    This place is AMAZING. We have been a handful of times now, and every time we love it. It's located in the back of Little Noodle, so my review for both is the same (: FOOD & DRINKS: for drinks, we had the pear old fashioned and berry blossom. Both of the drinks are very good and beautifully presented. Definitely craft cocktails. We started with the musubi (tofu and spam) and roti canai. The musubi was good but nothing super special. The sauce with the roti canai was soooooo yummy! For entrees, we ordered the pho with tri-tip and ramen with tofu. They were both delicious. The pho was personally my favorite, good flavors and good spice level when adding the jalapeños. Just good, simple food. Also, I have gotten the kimchi udon in the past, and wow, that stuff is delicious. SERVICE: okay, the SERVICE is the absolute best part of this place. The first few times we had Kadra, and she was so friendly and made fantastic drinks. Tonight, we had Steph, such an attentive bartender, and made for great conversation. I would go back just for the amazing drinks and service alone! AMBIANCE: Itty Bitty Buddha is so so cute. Very quaint and unique. It's a similar size to Baby Bar, if you've ever been there, but more elevated. You order at the counter in the main dining area, so if you're looking for a fancy upscale dining experience, this is simply not the place. PRICE: The price is pretty standard - craft cocktails for $11-14, entrees for $12-20 depending on what you order. The portions are large, so it's well worth the money. OVERALL: Our experience is always top notch and we will continue to keep going back!

    I had heard really nice things about this place from my friends. I think the decor and ambiance of the restaurant and bar were very fun. I liked the vibe. We made the mistake of ordering food and drinks at the same time. We got our drinks and they were really bad. I thought we got the wrong drinks. I confirmed with the bartender they were correct. So we suffered through them. Had we not ordered food we would have left immediately. The food was ok but very bland. I really wanted to like this place but sadly we won't be coming back and I can't recommend the drinks or food. Hopefully it improves.

    In classic speakeasy fashion, this dark "craft beverage" bar (not JUST whiskey bar...according to…read morethe tender on duty) is tucked neatly behind a bookshelf within a storefront that lacks outer signage. You could easily (and maybe have...) walk past it and not even know. I found my way in and was faced with a dark room and a wonderfully lit display of liquors. They infuse many of their own and offer flights of infused whiskeys. The drink menu has options that feature many different spirits. I chose a gin and citrus drink that was a wonderful blend of bitter and refreshing. I made myself sip it slowly, but it was tasty enough that I could have thrown it back. The bar tender was friendly and attentive, as well as knowledgeable. The room seemed to be recovering from the recent Hoopfest...there were coolers and some things in the back of the space. There were also a LOT of bottles on the counter behind the bar. I don't know if it is always like this, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely go back for the drink and to show it off to friends.

If you love craft cocktails, this place is for you. I got one of their drinks which was a tequila espresso martini. I haven't tried tequila in an espresso martinis before but loved it. Our server was quick and friendly! Had a great evening with some friends.

    This spot made me fall in love with Spokane's food scene. While I can't claim to have been to tons…read moreof restaurants in the area, this one made me decide I needed to come back to Spokane to get more of their amazing Corn Bread and try some other places in the area. Let me just say... their cornbread. So good. I was visiting on a work trip and I loved my experience at the restaurant so much I returned the next day with a friend also in town for work. The cornbread is like a dessert even if it's meant to be an appetizer. Now every time I come into town, even if I don't eat at the restaurant, I order at least two cornbreads to take home with me. I will say one time they did burn it and I hadn't realized it til I was already well on my way back to the west side. The most recent time I went about 3 weeks ago the cornbread was not burnt, but I feel like it wasn't AS good as I recalled the other 4 times I went to the restaurant. Next time I'm in the area, I'll opt to eat in the restaurant and enjoy it fresh! Every time I've been, I have had great service. The staff is always kind even if they're slammed! The first time I went I chatted with the bartender since I was alone and sat at the bar. They also have really great drinks! Finally, their bathrooms are nicely decorated! Definitely have recommended this place to many!

But that was all that was great. It seems that everything is cooked on the highest temperature. We got hushpuppies and whipped honey cornbread for appetizers. The hushpuppies were dense and while they lack flavor - I did enjoy the sauce that came on the side. It was spicy and had a nice flavor. Although it was obvious they do fry the hush puppies and fish in the same oil. The honey corn bread was burned and tasted of burnt oil. It was oily and had a strange taste and was overwhelmingly sweet. (You'll find that burnt is a common theme.) My Cajun burger was good but the buns were burned. The meat was juicy and had a nice flavour. The fries were seasoned well and were crispy while being soft on the inside. The pork ribs were decent. The sauce was nice. They weren't fall of the bone tender, but still tender enough. The coleslaw on the side was very sour and spicy. It was more like spicy sauerkraut rather than coleslaw. The seafood boil was underwhelming small especially for the price. The shrimp were overcooked. The clams were very small. The muscles still had beards. The potatoes and corn were cooked nicely. It needed more salt and sauce. The sweet teas came unsweetened and while it did came with sugar on the side - the grains were too big to actually stir in. And I would like the mentioned that my cup of water had black specks floating around in it. All in all - I wouldn't return.

Our drinks were always full and she answered all our questions. She brought me beer samples to figure out which one I wanted. The waiter was busy but always greeted and said goodbye to all guests coming and going. Food 10/10 For the tablet we got calamari, the Durkins famous double cheeseburger and the fried bologna sandwich. The food was extremely fresh! The cheese was melted to perfection. We left with full bellies but not feeling heavy. The food was decadent but not greasy. My husband got a mocktail, spiced cranberry and it was fabulous! My husband and I can't wait to go back. We paid approximately $100 with tip, so it's not cheap, but WORTH IT for the quality of food and service.

    I was informed by several people that this place was notorious for its burger. So when I came to…read moreSpokane for work, I decided to go ahead and give this place a try. Upon my encounter with one of the bartenders, I was told that they only had one burger. It was a double burger and it came with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a delicious pickle. The burger was spot-on and much better than I had anticipated. It was fairly large and filling and was cooked nicely. It came with some fries and a dipping sauce that always was a good adjunct to the burger. Burger came it to ~$25.00 which is expensive for a burger, but given inflation and the deliciousness this burger represented, I was satisfied. Ambiance-wise, it is a nice looking bar that serves food, and they make upscale drinks. Definitely was not planning on having drinks here, but the bartender was nice enough to agree to make me a royal aviation as they make regular aviations. I will definitely be back for that and I am looking forward to it. Highly recommend this place!
