The Ice Harbor Brewing Company at the Marina is in a beautiful setting. The view is lovely. The restaurant was clean. However, the restaurant facility is only aspect worthy of praise.My husbandâs and mother-in-lawâs food was quite average. My mother-in-law ordered the soup and salad combo. My husband ordered the Rueben. My lamb burger was raw. My husband worked as a line cook in college and told me my burger should have never left a professional kitchen. I agree with his assessment. What took me aback was how unapologetic our server was when I showed her the uncooked portion of my lamb patty, which was most of the patty. Sure, our server said the obligatory, âsorryâ. Her tone of voice was she didnât want to be bothered. The general overall tone of the service was she didnât want to be bothered. I donât think the hospitality industry is a good fit for her.The prices were high. At $19.00 for a lamb burger, I should have bitten into a masterpiece. Even excluding the terrible cooking of the lamb patty, there was absolutely none of the ingredients of the lamb burger that were upscale. It was a very basic lamb burger, prepared exceptionally badly.We wonât be back.

Excellent omelet! The wait staff was excellent as well. I chose a veggie omelet and added spinach. The asparagus inside the omelet was cooked perfectly. The hashbrowns crispy and well seasoned. The menu for adult beverages looked delicious. Next time, for sure.

I stopppd in for lunch. I am from out of state but when I get to the Tri-Cities I try and come here. You get in line and order and they have it on a tray for you by the time you pay. I go back and forth between the pulled pork and their brisket. This visit was brisket and it was really delicious. I use their original sauceâthey have 3-4 choices. I also really like their Gouda mac and cheese and their cole slaw is good too. If you like BBQ, you need to give this place a try.

Have enjoyed in the past but our recent visit disappointing. It started with the fact that they give you one pat of butter for two people. True, it's not good for you but we always hate to ask everytime for more. Get the feeling of cutting corners. Both dinners ok but very bland without seasoning. Will probably not be returning soon.

As the name states, this is a place you can sample lots of micro brew type ales, but it's also a pretty good restaurant, serving everything from basic fare to seafood, to some dishes with a Mexican flair. Good outdoor seating, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor area, a nice touch, since we brought our pooch along. We had taco salad, which was excellent. The portions are huge. the prices a bit on the high side. the brews are good as well.

Went into Hop Jack's in Kennewick for lunch. It was our first time visiting this restaurant/beer pub. There was a pretty cool atmosphere with some hop farming art decorating the walls. Could have seen some hop vines and burlap sacks added for authenticity! At the suggestion of Hop Jack's associate Leksi, I added a side of Asian sauce to my pork rib tips and with the bbq sauce this made an excellent combo of flavors. All the staff were friendly and frequently checking on us. My wife had a chicken flatbread that disappeared without much chit chat in between so I think she liked her food too. Prices were pretty good, maybe a little on the spendy side at $13-15 per dish.

My family arrived for a late dinner. The bartender rocked at our craft cocktail orders (Old-Fashioned and an Aviation) and the food was delightful! For a 'burger' joint the menu was varied and offered many seafood options. Service was spot-on! We can recommend Bob's for solo, couple or family dining!

Friendly and fast service for our party of 5, and all items were excellent quality (that's why the rating of 4, otherwise it would be lower). However, it was so loud the entire time it was impossible to visit with our friends, and it definitely wasn't relaxing. Recommend you get their excellent food as takeout and go someplace else to eat it!

A little bird on TripAdvisor tipped me off to this place, and I was not disappointed. In fact, the Oso Buco far exceeded my expectations. My waiter enthusiastically recommended it, and I can say it's the best this side of Boston's North End. Slow-cooked pork shank served over parsnip puree with seasonal vegetablesand mushroom Marsala sauce $26.99. The Old Fashioned knocked it out of the park with a kick, a perfect aperitif to a richly flavored heap of goodness. I was tempted by so much, and I hope I land in another Twigs soon to compare.

My husband and I were so glad we went to this cool yet cozy spot for dinner. The food â especially the fish tacos that I ordered â looked and tasted great, and our server, Kayla, was friendly and helpful. My husband ordered a Philly Cheese steak, and we even got a humongous slice of carrot cake to take home.
