Carousel French Cuisine

A real gem in the Yakima Valley. You'll think you're in an intimate Seattle restaurant when you walk into The Carousel. It's on historic Front Street but it's a bit hard to find, as it is tucked back off the street and their sign is not prominent. It has a nice, quiet atmosphere, the service is personal and non-pretentious, and the food is excellent. I love their Spinach Salad Flambe (made at your table) and my husband's favorite is the Porto Filet (not shown on the menu, but always available as a special). And if you get appetizers, the stuffed mushrooms are delectable.

My only regret is they're not open for lunch.…

Best dining experience in Yakima. On Valentine evening my husband and I had the most wonderful meal since moving to Yakima last summer. For starters we had escargot (my husband thought they were the best he had ever eaten)and I had the crab cakes which were a perfect proportion and so good. He had the lamb and I had garlic prawns. Both meals were simple and very good. Prepared to perfection. The raspberry creme brule and the parfait with wild cherries in brandy were beyond words - a perfect ending to the meal. Yakima is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very relaxing . We have tried many restaurants since moving here and this has to be #1 for having it all. We will definitely recommend it and plan on eating there again. The price is worth the experience especially for a special evening out.…
