Wild Sage American Bistro

Spokane

About the restaurant

Opened in 2006, the first thing you'll experience at Wild Sage American Bistro is the rich earth tones and classic architectural details that make our bistro both relaxing and refined. Walls of windows saturate our interior space with abundant natural light during the day and provide an intimate atmosphere at night. You'll find our three dining areas allow for conversations to flow comfortably yet privately for a wonderful dining experience.
We have designed a menu that allows us to be creative on a daily basis, and work within the limits of what is in season and available. We are always looking for unique ingredients to highlight. Local beef, regional fresh fish, local gardens, heirloom vegetables fruits and tomatoes. We describe our style as “Regionally Sourced Northwest Cuisine”. It just makes sense using local ingredients at the peak of their quality and freshness.

The drinks were amazing. The food was fantastic. I would skip the the rack of lamb. Very little meat and the huge piece of under cooked broccoli with zero seasoning doesn't make up for the tiny portion. I've actually never had such a small rack.

About the restaurant

Churchill's is truly one of the country's great steakhouses. It is one of only a handful of steakhouses that exclusively serves 100% USDA Prime beef from midwestern, corn fed cattle. Our beef is dry-aged and meticulously handled by our expert team. The steaks are then cooked in a custom made, top heated, radiant broiler at temperatures of 1,800 to 2,200 degrees sealing in the savory juices.

Churchill's impressive menu includes USDA Prime domestic Lamb Chops, Duroc Pork Chops, fresh fish and shellfish and other seasonal seafood offerings such as Copper River Salmon.

Our bakery turns out fresh baked dinner rolls daily along with a variety of home made cakes and desserts. First timers must try our famous "Chocolate Sack".

Our lively cocktail lounge, located in the lower level, has an elegant yet casual atmosphere.

Overall our experience was amazing. We were a group of four and we shared our entrees family style. It worked out really well allowing us to try multiple dishes. My only negative thought would be that the portion sizes are not very large. If we didn’t eat family style I would’ve had to order a couple entrees. Food was delicious and service was amazing. Definitely be going back

We Come to You Straight from Brazil. Bringing Traditional Dishes from Our Native Country.
