Ruins

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.

The corned beef and roasted cabbage was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. It’s really refreshing to find restaurants with an inspired chef who can create a knockout menu with a solid foundation of technique. Very original, and very tasty. I hope to be back soon.

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).

The reception was great. Greeted and seated immediately.

Drinks are strong and taste good.

He got the pork shoulder. Said it tasted good, just a small portion.

I ordered the risotto. It tasted ok. But not for the main dish. Was ok with this being a bad decision on my part. Waitress tried to make it right. I chose a wedge salad. It's grilled lettuce. Really!

We were excited to try this place after seeing it featured with Guy Fieri. I feel let down.

Great service. Fun atmosphere. Food - eh. Won't be back.
