happy Hour appetizers.
We went here on a busy Saturday night - and I was duly impressed for what Yakima had to offer - great service, and wine (which I would hope goes without saying, as its location) and really good food.
When our dinner was delayed (we had finished a bottle at that point), they brought us vouchers for our next visit, which was a nice gesture.
Overall a really nice experience...
I have eaten there several times since it has opened and have been mildly impressed. the scenery and service is great. Good wine selection and the menu items are inventive and exciting. The big thing that I am not impressed with is the taste. I can say it is good but nothing to get ecstatic about. This is an upscale restaurant (for Yakima), I expect better. I still cannot figure out why there is not a restaurant here in Yakima which has yet to open that parallels Seattle dining. Can't wait for the day when that happens.
Review Source:My husband and I went for dinner the other night and sat in the bar. The service was great and the food was good average. I had a spinach salad with steak and my husband had beef tenderloin. It was early in the evening and they were out of rice pilaf. We had the crab cakes for an appetizer which was ok, but not fantastic. It had a little more oil than expected. The sauces were good. Overall, it is worth trying but probably wont be a favorite dinner spot for us.
