I am saddened to give this review. I have never given this low of a rating, but I have also never…read morebeen so disappointed. I had heard wonderful things about this little bistro, but I left severely disappointed. We ordered the Wagyu steak, the chicken dish and a Margarita Pizza. The Wagyu was on the spendy side at $52.00 for this type of establishment, but not outrageous. Sometimes I am hesitant to order a steak of it is too inexpensive. However, a good Wagyu ordered medium rare should not be served sauced and sliced and should not be cold to the touch. It was very rare and not cooked properly. I don't believe they have the correct equipment to cook a steak like this as it appeared to be cooked properly on the edges. Whoever sliced it should have known that Wagyu will be tough and chewy if not cooked properly. The pizza had the same issue. It was bland and served cold. We decided to bring it home and try and cook it later. If I had to guess, it was a frozen pizza just cooked and not fresh. Finally, the chicken never came. It turned out that they were out of chicken. With a limited menu, this was disappointing, so we switched to the $28 cheese tray. The cheese tray was ok. Clearly just three random cheeses without a lot of thought into how the flavors could be expanded and mixed with the sides. The service was very polite and professional, which was the only redeeming factor. The food was not cooked well. It was not expensive, but it was not cheap and the food felt cheap and poorly done. If you are going to charge higher end prices, you need to deliver a higher end experience. My thoughts when I left were that if I lived close, I might wait a couple months and try again, but I will not bee driving out of my way again to eat there. Again, this kills me as I really had looked forward to trying this small bistro.

Long time fan of Latah Bistro so I am hoping that it is helpful for improvements as I want them to…read morestick around! :) Latah has always had great service and very well balanced tasty food. Unfortunately, tonight was not that. We were greeted by our waiter who was friendly but not very attentive throughout our visit. He was socializing with coworkers while we were waiting for our drinks. Which took awhile considering we were 2 of the 4 people in at that time. We ordered the Halibut Florentine and Chicken Scarpariello. The halibut was cooked well but the cream sauce totally overwhelmed the dish and drowned whatever vegetables were in it. It was more like a thick dip. Unfortunately it was so rich it made my stomach ache and couldn't finish the dish or my cocktail. The chicken dish was extremely over salted and overcooked. The entire dish was drenched in sauce and my mother wasn't able to finish her dish either. A dish that cost $47 for fish and "sauce" AND is inedible is a big let down. Overall a very disappointing experience from one of our favorite spots. Hoping it was just an off night.

I have enjoyed Luna for many years. I live very close. Just had dinner for two for a birthday. We…read morehad 5 drinks that totaled nearly $100. The total bill, pre tip, was $250 with no desserts. I was surprised with a $8 "service charge." Really. They have always been high priced with small portions. But this is too much. On my way to Spencer's from here on.

To be sure, this restaurant is more expensive than most in Spokane. We spent the same amount for…read morehalf as much the night before (and got refined food) . However, Luna does offer a lot of things for this price. You have a pleasant neighborhood restaurant vibe, with friendly attentive service and excellent, healthy food sourced from good places. As with anything in Spokane, you will see folks in very casual attire, but this is also a place where you can dress up. When we went, there were several tables of women friends (all ages), many family groups (without young kids or with well-behaved kids), and older couples. I was in the mood for salmon and they did a great version. It should be though for just under $50. It was served with black rice (good) and roasted carrots (good) and a carrot puree (really good but not enough on the plate). My dining companion got the scallops, and they were even more expensive than the salmon. $48 for TWO scallops. Ok, they are large, and well-cooked, and came with a lovely vegetable mix and couscous, but that's a lot of $ for Spokane. We are from CA and that's even a shocker for us. Dessert: they had recently added a banana pudding, which was good. It replaced a chocolate dessert--and that was a bad move because there is no intense chocolate on the menu. We also tried the coconut cake with lemon curd. There was not enough curd; it was barely a tang. The cake itself was a little dry. It is served with house-made ice cream, which balances the dryness but the cake should be good on its own. Apparently, this is their most popular dessert. I am a chocolate-first person. I like coconut. I like good vanilla. I really like lemon curd and a sweet-sour pairing. For me, this item felll short.

I was in Spokane for a conference and stumbled upon Wooden City because it is on the Spokane "where…read moreto eat list". A deeper dive showed a good possibility of gluten free options, so I made the reservation. I was in town on a Monday, just after Hoopfest, but they were the kind of busy where a reservation should always be made I think. My table was ready and I sat in the bar at a high top table. I think I would choose "in the dining room" next time. My server was friendly and quick, as well as knowledgeable about gluten free options. There is even a separate menu that lays out the dishes that are already gf or could be made to be. Love this, always. I ordered the summer salad to start. It was amazing. Flavorful. Fresh. The mint wasn't overpowering, the watermelon was the perfect ripeness. It was so good. I would try to recreate it but it was done so well, and I know I couldn't hit that dressing in the same way. Get it while you can. For my main, I had ordered the scallops in my brain before I even arrived. The risotto was a little soupy, but the flavor was SO good. The corn came through and it went so well with the scallops. The tomatoes were quite over salted, but as long as I didn't eat them alone, it was alright. The scallops were perfectly cooked and I felt like the portion was appropriately sized for the dish, even though there were only 4. My server really made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was busy but the booths looked like they could be cozy. The prices were on the higher end. But for a special occasion, it was worth it. I really wished I'd had room for dessert. I will surely go back the next time I am in town.

The food was outstanding : bruschetta, pulled pork sandwiches, Caesar Salad, Mac & Cheese (the first I'd ever enjoyed. EVER! ). We also had assorted beverages available.

We will not hesitate to use Remedy again for a future event! Thanks Hannah! You're a rockstar!

I genuinely don't know what parallel universe one of the last reviewers is coming from, but my…read moreexperience here has been the exact opposite. First of all, slow service? Every time I've been in, the staff has been warm, attentive, and somehow manages to make you feel like you matter without hovering. This place gives "the place you go where everybody knows your name," not "exclusive secret society," but okay. As for the food allegedly being "frozen junk"... I would LOVE to know what freezer is producing meals this fresh and this good because I'd like one installed in my kitchen immediately. I just found out they make their own cheese. Everything I've had has been thoughtful, flavorful, and clearly made by people who actually care. I have quite literally planned my day around my dinner tonight. Zero regrets. Also, moldy fruit? Stale buns? Be serious. If anything, I've had the opposite problem of trying to pace myself because everything tastes like it came out five minutes ago. What actually stands out about Remedy is the atmosphere. It feels like somewhere you want to linger. It's one of those rare spots that still feels human, not corporate, and that's probably why people keep coming back. Anyway, if this place is secretly a "private social club," then I guess I'm honored to have accidentally earned membership through the radical act of enjoying good food and kind service. 10/10. Will continue to return, bask, and eat my weight in food. Sorry to be snarky, but I have a real problem with people that nitpick and leave exaggerated reviews just to be that person. Your idea of a hangout must be dental office. This place is an absolute gem.

It's a short walk from the Parkade and they had a small outdoor seating area and I took a seat and I waited outside for my friend. The inside looks clean and inviting as well but in nice weather who can resist sitting outside? We both partook of one of their unique cocktails and our waitress was helpful in questions about menu items. My friend had the beet salad and I had the wedge salad with grilled chicken. Both salads were delectable! We sat outside chatting well after they closed between their lunch and dinner crowd and our waitress told us to take all the time we wanted which I appreciated. I will be back if the opportunity arises (without the hubby!).

I ordered the steak sandwich and my wife had the veggie wrap. My sandwich was perfect. Medium rare and a lot of arugula. My wife wasn't very happy with the taste of her wrap. Her tots tasted good. The biggest problem was the wait time. Our four meals took about 45 minutes to get to us from the time we ordered. Our waitress didn't keep us apprised of the status. Other tables, came in after us, were being served. When we asked, she said the pasta was taking a while (one of our friend's meals). She didn't ask if I needed a refill on my lemonade until she was removing my plate. It was good conversation with the friends, so that helped with the delay. We will probably try it again.

I went back for the first time in about four months and had one of the worst dining experiences I can remember. I won't be returning. It was a Sunday afternoon. There were people in the restaurant, but it wasn't busy by any stretch. I had actually recommended it as a place to meet friends, and now I'm honestly embarrassed that I did. Service was terrible from the start. I ordered a glass of red wine and it took 35 minutes to arrive. I drank it, but didn't even consider ordering a second because I knew I'd be ready to leave before it showed up. Waiting 35 minutes for a glass of wine is just ridiculous. Our appetizers came out after an hour and were ice cold. Not slightly cool. Cold. We didn't feel comfortable eating them, but couldn't even send them back because our server never came by to check on us. Our entrees showed up another 30 minutes later and everything was cold or room temp. How do you mess up tater tots? Again, no check-ins from the server until we were clearly done and asking for the bill. To top it off, when we paid, the server returned the wrong credit cards to the table and had charged each of us incorrectly with someone else's bill. Listen, mistakes happen. You can mess up appetizers, food, or even service on a bad day. But I draw the line at waiting 35 minutes for a glass of wine and being completely ignored the entire time. I will not be coming back, and I definitely won't be recommending this place again.

I really want to like this restaurant, this was my third attempt and I have to say I won't be…read moretrying it again. Firstly the drip coffee was horrible. We told the server it tasted burnt & old so she offered to make a fresh pot. It was just as bad, when she asked we said it was still really yucky and she said that a lot of people don't care for it. I ordered the tamale waffle. The beef was great, eggs were a bit overcooked but no biggie, the waffle was really hard and dry. It needs some sort of crema sauce or something. It wasn't horrible by any stretch but it wasn't great either. My mom got the veggie breakfast burrito and she liked the veggies though it was bland, felt like it could have had more sour cream & cheese. It was massive and came with a side. The added 16% service fee is some real BS. It says on the receipt that it's split between the server & the kitchen staff. Call me old fashioned but I thought it was on the restaurant to pay their staff a living wage. At $18 a breakfast plate & $4 for drip coffee you should be able to pay your staff. And then we're supposed to tip on top of that? Nope.

They are like overly fancy, to the max pickle. I'm not saying it's a pickle, because they are not "pickled", but, but, how do I say it....fresh, crunchy, tasty, with a good "kick".
