Second Street Grill

Had the nachos (so I'm a sucker for nachos), they were good. Have had other dishes and sandwiches. The food is always decent and the staff are mostly helpful. A nice break from the corporate fast food outing.

Update: THIS PLACE IS SO BAD. the actual building is nice in a nice location with nice outdoor seating. but every thing else about it is garbage. I found myself there again the other day and i ordered the $9 shrimp cocktail and what i received was a CUP of CANNED shrimp covered with cocktail sauce, with a lemon twist on top. it was so bad. i never complain at restaurants so i said nothing but i did pay 9 bucks for a half can of baby shrimp with catch up on top.......   i feel dirty.

The owner of Sierra Nevada, Ken Grossman ordered a pale ale along with everyone else at our table. When the drinks arrived,  they were flat and tasted dusty. I watched Ken take a sip and then he calmly stood up from the table, gathered the owner of the grill and the bar tenders and gave them a quick lesion on how a beer is supposed to be treated. He explained the problems with the way their lines were set up to both there kegs and there gases.  The rest of the night was full of great conversation and subpar food. I have been back to Second Street once since then to see if they were still doing injustice to great beers. To my dismay the management decided not to take this well founded advice and are still serving a crummy pint.

I grew up in Yakima and its nice to see more bistro and less chain restaurants here now.  I came here with my mom on a Friday night.  We sat on the patio, the atmosphere was great, not too loud, pretty busy.

I had the Foccatia chicken sandwich which was good, juicy chicken and pesto mayo was delicious.  

Beer selection wasn't great.  "Around the world" is a pretty generous description of the selection.  I had a taste of the Yakima Craft Brewing IPA, not a fan, it was like a slightly hoppy pilsner; so I had the Ninkasi IPA.

The service was great; prompt and friendly.
