Perched on a bluff overlooking the Yakima River in Prosser wine country, Desert Wind is a destination winery, inn, restaurant & event center featuring spacious accommodations, estate wines, lunch & appetizers. Our large patio overlooking the Yakima River is the perfect spot for taking in the views with a glass of wine paired with light fare from our kitchen.

I arrived on time for my reservation to no avail. The tasting manager let me know that they were not serving food that day. No one called me, or sent notification of the changes. I am hopeful, some day to dine at this restaurant as the menu sounds delightful.

Great wines, some of the best you can find anywhere in my opinion. Food/Chef/Preparation was outstanding, don't know where they found you but really good quality. The ding is for the service side. Nice people, all of them, but completely untrained and unsure of what to do with a customer. I fear for them if they get busy. Hopefully this will change, my advice is to not get upset, enjoy the wine and simply explain that you need silverware when your food comes (if not before), there is a little fork that goes with the oysters, look at the menus before handing them out (one said "lunch" the other "small bites", we were there for dinner). That sort of thing. They can do better and I know they will. I hope to go back and stay at the inn and will try again, usually I don't give a second chance on service, but in this case it will be worth it because everything else was absolutely great and even on service, we got there eventually with some little helpful suggestions and teamwork.

Very pleasant experience at Desert Wind from moment we walked thru the doors, greeted promptly and sat in a pretty expansive outdoor setting, very southwest type atmosphere. Had Cod crustinis and wedge salads, both were delicious. Petit Verdot was pretty good as well. Our server was very nice gentleman who took good care of us. They were out of one dish that my husband wanted to try but we so enjoyed our time there that we will be going back soon.

We were in the area for a few days and had been here before when touring wineries. The food was delicious but they have a limited menu. The steak was a NY Strip, it was a little on the grizzly side. Should really rethink the choice and serve a rib steak.

The food was very good. Even our picky eaters enjoyed it. Would have liked a side of potatoes to go with burger

We had Mothers Day brunch - the drinks were good, one plate of food was cold, service was a little slow and it didn’t seem real organized with the waitstaff and it took awhile to get our order placed. We’ve been another time and it was a really nice experience - may have just been short handed or newer staff this time.
