The trifecta. Good service, good food, good bar. We visited during restaurant week and from the beginning we were impressed with the confidence. Holy giant face. The way they highlighted the ingredients and meals was outstanding. So healthy and so amazing. It’s too amazing to explain. Sam was an amazing server.

Fast service. Food was delicious. Caesar salad was better than any in recent memories. Love how the croutons of bread and cheese are smaller and spread through out so each bite has a crunch. Cheese was pleasant surprise with the crunch. Ribeye was cooked perfectly. Large portion. I dont usually like mashed potatoes but these were great as it soaked up all the flavor from the steak. Delicious.

Happy Hour must not be the time to come to this place on a Saturday. This place was nearly empty and the service was so slow. Must have been short staffed because we had to go get the bartender’s attention a couple times when we needed something. The options were not great on a crumpled up paper menu. There weren’t great appetizers at all on the menu. The dishes sounded interesting and three of us decided on the meatball and pasta dish. I was not a fan as my meatballs were burnt. The service was so slow! The table adjacent to us sat dirty the entire time and a spider even crawled out behind my jacket on the bench seat near the window. Not a great experience for us that’s for sure.

Years ago, a partner made me promise to let them be the first to take me to Ruins. I found this request hilarious, but indeed merited, as I certainly have earned a reputation for “getting around…” the local food scene, that is! I happily made that promise. Shit got weird. There was even a whole pandemic wreaking havoc on the food scene! We never made it to Ruins before our relationship ended.
I broke my promise yesterday! Ruins is now open in a beautiful location in Kendall Yards. I had no problems with parking. It felt safe and beautiful and clean… all those positive aspects of gentrification! Are we even in Spokane? Pinkies out, people.
We arrived about 20 minutes prior to dinner service… first ones there! It didn’t take long for the patio outside the entrance to fill up with folks ready to order from their renowned rotating menu. I didn’t have a reservation! Would I get in? Was that old promise a curse? Haha! I got in. No reservation. I’m here to break promises.
The waitstaff were all adorable… Tattooed and super cool vibes all around. Service was personable and attentive and laid back. Relax those pinkies, friends! I loved the atmosphere. Throughout dinner, you could hear the bartender preparing drinks with rhythm and style… the sounds of that shaker was quite honestly dope as hell. Maybe he’s a musician? Rock on man. Well done. I’m amongst my people. The music overhead was amazing, throwback to 80s and 90s. NuShooz. Chaka Khan. Michael Jackson.
Last night’s menu. Perfection. There were gluten-free and vegetarian options. I remember this was my old partner’s favorite thing about Ruins. The menu rotates, so the adventure is always there, as were vegetarian options.
We shared the Whipped Feta and Flatbread as a starter. The plating was fun with the flatbread standing high in a cone on the plate. This was clearly made in-house, fresh, doused in some kind of lightly seasoned crack… perhaps ghee? The feta was beaten into submission, fully aware of its fate to be devoured. Cool, refreshing cucumber and tangy, zippy marinated red onions were the perfect accompaniment to the crackbread and feta. This shit could be habit-forming!
I ordered the duck. Because I don’t want to have to cook duck for myself. If it’s on the menu somewhere reputable, I want my fork in it. It. Was. Divine. Those cherries will punch you right in the palate. Are they pickled? They were a respectful send-off for that duck’s final destination into my belly, along with perfectly creamy polenta, green beans, and arugula dressed in something royal. Fresno relish… total zinger with a ping of mild sweet heat and a tinge of smokiness. This plate was a 10/10. Didn’t even need a speck of extra salt!
My friend ordered the pappardelle… cooked to perfection, wide-cut, thin ribbons. Sauced up in a roasted tomato and fennel ragu, basil and parm… crowned with a burrata blob and pork meatballs that tasted like homemade sausage. Delectable dish, all the way around.
Listen. Some promises merit breaking… “Ruin~ing,” if you will. This was one of them! I fully intend to break this promise on rotation with their next menu creation. Honestly, I’m stopping myself from heading up there for brunch right now! They serve brunch, people!
Pro-tip: Go to Instagram to see their current menu if you’re the kind of person that needs to know their offerings ahead of time. My advice though, JUST GO! There’s something for everyone on that menu. Visit their website to read about how awesome they are for our community, too.

Service was okay, pasta was delicious. I asked for bread with my pasta, just looking at it I knew it was burnt! It wasn’t busy at all during lunch ( I was the only one sitting)so why would you send this out??? Disappointing.

I have been going to Ruins for years and I love the new location in Kendal Yards. We chose Ruins for our holiday dinner for work and Tony was amazing to work with. He created a 3 course menu just for our group and not one person was disappointed. The service is always great, the dirty fries is always a hit. The food/menu is elevated, it’s always changing. The Caesar salad and Pappardelle is a fave! This place is incredible. If you haven’t been you’re missing out.

let’s start with the good things. AMAZING food. my party and i all enjoyed our food, one can tell it was created with care and attention. they had perfect accomodations for an allergy in my group, and they had a wide selection of food and drinks. the music played in the establishment was also very good. unfortunately, the service is horrible. my grandmother’s food was taken to a different table by an incompetent waiter, and it took another twenty minutes to get another over to her. our server was quiet and slightly dismissive. there were only 3 other groups in this restaurant, and yet it still took what seemed like forever for our server to come and take our orders, then later to take plates. he never once came back to check in with us to see how things were going. on top of everything, it took a total of ONE HOUR to get our food out of the kitchen. anyways, come to this spot if you want good food, but not for anything else.

Always good here. Menu changes a lot so that’s why you can’t really find one online but they always have some of the same staples. Always have a few vegetarian options which is great. Cocktails are good too. Use whatever local ingredients they have. Make a reservation online! I hear lunch is good too but haven’t been.

Simple but tasty food with good presentation. The vegetables and greens are fresh and tasty. The fish dishes can be enriched with higher quality fish, like salmon and halibut. The price is reasonable for the caliber of the place. The chef should take pride, everything was delicious. The location is hard to notice as there is only a small sign on the window. The reservations is highly encouraged, there is only limited amount of space.

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).
