Ruins Restaurant,

225 W Riverside Ave, Spokane, WA 99201, United States

"Not a big "leave a review" type of feller but holy smokes - this place is fabulous. The food was incredible. After reading about Chef Tony Brown's James Beard nomination in the Spokesman review, I knew I wanted to take my folks here when they visited and it absolutely didn't disappoint. Do yourself a favor and take an uber so you can enjoy the great craft cocktails."

"A variety of delicious dishes to choose from, nice presentation, & a friendly and helpful staff! I went with the autumn seasonal dishes and tried the Turkey Roulade and had some homemade maple apple ice cream. I recommend checking out Ruins next time you’re downtown Spokane."

"The food was amazing. The wait staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the waitress Allison was fabulous! The restaurant is lovely and beautiful!"

"Ruins truly exceeded my expectations with their delectable offerings. The steak was perfectly cooked to a mouthwatering medium-rare, boasting a tender and juicy texture that left me craving for more. The Brussels sprouts, a surprising delight, were expertly seasoned and roasted to a crispy perfection, providing a delightful contrast to the main course."

"First time customer at Ruins and it didn’t disappoint! If you’re planning on dining here, make sure to set up a reservation. We got lucky tonight and they were able to squeeze us in, counting the kids (both under 3 years old) as adults for gratuity. I’ve heard that the menu changes frequently and the food didn’t disappoint, but I was bummed I didn’t make it for their famous fries or burgers. The servers were all incredible and extremely friendly. I applaud their attention and kindness! The location is in the perfect spot in downtown Spokane. Make sure you bring change or a credit card to pay for parking! The restaurant itself was very dim-lit, intimate and decorated very well. I didn’t see / meet the chef’s but hats off to them! Every plate we had was cleared! Overall, Ruins was a wonderful experience. I definitely wouldn’t bring kids here again, but I would come back for a romantic evening or night out solo. They accommodated us with kids, which I appreciate, but it’s just not the place to bring them (no other table had kids and they didn’t have a kids menu, but did offer a high chair and a coloring book which helped)."
