Sadly, no guacamole this time :( The service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the bartender was fantastic I'd definitely come back just to see him again!

Went for New Year's Eve (had a 6:30 reservation). We ordered appetizers (which were good), but the…read morechips that came were basically crumbs (not big enough to scoop the salsa). We waited patiently for about 30 minutes for a server to come, but no luck. Finally after an hour someone came to check on us and we ordered another set of appetizers (as we were told the kitchen was backed up). Just when we though the wait was over (around 7:45) the meals they brought us were for another table; our meal didn't arrive until after 8:30 (2 hours after our reservation and about 1.5 hours after ordering). The food was luke warm and mediocre at best. If they didn't comp our appetizers (a nice touch given the disaster of events); this would have received 1 star.

Cease & Desist Book Club feels like the kind of place you discover once and immediately want to…read morebring people back to. The whole atmosphere is dark, cozy, moody, and feels more like a hidden lounge than a typical downtown bar. Between the lighting, music, books, and dramatic cocktail menus, the vibe alone makes the place worth visiting. We tried the espresso martini, Painkiller, and Bloody Verde. The espresso martini was smooth and easy to drink without being overly sweet, and the Painkiller had that creamy tropical flavor that somehow still worked with the darker speakeasy atmosphere. Keeping it honest though, the Bloody Verde just wasn't for me personally. I can still appreciate the creativity behind it, but the flavor combo just didn't match my taste buds. That being said, if you like savory spicy cocktails, you'd probably feel very differently about it. Service was friendly, drinks came out looking great, and the music really tied the whole experience together. Definitely feels like one of Spokane's more unique cocktail spots if you want something moodier and more relaxed.

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.
