I had the best lunch my friend visiting. Jared was a our server and he was great. Attentive and knowledgeable and knew when to check in. The oysters were absolute perfection. So fresh and tasty. In honor of Mardi Gras I had a muffaletta that was delicious. Jared made me the best espresso martini in town. I can’t wait to come back!

Went for valentines day and had a wonderful time. The food was super unique and delicious. Everything tasted perfect. My favorites were the smoked scallop, beet crudo, and prime rib. My partners favorites were the oyster rockefeller and the pasta with mushrooms(forgot the name). The wait staff were all very attentive, funny and kind. We had a bit of a wait for our reservation and were offered complimentary wine while we sat which was nice! Definitely worth the money to do the marathon its a unique and exciting experience. We weren’t expecting it to be quite that much as i dont think there was any info on the valentines marathon price online but im gonna try to ignore the cost and just be happy that i had such a fun experience for valentines day. They had candles all around offering some ambient lighting though it did make taking photos of the food a bit ugly haha. At the end for the valentines thing they wrapped up some flowers and gave us commemorative menus of everything we tried. Will definitely be back once i make more money:)

Had The Marathon. Every plate was visually pleasing, every bite thoughtfully crafted. It was a really great meal.

I was told it’s a lot of food, so we didn’t eat all day. I left absolutely STUFFED. The variety was impressive. I think we had around 12 plates of different food, ranging in size from small bites to full plates.

I suggest the Bad Witch as a drink! I had 2 and my boyfriend ended up ordering 2 after having a sip of mine.

Every server that helped us was funny, easy to talk to, and knowledgeable on the food we were eating. For a special celebration, this was exactly what we were looking for. Worth every penny.

My only complaint, and it’s small, is they brought the first 4 courses out very quickly one after another. The remaining courses were spread out more. Our total meal time was about 2 hrs.

Easily one of the best (if not the best) dining experiences I’ve had. My wife and I ordered the marathon, which was a eclectic collection of unique and interesting flavors start to finish. A carrot salad with honeycomb and a blue-cheese/cheddar hybrid stuck out to me, along with a creamy cod fritter as one of the opening bites. Our server, who happened to also be the sommelier, was extremely knowledgeable on the menu from top to bottom. Cocktails were delicious, wine selection was varietous, and all staff was courteous and attentive. I ended the meal with an amaro flight, which the bartender helped to select. Honestly could not have asked for a better outing. Would give 6 stars if I could!

Wife and I came in for the full Marathon tasting menu, as part of a short weekend getaway.

The food was delicious, and most everthing you would expect from an expertly crafted tasting menu. The drinks were delicious, we ordered the Cola Old Fashion and The Crosby. Both fantastic.
Each dish was portioned well, with a wide variety of flavors and cuisines, ranging from Asian, to French, seafood to artisan bread, and everything in between. Very pleased with the strategy order eash dish and course was served, that ultimately did a great job exploring and connecting all major taste palettes. In a very close decision, our favorite dish was the roasted duck with peppers and corn. Only minor feedback is that we noticed halved cherry tomatoes were used in two seperate dishes with no clear progression or transformation (that we could perceive).

Service, albeit very friendly and professional, was wanting…
There were instances where some of our requests were repeatedly forgotten. We had ordered a second Cola Old Fashion, and it took more than a few occurrences of “So sorry, we’ll get that going right away” before finally receiving it. I had also requested ice for my glass of water, and that also took several attempts before finally receiving it.
Perhaps the biggest feedback was the lack of knowledge and confidence. It was a recurring theme that many of the staff who were bringing out our plates were actually unaware of what was on the plate, or how it was cooked, etc. As the plate(s) was being set, the servers would often stumble across their words as they struggled to recall exactly what the dish was, what was in it, how it was cooked, or be able to answer some fairly easy questions about it.
Regarding confidence, something we noticed was that some of the servers would kind of just set the plate down, recite the name of the dish, we would say thank you, and they just sort of smiled and shyly/awkwardly walked off. Nothing major, just something funny and quirky we noticed. Say “My Pleasure, enjoy.” or something to give the interaction a sense of closure, and walk off with confidence.
Our main server, though I can’t recall her name, was extremely friendly and a gem.

Lastly, the atmosphere…
The atmosphere was definitely… interesting! G&R does well balancing an semi-upscale casual a la carte eatery, a bar area, while also executing sophisticated tasting menu. The decor was entertaining, as we were figuring out the fun paintings (nike van go-gh, pickle ball). My only small minor feedback was that our table, and consequently my seat, was just a touch too close to the shelf against the window with the lit candles on it.

Overall, a wonderful and memorable experience, and one we would ultimately recommend for the price point. Our only regret is not adding the wine pairing!

I am a SUPER picky eater and am not USUALLY adventurous. That said we recently had the Marathon with a request of no seafood and no duck for me. The staff obliged and the adventure began……
It was AMAZING!!! Loved every course! Super good food and quite the fun experience!!!

This restaurant was amazing! We came from Seattle to try the food and it did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and so well balanced. The pork tenderloin was cooked perfectly was a really tasty mustard pistachio crust. It was the best pork tenderloin I’ve ever had. Also the pea salad was outstanding and had a really nice char and I loved the mint. Also they have amaro flights which is brilliant and the somm was very knowledgeable and helpful and gave us some great recommendations to try. I highly recommend coming here and trying everything. We can’t wait to come back!

While staying in Spokane, a colleague recommended that I have dinner at this restaurant. I decided to visit on my own, and I’m glad I did — the interior is beautifully lit with natural light and has a lovely, relaxing atmosphere.

I was initially seated at the bar, but I would have preferred to sit at a table. It would be nice if solo diners had the option to choose a table as well.

That said, the woman who assisted me was very pleasant and explained the menu clearly. I ordered the fresh oysters and the Campanelle. The food was delicious, especially the oysters, which were fresh and flavorful.

Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance and the attentive service. Next time, I’d love to come back with a friend and enjoy a longer, more relaxed meal.

We came here for our friends 40th birthday and wow was it perfect! The atmosphere is cozy but modern, really good vibes overall inside with sensory friendly lighting. The staff all look very professional and put together and are incredibly friendly. The food was so good I almost cried, no exaggeration. The menu changes often and the plates are made for sharing with the rest of your table. I highly recommend this place of you want upscale, fresh and innovative food.

We went and did the chefs marathon for my husbands birthday dinner. It was out of this world! I thought it was better than candle in the woods. They were able to make us mocktails with faux spirits that were creative and tasty. The staff was friendly and I love the atmosphere. The only thing I would say that should be noted just for future reference is I thought the dinner was going to take 2.25 hours and it took 3.25 hours. Honestly with how much food we ate we probably needed the extra hour to fit it all in because we were stuffed lol but we had to alter our after dinner plans due to the length of the meal but it was 100% worth it and you should run not walk to go devour the deliciousness. Their “gluten queen” as they called her made the best bread we’ve ever had and their pasta was I already want to go back and I left 3 hours ago and I’m still full lol
