My wife and I have made the 3 hour round trip to eat here more than a dozen times since first trying Crafted about a year and a half ago. If you are a foodie, this is a MUST dining experience. The team at Crafted creates an ever changing menu sourced from local producers using the freshest available in season ingredients. Every bite they conjur up is heaven for your taste buds and leaves you desiring the next. To explain it simply is to say they take your wildest, most unimaginable food dreams and make them a realities you didn't know were possible. Don't get me started on what their desserts are like.....my god!!! Prices are more than fair, the constantly changing menu never disappoints on a single offering, the staff is incredible (especially Jen!!) and the dining style is fluid and fun. Beyond any doubt, Crafted is one of the BEST dining experience you will have, if not the best.

Highly recommend the chefs table.

The oysters were delicate. Perfect for an appetizer with a touch of raspberry. The halibut moist, fresh and flavorful. Fig bourbon old fashioned to top the meal off.

My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and decided to try this place out. I have heard good things about it and thought this would be a special treat to enjoy a nice dessert to wrap up our evening. The atmosphere was wonderful and the servers were polite and attentive. We ordered the cheesecake which sounded and looked amazing. This is where it took a horrible turn. As we were waiting for our dessert we both proceeded to watch 2 workers trying to cut the cake. Both were not wearing gloves and were both touching the cake as they cut it. My wife who has an autoimmune disorder needs to be more cautious to exposure of potential sources of infection became immediately upset in watching this. Myself as a medical professional also became upset at watching this. When the server came to deliver the dessert we politely declined it and explained why. The server completely understood and took the dessert away and tried his best to rectify the situation. We appreciated his efforts. I have no doubt they wash their hands but I would have expected better from a restaurant of this caliber. The menu looked amazing and sounds amazing and I would love to take my wife back and enjoy some of their food. But after witnessing what had happened we definitely have a sour taste in our mouth to return.

We made reservations. The options were "The Cellar" "Chef's Counter" and "Dining Room."
Just know The Cellar is just a basement. We were expecting a dining experience around wines but it was just a dingy basement. The finishes in the basement are not nice at all. Seemed like they slapped it together for extra seating.
Their stairs are not to code. Code states you need 12" depth min treads. These were more 6". Just very awkward and very much a tripping hazard.
Also they really could benefit from some acoustical sound absorption. It was toooo loud in the basement.
As far as the food. We got the Chef's 7 course meal. The food was good. A lot of it was butternut squash related. It also seemed like they don't try their food because half of it was lacking seasoning. I dunno something was off but I would say the other half was really tasty. I will say we did not leave hungry. We actually left with leftovers. Which we were very pleasantly surprised.

An absolute experience above the rest. If you live in Yakima and haven't visited Crafted, you are missing out. If you are visiting Yakima and Crafted isn't on your list, I recommend adding it. The location is easy to get to. Close to the downtown Yakima hotels. A greeting with a smile as you come in setting the mood for a welcoming dining experience. This will be a part of your visit that you won't soon forget.
The changing menu gives it the fresh new taste that you can always come to expect that something amazing is awaiting you. Seated at the bar top by the kitchen I was able to watch how the kitchen team worked so well together to craft each dish. Taking passion in what they do. Striking up conversation with you, making you feel at home.
The first dish was the scallops. Perfectly cooked. I have never pictured scallops as a fall dish, but after the presentation and the flavors packed into it, I can't think of fall now without thinking of the savory pine nuts paired with the scallops. Drinks were perfectly paired and followed by the chocoflan. The staff giving recommendations that didn't disappoint. You can feel the environment there is one that they enjoy being in and each of them treated me with the friendliest demeanor. Not feeling that I was just being assigned to one person and feeling a cold attitude from the rest. No. Here they all worked together to create a welcoming atmosphere to pair with the amazing food.
I look forward to coming again and trying what other flavor packed dishes they come up with.

Chef Dan and his team serve up culinary delights, to quote the movie “burnt”, Crafted serves up “culinary orgasms” you will eat until you “stop eating”.. you’ll want to try everything, every night, and your only limit will be space in your body.
Delicious, Amazing, and the best food you’ll ever eat until you return again… can’t wait to be back, already booked the next reservation.

Lack of pretense might make you overlook Crafted. That would be a huge mistake because the food was amazing. So many locally sourced ingredients paired with such a relaxed atmosphere makes you really appreciate this true stand out of chef and restraunt.
Well.. unfortunately for 105$ our two dishes were raw, cold and all around terrible. However, the servers and staff are absolutely amazing and make the whole experience. I would gladly pay 105$ for the service any day! Maybe just not 105$ for the food.

Stunningly good dinner spot. Chef's choice is a great way to go. Menu changes constantly. Hyper local and seasonal. Wine cellar is impressive. Come hungry.

Great restaurant with a fun menu, excellent staff and lively vibe. We had the chef's tasting menu and wine pairing. This included 7 courses and 4 glasses of wine. Our waiter was great at explaining what was coming out, and made sure to ask for our preferences and allergies. Each course was delicious. The green beans had a nice sauce and were perfectly cooked. The tomatoes were equally delicious. We also had the salmon, goat cheese, a pasta dish, the steak and a dessert. My only complaint is the steak came on the rare side. The dessert was a chocolate covered banana cream puff thing that had some nuts and caramel. It was a ton of food, well worth the price. Make reservations, all the tables were filled.
