Fodor's Expert Review WaterFire Restaurant & Bar

This cavernous, contemporary restaurant on Yakima's less developed west side is a pleasing spot for a meal before or after golfing, hiking, or wine-tasting, especially around dusk when you're treated to dazzling sunset views of the surrounding hills. The menu tends toward elevated comfort fare with international twists—think flash-fried crispy cauliflower with a spicy Szechuan sauce, and seared ahi with wasabi-mashed potatoes and ponzu.
