Second Street Grill

Location: 28 North 2nd Street, Yakima, WA

It took us a couple of trips to Yakima to discover the Second Street Grill. I was on a diet our first time there, so I chose a salad and watched my husband eat a nice juicy burger. This time around I was able to have a little more fun.

We started off by ordering the Avocado Bruschetta. They top seasoned crustini bread with pesto, Roma tomatoes, basil and slices of avocado and then drizzle olive oil over it. I love Bruschetta when it's done right, and this stuff was amazing. They didn't skimp on the tomatoes or the avocado, and it just tasted fresh and summery to me.

For our entree, we ordered the Salmon Three Ways, choosing the Alder Baked method. The salmon was good, but this was definitely the most plain of the methods. The other options are Miso Grilled or Ginger Teriyaki. I'd order it again but go with one of those for a little more flavor next time.

We chose the garlic mashed potatoes as our side, and they were serving peapods as the seasonal vegetable. Both were pretty average. We didn't love them, but we didn't hate them either. Truly the best part of the dinner was the Bruschetta, but it was by no means a bad meal. It just wasn't blow your mind good.

As you'll see in the video, we were able to eat outside during our visit. Sometimes the service at restaurants can be a little spotty when you don't eat indoors, but our waitress did a wonderful job making sure we were taken care of. We'll definitely be back, even if we will be trying a different entree next time.
