Hear from our valued guests
It was my first time in Spokane and this place was the perfect 1st stop. The vibe is amazing and the food is great. Servers were really experienced and respectful.
We had a lovely table outside with a beautiful view. Our waiter, Sean, was fabulous and added to a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience. He was like chatting with an old friend. Sean, together with the bar staff, gave excellent recommendations for items on the menu. We started with the calamari and artichoke. The two dips with this dish were outstanding. The garlic bread was second to none - the perfect combination of garlic, olive oil and a perfectly textured bread. The Summer Picnic Salad was good, especially the vinegarette but missed something. The prosciutto was dried, not as it is normally served. We didn’t overly care for it. The grilled Alaskan Halibut was flaky, tender and delicious. The lime avocado topping was fairly sparse but the couscous and green beans were tasty. We added mushrooms as a side and they did not disappoint.
Free parking with Validation. We ordered the Cod Fish and Chips. The breading was perfect, not overdone. Made reservations via Open Table& requested window table. It was a magical atmosphere with the Christmas decorations.
I tell ya when I sat down wasn't impressed. The wine glasses had smudges and fingerprints on them. The food we ate Amazing. We had crab artichoke dip (way delicious). Clam chowder and French onion soups, surf n turf and the seafood fettuccine.
Hello, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon!
King Salmon (blackened) with couscous & green beans was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🧯👨🚒🚒🎆🎇 so good! I also had the Key Lime pie which was amazing.
Our food and server was amazing, the host was so accommodating to us even though we were running late for our reservation. The view from the window seating was beautiful. Everyone made it such an experience and it is definitely at stop i will make when traveling to Washington again.
Fam and I have been going here for years. Never disappoints our pallets! This time around I did do the lunch special with chowder for an appetizer, their new dish salmon stuffed with crab and artichoke is definitely a repeat order for me! If you like their crab and artichoke dip appetizer you will enjoy this dish! Kinda felt like I cheated. lol received two dishes in one. Plus their raspberry molten chocolate cake. It was good but not so molten goodness. I like a good oowy gooey middle. This one missed it though. Nevertheless this won’t prevent us from coming again. lol we actually ate there with whole fam after the Lindsey Stirling concert on Saturday too. Between our wonderful service from Tina on Monday and Taylor last Saturday not to mention good ol Mr. Vincent himself. Thank you for serving delicious meals and the ambiance we will be repeat customers for life.
I really enjoyed this place. Very cool old local, interesting decoration, fantastic staff and outstanding food. My partner and I both had the 3 course special. I went with clam chowder, prime rib, and their chocolate cake. My partner had the pea salad, prime rib and key lime pie. Both of us were super happy with our meals and stuffed.
Beautiful restaurant with a wonderful view! We were in town for a conference and decided to try Clinkerdagger after receiving a coupon from our hotel. Not only we enjoyed our lunch, but decided to go back again! The food is good and the menu has quite a few options. The view from the patio is absolutely stunning! If you are in the area, you should definitely check it out! One of the best view in town!
