"A vibrant staple of downtown, Bistango is an upscale slice of life in a sea of come-and-go concepts. Owner Reema Shaver, who herself feels like a personality to big for Spokane, has built a passionate following that show up thirsty for huckleberry martinis and blood orange Manhattans. Toss in simple eclectic small plates like Sonnenberg’s steak bites with blue cheese or the house favorite calamari and you’ll realize there’s a lot more here than olives on a toothpick." - Kris Kilduff
