| - So disappointed! I have eaten at this restaurant many times during my stays at the airport Marriott and have always loved the food at Yakima. It seems that they have a new menu and all my favourites (e.g., shrimp bisque, Niçoise salad) are gone. However, I was excited to try a new menu item - the lettuce wraps. What a disappointment. The filling for the wraps was pale chunks of chicken breast and equally pale peanuts swimming in what appeared to be, and tasted like, bottled Thai sweet chilli sauce, with a few green onions thrown in for colour. Accompanying the filling was a bottle of hot sauce whose distinctly Mexican flavour totally clashed with the sweet chilli sauce, and a half head of iceberg lettuce that was so tightly wound that only the first 3 leaves were suitable for wrapping. The only redeeming feature was the yogurt raita, which was delightful.
Although the food was horribly disappointing, the service was excellent. Hence, two stars.
I was also surprised to see bourbon based drinks featured (for the season?). Given the current political and economic climate, I would expect that there are better options.
