    Stopped at Hoist House after a gorgeous chilly hike for a birthday lunch. We had a window seat, and a delicious meal. French onion soup was devine, and the cobb salad was perfection. We loved pairing it with a Malbec and a seasonal wine flight. Our server was attentive, gave great recommendations and made sure our birthdays were memorable. Thanks Hoist House! We’ll be back!

    When I look at how much Swiftwater wine we have in our cellar, I say it's time to cancel the wine club. Then we go pickup our wine and eat at the Hoist, and it's always such a great experience that we always leave with our wine (sometime more), and a big smile on our faces! Great food, fun place, excellent service (Abbey), and super wine. It's so worth the hour and 20 minute drive! We look forward to our next visit!!

    Our group met mid way between Yakima and Seattle and really enjoyed our visit. Joel our waiter was flexible to our needs. Our westside visitors are vegetarian and found many choices on the menu . Young and old enjoyed the ambiance in this dining room . We appreciated being able to linger. This was our third visit. We plan to be back.

    Friendly staff, excellent wine, and delicious food! The space is cute and cozy and didn’t feel claustrophobic at all. The wine flights were awesome and perfect to share over some appetizers. Our entrees were great as well.
