Orchard Restaurant

Not only the best food in Cle Elum, but perhaps the best east of the Rockies. Outstanding quality and well thought out menu. Farm to table fresh ingredients. Unique and well prepared. We'll be back again soon and hope it wasn't a fluke.

Wonderful atmosphere in downtown Cle Elum! Very attentive staff. Amazing chef. Such a fun experience with a multi course dinner. Great place for a date night. Highly recommended

Bottom line - restaurant has greatly improved, great date night spot, not for families (service is geared towards a slower service model) and probably the best food in town. Great for date night or night out with friends.

Updating my review (previous review was one star) after I gave Orchard another chance recently. I was pleasantly surprised, the service was much more attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and what they are offering. I first visited shortly after their opening and clearly they’ve worked out many of the kinks.

The food was very good, not quite to the “I gotta come back for that” level but very good. We had the pasta (delicious), ahi tuna nachos, salads and steak as the main course. The cut of beef wasn’t for me and I wouldn’t order it again, but the rest of the food was made to order and you can tell the chef had a lot of pride in her product!

The wine selection was great and complimented their menu nicely.

I’d recommend for anyone looking for a date night or night out with friends in Cle Elum!
