Ordered baked mac and cheese but they slipped in Mac salad instead; didn't like the slaw, very watered down thin dressing; cornbread and brisket was very good. read more

We went for happy hour and the service was awful:( I hate leaving reviews like this but the bartender was rude and the only time they came up to our table was when we flagged them down. The food was pretty good but unfortunately don't think we'll be back read more

Love the ambiance and the view of the river. Service was attentive and engaging. The truffle fries were good! The cocktails were a twist on classics and did not disappoint! Will definitely be back. This restaurant gives me California vibes. read more

David is the best server ever, and Mike N is a chef like no other. We had the bruschetta to start, I had the fried fish and UNBELIEVABLE truffle-parmesan fries, and we finished with a flourless chocolate cake and scoops of tillamook vanilla ice cream. I lost count of how many times we said "Oh my gosh" as we ate- but this was a spectacular experience. I'm so, so glad the Osprey is in Spokane, and they hire such incredible people. read more

What a great venue! We went for lunch and had to order from the brunch menu. Luckily, the Osprey salad with salmon was on the menu! Salmon was perfectly cooked and flavorful!! The salad had crumbled cheese that mixed with the dressing--so yummy! Definitely need to come back here to eat from the dinner menu! The waitstaff said they close the kitchen for an hour or so and reopen later in the day for dinner. read more

If I could I would give this place no stars. I don't ever write reviews but our experience was so bad I had to warn everyone. We had a reservation for 2 for 6:15. We walked in 7 min early to check in. Everything looked a bit chaotic but it was dinner time. No one working the front desk seemed to know what was going on. The women at the counter had a res for 8 at 6:30 and the told her it would be a few but no problem. Then they walked away. 10min later, no joke, they came back and checked me in. There was so discussion and at 6:30 we were sat down. The waiter came took our order and we waited. 15min drinks came and the party of 8 was sat down behind us. We continued to wait. At 7:25 the party of 8, which ordered 30 min after us, was being served their food. I asked our server to cancel the food because I was already late to my meeting. I asked to speak to a manager. We got up to walk out after 5 min and the manager catches us. I'm a bit heated but I tell him what happened and he just stood and stared. No I'm sorry; nothing. The people seated next to where we had the conversation started chiming in too telling him that was unacceptable. He still just stood there looking stoned not saying a word. Needless to say I never got eat. AVOID this place! read more

My party was told it would be a 20min wait for the patio. Ended up waiting an hour with multiple people getting seated before us (no reservations for patio). We were seated directly next to the spot they scrape off plates and stack dirty dishes. Why would you put a table there?! The poor server/hostess was almost in tears the entire time, our server said they were short staffed, food was ok, live music was ok. Won't be back. read more

My friends & I went for lunch. Staff gets 4 stars because they were friendly. But the food was mediocre at best. Potato Corn Chowder was really good! As was the French Dip. But the "special" cod fish & chips was over fried & as bland as could be: frozen premade product. Definitely expect much better from them. French Onion soup had whole cloves of garlic and was weirdly sweet. Jalapeño Penna with grilled chicken had no jalapeño flavor at all, just plain ol' Alfredo. AND nothing was hot! Most of my pasta had absorbed the sauce. Served barely above lukewarm. Was obvious that our food had sat for some time before being served. Do not order dessert: Barely chilled Chocolate Mousse was more like a cross between pudding & mousse and the chocolate cake underneath was absolutely horrible! It was dense, hard and EXTREMELY dry! The crème brûlée was more like an egg custard, not creamy & rich as it should be. DISAPPOINTMENT doesn't come close to our experience. They should go back to doing bbq. read more

Enjoyed a beautiful evening on the patio for dinner! Our server, Tyrone, was great- friendly and checked on us often! My husband had the shrimp pasta dish and I had the Cobb salad - both were tasty! For dessert we shared the peach bread pudding with vanilla ice cream- so yummy! read more

I ate 3 meals there when I stayed at Ruby River. the service is ver slow so plan ahead. Breakfast: mediocre. I had to request butter for my pancakes. the coffee and juice came out with the food. lunch: (actually it was more between lunch and dinner)..ok. We had Fish tacos, truffle fries and a bruschetta. They were ok. I liked that the bread for the bruschetta wasn't overly toasted. We also had the Berries and Cream, that was delicious. Dinner: toooooo salty. I had the pork loin. It was super tender but oh so salt. The potato purée was creamy but salty. The asparagus was grilled to perfection. I did have an adult beverage this marionberry frozen drink with whipped topping, it was DELICIOUS!!! read more

I took a friend here today for a BD celebration. We enjoyed happy hour on the river patio with incredible eats (truffle fries and burrata caprese.) Trebor was our jovial and efficient server~we really enjoyed him and our entire evening at Osprey~we'll be back!! read more

Location. Bad service. We sat on the patio for about 45 minutes before we got our food. There were people inside and outside sitting for almost the same amount of time and noone had gotten their food. When we did get it, it was good. But Not a good way to spend a hot Sunday morning when you're only in town a short time read more

This place is so amazing and friendly. We have stayed multiple time at hotel and come here for dinner. The hotel is dog friendly, and the restaurant has options for dog outside. We wouldn't stay anywhere else and the food and service is with the stay. Very family friendly. read more

Went with a large party and they did an excellent job. I had the fish tacos and a cup of chicken tortilla soup. Very good. Would return.

This is a neat little spot for lunch right by the waters. I'm visiting from out of town and some friends took me here. Service was on point, food was good, drinks were yummy, view was nice, no complaints here. My boyfriend got the buffalo chicken wings and I got the osprey salad. The salad had Gorgonzola cheese, pieces of walnuts, slices of sweet pears, and a delicious vinaigrette dressing. The only thing I would change is to have a bit less dressing as I felt the salad was a tad too drenched for my liking. But nonetheless, it was still good. My boyfriend's buffalo chicken wings had just the right amount of tang and crisp. Both dishes were extremely tasty. Our friends got the avocado sandwich and pasta. That looked amazing as well. I got the strawberry frose to drink and it was so refreshing. I would definitely not mind coming back here when I'm in town again. read more

The Osprey restaurant has been one of my favorite restaurants in Spokane since it opened. However, tonight I got a strange surprise when I paid for my meal: The change was 48 cent short. I mentioned it to the waitress, and she said they are not given coins for making change. We asked at the bar if proper change could be made there. He said he only had pennies. How interesting. I will never recommend the Osprey again until this practice is changed. I would also be less likely to go there myself. However small, this is stealing--and on a regular basis as a matter of business practice. Whether this results in hundreds of dollars a day of unearned income to the Osprey is an interesting point, but perhaps not the most important one. For instance, if the restaurant prefers to round all checks so that coins are not given in change, they could round up, advantaging the customer rather than the restaurant. Or, they could charge for each item in whole dollars rather than including cents in the price. That the Osprey management has not thought this through in a more customer-oriented manner is disappointing. It is one thing if you choose to give me your money. It is another if you choose to take mine--as a business practice--when you haven't earned it. Or could it be that the Osprey prefers not to welcome customers who pay with cash? read more

Great patio with attentive service. Recommend the Cobb Salad and Burrata Caprese. Particularly appreciated the willingness to accommodate special request on both. If you find yourself down by the river on a sunny day, swing by :) read more

Drinks are delicious. Food is delicious. Right on the river and great ambiance. Service is great too. Highly recommend

Beware of credit card fraud. On June 22, I met some friends for happy hour. I ordered one drink and left a $5.00 cash tip. A couple of days later I saw that the charge to my bank account was $10 higher than the bill total, so an additional tip was added to my card without my approval. On June 26, I called Osprey and left a message in the morning about 45 minutes before the restaurant opened. I called again at 12:10 pm but no one answered the phone. I was able to reach someone at 3:50 pm, but they were not able to locate a manager/supervisor to speak with me. They took my name and number and said someone would call me back. I waited 2 days and no one called me back, so I called again at 2:10 pm. Someone answered immediately and I explained the situation. They told me that they were refunding my full bill and it would take a few days. While grateful, I was confused how they were able to do that considering they didn't have any of the transaction details. A Supervisor named Dusty then came to the phone and it seemed like they had me confused with another customer. She took down all of the payment details and let me know they would refund the additional $10 charge. She apologized and stated that sometimes "accidents happen". It is now July 10, and I still have not received a phone call or refund from Osprey. It seems I'm not the only one to have this issue and they restaurant does not appear to have any desire to rectify the issue. This is the worst customer service failure I've experienced at a restaurant, and I won't be back. UPDATE: shortly after posting this review, I was contacted by the Manager at Osprey. He was very professional and apologetic. The full charge was refunded to my card and I was offered a gift card to come back and try again or share with a friend. While I'm disappointed that it took a public post to get someone to call me, I am grateful for the service correction. read more

Delicious food, our server was amazing and the ambience very nice. Loved the view looking out on the river. Our server even offered to take our picture by the water. read more

I was so excited to see bbq came back, but I was disappointed with my experience. They cut the menu way back, long await to receive food, not much food for the value, and the quality was not very good. Meat felt old and warmed up and very expensive for what it was. Won't be back for that unfortunately. Will stick to the restaurant side in the future as that is usually good! read more

Highly recommend! The food was phenomenal! The staff was helpful and the views are amazing! We sat in the bar and ordered a few different apps to share. We ordered the nachos with chicken. They were delicious. The chicken was Smokey and flavorful! We also got the poutine. This dish was beyond perfect. The steak was very tender and full of flavor. The cheese curds were crunch and very complementary to the gravy and fries. Everything about this dish worked and was very tasty! We also got the Burrata Cheese Caprese which was also very tasty and amazing! The red pesto was to die for! We sat in the bar and Jessica was our bartender/ server and she was amazing! She was so friendly and efficient! She did her job very well and made our experience that much more enjoyable! We will definitely be back! read more

Great service from Ashley. It looks like a great space and as a local I didn't realize it was there. Beautifully decorated, nice view of the like. Entertainment from the centennial trail right out door. The food was great. We didn't realize there was a happy hour between lunch and dinner so we didn't realize it was limited menu. Wasn't much for option for gluten free folks but my friend was able to make the shrimp work. We made due and had the tempura shrimp, pulled pork tacos (asked for extra pickled onion, didn't get any) and shared truffle fries. The fries were yummy. Garlic aioli was good, but very thick, the ranch was great. Pulled pork was nicely smoked. I didn't get much ginger flavor but maybe next time, I was super excited for that and the pickled onions. Jalapeño pineapple margarita was great. Can't wait to come back with my husband, he will love the jalapeño margarita. I'm excited to try the lunch and dinner options but would definitely get the tacos again. Sadly didn't get any pics as we were deep in conversation. read more

Beautiful igloo, though heated it's still get pretty cold inside so dress warm! Our server was super friendly and the foods were surprisingly good (rib & shrimp linguine). We will be back for sure and stay at the hotel for our next business trip so we can enjoy Osprey more :). read more

What an unforgettable dinning experience. The experience was so unforgettable that I thought it was worthy of my first review! If you don't care to read all of the details outlined below, you clearly value your time and do not want it wasted. If that is true, then you must never step foot in this restaurant. It's been a few days since my lunch with friends at Osprey, but I made sure to take notes on how it went so I feel confident that these details are accurate. Before ever arriving, we had made a reservation for eight for a late lunch. When we called, we requested that we be seated outside since it was going to be a nice day. They informed us they could not reserve specific tables, but that getting our group a table outside shouldn't be a problem. We arrived on time for our reservation at 1:30pm, and waited roughly 15 minutes before being seated inside, in a space that felt like the hotels lobby. Not exactly the patio seating we hoped for, but it was later in the afternoon and we wanted to eat. After being seated for 40 minutes watching group after group make their way to the outdoor seating as we sit in a half empty restaurant, and having only ordered drinks, our menus were then swapped out for a different menu, because meal times had supposedly changed. Once we all re-decided what we wanted to eat, we finally placed an order around 2:30pm. We then did not see our waitress until 3:10pm, when she came over to apologize for how long things were taking. We were informed that a large group in the private conference room had ordered at the same time as us, and despite the fact that we had been there half an hour longer than they had, our order and theirs were being prepared together. Well imagine our surprise when moments later this other groups food started coming out, and we were still sitting there with no food and empty drink glasses. 20 more minutes went by and I began to look for our waitress so that I could flag her down, but she always seemed to be out on the patio (if only we were out there, eh? It would have made speaking with her so much easier). After finally finding her inside, away from her other tables, I asked what the timeline may be for us getting our food. She very apologetically told me that she did not know, and then looking to her left introduced me to the general manger who happened to be standing next to her. He said nothing. He said nothing to her after she explained the whole situation, and nothing to me as I asked what we could do about it. It was genuinely impressive how unfazed he was by this level of service his restaurant had been providing for the entirety of the afternoon. After many awkward moments of this mans glazed over stare, with no words being spoken, I informed the both of them that we would be leaving. Our waitress asked if we could wait just a moment, and around 3:45pm came over to our table to let us know we were good to go and did not owe anything. We left having never ate anything, and only one round of drinks in 2+ hours spent at our little indoor table with waiting room chairs. I will note that our waitress did at one point offer us a free round of drinks, which would have been nice had she followed up and actually served us the drinks we told her we wanted. All in all, this was the worst dining experience of my life. It is criminal that a place like this has made it so long, but a patio along the river will always be good for business regardless of the service and quality of food (yes, I did not eat the food, but everyone I have talked to since sharing this story has told me it is mediocre on it's best day). I sincerely hope that as you look for a place to eat, you respect yourself and value your own time enough to not try eating at Osprey, Spokane's worst dining establishment. read more

We made a reservation for Christmas Day but nowhere on there did they mention a "set menu" so when we got there the options didn't include any chicken on their menu. They had some red meat & salmon. They didn't cater to people that didn't eat either. When we asked if there were any options, the waitress admitted there was nothing they could do. As a seemingly higher end restaurant, it didn't make sense that they would offer a variety for people who have certain food preferences. Had we known there would be a set menu, we would have never come. Also, when the food came out it was the most disappointing thing. Nothing was great except for the dessert of crème brûlée & some bread pudding. How can this be?? Overall, do NOT recommend. Save your money & go elsewhere. read more

This place provides outdoor seating for sit down dining! We went on a cold night but the heating out on the patio was pretty great, I even took off my jacket. It's super cute there, I can't wait to try it out during the summer when it's warm. The food (specifically chicken Katsu sandwich) was really good! And I LOVE their fries. The HH drinks are l good at a great price! I Recommend. read more

Came here for my boyfriend's graduation dinner and we unfortunately did not have a great experience. The staff seemed to be ignoring us the whole night. There was no one at the host stand when we arrived and we had to look for someone to seat us. Once we finally got seated, it took a while for them to come take our drink order. We ordered 1 appetizer and all of our entrees at the same time. They were out of the one food item half of us wanted so that was a shame. The appetizer took 45 minutes to get to our table and the entrees came lukewarm another 30 mins later. We had to ask someone to refill our waters because no one would come to our table. They also told us they don't seat parties over 4 outside. When we arrived we saw parties over 10 seated out on the patio. I do not recommend coming here read more

Literally stopping my terrible meal to write this review so that no one else will make the same mistake we did and choose this place for the somewhat riverview. Do NOT eat here!! There are 4 of us here on business and we had a 630 reservation and every part of our experience has been terrible. The food came out so late and very lukewarm and extremely mediocre. We weren't all given silverware, salad plates weren't taken after sitting in front of our for 20 some minutes. There was sent a manager to talk to and lots of excuses. I could go on and on, but we are leaving. read more

Top View Spot in Spokane for drinks & easy eats. The view and patio on the river are tops. The decor of the restaurant is cool and contemporary. The appetizer we had was the Buffalo Pork BBQ shank with bleu cheese coleslaw, it was PHENOMENAL. The shanks were so meaty, smoked and well flavored the perfect kick. Very delicious bleu cheese coleslaw, perfect compliment. (Please keep BBQ on the menu!) We each ordered a few drinks that were delightful and refreshing. Cheeseburger & Grilled chicken sandwich were both awesome with fire grilled taste and great fries. Our service was also spot on. This is going to be a must brunch stop & drinks/dinner on the patio! Excellent view, drinks, service & food! read more

The patio at The Osprey cannot be beat. A river view and plenty of shade of the sun is too much for you. We enjoyed an unexpected sunny weekend morning in October today on the patio. Service was friendly, but slow, as is the norm these days with limited staffing. We were in no hurry, so the pace of service was fine. We had the biscuits and gravy, and the eggs Benedict. Both were very nicely done, but we have had better in other places. The gravy was a little bland, and the poached eggs were poached too long so that the yolks weren't runny. It made the Benedict a little dry. But we would definitely return to try the banana French toast, of which they were sold out of today. read more

This is a great location. It's close to downtown but set aside from the hustle and has their own parking lot. We went to a group dinner here in a banquet room. The service by the waiters and bartender were great. They were very friendly and attentive. Our salad -pear and pomegranate with mixed greens was really tasty. The dressing was delicious. But this is where the dinner went down hill. The Prime rib was all one doneness- well done. If you're a prime rib eater you know most people do not want their prime rib well done. It was also very thin. It came with casserole potatoes and Brussels sprouts. We also had hasellback chicken breast paired with the same sides. It was just very underwhelming. The caliber of food just did not match the prices. As I said, the servers were all great, but I do feel the food could be stepped up. read more

Came here tonight to celebrate my graduation from gonzaga. I came here with my parents and my girlfriend, and given the reviews we expected to have a nice simple meal together. When we were seated and after we put in our order with our server, we waited about 45 min until our first starter course came to the table. The salmon cakes weren't very appetizing and was warm. Took another 10min for our main courses to arrive, and they were WARM. Not cold, not hot, room temperature warm. It was as if they had the food sitting at the window for too long. My mom and I ordered the flatiron steak, my dad got the ribeye, and my girlfriend got the shrimp pasta. Our fries that came with the flatiron came in a greasy PLASTIC BAG, like it would from INO burger or a Five Guys. The steak was cooked to the right temp but I literally placed my finger on the steak and it just wasn't hot. My dad's mashed potatoes that came with the ribeye wasn't creamy or anything special. My mom didn't even finish her plate. We were not about to send the food back since it already took 1 hour since we put in an order to hit the table. Ideally, the food gets cooked and passed from the chef(s), to the person sending out the food, the server who is dropping the food off. It sucks to know they missed us. A table of four that they refused to sit at the patio because "only tables of 3-4 can only be seated outside." Funny thing about that is that we saw tables of 6+ seated outside when we sat from our table next to the host stand. Looking at the price point of the menu, it shouldn't be hard to cook and serve good food. We came from San Francisco so there is a chance that we are being mildly critical but at the same time, it's not hard to make sure the food and service is paid attention to. read more

I have a new addiction. It's the Osprey drive through BBQ. During this COVID quarantine, I have been aching to get out of the house. Driving down division street and smelling that sweet BBQ smell, we had to pull in. This was 2 weeks ago and I've been back about 4 times since. The BBQ is AMAZING. The ribs have been perfect every time we order, the brisket and chicken has been perfectly cooked as well and, the smoke flavor is just right. We have never been disappointed. The potato salad is homemade and DELICIOUS. I wasn't a huge fan of the baked beans, the spices in it the first time we ordered just didn't taste right... we will go back in Monday and get the Cole slaw and hopefully the sausage. The prices are VERY reasonable for quality bbq. The portions are huge. I really hope Osprey keeps this around after the quarantine... we will be BBQ customers for life! read more

I am very very happy with the Osprey. I think they are wonderful and it is MY spot. Meeting for business, Osprey. Happy hour with friends, Osprey. Date Night? Osprey. Lonely lunches alone, for sure Osprey. The fact that the renovations made it such a hip spot really makes me happy. You can overlook the river, and they have fireplaces and even more magic. I cannot wait until patio season. The vibes inside are so chic that I love suggesting it to people who have never been. It's inviting and classy all at the same time. Cozy booths, amazing servers - shoutout to Destiny who has helped me and my crazy antics more than a few times. Since, we all know how to party. The Osprey signature cocktail is yummy. Give me anything with champagne and I am a happy girl. The happy hour menu gives me life. I love happy hour so so much and they are in attempt to become the best happy hour in Spokane and are doing a magnificent job. The wings, the fries, it is all heaven. The lunch menu is on point too. I missed a shrimp po boy and avocado fries last week for a special and I am still craving the unknown. What a special place to me. To have a favorite spot that I can share with anyone. See you Friday night, O. read more

This was a lifetime first for me in the restaurant world. Came in earlier in the day to make a reservation for a 4-top. Hostess was super nice. She noted that reservations for outside seating were not possible, so we just made a regular dinner reservation. When we arrived later in the evening for reservation we asked for an outside table away from the live music. We identified a 4-top away from music but hostess said that would overwhelm the server. We protested but hostess insisted, so we sat in an inferior table next to the music away from the river. Then, literally one minute later the hostess seats two people at the 4-top we had requested. What????????? Annoyed, we get up and move to another table away from music. She says we can't sit there because it's a 3-top and that we must return to hostess stand, presumably to get back into the automated seating queue. I ask to speak to manager and hostess says manager will tell me the exact same thing. So we left. I'm sympathetic to not wanting to overwhelm servers in desirable seating areas, but those issues are always dealt with internally by management. read more
