    The Kitchen at Abeja was an amazing experience. The grounds are beautiful. The dining area was beautiful. The staff were amazing. The food and wine pairings were perfect. Really, a perfect evening.

    Loved the tree lined entrance and small barn where dinner is served, so cozy. The Abeja team did an amazing job. The food was so delicious, beautiful presentation and perfect portions and the wine pairings were out of this world. Nice cozy, setting beautiful dinner space absolutely will be back.

    Elegant caviar starter.

    Seldom does a restaurant earn 5 Stars and an A + review. The Kitchen at Abeja served one of the finest meals my wife and I have ever experienced. Further, we stayed the night and the breakfast was both delicious and creative! I cannot give these folks a better rating. We will travel from Boise to stay again!!!

    Personal chef loving the food.

    This is fine dining, best meal we have ever had. It was multiple courses and each was as delicious as the last. The environment was great and so was the service. Perfect way to spend our third anniversary and will be back soon!

    This restaurant just opened in July of 2021, and it's a bit hard to find until they add signage. It's not in the Inn at Abeja, but next to the winery. So when you go up the driveway and park you need to walk to the back and right. For a restaurant so newly opened, they are doing a lot of things right, and I'm pretty sure this is the most upscale dining experience in Walla Walla. The dining room is under the experienced direction of Tom Uberuaga. Winemakers Dan Wampfler and Amy Alvarez-Wampfler also visited our table. The tasting menu was created by Elodie Li, a young chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Seattle, and with Michelin experience in France. She also made a point of visiting diners' tables. Highlights of the tasting menu included a wonderfully complex Amuse Bouche of cherry tomatoes, and a stunning dessert with flavors of blood orange and Earl Grey. Chef Li notes she isn't a pastry chef, but she certainly could be! We also enjoyed the Tenderloin course, especially the oyster mushrooms in Cabernet jus. As one would expect of a brand new restaurant, there were a few missteps, but nothing major. The dining room was much too bright, but Tom indicated dimmers were already being installed. It is also a bit noisy, but that may be addressed with some softer floor treatments. Service needs a little polish, and some dishes would have been better served on warm plates, but overall everything was quite good. A wine pairing of Abeja wines is available and fairly priced, although a broader range of wines might find better matches with the food. Over all I would say this is a must -stop restaurant for all foodies visiting Walla Walla.

    My husband and I came here for the 5-course tasting menu. While the property was beautiful, the restaurant disappointed. The Dungeness crab and the heirloom tomato appetizers were not memorable. Served cold, it did not help with the freezing temps of the restaurant. I was wearing shorts and my husband had to grab me a blanket from the car since I was so cold. The meal started to improve with the sea bass, although the portion of fish was the size of the fork prongs. The Denver steak really redeemed the menu; it was so tender and had lots of different flavor profiles. I loved the accompanying vegetables too. We also thoroughly enjoyed the unique white chocolate tart. Not sure we'd come back for the restaurant but may try to book a stay at Abeja.

We were seated quickly and it wasn't too busy so we were able to get a booth seat. The inside was nice and the booth was comfy. I decided to try a few items from the happy hour menu. Got an IPA for $8. Started with the k-pop wings. They were delicious and juicy and had a great flavor, and I enjoyed the sauces it came with. Also got the lamb burger. Honestly pretty disappointed. It was pretty dry, with barely any sauces and the bread made it more dry so it was hard to eat. The lamb was pretty good but wasn't the best. I also wish it came with fries or something else as a side. Finally got the Bibimbap with tofu. It was beautifully plated and had a lot of toppings but the rice was inedible. It seems to be at least a day old, not fresh, and it was not warm at all. The rice made it hard for me to enjoy as that was majority of the dish. The tofu was pretty good but overall I wouldn't return here unless for the k-pop wings. After dropping off the bill our waitress didn't come back at all so we had to wait a long time to get checked out, even another waiter had to come in and check us out because he realized she didn't come back. Kinda disappointed :/

The ambience is modern and clean, but the restaurant is in a large space, and the tables are nice and spread out, so you don't feel like you are on top of one another. All the staff was super friendly, and one neat thing about this place is it has an open kitchen, so you can watch them cook and prep. Even with the open kitchen, the restaurant is not super loud over overwhelming. The food was amazing! It had unique dishes and and staple dishes so there is something for everyone. The appetizers were my favorite. We tried both the ahi nachos and the savory panna cotta with some pita. Both are must tries, but if you have to choose only one, get the panna cotta. The sweetness of the berries and honey with the saltiness of the cheese and pistachios is perfection. For my main I had the New York steak which was cooked great. I was in the mood for steak, and while my steak was delicious I definitely want to go back and try more of the entrees. Then for dessert, we had their take on a sticky toffee pudding and it was the perfect way to end meal. Salted Mill is a must try in Walla Walla.

The first thing is coming in you get that rustic lodge feeling from the woodwork and decor as you get hit with that smokehouse aroma. No better way to get you hungry and set the mood for BBQ. Just yum! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. She was attentive and checked in but never intrusive, hovering and did not ignore us once served. Tried a flight with Huckleberry, Berry, Cinnamon, Espresso and Walla Walla Sweet Onion (they "tree in" the espresso). Could take or leave the berries espresso and cinnamon were fantastic while the onion was interesting. Had a Bloody Mary with the onion and it was good. One table mate had the loaded potato with Mac and cheese and pulled pork. The noodles were bigger than skinny boxed and very tender. The cheese was creamy and flavorful and the pulled pork was tender and juicy and jam packed with flavor but could have been a bit more smoky. For the food: I got a small BBQ platter which came with 3-meat choices , a dinner roll and a single side choice. I chose baked beans for my side. Tri-tip, ribs and brisket for my meats. I tasted the beans nothing special but tasty. Same for the roll. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, juicy and meaty! I got three 3"-4" ribs. I also had a small pile of super thin sliced tender juicy and flavorful tri-tip and three 1/4-1/2" thick slices of brisket. The brisket was moist and had a good smoke flavor as well. I ate all the ribs, half the tri-tip and a slice of brisket. The rest went home with me as this was a hearty serving. To end our evening we were sent on our way with well wishes and thanks for patronage from our server and the bartender!

    We finally made it into Cedar Rain Spirits in downtown Walla Walla, and I have to say -- this place…read moreis something special. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how much pride and passion goes into everything they do. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a family pouring their heart into their craft. The backstory alone is inspiring -- from perfecting a coffee liqueur recipe years ago to building a full distillery and now a restaurant that's quickly becoming a local favorite. On our visit, we tried a little bit of everything: the legendary Texas Twinkies, hearty Loaded Baked Potatoes, the signature Cedar Rain Sandwich, and the savory Brisket Dip. Every bite tasted like it came from years of practice, care, and a true love of good food. And the drinks? Absolute perfection. The Peach Green Tea Cocktail was bright and refreshing, and the Lavender Lemonade Mocktail was every bit as crafted as a cocktail -- thoughtful, balanced, and locally inspired. What struck me most is how dedicated Cedar Rain is to being part of the Walla Walla community. They've built more than a menu -- they've built a gathering place that celebrates local flavors, family, and connection. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. Support local, eat well, and experience a family-run spot that truly honors its craft.
