    Always impressed! The view is breathtaking. Our server and staff went over and above for an anniversary party - they even stuffed 3 more people in at the last minute. Steaks, steelhead was fabulous.

    Food was overpriced for what we were served. The restaurant is beautiful, service was mediocre. Recommend a bit more variety on the menu. Overall, enjoyed other restaurants nearby more than Swiftwater Cellars.

    Wanted a special restaurant in Cle Elum to take a friend for lunch. Hoist house had it all! It’s a gorgeous space & views, service impeccable & professional. My friend had the Caprese salad & I had the Caesar with added grilled Steelhead fish. Excellent! If you have an opportunity to dine here, don’t hesitate! Best place in Cle Elum !

    We came for our anniversary and were blown away! We sat outside in relaxed comfortable chairs and had delicious seasonal wines along with Romesco & Veggies to start and the Steelhead Salmon for the main. The romesco was flavorful and fresh but the real show stopper was the steelhead salmon. Perfectly moist, flaky salmon with a smooth beurre blanc sauce. The service was attentive while still giving us privacy to enjoy the evening. We will be back next time we are in Suncadia!

    Can’t say enough good things about this place. I’ve been eating here for six years, and it’s becoming the only place I eat when I visit Suncadia. I’ve yet to have a bad item of the menu, at lunch or dinner. One request - bring back the butter cake!
