   As we tell anyone who will listen 😉, Ruins is our favorite restaurant. We’d never had brunch there, though, and we weren’t disappointed. My Lyonnaise omelette, and Wayne’s meatloaf and eggs…absolutely delicious!

   The food was amazing. We had a family dinner and they put us in the banquet area which was quiet and allowed us to enjoy each other’s company. The service was great. We will come back the next time we are in Spokane. We highly recommend Ruins.

   The cocktails and food was wonderful, service top-notch. I believe there are only two people working between the bar and dining room, but they were well organized and killing it!

   The food was incredible, drinks were lovely. Unfortunately the service was oddly very slow - seemed like they were understaffed.

    3 out of 4 thought the food was overly seasoned and priced. Normally I would be understanding if the place were either slammed or new. This was not a factor during our visit, it was calm and well established business.

    It was brunch. Wife’s Benedict showed up with her eggs cooked incorrectly, then on the do over it came missing 2 of the 4 items that went on the focaccia. We flagged down server and she informed us that the kitchen told her that they had missed it. We asked for missing 2 ingredients and only received one. I had the hash. It was good. Bloody Mary was bland. I kind of expected a lot more seasonings. We live out of town and looked forward to this place that’s been on triple D.

    We started off with the curry flatbread and whipped feta and a side of asparagus, both were fabulous. Our meals arrived and we dug in with lots of comments of what is in this, the flavors were a surprise, we all loved our meals and would definitely recommend Ruins.

    Taste wise, was something off in each of our dishes from salads to dessert. Too salty on salads, pickled mushrooms in risotto too sour for flavor, salsa in bolognese too strange, and even citrus sorbet lacked citrus flavor, “tasted like ice” my daughter said The waiter who was supposed to help our waitress served desserts without clearing entrees- even waitress asked if my daughter didn’t like pasta, which she confirmed, and proceeded to leave on table to point where I bussed table putting dishes on bench😔

    Ruins is putting out some of the BEST food in town. A beautiful new modern space, with innovative flavors, beautiful presentation and lovely service. OH, and cocktails are divine. It makes sense that Chef Tony Brown and Ruins in Spokane is featured on not one, but TWO of Guy Fieri food shows and has been nominated for a James Beard award. Well deserved.

    Choosing what to eat at Ruins can seem difficult because everything sounds delicious, but don’t fret. Whatever you order will be expertly prepared, seasoned to perfection, comforting, and fresh. Enjoy!

    First time in this restaurant. We decided to give it a try during Restaurant Week. The chicken on the cassoulet was almost perfectly cooked- the skin was too salty which overpowered the rest of the dish for me. My husband liked it though. The beet salad was devoured and the sausage rolls were delicious! Service is great- Crystal made the best old fashion! Ambiance is rustic and homey.

    Last night was our first visit and we’ll be back! Very imaginative and yummy menu! We could hardly choose what to get and ended up sharing two starters, an entree and dessert. Literally the only thing I’d change was the cold draft that hit us every time someone came or left through the front door.

    Outstanding! We traveled to Spokane to try Ruins and we were not disappointed. Special kudos for the beet and citrus salad (with the doll up of whipped blue cheese), the sausage rolls, and the perfect crispy skin porchetta. Generous portions, attractive presentation, nice cocktails, and a small but nicely priced wine list. We will be back!

    After much debate, I went with the meatloaf. I think part of me does this just to see if it ends up being like your mom's basic loaf. IT. WAS. NOT. I was happily surprised by the myriad of flavors in the dish that both stood out on their own and played very nicely with the others. The focaccia appetizer was presented in a way I've never seen and was very tasty; as was the lemon dessert. The drinks were a great treat and the server did awesome working the floor solo. I would never have guessed it was her first night if she hadn't mentioned in casual conversation with our table.
