This place is spectacular!! It's all decorated and festive for a romantic dining experience. But it did take a very long time to get our food. Be aware of that though, the wait is so worth it!! If you & your party are 21 & over, I would highly recommend sitting in their bar area. Excellent service, large circular booths & no kids!! ? Their side salad was fresh, best bread service ever & the best marinara sauce we have ever tasted!! Too full for dessert unfortunately ?The only downside of this restaurant is that they don't have any domestic beer on tap and they do not have raspberry vodka. We would have loved a raspberry lime Cosmo and a Bud Light on tap. Plus they need to shake their cocktails a little longer...ice cold cosmos are always appreciated!! ??Best service we have had in a restaurant in a very long time!! Joshua was born for customer service!! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!!Vegetarian options: Capillini Marinara

My pasta with the shrimp scampi had no flavor, no seasoning. The same with my wife’s pasta. If it wasn’t for me trying to be nice, I would have sent it back. Something I have never done. Better pasta at Olive Garden. And everybody has a opinion on that..

I have been to this restaurant many times over the years and I have never had an experience there (or anywhere really!) as I did last night, celebrating a friend's 40th birthday with a group of 10. Although we all agree the food and atmosphere are great, we will not be back due to the terrible way we were treated. First off, I had called and made reservations for our party four days prior. The day we were to arrive, I called to confirm the reservation and was told they did not have us down. I was made to feel they were very inconvenienced by this and that somehow this was my fault. They said they could squeeze us in but we really would need to be gone within in an hour and a half. I was a little surprised at the guilt trip but my group already had this planned and didn't want to fuss with changing locations for a big party last minute.We arrived and had a pretty normal dining experience, the waitress was fine but the restaurant was busy and I would say service was on the slower end but not surprised with how busy it was there, and besides my group didn't mind, we were all just chatting and having a good time. I mention this to say we weren't feeling super rushed by too quick of service or anything. The bills came and as we were paying them, a waiter came up to us and said they needed the table and asked if we could be gone in 15 minutes. We thought it was kind of rude but truly we were leaving anyway so just kind of said OK, yes we were going. But the really appalling thing was within 2 minutes (and I'm not exaggerating!) the OWNER came up to us and said "Hey we really need you to leave, we need this table." My friend said "Yeah, we know, your waiter just came and told us" to which he responds "Well why are you still here then?" We were so caught off guard by this totally rude and inappropriate comment!! Half of us were still signing our bill!! I said to him "Well we're just trying to pay you here, then we'll be on our way." And he says "Oh I don't care about money" and walked off. Really weird comment to make and as one of my friends pointed out, so he wouldn't mind if our meals were just on the house then? Lol! But truly, what a horrible way to treat your guests. The even stranger part was within minutes after we left, they put a standing sign up at the front door that read "We are closed". We were just standing out in front of the restaurant at this point, saying our goodbyes to each other. We saw on their door the restaurant closes at 7:45pm. Odd closing time, and especially for a Saturday. Not to mention, the restaurant was still full at that time. We just found it odd they needed that table so bad and then immediately put a closed sign out front. Needless to say, we are all appalled at that experience and won't be back. It's too bad, as they really do have good food, but respect and professional treatment speaks a lot louder and there are plenty of other restaurants in this valley that provide excellent service along with good food!

Not the coolest place we have ever been, but pretty darn good for Yakima.
At Christmas time the atmosphere is stunning. All year round, though it’s a very nice cozy atmosphere as well.

Had my dads 80th birthday here and they had a separate room for us away from the rest of the crowd. Needed more than one waiter because of the big group we had but for the most part it was ok, the food was ok for the price but could of been better, everyone’s dish was a hit and miss meaning some where better than the other we all got to try one another’s so next time we will k ow what not to order.
