Good food- I had the seared salmon salad, artfully arranged and tasty- a good antidote for some unhealthy eating the night before. Service was friendly efficient, and not at all snobby. Nice views and seats in front of the fireplace (a cool July day!) sealed the deal.

We planned to visit the historic train depot, and fortunately arrived around lunch time. The location is a bit out of the way, but the restaurant signs helped us find the depot, and the delightful aromas reminded us that we were hungry. We certainly didn't leave hungry! Food was plentiful and good, with a variety of interesting sides. If we lived in the area this would be a regular hang-out spot for us for sure.

Atmosphere for dining is nice. Menu does include some exquisite items that look tasty. The pizza is good. Crust was a little under cooked. Sauce was average. Expensive for what you get but you are in middle of no where so no other option. Hostess was a little snooty, but professional.

We stopped here for lunch after riding quads at Cle Elum Motor Toys and enjoyed our food while watching the Seahawks game. There is plenty of seating here as it was very busy with the game on. The food was quite good. I like spicy food and found the Flaming Smokestack burger to live up to its' name. It had some heat. This was a nice bar/restaurant with good pub food.

Nothing open in the area. We spotted this restaurant just before we got on I-90. We were all glad we stopped. This place has little hidden rooms and you find where you want to set. Cozy and inviting. You can shop as well for great items. The two ladies who were there were so kind and both had great smiles on their faces. Service was quick and the food was delicious. My son and I had turkey and cranberry with cream cheese. You get your choice of soup, salad or a bag of chips. Reasonably priced as well. Make sure you find this hidden jewel you won't be disappointed.

Yesterday we ate lunch at the Restaurant at Swiftwater Cellars and it could not have been better. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the view out the doors to the golf course and scenery was relaxing and engaging. There were many beautiful birches and evergreens. The best part was the food. Generous portions, perfect seasoning, a good variety of choices on the menu and we were very pleased. They can make entrees gluten free also - just ask. I had the portobello stuffed mushroom which was to be served on a bun, when I ordered I asked to not get a bun and they said everything else would be gluten free. Best portobello mushroom I have ever eaten and it was large. The clam chowder was also the best clam chowder I have ever eaten. My husband ordered the pork dish and he loved it. He agreed the chowder was the best he had ever eaten also.

Just found this place while traveling along I-90 on a Wednesday evening. Just what youâd expect from a small town cafe ... bear skin on the wall, deer antler chandeliers, and local folks staring at strangers when they come in the door. Ok, so it was obvious this is where locals eat right away. The food made it obvious why. Delicious âlocally sourcedâ meal. I had NY strip steak. It was excellent considering this is not a steak house. Apparently the baked goods are their claim to fame. We happened to come in on âfree pie nightâ ... thatâs right, every Wednesday is free pie night!! I had the best apple pie of my long life. My wife said her coconut cream was better than Cyrus OâLeary pie. Ok - so this is a fantastic review, why did I dock them one star? House flies! Buzzing around the table constantly. Not just one, but several at all times. Final word- our server was as sweet as the pie. Her name is Alexis. She was very attentive and pleasant. Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and the wonderful review. We do our best to locally source and keep everything fresh. Our crew tries very hard to be professional but very polite. So sorry about the flies, haven't had a problem until this week when it got very hot outside, I am at war with them right now, they are winning some battles but I will overcome them. Thank you so much again sincerely Joey
