Best food in Yakima. The experience and ambiance is also the best in Yakima. I believe if this restaurant was on the west side of the mountains it would be booked out for months. Everyone should take the opportunity to try this restaurant. We had the downstairs room it was really private. read more

Food was to die for. Each dish unique and amazing. Service was top notch. Couldn't have an empty cup even at surge times.

Lived up to the hype! Totally amazing and wonderful food and drinks! And our servers were amazing too! read more

This is a truly special spot in Yakima. I walked in early for dinner, and was able to be seated at the bar immediately. That was lucky! They seemed incredibly busy with no open seats all night. The bartender was very nice and made some great drinks, and dinner was so delicious. I waited the required 15 minutes for the apple crisp to be made fresh, best decision I've ever made. read more

Honestly the best place to go out for dinner! Always has something new on the menu! Their drinks are always awesome & the environment is so welcoming and fun! read more

It was literally one of the best meals I have ever had. Jennifer was an amazing server. The food was out of this world!

We have just loved every dining experience at Crafted. Food quality has always been excellent. So many fun and different flavor combinations to try. Service has been top notch, very attentive and warm, with helpful suggestions. Tonight we enjoyed the poke', beets, crab pasta, scallops, and the ribeye. All were well seasoned and had great flavor- the scallops in particular were to die for. We sat at the Chef's counter and had a great view of seeing all the preparations coming together. Cook staff were a well-oiled machine, very cohesive. We are thrilled Crafted is here in Yakima, what a treat! With such a creative, rotating menu, locally sourced produce, and amazing flavors, you will not be disappointed. Don't forget to order Smores for dessert, it's incredible. Thanks for a great dining experience read more

Heard about this place from all the buzz. This place just received another James Beard nom and from what I can tell, rightfully so. Food was interesting and executed perfectly. Atmosphere was amazing. Placed was jammed packed and everyone, including staff, seemed like they were having a good time and smiles all around. Chatted up some locals, staff, and even the chef/owner. The chef, the one that got the nomination, seemed humble and couldn't speak more highly of their team, which in my opinion, weighs more than any yelp review I could leave. Gave me a couple of local recommendations of places to check out next time I'm in town! All and all, this place shouldn't be missed while traveling. The locals here have quite the gem, hopefully they are taking advantage of it. read more

The food tasted good. The portions were larger than I expected. You should try it. The meat was fall off the bone tender. read more

Every so often someone comes into your life and changes what you think you knew - a new friend at school, a new puppy, perhaps a new clothing item that just makes every day a little better. Your newest personal revelation will come from trying Crafted - the best place we've eaten within a few hundred miles - and one of the top 5 places we've had the pleasure of dining with. A warning- this is one of the longer reviews I've done. The evening was that memorable! We were fortunate to get a peek and taste at a soft opening event. Six of us sat at the chefs counter and got to interact with the guys doing the cooking, bartending and serving. Hearing about where the chefs had come from and how the place had grown out of a catering business really added to the allure of the place. By the end of the evening, it was one of the best culinary experiences we've ever. The ambiance here is as good we we've experienced anywhere. A laid back, left coast vibe runs throughout and the decor is a beautiful melding of contemporary rustic and urban. When combined with the incredible meal, we kept forgetting we weren't in Seattle! The owners are going for "Big city feel, in small town Yakima". They're open Thursday through Monday with two days off per week as "farm days". They get the bulk of the food from local farms and plan to change their menu frequently based on what's available. Now to food! We literally tried everything on the menu except two things. Words that kept coming out were things like, "Beautiful", "Incredible" and "Wow"! Everything we tried was amazing - it was fresh, thoughtful, delicious...basically every adjective we could think of. Big highlights of the evening include the Beet Carpaccio- it may have been the prettiest appetizer we've ever had. The earthy flavor of the beets with a lemon raspberry aioli and fresh berries plays all over your mouth and was nothing short of lovely! The fries smelt was the same way- deconstructed with peppers and a nice sauce, it was lick the plate good. The English pea soup is an absolute must- in part because it's delicious, in part because it was picturesque and in part because it was unique. A detail that should not be missed is the salted chive blossom that come on top. Blossoms are preserved and placed gently on top of the soup - if they served these by the bowl, we'd order them! The chanterelle and grey dove mushroom dish was another treat. The mushrooms were lightly sautéed with a little crunch and served with a light oil and a duck egg. When stirred, it created one of the most delicious and memorable plates we've had in a long time. It was creamy, earthy, savory, crunchy, just marvelous! For dinner, every large plate was awesome. The pork belly was incredible- prepared perfectly and served with some greens that complimented it in ways we'd never thought of! Did you know basil heightens the flavor of pork belly? We do now! The short ribs were a delicious as they were pretty (they were very pretty!) and the octopus was far and away the best we've ever tasted - something we expected to be reserved for the coast. The crab caramelle was another wonder dish with house made noodles delicately hugging the delicious crab in a way only a house made noodle can do! The duck breast was also fabulous and was served with polenta and small bunch of champagne grapes. Presentation, check! Flavor, check! Creativity, check! The most memorable entree of the night was the duck pappardelle - duck, noodles, tomatoes, squash and egg yolk all mixed together in what was probably the most emotion invoking dish I've ever had. It was the least impressive looking dish we had but biting into it was nothing short of of incredible. The brilliant dance of savory, creamy, and noodles, all accented by the duck was as nostalgic as it was delicious. Everyone was reminded of something their mom or grandma had made and as one of our friends described it, "I took a bite and it was like getting a hug!" For dessert, the pavlova was awesome. Crunchy sweet and covered in local berries. The gooseberry sorbet was delicious and had a lovely accent of pineapple weed - a small weed that literally tastes like pineapple! The fried chicken and waffles was a fun take on the classic - maple ice cream with fried chicken sprinkles! The winner for the desserts though was the brownie soufflé- a delicious brownie with ice cream, topped with copper pot caramel- a local favorite! By the end of the evening, we were trying to figure out a time when we wouldn't want to come back. The servers were great, the cooks engaging and the whole experience truly amazing. Throughout the meal, we kept being reminded of different aspects of our favorite places from all over the world. If it wasn't already clear, this is our new favorite spot and one we hope and think will continue to transform the food scene throughout the valley. If I could give 10 stars I would, but since I can't, simply know this - if you eat here, you will love it! read more

Fabulous! That is all I can say You will not be disappointed, patio is great, everything was...fabulous!

This was the best meal I have had since moving to the Yakima area in August 2020. We made reservations late in the afternoon on a Saturday and were able to get a table for 8:30 PM that evening. We were seated right away, and service was impeccable the moment we walked in until we left at about a half hour past their 10 PM closing time. We ordered the Chef's menu, which is was 7 chef's choice courses. I inquired about the quantity of food that would be involved, as I did not want to waste a bit of the pricey food items, but I also did not want to go away hungry. The server assured us that the portion sizes were not huge, but we would not go away hungry either. And he was right. I loved every thing that was brought to us, from the oysters at the beginning to the decadent chocolate dessert at the end and all the appetizers, side dishes, and proteins that were served in between. It was a little noisy, so we had to speak up when talking to each other at our table, but it wasn't eardrum shattering and we could carry on a decent conversation. Reservations are strongly recommended, and the prices are such that most of us could not do this more than once or twice a year unless somebody else was paying. But it was worth every penny and made the evening perfect for reconnecting with an old friend. read more

We got into town later than expected and picked Crafted purely out of convenience--in walking distance from our accommodations and open later than any other option. BOY AM I GLAD WE LUCKED INTO THIS PLACE!!! At first I had no idea what I was in for. After hours of travel I wanted a Bloody Mary--and upon asking for one, I was delicately and gently informed that it was not an option. So I started with neat vodka--that was fine--and then the culinary adventure began! Not knowing how special this place is--we tried to make sense of the menu--it didn't seem to be arranged in the typical appetizer/entree format. We were coached through the concept, order a couple to a few items and share them--perfect! I honestly can't remember the name of the first thing we had, but I had to google a culinary term for it and it was basically firm fleshed fish, served raw with a sauce--amazingly good! (I'm usually a fan of sashimi, and this was excellently executed--a preview of what we were in for.) The Brussel sprouts--which I'm also generally a fan of and cook myself quite often--were divine, with the perfect amount of bacon! The duck was quite good, perhaps the best duck I can remember having in the last ten years. It...was...epic. The steak was great, but wow the pear cake desert with perfectly offset espresso made it complete. My God this place was amazing. This is a must-visit for Yakima! I'm so happy that we landed here! read more

4.5 stars: I came here for my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend and I have enjoyed my experience here! I forgot my server's name but she was very friendly helpful and attentive. Oysters were not bad at all. Can't expect freshness in a landlocked area but quality was certainly the best I've seen out of Yakima. The Cavatelli with wild king salmon had perfectly cooked pasta but the salmon seemed a tad raw to me. Steak frites and the cheesecake bombe I highly recommend! Those were delicious! be sure to tell your server how you want your steak because it will come out rare if you don't specify. I'm glad to see a restaurant like crafted to be in Yakima! Definitely will come back some other time! read more

Great friendly and helpful service and delicious and creative food. I recommend for a special meal!

This is my 2nd visit to Crafted and I am very happy with their eclectic menu. It changes frequently, which I also appreciate, and challenges you to step outside your comfort zone. Today I had the Roasted Carrots and Tagliatelle Pasta. The carrots were amazing, the pasta was light and refreshing but could have used a little more spice. Even so I would order it again in a heart beat. This restaurant is a must try whenever your in the Yakima area! read more

Amazing menu and presentation. I sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the chef. Good by the glass wine list.

This spot is our go-to every time we are in Yakima! Order the chefs menu, you won't be disappointed. There's always so much food and it never disappoints. The cocktails are delicious and the servers are always attentive and kind. My favorites were the oysters in the half shell, roasted carrots, and the s'mores dessert. We will continue to come back here again and again and again! read more

Over priced. The bartend was very rude and arrogant. When I spend 80 dollars on a meal I want my own plates not to share unless I want too. They server/bartender was taken back when i didn't want to share my plate with a co worker. Way too expensive for the food and loud atmosphere. Too Trendy for me read more

first off its alittle pricey but very good it took a minute to get my drinks and food but the scallops and lavender drink was delicious! Crafted would be a great place for lunch date. read more

Our second visit to this restaurant recently left much to be desired. The ambience continues to be cozy and cute, but the food was not impressive at all. We ordered pretty much everything vegetarian on their menu, and nothing was flavorful. The food was extremely boring, bland and underwhelming. So were the cocktails. Bummer, because we were super excited to eat here after our experience last time. Their menu changes seasonally, so we could say this season they just chose the wrong menu items, at least for vegetarians. For appetizers we had some beetroot and yogurt dish, beetroot was just boiled / steamed with no marination or pickling. I can get that at Costco. The roasted carrots again had no interesting spin at all, there was no seasoning. The most disappointing dish was the ravioli with potato stuffing and an onion sauce. I am sure this restaurant has great potential, but it would be nice to put some more thought into the vegetarian options. read more

Crafted - Ravioli with potato filling and onion sauce, super meh - Desserts Near Me - Yakima, Washington

My son took me here for Mother's Day dinner and the meal was wonderful. The restaurant serves everything family style. We had asparagus with spring onions, a pasta dish with mushrooms and duck egg confit, and pan fried sturgeon. The asparagus was charred served on chive pesto. I can't believe how good it tasted. Each course was so full of many flavors that simultaneously stood out and blended into something special. I don't know the cost because I wasn't buying but it was worth it, whatever it was. My only regret was I didn't have any room for the beautiful desserts I saw other tables getting. Next time I'm in Yakima, I'll go there again. read more

What a treat! Everything about this restaurant is amazing. Hands down, the best meal I've had in a long time. The food is fresh. The recipes are masterfully crafted. The food was cooked to perfection. Absolute perfection! read more

This was truly a WONDERFUL experience. The food is amazing and definitely not what I was expecting. Be warned the servings are generous so would recommend ordering a couple of dishes and then ordering additional plates according to your appetite. Standouts we're the "toast" and the blossoms. Our only disappointment is that they are closed on Tuesdays so we cannot return tomorrow. read more

Had a great experience at Crafted. Service was great and the food came out super quick and was tasty. Started off with the Beets on Beets on Beets (Beets 4 ways). The dish was beautiful like a work of art. Flavor-wise, this was probably the least interesting of the dishes we had. The bone-marrow with mushrooms was up next and the umami of the marrow coated the mushrooms for a flavor-packed punch. The only improvement I would suggest to Crafted is to toast the bread. For the mains, we got the halibut & korean rice cakes and the scallops with risotto. The halibut & korean rice cakes was so interesting. Usually you think of halibut as a very delicate fish but it stood up to the powerful flavors of the gochujang. The scallops were also perfectly cooked. We finished the night with the ice cream cake filled with reeses, kit kats, etc and it was super fun. Would definitely recommend stopping in if you're in Yakima. read more

This review is based on food and ambience. We've thoroughly enjoyed the menu and complex flavor profiles of each unique dish. The space is modern, clean, and upscale feeling. The servers are attentive and have incredible support staff. They all work together to ensure your experience is tailored to your liking. read more

I finally had the chance to eat here and I was in no way disappointed the pork was extremely juicy and flavorful and the mushroom and squash was killer. The meal is family style which means you share the plates versus ordering your own separate meal. I love this style because it's like eating dinner at home. We also got the campfire s'mores that came encased with smoke and it smelled exactly like a campfire which is seriously one of my favorite things in the entire world. I won't go into great detail about how the staff went above and beyond to make my experience even better than I could ever imagine. But that's only because it's a little embarrassing as I just wish I had better company. I can't wait to come back! read more

This place is amazing . Been there a few times, but recently came in a very large group and sat outside and our waiter, Zane, knocked it out of the ballpark. It was seamlessly and effortlessly handled by him and it was some of the best food and drinks all of us have ever had. He topped it off with offering to take our picture. Does not get better than this, food, service and vibe! read more

We really really liked it. The Moscow mule was 10 out of 10. We got the Brussels sprouts, bread, scallops, and flank steak. Brussels were awesome and flavorful. The scallops were Nate's favorite. The flank steak was Korean inspired and honestly the beef was the best I've had in a while. I love the fact that the chefs choose to source locally as much as possible. Everything tasted fresh! Service was excellent. The restaurant has a relaxed vibe. . Loved it! read more

Oh my gosh, where to begin! I have had dinner at Crafted twice now and each time is a unique and lovely experience. The menu changes and while I love every dish I have had I look forward to the new items as everything is so unique and flavorful. The team is so creative in putting together ingredients and flavors I would never make on my own. I would recommend the chefs menu if you are open to it or choose a handful of dishes to share with your table on your own. My current favs are the crispy rice (the second rendition of crispy rice I have had on their menu), tuna crudo, the burrata with bacon jam (yum), heirloom tomatoes.. to name a few :) read more

One of the nicest dining experiences I have ever had! My parents recently relocated to Yakima and took us out here during a recent visit. It was outstanding! From the ambiance of the place...gorgeous but not stuffy... to the amazing service...the wonderful cocktails and wine list... and the incredible food! This was a memorable dinner! Plates are meant to be shared, and we ordered quite a few! My favorite was the ahi tuna. I don't think I have ever had better quality tuna. the smores dessert was also to die for, and the presentation was awesome. Crafted, you have won me over! You hold a piece of my heart. 8 can't wait until the next time I visit to come back! read more

Worth. Every. Penny. Crafted is the sort of creative eatery that allows you to show up however you are- dressed to the nines or tshirt and baseball cap- and experience something extraordinary. Their food is exciting but their menu and staff aren't at all pretentious. This is the second time I've been to Crafted. Wanted to show my parents there's options besides Powerhouse Grill :-D I am mostly vegan (social vegetarian) and when I mentioned this to the waiter, he had the chef curate a vegan menu for me. I left the "main dish" up to the chef and was brought a beet gnocchi with dried seaweed and sesame. It had a strange name (sorry, I can't remember it right now) that was surprising and stunning. My mom said the gnocchi reminded her of gummy bears. She doesn't like beets, but it wasn't heavily "beet" flavored. Fantastic chewy texture, I have never had anything like it. I also had the broccolini. Others at the table had the rib eye, the duck, and the roast potatoes (the last of which I can say are phenomenal). We tried just about every cocktail on the menu between the four of us and they were all winners in their own right. Mom asked if they could make a chocolate martini, which they stated they could not, but I'd rather they tell us that than "try it" and have us pay for a poor attempt. It feels like they know they're providing you with an experience, not a meal, and if they can't do it right, they're not going to do it at all. We also had dessert- which I NEVER spring for, but I couldn't pass it up. We tried the red velvet - I don't like cake, but it was amazing, particularly with the hazelnuts and chocolate straws- and the Loliki (sp?) Charlotte, a coconut-lemon dream that took me back to Hawaii. Lastly, my mom got a decaf coffee and they brought it out so. cutely. A beautiful experience from beginning to end, with attentive and comfortable staff and a chef whose taste is on point. read more

Traveling with my husband on his business trip and I got to choose dinner, I chose wisely! This place was packed, had great atmosphere, amazing service (Seriously- our waitress (Jen) was so awesome I tried to get her to come work with me across the state). We had three different dishes and dessert, and each was delicious in its own way. You can tell the chef takes pride in his creation. Highly recommend! read more

My friend and I felt like trying out a new restaurant in downtown Yakima so we went to Crafted and we were definitely impressed at arriving! We had brioche bread as a appetizer and it was so buttery and soft but crunchy on the outside. For entrees I had a type of pasta which was a fancier take on spaghetti! It had lamb, hazelnuts (or macadamias, not too sure) and it was so delicious. It was very nutty which was an interest taste on a spaghetti dish but delicious nonetheless I noticed they had an espresso machine next to the bar so I asked if I could get some coffee. I'm a self proclaimed coffee snob so I had high expectations for my coffee. I knew they used Basalt roasters, a local coffee roaster here in Yakima so I was really excited because I love Basalt! HOWEVER, as I watched them make my drink I saw that they were using pre-grounded coffee beans to make my pour over. They already have a really nice grinder so why use pre grounded coffee? That makes brewed coffee taste bland and stale. The coffee was ok. It has the capability to be better. The coffee didn't taste fresh. It wasn't aromatic like I except good coffee to be. But that's ok. I'm not going to drop a star just for a cup of coffee. I really loved this place! read more

Everything about our experience at Crafted was wonderful. Just watching all the dishes leave the kitchen was great. We wanted to try literally everything.
