Frommer's Review
The name means "wind" in Spanish, an obvious bow to the blustery air that blows through the gorge. The menu here changes regularly and roams all over the globe, but there are comfort foods (including a very good burger). On a summer evening, you might dine on the likes of squash-blossom-and-goat-cheese quesadillas, lamb sirloin with a goat-cheese chili relleno, or grilled salmon with citrus gazpacho. Next door, you'll find Gorge Wine Merchants, 218 W. Steuben St. (tel. 509/493-5333; www.gorgewinemerchants.com), a great little wine bar.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
