I rarely take the time to write reviews because I am seldomly impressed these days, but after our dinner tonight I knew I needed to sing Gander and Ryegrass’ praises! First time dining with them celebrating my husband and my anniversary. Everything we ordered was DELICIOUS! The flavors the plating, the service was all so wonderful. We really enjoyed having some non-alcohol options like their homemade sodas, what a fun treat. Dessert was light but a perfect ending to the meal. Cannot wait to dine here again!

We had such a wonderful experience here..unforgettable really. Our waitress was wonderful. So friendly, chatty, helpful, and attentive. We did the marathon tasting menu. It was fun to try lots of new things. It was also very cool to have some dishes brought out by the chef that made them. They take pride in what they do and we felt and tasted that. It was a special birthday celebration that we won't forget. Thank you for a memorable experience.

While staying in Spokane, a colleague recommended that I have dinner at this restaurant. I decided to visit on my own, and I'm glad I did — the interior is beautifully lit with natural light and has a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. I was initially seated at the bar, but I would have preferred to sit at a table. It would be nice if solo diners had the option to choose a table as well. That said, the woman who assisted me was very pleasant and explained the menu clearly. I ordered the fresh oysters and the Campanelle. The food was delicious, especially the oysters, which were fresh and flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance and the attentive service. Next time, I’d love to come back with a friend and enjoy a longer, more relaxed meal.

Our server, Anika was absolutely amazing. All of our food was beautifully served and tasted amazing. We enjoyed not being rushed and truly had the best time. Also try the “Orange Gold” wine, it’s lovely! Thank you!

We have been coming here for years. Always amazing service and we love the pasta and food. Not sure about the price for the side of bread for two slices, we didn't think it was worth it however we've done the chefs marathon 5 times and it's worth it. Fresh herbs, daily made pasta, and clear conscious decisions with food pairing. Worth every penny for the meals and marathons. Great date or anniversary place!

The food was excellent! Every dish but one, which was remade bc of super under cooked pasta. The servers were very personable, the drink cart was very fun, and the caviar tasting was unique. Stumbled upon this place en route to a race, glad we could snag a table. We’ll be back!

My wife and I enjoyed the most amazing culinary dinner experience for our anniversary with the marsthon that I would say is the best culinary ive experienced to date. Every plate chef Paul crafted was out of this world and truly allowed my wife and I to enjoy bites and flavors we had previously never enjoyed. Daniel's service was unmatched and we appreciated his attentiveness to our needs. Greg is a master at his craft. The top sommelier experience we've had. My wife enjoyed every wine pairing and even wines she thought she wouldn't enjoy opened her up to a whole world of flavors. His history and pairing lessons are so unique and intriguing. I'm thankful Megan also stopped by our table and shared their new whiskey selections as I was able to try one of a kind limited release whiskeys with my meal. Thank you to the entire team at Gander and Ryegrass for a one of a kind experience that we won't forget.

This place is an absolute must!! I was super impressed with the charming decor and feel of the restaurant and the plating of the dishes is really marvelous! Also LOVED how bright it is in there with such large windows facing Main Street. We tried the Zucchini app from dinner which was extremely refreshing!! We also had the Charred beef sandwich for lunch, Arugula Salad, and Pappardelle Pasta! The menu is quite small, so it seems like it is rotated, which is exciting! We can’t wait to come back for dinner service!!! The Chef’s “Marathon & 3-course beverage pairing” on the menu is super enticing!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
