The other day we were invited to sample Carousel Restaurant and Bistro. I was looking forward to it as it's one place I had never been to. Now that I have, I can't believe I waited so long to try it out. It was amazing!

I love historic areas and this gem is inside the old opera house from several decades ago. Real bricks and all.

As we found our seats, I liked watching the Charlie Chaplin film that was showing on the wall. I thought that was neat.

The food was like none I've had before. This was the type of food I'd expect at some high-dining establishment in Seattle or Portland, but not in Yakima. We sampled a couple of the appetizers, a soup, a salad and an entree. Everyone else ordered the filet, but I opted for the duck as you can't just order duck at most restaurants. Needless to say, it was amazing.

They even did the live presentation where they cook something and the flames shoot out of the pan as the alcohol burns off. I've only seen that in movies.

All in all, from the staff to the food to the decor and atmosphere it was an amazing experience.

So amazing, I want you to check it out at great price. Starting at 8 a.m. this Friday (Feb. 20), you can take advantage of getting a $50 certificate for only $25. Quantities are limited, so don't miss out.
