26 Brix

Next we ate a delicious dinner at 26 Brix. Even though our waiter was good, we were disappointed by the atmosphere. There were only 3 other tables in a rather large room. 26 Brix is in an old, restored building. It's too bad, there aren't more people eating there.

Our steak was surprisingly delicious. It was hanger steak which is similar to flank steak. A wonderful blackened flavor was enhanced by garlic and mushrooms. Even the french fries made the entire meal terrific.

We later learned from Ed & Michele that 26 Brix closed last year after disappointing sales. They originally wanted to be a classy, 5-star restaurant, but Walla Walla just can't support that type of restaurant all year long. From what Ed said, their prices used to be $40-50 for an entree. Ours was only $25 for hanger steak, fries and a side of mushrooms. They also have a similar menu as many of the other restaurants, so locals don't necessarily eat there on a regular basis.
