We were so disappointed and didn't want to be. Based on Frommer's (1 star) highly recommended review our divided group (from Everett and Richland) each drove 2 hours to eat (for a birthday dinner) at the Valley Cafe. We loved the idea of the vintage cafe and the appetizer of baked Camenbert with Crostini bread and fruit was delicious. Unfortunately... more

We were attracted to the Valley Cafe as we were driving by and the menu looked very promising. But it proved disappointing. Ravioli was good, as was the olive oil and herb dip for the bread, but the dinner spinach salad was just plain awful. The spinach had wilted under the all-too-plentiful goopy dressing. In addition, after an enthusiastic welcome,... more

I agree with another reviewer. This resturant is just alright at best. We have lived here for 2 years now and tried every resturant. We have good taste and we have decided the best place (which is above average for here) is the Starlight Lounge on Pearl Street but a little pricey. The atmosphere is nice. If you want a... more

I've been to nearly every restaurant in Ellensburg, and this is by far my favorite. It has become my natural selection for celebrations and intimate dinners. The Valley Cafe has delicious, quality food, a varied menu, super wine selection, and inspiring atmosphere. Though it's probably not a place for young children, there should be something to satisfy anyone's tastes. Be... more

The Valley Cafe is a refuge for any cross-state traveler! Ellensburg has a lot to offer but the Valley Cafe is something more - - it is an icon. Even if the flavorful meals at great prices weren't enough, sitting in a perfectly preserved Art Deco shrine would be plenty for me! But then there is the wine: lots by... more

We regretted not trying some of the other interesting-looking restaurants in town. This one got a good review in one of the travel guides, but maybe that's why they don't think they need to try very hard. The server was somewhat rude and ridiculously slow. We were there for lunch but were tied up for well over an hour, mainly... more
