A nice small boutique restaurant that I want to see succeed under its new ownership. Upon arrival we were offered one of two dining areas - the main space (with its unique black and white silent movie screen) or a separate smaller space. I never understand why restaurants do this - there were two occupied tables in each space - put everyone in one room - you get much more buzz and energy and avoid the feel of a failing restaurant. There also needs to be a little effort put into the overall visuals.... a storage space with piles of stuff visible as you walk to the bathroom, a ceiling that needs help, conference room style chairs with cheap wedding style covers... Ambiance means a lot, and a little effort could really do wonders.Now to the food and service - a very french focused menu with a reasonable wine list, but not great and not enough quality local wines. We started with the stuffed mushrooms ($10) (above average), split a wedge salad ($12) (very good) and moved onto the lamb chops - very good ($38). For drinks, the Cosmo ($12) was well balanced, and the wine (Alexandria Nicole J Syrah: $62) paired well. Service was excellent until the very end when attention faded, which is why we skipped dessert.I hope this place survives and then thrives. Certainly worth a try when in Yakima.

There were only five couples at the restaurant when we went. It was a very nice, intimate setting. The food was good but not totally memorable. They have a set menu and you are only free to choose the main course. To be honest, we were there less than one week ago and the only thing I remember is the puff pastry wrapped salmon (cooked to perfection) and home made chocolates (very smooth and creamy). Everything else is difficult to remember. My husband had the wine pairing and I drank water. It cost $127 plus tip for the two of us.
