The tater tots with the sauce on top were also a standout and something I'd order again without hesitation. That said, the service wasn't the best, especially for a first visit. I had a few questions about the menu and drinks, but our server seemed rushed and a bit annoyed, which made the experience feel less welcoming. Ordering drinks felt a little hurried, and while my husband really enjoyed his, mine were just okay. Overall, the food was great and the atmosphere is worth checking out, but I do wish the service had been a bit more attentive and helpful, especially for someone new to the place.

Everything we tried was done really well. The service was great, laid back and casual. The menu does rotate, so that's something to keep in mind. We came in a little too late to try the mac and cheese, which was a bummer, but the other sandwiches more than made up for it and were absolutely worth it. Overall, such a great spot with an awesome vibe. Easy five stars and definitely a place I'd go back to.

We went to Agave tonight for dinner and drinks before a show, and honestly, this place has a lot of…read morepotential. The atmosphere was really enjoyable -- the space has a great vibe, the drinks were well made, and overall it feels like somewhere that could become a favorite spot downtown. The food was decent as well, though not especially memorable. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the positives. From the moment we walked in, we felt more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests. The host greeted us while remaining seated at the bar and simply told us to "sit anywhere," which immediately set an odd tone. When I asked for paper menus, I was told they only use QR codes. Normally that wouldn't be a huge issue, but the menu was around 15 pages long with tiny font, making it frustrating to navigate on a phone. Once our food arrived, we essentially never saw our server again. No check-ins, no refill offers, no asking if we wanted another round of drinks -- nothing. Meanwhile, staff members were gathered at the bar loudly talking among themselves and openly complaining about being there, which was uncomfortable to listen to as customers trying to enjoy a night out. Eventually, we had to walk up to the front bar ourselves just to pay our bill. That was the most disappointing part because the restaurant truly has the foundation to be excellent. The ambiance and drinks are already there, but hospitality matters just as much as the food. A little attentiveness and genuine customer service would have completely changed the experience. We absolutely would have ordered more drinks and likely stayed longer if anyone had checked on us. Hopefully management takes service more seriously, because this place could be great with the right staff culture and attention to guests.

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!

It feels like walking into an old beer cellar or something from a Wisconsin brewer's past. The food does not disappoint. I had the mushroom stroganoff and it was divine. The creamy sauce truly is a knock out and those mushrooms are sautéed to perfection. I wish I had taken a photo before my hungry bootahy ate it all. Listen up vegetarian peeps, you'll enjoy this dish. There're fun options for everyone. The barkeep definitely needs to be raved about. Hallie is knowledgeable and cares about the cocktail she prepares. She knows the classics and she'll work with any spirit needs you desire. She blended 2 rums for me to make a classic style daiquiri with a hint of the Plantation Pineapple Rum. That cocktail should just be named after the barkeep because she is as sweet as they come. The environment is a rad basement setting with all the speakeasy vibes but the staff make it warm as hell because of how inviting they are. They take reservations and they have cozy rooms for large get togethers. Do yourself a favor and get in here. You'll need to walk around some orange cones due to construction but you'll be glad you did.

The owner went around and checked in with everyone and she was so fun and made us feel really welcomed. Oh and, of course, the food and drink was fabulous. My friends and I haven't stopped thinking about the tea. Oh, my gosh. It was incredible. The scones were the best part for me. The croissant sandwiches were a little hard (literally) to eat but the cucumber sandwich was to die for. The cakes were delicious too! But I would've taken longer to enjoy them (and you should too because they're quite rich imo). The soups were incredible. No notes. Flavorful, appetizing, the perfect amount. My friends and I always love these kinds of things and for an incredibly reasonable price, you leave feeling comfortably full in a way few restaurants really take the time to ensure with their portions. If I wasn't graduating, I'd be here every weekend After this experience I know that I want to find little, perfect places like this for all my major holidays and life events because it was such a treat to share with the people I love. Edit: this review is long enough but I'd like to add that some people talk about the wait and to that I say that some healthy perspective is appropriate. This business is less than a year old at this location at the time of this review. I think they're doing fabulous and if the wait is in service to the quality assured in the product, I applaud that. Eat a cracker before you arrive or something and enjoy your party's company. The food will come. I promise.

On my first night, I sat at the bar and ordered a Grapefruit Drop before getting a burger to go. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and the drink was excellent. Bright, citrusy, and well balanced. The Table 13 Burger was fantastic, cooked just right with fresh toppings and crispy fries. I brought it back to my room and enjoyed it while catching up on email, and it hit the spot. The next night, I went back and ordered the same Grapefruit Drop again because I liked it so much. I tried the Fish and Chips this time, and it was delicious with crisp batter and tender fish. The slaw was crisp but mild, kind of the vanilla of slaws. It added texture but not much flavor. I finished with the Huckleberry River Cake, a creamy and tangy dessert with a rich berry sauce that was absolutely scrumptious. The atmosphere was relaxed. I was there on a work trip traveling solo and felt comfortable sitting at the bar. There were plenty of other guests talking and enjoying themselves, but it wasn't overly loud. Service was great both nights, and the location off the main lobby is convenient. The food was excellent, and the experience was consistently good. I would gladly eat here again.
