I had a glass of merlot that was very flavorful and half price beings it was happy hour. My colleague ad I decided to order a few appetizers to share for our... More

This is a nice little restaurant with very good food. I had noodles in basil cream sauce with blackened chicken and it was very good. The servers are very attentive to your needs. It is small though and not much for atmosphere. But the prices were very reasonable so if you are looking for a good meal this is a... More

Cafe Melange is a small, up-scale, Mediterranean cafe with just about a dozen tables. Atmosphere was nice for a quiet lunch. The menu features salads, pizzas, and sandwhiches which are available for lunch. I had the lamb pizza. The size was perfect and the toppings were excellent. I wasn't really impressed with the crust of the pizza. I was expecting... More

The Melange salad is great. Service, atmosphere, and food also very good. Small but not crowded on a weekday for lunch.

Cozy (only 11 tables) with a great menu and wine selection. Make sure that you have their house salad, either with your entree or by itself. It's one of the best salads I've ever eaten.

I looked forward to exploring the restaurants in Yakima and gave this one a try. The Wednesday night was not crowded, only one other couple when we got there, only one other couple during our stay. The menu is interesting, seemed like a pricy place per the dishes listed. I took the waiters recommendation and tryed the special for that... More

We had made reservations at the French restaurant around the corner. My wife has allergies and when the chef there couldn't tell us the ingredients we left and came here. Glad we did! Duck with marionberry port sauce was tremendous. Melange salad was huge and delicious. We each had a tenderloin. Both were well prepared. Shitake was a little better... More

Stopped by again on my annual visit to Yakima. Food was once again outstanding. Service a tad below par, but acceptable.

It may have been good at one time, but I cannot say it was that great. Waiter was brisk, food was over cooked and wine was hugely marked up. Gilbert's Malbec next door in the their wine tasting room $26.00 but $66 in Cafe Melange. We have past it the last two nights and it has been all but empty... More

Walked into this restaurant without a reservation and we were treated to a very nice meal in a cozy setting (not a large restaurant). Other reviewers mentioned the cost, but unless you're totally clueless, you know going in that it is going to be more expensive than other destinations. Our food quality was excellent and worth the extra cost for... More
