We thought about coming back for dinner the following day but after reading some of the reviews, decided to go elsewhere.

After hearing about an indoor golf spot in town, a few buddies, and I decided we needed to venture…read moreon down here and check it out. We quickly decided that this is a place we will be coming back to! It's literally an indoor golf campus with five or six simulation Stations where you get to choose between what seemed like hundreds of different courses and play them with as many or as few people as you'd like, for a predetermined amount of time. They've also got a putting green, and you can bring your own clubs or rent some there. We grabbed one of the stalls for two hours, and five of us had a great time! The set up is pretty quick and you can make it so you can save your information and follow yourself overtime. It's pretty cool to be able to develop a handicap on the simulator! I've got a full bar and basically Gastropub type food. The bacon cheeseburger that I had was quite good, as were the shared nachos, wings and cheese curds. Prices are not outrageous and the beer and liquor selection was actually pretty solid. The place is super relaxed and the service was quick and friendly. This is a spot that I will be back to with friends, and probably a spot I will take my boys to practice. The place chill enough that it's the sort of place you can take kids, your significant other, or meet up with a bunch of buddies. It was nice to not be rowdy, but also to not have to be quiet like on an actual golf course.

Let me just start by saying that I always give establishments 3 tries, no matter what the first two…read moreexperiences were. With that said, I really wanted to like this place, but after about giving it 5 tries, I gave up and decided that it's just not the right place for us. 1st: It's not much of a lounge, and more of a club (the music is loud and you can't hold a conversation). I really like the decor; is simplistic and artsy. There is a cover charge and it doesn't make any sense to me. Seattle lounges don't charge a cover. Nightclubs do. Security is selective on what the dress code is, and has no sense of what current style trends are. Also, if you are a woman, dress like you are about to charge for a lap dance, and you are sure to get in and maybe at no cost! It's a Jersey Shore attire kind of place, so please get your GTL on before you hit this place. 2nd: If you want a well crafted cocktail, don't go here. Several times I have requested cocktails and the cocktail waitress has come back asking "the bartender wants to know how that is made?", or "what is in that?". Not the waitresses fault. I can say that they have all been amazing. One time I asked for a Boston Sour and after sending it back twice she handed me a glass of Makers Mark with a splash of lime juice; I lied and told her it was perfect and didn't drink it. Also, I asked if the bar made their own sour mix, she went to the bartender and came back and said "yes", and that is not the case. Lastly, if you go up to the bar to order drinks, if you've got breasts that are in clear view and make-up that is pounded on your face like you are about to frost a wedding cake, you'll get quicker service. Sad, but true. Like I said, I really wanted to like this place, but it is so petite bourgeoisie. For a great cocktail and nice appetizers, I suggest Carousel or Five North. But, If you want to dance in a small oddly placed dance floor amongst people that are trying too hard, and party style drinks and shots, this is the place for you.

Good music and OK drink prices, this club was a good pick. This club has a lounge-like atmosphere…read more People here have nice seats, tables with candles, and a great looking bar. This place was packed when my entourage arrived around 12. Sign of a great club! The only thing I felt needed improvement was the dancefloor. It looks like a 2-wall room with a pillar on one corner. Kinda weird. Other than that, this club (or lounge) is one of my favorite places for drinks and dancing!

Food was passable, but service was absolutely the worst…read more Waiter (Marcus F) was probably the worst I have had in a while. I ordered two apps and an iced tea. He asked if I wanted bread with my meal. I said "Sure". Well bread is $5. Not a big deal, but would be nice to mention or at least bring a nice warm bread? Neither happened! Bread was hard and cold. Menus still on the table. App one arrived, then app two arrived. Still no iced tea. Then he came around the corner after being absent for 10-15 min; app one was already finished. Then I caught him doing a 180 and then come back with my tea. At this point about 30 min since I sat down, he asked if I was ready to order. Really? I was done, asked for a refill on the tea and a check. He took the glass and came back with same glass refilled. Now maybe I am being picky here, but if you take the glass, then just bring a fresh one. Dont just top of the melted ice with tea. Old lemon wedged between the ice and new one on top. Overall: Place is busy. Food is ok, but they could do better!

Unlike many restaurants, Second Street Grill steps up to the plate and delivers on its promises. From the moment we were seated, our server Natalie became our most trusted advisor. She answered questions and was super helpful. She was buoyant and just amazing. The wait time was not forever, and the food was hot and tasty. No need to ask for refills, because Natalie kept on top of her duties like a boss. Now. I ordered fish and chips. The expectation was those little diamond shaped fish pucks with some shoestring fries. Nope. It came straight through a wormhole from an Irish pub. I would swear to it.

We entered and there was live music! We sat at the bar and a young man greeted us and started pouring. We talked about the wines and how the bar was started. We enjoyed the wines - some were actually very nice and a couple had a good 10+ years of aging! My better half had a full glass after, I had a local IPA. We liked it so much, we bought a couple bottles and we joined their wine club! It was such a pleasant place - I wish we had a place like that here in our town. Highly recommended!

I loved the folk-style sort of aesthetic with the decorations scattered everywhere in this place. glad that there were tables, but all with stools only. wine was okay and something you would see on the cheaper section of stores like BevMo, Walmart, etc. not much to do around this plaza square in Yakima, too...

But the room we were in was, sadly, not one of the upgraded rooms other reviews have mentioned. It was dated, a little ragged, and about 33 degrees in there! Even after blasting the heater for an hour it was just starting to warm up. Luckily we were able to order an extra blanket from housekeeping (except, oops, they brought us a mattress pad instead of a blanket - oh well, at least it was another layer). Since we had a reservation it's surprising to me they didn't even try to bring the room to a temperature that was at least slightly above that of a meat locker. There was also peeling wallpaper and (ugh) I noticed an ant in the bathroom. The free hot breakfast was pretty good, though, although they were out of a lot of things - usually hotels re-stock their breakfast bars throughout the morning but apparently that's not the case here. There's a rumor this is going to be a franchise once it's remodeled, so hopefully things will improve. Meanwhile, I probably wouldn't stay here again.

No pool or hot tub ready when it's one of the biggest weekends in Yakima. And it's what kids love to do. Seriously????? When I asked why they said oh it's been cold, it should be up in a month. It's May 4 and 81 degrees. Please do not stay here when there are much nicer, cleaner places to stay. I'm hoping we lose the tourney so I can leave earlier. Just to get my stuff out of here.

Kind of a bait in terms of activities which is what I expected coming to a sports center. There are a few televisions broadcasting games which I enjoyed, but the screens are a bit small and placed a bit far. On the bright side, drinks are fine.

With lowered expectations, our meal was actually better than we anticipated. I asked to start with a bowl of wonton soup for me and my husband. Our dunce-like waitress should have told us that one large (at $7.50) is enough for almost four portions, vs. two smalls (at $4.95 each.) The soup was quite good -- plump, well-filled dumplings, tasty broth, slivers of pork. Great! Veggie egg rolls -- 5 to an order -- are small, almost tasteless fried spring rolls. The house special chow mein could use more vegetables, but there was a generous supply of chicken, barbecued pork (which looked good but lacked flavor) and shrimp. A comment about the staff: the fellow who mans the register is pleasant and helpful. The woman who runs the place (owner? manager?) could use a course in courtesy and diplomacy. And I already mentioned our insipid waitress. One last thing: hot tea tastes like Lipton. Don't bother.
