“Loved everything about this place. The drive there is beautiful. Enjoyed cruising along the curvy road following the river.Lots of parking. The service was top notch from the hostess to the servers. The food was great. We will be back. Beautiful dinning view of the river. After dining. Our party of 7 enjoyed a walk on the nicely groomed trail along the river.“

“This was our first visit since the restaurant jad closed during COVID. We were not disappointed at all. One of my favorites is the black and blue salad. How could it get any better than before? But, it was! I ordered the steak medium, and it was cooked perfectly and it was very tender, AND the steak portion was more than before. I will definitely order this again. My husband had fish and chips. The fish portions were very generous. He ordered the 3 piece but said he would have been satisfied with 2 pieces. The fries are really tasty! Our server was very friendly and on top of everything. It was our 38th Anniversary, and our server surprised us with a special treat at the end of our meal. We ate in the bar area, and we were comfortable dining there.“

“We’ve driven through Ellensburg many times and have, for the most part, not paid much attention to the town. Passing through, it seems like any other unremarkable small town in an otherwise beautiful mountain setting. Tonight we stopped for dinner at the Ellensburg Pasta Company. What a nice surprise! Excellent lobster ravioli and first rate service. We'll be back again.“

“Amazing brewery... I first had their beer back in 2009 and been a regular customer since.I keep coming back because of the amazing, craft beer style brews and the top notch customer service. All three servers: Nevada, Ashley, Claire will go above and beyond to make sure you get what you want and treat you like family/long time friend.

“My only complaint is that I didn’t visit here before. Visiting Ellensburg for a few days and decided to have a late lunch here on our last day. Place had a good number of people but we were seated right away and serve bread and water. Nice hostess and fabulous waitress. Lots of beverages to choose from, including beer on tap, bottled beer, alcohol, specialty drinks, and wine. We got a beer and the blackberry lemonade special (alcohol). Went down smooth and alcohol not overpowering. A women at a table next to us ordered the same after she saw our drink. I ordered from the October special menu. Tomato soup with cheesy bread. Definitely comfort food and worth it. Fresh Parmesan added (can never get enough cheese). Husband ordered the meat lovers spaghetti. A little spicy but he liked it (no leftovers so a good sign). Guy next to us ordered Mac and cheese bratwurst from special menu (my second choice). He seemed to enjoy it (nothing leftover). Now we are in a food coma and about to take a nap. Looking forward to baiting EPC again in the future!“

“Such a relief to find this hidden, dog-friendly oasis on a long trip on a hot day in the high desert! We had trouble finding a restaurant in Ellensburg that would allow our two furry girls. This place let both our dogs and our teen sit on the patio (minors can't go into the bar inside but can sit on the patio and use the indoor bathroom on the restaurant side). The back side of the restaurant and bar have a big, lovely deck and grassy, willow-shaded yard and even a trickle of a creek... picnic tables in the grass, too. Had a few nice beers on tap and classic diner burger/sandwich/fry/tot fare. They even had fry sauce! Service was really friendly. Will stop here again, even when the dogs aren't with us.Kid-friendliness: Minors allowed on the restaurant side and on the deck on the bar side. Dogs allowed on deck and in the yard.“

“Our son who is studying Anthropology at Central Washington University invited us up to have pizza with him. He had taken his partner the week before and was so enamored of the place he wanted us to experience it. My son and wife split a half and half pizza hot honey one side and sausage and fennel on the other. I had an amazing steak and mushroom grinder that I would absolutely order again. They have a full bar and my whiskey sour was on point. We also happened to show up on trivia night and I unashamedly destroyed everyone in the superhero category. If you are in Eberg I absolutely recommend eating here.“

“I happened to see this place while waiting at a traffic light, so I stopped in to check it out. This restaurant has a nice open interior with a high ceiling giving it a great ambiance. I ordered the fish and chips and was very satisfied. It wasn't greasy and the portion was ample. I've always stopped in Ellensburg anytime I'm driving to Moses Lake or Spokane, but only had fast food. This will be my new stop over from now on.“
