8th Street Bistro - Yakima

We were stoked to find this Crab Boil patio dining on Fridays. They sourced from Deep Sea Deli 3 types of fresh crab, shrimp, mussels, clams and sausage for a great seafood feast. It is a little expensive, but worth it, my wife and I shared a dish and left full. Go try it, support fresh seafood on the east side.

The food was well prepared. Temperature was good. Service could be improved. The young lady was trying really hard to do her job right, but clearly they need to train her better.

We had a great experience for dinner at the 8th Street Grill located at the Holiday Inn downtown Yakima. I had the rib eye steak special with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables and complimentary clam chowder. My wife had the salmon. We found the food cooked perfectly and in excellent portions, matching any of the more popular restaurants in the area at 60% of the price. An actual bargain comparatively. The service was impeccable, caring, and enthusiastic. I actually liked the fact that each booth had its own TV that you could customize to your viewing and volume pleasure. It did not take away from a reasonable business casual ambience. If I had a critique, it would be that the vinyl upholstery booth was showing wear and cracking. Re-covering it with a restaurant grade fabric would fix that in a jiffy. This was a pleasant surprise considering the reviews. We took a risk and really enjoyed the fare.

This place is on the ground floor of the Holiday Inn. My wife and I generally recieve Great food here. They may actually be Yakima's best kept secret. BTW, the Prime Rib is definitely a 5 star !

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The rib eye was absolutely delicious. But what really stood out was the excellent service from our waitress. She was quick and attentive, making our meal truly enjoyable.
