Holy food goodness. Came here after seeing this place raved about in a Facebook foodie group. I was like "eh, let's give it a try". I am so glad we did. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is hands down the best food we've had at a spokane restaurant. We ordered the smoked mozzarella appetizer and it was sooooo flavorful, garlic and Olive oil and smoked mozzarella goodness. I ordered the halibut and my wife ordered the Braised short ribs. Both dishes were spot on with flavor and presentation. The halibut and short ribs literally fell apart just by touching it. So tender and juicy. So damn delicious. We are already planning our next trip back here to try EVERYTHING on the menu. Seriously, I can't stop thinking about how delicious this food was. The service was also magnificent. If I could give this place 10 stars, I so would! read more

Our server Dan was amazing and attentive. We started with sharing the asparagus as an appetizer and it was phenomenal. I had the huckleberry lemonade which came in an adorable glass and tasted perfect with dinner. I ordered the crab topped salmon and it was amazing. The beef short ribs were amazing as well. Pictures attached of the yummy dinner. We ate the asparagus too quickly for a photo. And finished with a margarita pie that was delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Saw the reviews and now we know why they are so good. We didn't have reservations on a Friday night but went around 5 and got seated right away at a table in the bar. Dan the bartender served us and made a wine recommendation that we both enjoyed. My husband had the chicken and mushroom ravioli with cream sauce. It was both delicious and filling. I had the salmon with crab which was also tasty and filling. We boxed half so we could try the mud pie dessert which we heard good things about. It was a huge serving and we scraped the plate. People kept coming in the whole time we were there and the place was packed by the time we left. Definitely will return and bring friends. read more

I can see why this place is popular! Located downtown (good luck finding parking) they did a nice job with the building leaving exposed brick on the walls and high ceilings. Soft music playing and not too loud so good conversation can flow! I received a warm greeting as I entered and my server was very friendly. Started with a cup of chicken jalapeño and cheddar soup. It came in a VERY SMALL cup! The soup had nice flavor to it but had a lot of pepper in it (that was not needed). For my meal I ordered the short ribs. It was basically a pot roast with a yummy wine reduction sauce. The meat was too try and I used all the sauce to help it. Almost asked for more sauce but didn't! This dish was garnished with lots of WHOLE peppercorns and after taking a bite with them in it had to pick them out of the dish with my hands. Not good! I should have stopped here but orders the mud pie for dessert. The mocha ice cream was good but they put HUGE chunks of frozen fudge randomly inside and it resulted in getting bites of just the frozen fudge. It had low quality chocolate chips on top that they could have left off. Nice meal that was good but not great, and after tip I spent $77 (water to drink) and for $77 I want a GREAT MEAL, which they just didn't provide. Won't be back. read more

The mix of amazing service, impeccable food, and a great setting sets this place apart from others. I've seen Michael Wiley pouring his love into the Spokane food scene all over social media, and getting to experience a dinner service here was a treat. I had high expectations, and they were blown away. I will be back and will support any venture this man sets his mind to! read more

Just go! You will not be disappointed! Mushroom risotto is the most delicious side! Please try it!

Went here tonight for my anniversary! It was excellent. The atmosphere is intimate, kinda dark, definitely not a huge place. We ordered the jalapeño creamy chicken soup, it was sooooo so so good. I wish the serving was bigger, I could have eaten 3 cups of it. Definitely gotta try it!! The brut rosé was very crisp. I loved it. For the main course, we ordered the chicken bacon mushroom ravioli and the short rib. The ravioli stole the show, it was 10/10. The sauce was amazing, lots of chicken. You have to try it. The short rib, on the other hand, was good don't get me wrong... but just wasn't as ~ elevated ~ It was maybe a little over cooked, still very good though. We finished it! Just didn't have the wow factor like the soup and ravioli. I wish I had tried the halibut that was on special tonight. Our table neighbors had ordered it and it looked delicious!! Overall, highly recommend this restaurant!! I will be back. read more

Wiley's Downtown Bistro - potstickers - New American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Wileys does not disappoint!! If you are a X2 on a date, get whatever both specials are and share! Your tastebuds will sing!

On a Tuesday night my boyfriend and I walked into this cozy establishment, ready to devour half the menu. The space feels like a miniature art exhibit and the menu supports this impression that the whole experience is meant to be elevated and classy. It does all this while still feeling home-y. "Bistro" is an accurate description for this place. Restaurant week was in full swing and we had to wait a while for our reservation date since it had been all booked up for the week. While our reservation day agonizingly approached, I would eye the menu continuously for those 2 weeks and my mouth would water each time I would skim it over and envision what each dish would taste like. So when we were greeted by Mikayla who was just as warm as the space was, I was ready to order and had no questions! We started with an ahi tower and a crab puff. The ahi tower was just okay. It had overpowering amounts of wasabi and while the ahi was tender, it lacked in flavor. The dish was refreshing, but nearly every bite felt like a rude and painful awakening every time the wasabi would assault our sinuses. It doesn't help that it's an expensive starter. We definitely preferred the crab puff which was warm, flaky, and creamy. It was so good, we contemplated getting another but decided against it in order to save room for the other dishes. The special soup of the night was a carrot Fuji apple coconut curry which was really unique. I really appreciated how willing the chef was to push boundaries with experimenting and this dish is a great example of that. While my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed the soup, and I do agree that it was such a great flavor journey, it boiled down to what I imagine baby food puree would taste like. Throughout the starters, I sipped on a total of two French Martinis which were Mikayla's recommendations. I couldn't thank her enough! They were delicious and I couldn't taste the alcohol at all, yet I felt warm and fuzzy the entire time we waited for our entrees till way after we left the restaurant. We ordered the duck confit and medium cooked sirloin Wellington as our main courses. The presentation was absolutely beautiful for both dishes. The duck confit was a little salty for my liking but the Wellington was delicious. The puff pastry was cooked just right and the beef itself was tender and juicy. The side pairings of mashed potatoes and vegetables with the cranberry wine reduction took this dish to a whole new level. I felt like I was experiencing a story through food! I would highly recommend trying this and wish that I had this experience with all the dishes. We settled with sharing a creme brûlée which was a classic safe bet for us. The torched top was partially covered with caramel and hadn't completely hardened, but I was surprised that I preferred this over a classic brûlée. So after weeks waiting for our reservation date and staring hungrily at the menu on my phone, did Wiley's live up to my expectations? Sadly no, but I also can't exactly blame them when my "expectations" were more like wild fantasies at that point. Still, everything was delicious--just lacking that "WOW" factor. I think that it's the ambience, attentive and warm service, occasional experimental food item, and delicious drinks that make this place shine and made our bill hurt a little less. Overall, I would still come back to Wiley's to give them another shot and try different menu items in hopes that I feel consistently amazed through each course. I'd also come back just to have drinks and enjoy the ambiance of the place. One last note: we parked right across the street using a "call to park" lot and paid about $8 for two hours. This was the perfect amount of time to dine for us and I wouldn't recommend saving a spot for less time. Be prepared to have an account with Call to Park and have the app or website pulled up to pay. Otherwise, there is street parking, but we couldn't find an open stall otherwise we wouldn't have paid to park. read more

There's nothing pretentious about Wiley's Downtown Bistro. And before you think it's boujee, I'll tell you that when you finish your meal you'll feel more like you had a home cooked dinner than an over conceptualized plate. The interior itself is understated and could be updated. The orange peel texture on the wall, drop ceilings, and the lazily applied black paint over the vent hood doesn't scream high class. The picture frames aren't hung correctly either. Minor details, but the lighting, the bar displayed as a centerpiece and decently high ceilings still make you feel like your treating yourself to something special. The price is relatively high for the meal and simple plating, but top notch execution and high quality cuts and ingredients make the cost acceptable, bordering on a value deal. I had the $45 3 course meal and that definitely makes this a value. The friendly service absolutely aids here too. I started with -The jalapeno chicken soup- It's loaded with flavor and had a good kick of spiciness. The consistency was thick and held together well. It was a lot all at once, but once I got to the chicken pieces it balanced out the spices well. 7.9/10 For my main I had the -Braised short rib with mashed Yukon potatoes- This dish was very good. It's the home cooked hearty meal you wish your mother could make. While the center of the rib was just bareeeely dry, the crust was delicate and consistent and held in most of the moisture. The reduction worked well but wasn't the best part of the plate. The best part was the fat. Oh man was that good. And there was the exact right amount of it. Rendered to perfection, not a piece left on my plate. The potatoes were not ordinary either. Green onion, herbs and cheese melted on top of a sort of formed potato cake. I enjoyed the flavors but they could have committed a little more and made it really pop. Rib 8.3/10. Potatoes 7.7/10 I finished with the -Margarita pie- this was really excellent. It's a keylime pie. The filling set and has more of a thick custard texture than it's heavily gelatinous relatives. I loved that the filling had a moderate sweetness and wasn't shy on the tartness. I particularly like my keylime pies tart. This wasn't quite there, BUT the lime sauce drizzled on the dish let's the consumer decide how much of a zing they desire. Well designed and perfectly executed. Crust was a non factor, so overall it gets a 8.9 I could have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't at the price point that it is. It's competing against some really excellent, niche, restaurants that have honed in on the details just a bit more. But these people know what they are doing and are experts at their craft. From the food, the cooks to the wait staff, I had a great time and I think you will too. read more

Amazing food. Incredible service. So incredibly grateful to have a restaurant of this quality in Spokane!

Highly highly recommend giving this place a try! It is phenomenal! Everything is delicious and the staff is accommodating and amazing! The environment is so warm and inviting! I highly recommend starting with dessert or making for absolute certain you save room for dessert!! We eat family style where we all order different things and pass the plates so we can all try a variety of options! Everything was amazing! The mud pie was to die for!!!! It was beyond everything I could have imagined. The crunchy cookie part was a perfect pairing to the hot Aztec fudge and the espresso ice cream really set it off! If you don't get anything else you have to at least get the mud pie! read more

Cozy downtown bistro with a friendly vibe. Amazing menu. Beautiful food presentation. Creative cocktails. Don't miss Wiley's when visiting Spokane! Best in town! Shout out to our outstanding server, Mikayla! She was amazing! Friendly, efficient, anticipated our needs without hovering. My son made the reservation for my birthday based on the great reviews after due consideration. Great choice. Just happened to be during Restaurant Week where we could have gotten 3 great courses, but hey, it was my birthday, so, of course, I had to try the ahi tower to start. Fabulous! The three of us demolished it in a flash. Then on to the Beef Wellington which I'd not had before but wanted to try based on the reviews. Mikayla was helpful here as to the "doneness" I wanted. Also fabulous. Others at the table had the shrimp Louie and the Wagyu top sirloin. All amazing. Don't miss the creative cocktails. I had to try the huckleberry lemonade. Delicious! read more

I was in town for my union convention and, as the food and beverage person for my delegation (self-appointed) I looked into Wiley's and knew we had to visit. Since dinner breaks aren't long and we were on foot Wiley's location close to the convention center was a plus. Our dinner break was early and we go to Wiley's while it was mostly empty. It filled up! I was with a group of four who love good food and also like to share! We started with a baked brie dish with lots of drizzle to scoop up and it was lovely. The thinly sliced apple was a great accompaniment to this dish. I shared a crab topped salmon dish with a friend that was truly special! It was perfectly cooked and piled on a risotto cake with drizzles and lots of crunchy toppings. The split the dish for us and plated both beautifully! A friend had the blackened prawns with raspberry chili and rice cake... The Brussels sprouts salad was a revelation with thinly sliced crispy crunchy sprouts and crunchy toppings. I would go back just for this. We also had some great grilled asparagus with balsamic drizzle and some great wine. The local art for sale on the walls is great and we finished up sharing a mud slide dessert that was just about more than the four of us could finish. We definitely did finish it though. We all loved the restroom signs. This is the kind of local, quirky, fantastic and enthusiastic place that we love to go to when we visit other places for our conventions! read more

I booked a reservation at Wiley's after reading great reviews and didn't realize it was only 1 block from the Davenport Grand where we were staying! The space is small - tables tight, so know that coming in... But the food makes it 100% worth it... soup of the day was amazing- perfect blend of flavor and spice... the Wedge Salad? Licking our plate... we then shared the Short Ribs as our main and enjoyed every bite! No room for dessert, so no comment there! We will be back at our next Spokane / Davenport stay... read more

I've been here a few times now and I love it more all the time!! First time was dinner and today we had the baked brie and French Dip with fresh pea salad and it was incredible! Had a cocktail, I've think it was dark and stormy(?) and it's my new favorite go to cocktail! read more

This is a delightful spot for truly great food. Somewhat intimate atmosphere and very, very good service. My wife really enjoyed her short ribs. Our server said if they had a signature dish, the short ribs would be it. My wife said they were rich and delicious. I enjoyed a steak with shrimp skewers. My steak was done precisely as I had ordered it. We will be back the next time we are in the area. Highly recommended. read more

Wonderful dinner with friends at Wiley's. Started with beverages and app's. My choice was the house Manhattan called the Wiley's. We shared two great appetizers, the baked with hazelnuts and a balsamic reduction followed by an Ahi Tower with sashimi yellowfin and a wasabi aioli. My choice for dinner was the crab topped salmon with risotto cake. Great meal, planning our next trip. read more

I love Wiley's! Great customer service, beautiful space and the food is amazing! The people are kind and make it easy to just walk in.

I had high expectations for this meal, but they were not met. We were there on a very non-crowded night- they were not even half full and the guests were staggered in arrival. The servers were friendly and prompt, but we placed our cocktail order and waited and waited - then our salad course arrived and we ate that - still no drinks. The gal apologized for the delay when she dropped them off just before our mains came out, saying she is just learning the whole bar thing (also gave me no confidence that my drink was correctly mixed) -but there was no reason this should have happened, since they were not busy. She missed an upsale to actually serve us a second drink with our main dish. The blackberry bramble drink had two completely tasteless blackberries as a garnish, which is a bummer. The old fashioned was nice. Main dishes - the beef spareribs were good the side of potatoes and green beans very good. The salmon and crab - hmmm, not great, not much taste and not enough sauce to help out on taste. The asparagus was dry and coated with something kind of gritty - pretty plate presentation didn't make up for a disappointing $38 dish. We passed on dessert as we had other plans. I know they went to great lengths to accommodate another dinner who had dairy intolerance, which was nice to see. Atmosphere felt a bit too minimalist for my taste. The overall experience was not 5 star worthy. read more

The appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinks were amazing. The staff was on point. We had a great experience tonight

Knew this place was related to Ptohibition Gastro Pub and had a couple good experiences there. Restaurant is in a great spot in Downtown Spokane and is super cute. Thought we were in for a poor lunch experience as one server was serving +/- 20 people but she was great. Food is very good. I had the shrimp sandwich with pea salad and it was very good. Son in law had a pulled pork sandwich that I believe had the meat flash fried, and it was also very good. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

I have three favorite restaurants in town. They all hit the mark of being expensive. I usually go for lunch and have the wait staff be friendly and fun. Now it would be nice if the serving were 20% larger. The food is so good you just want a little more to eat. read more

Downtown. Nice vibe. Street parking. Vibe okay. Food is great!!! Have the sushi grade salmon tower. Wiley is an amazing chef.

Food was great but the wait was terrible!! We had a reservation for our group of 8, so I assumed that meant they could accommodate properly. The reservation was at 5:30, which we were slightly early to. We ordered fairly quickly, however we didn't get our food until a few minutes after 7pm!!! The food and drinks were great and the server was very attentive. However, I wouldn't suggest going here if you don't have 2+ hours. read more

Rolled into Spokane for a business lunch. The guy I was meeting recommended Wiley's because he knows I like burgers. Not sure I would try another place in town knowing the Ultimate Double Bacon was within reach. It was seriously that good. Since I had time to kill, I took advantage of sone cool bourbon they had available. I think bourbon & burgers could be a thing. Lastly, props to the service.
