Food with a View

Columbia Point, Richland

Fuel your activities at one of four restaurants here, all with big picture windows and plenty of patio space to take in the harbor and river views. Find Pacific Northwest fresh seafood at Anthony’s, grab a craft cocktail and a local spin on classic American fusion favorites at LU LU Craft Bar + Kitchen, a Northwest-raised steak at Budd’s Broiler, or spring for an upscale dining experience around the fire at Drumheller’s Food & Drink at The Lodge at Columbia Point. And planned for May (as of press time), Perch Cantina brings Mexican food and craft cocktails, by the owners of LU LU.

Richland Wye

From here, you’ll find beautiful views overlooking wooded Bateman Island and the confluence of the Columbia and Yakima rivers.

Sip perfectly poured house-made brews at Rattlesnake Mountain Brewing Co, paired with pizza, burgers, sandwiches, and more. Find seasonal inspiration at local J. Bookwalter Winery’s newest eatery, Fable: Craft Bar, Wine Saloon, Food Joint, which emphasizes farm-to-table sourcing.

Clover Island, Kennewick

This walkable and bikeable East Coast-inspired island comes complete with a working lighthouse, marina, and Coast Guard station—and some great eats. Catch the game or have a cold one with friends at local Ice Harbor Brewery at the Marina
accompanied by soul-satisfying casual fare. Not a drinker? Be sure to try a glass of their house-brewed root beer. Crow’s Nest Bar and Grill, located at the top of the Clover Island Inn, offers low-key lunch and dinner harborside favorites with fourth-floor river views. Cedars at Pier One offers some of the finest dining in Tri-Cities with a full dinner menu of upscale seafood and sizzling steaks, prime rib, top sirloin, and filet mignon.
