The Bad Seed

"I have wanted to try this place for a while, highly recommended by a friend, and I am so glad I finally made it in! This place is one of my absolute favorites. The food is good. But the service and the atmosphere completely knock it out of the park here. I love the lighting and cozy vibe. The bartender took care of us, and she was amazing. Consistently checked on us and was beyond kind. When I asked about the building, she brought over a history guide of all the details, which I was fascinated by. The room is full of beautiful old things. Paintings, books, wood, and antiques everywhere you look. I loved the lit candles at the table and the old-time movie playing on the tv along with the music. I fully plan on trying everything on the menu now simply because of the service and atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable. Don't let the minimal street parking keep you away. Go here! You will love it if you are into a relaxed atmosphere. Have the Queso....it's literally the best I have ever had. Also, I really loved the Birria Tacos, which is absolutely delicious! Side note: the table next to us paid for our dinner. I was so surprised and will look for an opportunity to pay it forward. I love it when Spokane shows its true colors all the way around. The Hillyard restaurants are stepping up their game. I can't wait to visit again."

"Late birthday gift for me.. definitely been on my radar for a year now. This is about to be my favorite home. GREAT food, good service fair prices. You honestly can't beat this. Such a great atmosphere and spectacular mid range priced good (but they could literally charge 4-10 a meal more...EASILY. THIS is a place that watch! ) Try it right now... reservations recommended. This place deserves all the local praise it's been getting. I sense greatness here. For now I'm visiting every dang week. Very soon this will be outside my price range and I won't complain. Sooo good!"

"Great food in a cool old building. (School/library?) Staff was super friendly and the food tasted awesome. Best Mexican I'd had in ages. Street parking only"

"The food was great! A lot of flavor and portions were awesome. The service was not good this night. We did get a lot of apologies, but not sure where the disconnect was. Table not cleaned off from prior customers, no silver until after dinner served, appetizer (chips and salsa) served as an after thought. They did comp the chips. The building is an old public library that has a TON of personality. It's a great little place. We will try it again because the food was geeat"

"I really enjoyed the atmosphere. My friend and I started with chips and queso ($10), then I had the enchiladas ($15) and my buddy had the burrito ($15). The food was good and the service was friendly. The live jazz band was a surprise, so was the $10 cover charge (I’ll probably call ahead next time to see what’s going on)."
