Great service. Different brunch menu than any other place in town and the food is fantastic. Get the ropa vieja poutine, especially if you enjoy a little spice. Been for dinner as well and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and ambience

My wife and I enjoyed a date night here. We thoroughly enjoyed trying several different dishes and cocktails. Service was just right, nice vibe, great background music. All around we had a great time and will be coming back!

Never anything less than a wonderful meal there and I've been going as often as I can afford to since they first opened as The Lab. Retooling their concept and renaming themselves was an inspired idea. Not because they weren't fabulous to begin with—they were fabulous. But because they needed to reach the diners in Yakima who were ready for — no, make that crying out for — expertly prepared cuisine reflecting tasting notes from around the globe, in an elevated yet approachable dining experience, right in their own neighborhood. If you have not eaten here, and you like sampling small plates with varied flavor profiles, sipping imaginative cocktails, and enjoying good conversation with your fellow diners in a comfortable yet chic atmosphere — without breaking your wallet, you really cannot afford to skip this place.

Overall was a lovely experience and the staff seems to go over the top to attempt to provide a good experience. I do think that the ambience is a stark, tables have little privacy and it's a bit noisy. We ordered the beet salad and roasted potato salad which were both excellent. I also ordered the new burger which was disappointing. At first it came out burnt but they quickly replaced it. The second was still cooked well-done and a bit dry, I was hoping to really taste the African seasonings but could not really taste them and with the aioli it seemed dry. We also ordered the fried chicken which was good, but I think pounded a bit thin so the crust to meat ration was off. I actually like the Hawaiian fried chicken he used to do better. The cocktail tasted great but was a touch small.

Seriously one of the best meals we've eve eaten! We split the house burger, amazing, the Thai Fried chicken, super awesome sauce, and the Fried Potato Salad, yummy! We decided to finish off with the Sticky Toffee Pudding, oh my goodness!!! Friendly and energetic staff, great place, will definitely be back!

Food, ambiance and service were phenomenal as usual! E&E will never, ever disappoint you, unless of course you're a McD's kind of person. The food is absolutely superb. The cocktails have really improved to great category. Also, the staff is the best!

This was out first time at Eats and Elixers. I was familiar with Fat Pastor's style of food and I was excited to give this place a shot. While we were there two couples came in and then left after seeing the menu. Don't be intimidated by the unique food choices, give it a try and you will not be disappointed! The eats were amazing and the mixologist made some delicious, unique elixirs. Can't wait to go back and try something different.

We really enjoyed our dinner here Saturday evening. Much thought and discussion went into choosing our interesting and delicious beverages and food to share. Our whole party of 4 agreed that all choices were successful, and really couldn't narrow any down to a "favorite", they were all that good. The owners/chefs were very amiable when visiting our table, offering insights into how some of our food choices were created. We came away feeling like we'd had a fun, unique experience, with every intention of doing it again!

Staff was friendly and made you feel like they wanted your visit to be special. Good service is not dead post covid. The surprise was when the chef came out to get our reaction on the meal. This was our first visit but will not be our last.

I'm not certain how long they've been open, but somehow we missed this gem in Yakima! The food was excellent. We had the cauliflower dish, the pork belly, and Thai fried chicken. Desserts are excellent also. Lots of creativity by the chef, and the flavors don't disappoint. We'll be back!
We loved our experience at Eats & Elixirs! We chose 4 plates from the tapas menu and loved every single one. The sauces and flavors were fantastic - we wanted to pick up the plates and lick them clean to savor every bite of yummy goodness. My husband and I each ordered a cocktail and we each loved our selection. Finally, we finished up with a delicious dessert that was the perfect end to a wonderful meal. We look forward to going back to try their brunch!

This was the best restaurant we went to in our 4-day trip at Yakima. The food was absolutely delicious. Don't miss the Brazilian Bravas (fried potatoes) and the Chocolate Torte w/ Bourbon Cream - both were absolute works of art.

Easy reservations, intimate atmosphere that is not overly self-indulgent, service is best in town, we've interacted with the entire staff at one point or another during our visits, and they are all incredibly kind and knowledgable. That all being said, the food is the real star of the show. Creative, inspired dishes with consistent quality are accompanied by craft cocktails that show the staff at Eats & Elixirs puts thought and pride into what they offer their patrons. We've already been twice in two weeks, this will be our go-to spot for special occasions and when we want to have a wonderful evening when our friends come into town. If you haven't been yet, make this spot a priority for your next dinner out.

Our VRBO host recommended this place. Who knew it was just blocks from my old home territory! So glad for this find. The food and drinks were incredible. Service was warm, friendly, and quick! Melinda in particular was awesome. She was so friendly and kind. Tenille was also really Terrific! We will be back!

I was expecting a bit better. I made a reservation for 3 of us for brunch at 10:30, but when we got there, they didn't have a table. The only option was to share a long table with other guests. It was OK, but not ideal. My food came out barely warm. I didn't say anything, but it was also really dry. For a Benedict type entree, you would expect some sauce to moisten the Focaccia biscuit, but there was none, just a minimal amount of aioli. The eggs had clearly been pre-poached & were no longer runny enough to moisten the dish either. I know they just won for best brunch in Yakima & were likely way more busy that weekend because of the award. It's why I chose to go there too, but it didn't measure up in my opinion, to an award-worthy experience.
