About the restaurant

Cowiche Creek Brewing is one of the most unique dining experiences in the Yakima Valley. Located on a 40 acre working farm with expansive valley views and indoor/outdoor seating, the brewery highlights crisp, hop-forward ales paired with the kitchen's rotating, seasonal menu. Their culinary creativity elevates the menu beyond traditional brewpub fare; including USDA Prime Grade burgers (ground in-house), homemade pastas, and specialty dining events featuring oysters, birria tacos, prime rib, and lobster rolls.

The best prime rib I’ve had anywhere. I tried a bite of a steak too and it was over the top. It’s a real gem! The owners are very hard working and creative. I highly recommend it!… beer is great too.

We have been guests twice. Each month features a different themed menu. Velveteen is a dining experience--just not a place to eat! No way could I have the vision or experience to try and recreate any of the courses we've enjoyed!

Another great evening at Atlas Fare! Despite being full and busy for the staff, we were well attended, quickly served and had exceptional food! A few groups were boisterous so the noise level was high but we had a wonderful time. One of the best restaurants anywhere and most foods on the menu are gluten free😀. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Our server was perfectly attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive. The food was beautifully presented and flavorful. And they provided a complimentary basket of bread! (Too many restaurants have dropped this upscale practice.) A wonderful restaurant for both food and conversation.

Mana is a rare find, even within the largest cities, and even more of a treat in the small Leavenworth town. The value is beyond comparison as the menu is so unique, and creative that finding another restaurant for comparison is a long shot at best.

Always a great night out for dinner and conversations. Server Max took wonderful care of us. It was a little busy due to the holiday season so more background noise than usually. We still had a very nice evening and will come back. Petra
