Wiley's downtown bistro

Dinner at Wiley’s Bistro is rich, savory comfort food done right, with generous portions, familiar favorites, and a menu worth lingering over. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere 📍 Wiley’s Bistro 421 W Main Ave, Ste 104 Spokane 🍽️ What We Ordered: • Love Bun must order every single time. Spicy heat, crunchy bread, cheesy goodness… my favorite. • Prawns are exactly what you’d expect. • Smoked Mozzarella Baguette savory, garlicky, dip-happy bread vibes. • Beet Salad is a full 10/10. Fresh, balanced, and memorable. • Wedge Salad is classic and satisfying. • Ravioli Entrée no portobello; subbed with cheese ravioli, and it worked beautifully. Creamy, peppery, parmesan goodness. • Braised Short Ribs fork-tender, rich, drenched in a delicious wine gravy. • Mud Pie coffee ice cream vibes with Aztec fudge, cookie crumble, chocolate, and whipped cream. 👧🧒 Kid-friendly note: No official kids menu, but they’re happy to whip up a grilled cheese, hamburger, or quesadilla if needed.

I have to come back here for an actual meal. Now all I experienced was light apps n drinks but they didn't disappoint. I had the prawn cocktail, crispy Brussels, n mozzarella bread. Can't remember the drink names but they were good. But a must try is the creme brulee. It was amazing. The top was nice n hard n made tha glass cracking sound even u take the first bite. The middle was smooth creamy and cold. Combo that with the warm Carmel on top...omg! Almost forgot the mudpie was good too.

In my honest opinion, the food was average and nothing to get excited about. My wife had the crab covered salmon that was overly seasoned and overdone. The short rib was a little too lean for my liking. My son had the Beef Wellington . He had it medium rare and it was a little on the chewy side. Just average tasting food. I would not go back solely because of the quality to price ratio.

Honestly was amazing. Our table had a variety of allergies and chef was very accommodating and even came out and talked 1on1 with me directly. He was so sweet and understanding. What an awesome experience and a great place to eat and to be. Thank you chef and wileys for such and amazing experience!

Don't remember the name of my drink but it was some sort of French aperitif with a bright, citrus finish. It went well with one of the TOP FIVE (actually in the running for the "best") wedge salads of my life—NO JOKE. Just the right amount of both Balsamic and ranch dressings "melded" beautifully rather than "competing" with each other for attention and I never thought toasted pepinos and pumpkin seeds would be a secret weapon addition in the quest for the best wedge salads EVER. Smoked mozzarella on baguettes topped with pine nuts, whole roasted garlic in olive oil and rosemary. Sounds weird but was extremely delish 😲 Since I never had a Beef Wellington before, but am planning on going to Vegas late next month and will eat purportedly one of the best examples of the dish there @ Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen, I instead settled on the Short Rib with cheesy mash potatoes and green beans. Incredible and literally fork tender, you have no need for a knife, I just used mine to pull back the layers to show it's juiciness and tenderness for the pics. Everything was lovely. If you're craving elevated comfort food, this place is a SURE DEAL!

Great meal. Knowledgeable and friendly server who sold us on the main specials. Very good cooking and presentation. I bet anything on the menu would be super here. We also enjoyed the wine.

Excellent service from Ellie today! She is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. I asked for a recommendation on the appetizer, I had two dishes I was considering. I landed on the mozzarella and it did not disappoint! Dan was at the bar and the restaurant got busy, with Ellie leading the charge of taking care of the whole place. I can’t say enough about how flawlessly professional and efficient she is! Wiley’s is lucky to have her. There’s music in the background, not overwhelming. Quiet enough that it does not interfere with conversation. Food, service and vibe are all great. I’m really grateful I found this place on my work trip today !

I visited Wiley’s for lunch in October 2023 and returned here with friends in early Aug 2024 for dinner. The service is fantastic and I appreciate the limited menu options and lovely plating of the meals. The appetizers are exquisite, especially the baked brie and French dip. The salmon was a bit dry but everything else was fantastic. I recommend dining here and plan to stop in again the next time I am in Spokane. The size of the space is decent but if fills up fast for lunch and dinner even on Mondays, so you'll want to make a reservation.

Exceptional Experience @ Wiley's Downtown Bistro in Spokane, WA. !!! Absolutely wonderful service by Lindsey. The whole front of house worked seamlessly and very well together. The restaurant itself was small but robust and featured original oil paintings throughout. We were lucky enough to be welcomed here, as they got very busy with their reservations in the early evening hours this past Saturday. Drinks were flavorful. The Beet salad made us pucker with delight. The tasty Pescatarian entrees and their accoutrements were thoughtfully paired and savored. We'll make sure to have a reservation for the next time! Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

I had a reservation at 6:30 but we had an issue with our plans beforehand and I called to see if they could get us in earlier and they could get us in a spot at the bar tables. Cool! We showed up and it was empty but quickly filled up so I was glad I called. The place was cute- exposed brick with artwork by local artists, twinkle lights and 90's music. Very cute. The waitress was very sweet and made me a delicious mango-ginger mocktail which I really enjoyed. My husband got a pomegranate martini. We ordered the halibut fish cakes (the special) and the love bun for an appetizer. The halibut was not my taste at all--there was a very Smokey flavor that overpowered anything. I only ate a couple bites but my husband was super hungry so he ate them even though he didn't care for them either. The love bun however was the star of the show-- best thing we ordered! I got short ribs and my husband got the sirloin. The short rib meat was ok but wasn't anything standout. I ate a couple bites and boxed the rest. The potatoes were soooo salty I couldn't even eat them. My husband liked his steak but also said his potatoes were too salty. I was really very bummed with the majority of the food but the ambiance and service was great. Likely won't be coming back here.

UPDATE: The restaurant called me yesterday. The manager was very kind, apologized for the experience, and wanted to make it right. My intention with the review was only to share my experience, not to make them feel like they owed me anything. So, for them to reach out and call me was really going above and beyond. I will definitely give them another shot. Our past experiences were genuinely so great and we really loved their food. Maybe it was just an off night. Thanks again to the restaurant for reaching out. It was very kind.

I came here twice while living in Spokane. Once for Valentine's Day and once for my graduation dinner. Service on Valentine's Day was AMAZING with the coursed meal. Service the second time around, not so much. Regardless, the food both times were delicious. I tried the salmon the first time and the top sirloin the second time. Definitely one of the better meals I've had when living in Spokane!

As they say 'you can't go back home again'. Back in Spokane several years after my last visit and I had such a great experience at Wiley's I just knew I had to return. Made my reservation and checked out the menu online. Some new items appeared to have been added and my favorite from my first visit seems to have been retired. But still, I was looking forward to a return trip! The only problem was as I walked to where I remembered the restaurant was, it wasn't there! They had moved, to a much nicer space, with a high-end feel! How cool is that! Although my favorites from my previous visit were gone, they had a number of new options that were again delish and great on the palette. Terrific service, same as before, has not gone anywhere and in some cases, even better. So to sum up, Wiley's is a great choice in downtown Spokane for a finer dining experience (you can always hit Clinkerdagger for a more homestyle experience).

Located on Main Street in Downtown Spokane, Wiley's Downtown Bistro is the ideal place to enjoy a meal before a show at the First Interstate Center for the Arts. This restaurant has a nice wine list and local art on the walls, making it an inviting space. During my most recent visit, I sat in the bar area, so the bartender was also my server. He was a little busy taking on both roles, but still was friendly and attentive. To start I had a cup of the butternut squash soup, which was the daily soup during my visit. It was so good and sprinkled with roasted pepitas. For dinner I ordered the Cesar salad with grilled chicken. The salad was overly dressed, so maybe ask for dressing on the side or light dressing. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked.

The food was really good. I had the beet salad with Salmon cooked medium rare. It was cooked perfectly m the atmosphere was very comfortable and the decor was very cute. The establishment was clean. The service was very good and our server was very attentive. Nice place I would eat here again if ever back on Spokane.

The mix of amazing service, impeccable food, and a great setting sets this place apart from others. I've seen Michael Wiley pouring his love into the Spokane food scene all over social media, and getting to experience a dinner service here was a treat. I had high expectations, and they were blown away. I will be back and will support any venture this man sets his mind to!

Ok... first off the food and plating was perfect! The tastes are worth the trip and a visit hands down. My only issue was the beef was over done. Now if it sat in a steamer or liquid crock pot it probably would have been juicy and off the chart but it was not there. But everything else was on point. Service was fantastic even though they were pretty busy.

Making reservations was a breeze and we appreciated that we were not rushed during our time at the restaurant. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, which definitely enhanced our dining experience. We absolutely loved the drinks and entrees. While the smoked mozzarella and mud pie were decent, they didn't particularly stand out. Overall, a fantastic experience.

The service was amazing. Our waitress was so nice and attentive but my salmon was sooooo dry. Apparently everyone else at my table didn't enjoy their food either. The appetizers were delightful. We got the prawn cocktail and Brie appetizers. The ambiance would be perfect for a date night and the espresso martini was exactly what I needed. So maybe just do light bites and drinks.

As I was walking around the downtown area of Spokane on a sleepy and dreary Monday evening, Wiley's was just the place I needed to find! Inside there is a large amount of tables and a few seats at the bar. I got a table right at the window to look out on the street and loved the twinkle light vibes! My server was very helpful and able to get me exactly what I wanted. I am not a huge fan of spicy so appreciated the warning that the blackened shrimp were spicy and the waiter was able to have the chef hold off on the seasoning so I could still enjoy the dish I wanted. The chocolate mousse was well balanced and flavorful and I love that it was vegan and gluten free. The shrimp were fresh and well prepared and I loved the sweet chili sauce that they came with. Look forward to my next trip to Spokane to visit!

Went here for a work dinner and had a great time. We had a large party and they provided a fabulous waitress. She was so helpful and made sure we didn't want for anything. When we arrived she already had waters on the table waiting for us and came within a couple of moment to get out drink orders. The food took a while to come out but luckily we ordered appetizers to take the edge off. We got the garlic crestini, the warm bre and soup/salads. Everything was very tasty and came with exceptional service. My entree, the Short Rib was very beautiful when it arrived but the taste didn't match. The rib was dry and chewy but the green peppercorn sauce was tasty. The potatoes were rich and perfectly seasoned but cold and stiff when they arrived. I chose not to bring this up as our party was large, it was already late and they were so kind to stay open past closing for our group. Everyone enjoyed their food and I will absolutely go back to try a different dish. Next time I would like to try a lunch option.

Makyla set us up beautifully. Ahi Tower, wedge salad rolled out, djrinks, bottomless martini glass on ice, so fun! Short rib presentation fantastic. Super ample chicken raviolli, loved that. . Winner winner...man I really hate that phrase.

Our food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I had the salmon special perfectly cooked and a combination of Southern flavors that blew my mind! My husband had the duck with huckleberry Demi glaze it was so delicious!

Wileys does not disappoint!! If you are a X2 on a date, get whatever both specials are and share! Your tastebuds will sing!

Came in on a Thursday night and it was booming. I didn't have reservations but I was seated at the bar with my husband immediately, which I appreciated. It does get busy, so if you want to ensure a table or have a larger group, I recommend reservations. I got a cocktail and thought it was good, tasted good with a bit of flair to it. Ordered the beet salad and short rib. It was really cool how they split one portion into two plates for us to share (: The shirt ribs was delicious, but took longer than it should have... it was about 45 minutes before our dinner came. The service was really nice and apologetic though and would often check up on us.

It's always a treat to dine @wileysdowntownbistro . We were excited to check out their new real estate (just around the corner from their old spot). Red brick, soft lighting and wood ceiling beams create a cozy environment. We indulged in some warm dishes to heat us up on this brisk evening. Please go visit as soon as possible! . Butternut squash soup with toasted pepitas Fresh crusty bread with herb butter Duck confit huckleberry reduction | heirloom carrot |orange zest | everything yukon Braised short ribs rosemary | green peppercorn | red wine pan sauce | everything yukon. Wiley's Downtown Bistro 421 W Main Ave, Ste 104, Spokane, WA 99201

Our server Dan was amazing and attentive. We started with sharing the asparagus as an appetizer and it was phenomenal. I had the huckleberry lemonade which came in an adorable glass and tasted perfect with dinner. I ordered the crab topped salmon and it was amazing. The beef short ribs were amazing as well. Pictures attached of the yummy dinner. We ate the asparagus too quickly for a photo. And finished with a margarita pie that was delicious. We will definitely be back!

WOW! Awesomely delicious food, great service nice atmosphere. We had the evenings specials, Halibut with polenta cake and asparagus as well a the lamb chops with a risotto and creamy Mediterranean sauce. I can't believe we waited so long to come here. The drinks were tasty, I had the Sidekick. One spicy jalapeño drink! My husband had a local beer from Lumberbeard. Both specials were so delicious! Magic with food is all I can say. Cool and sugary Crème Brûlée for dessert. Portions were perfect (we shared), service was great Makyla was excellent. Attentive but not hovering. She knew the offerings of the evening and was able to assist us in making our choices. Reminded me that the drink was spicy, again and made sure we were happy with everything. For the incredible food and super service we will definitely come back. Try them out, I mean it! Sorry about the plates pics, we each took a bite before I remembered to snap a photo.

Service and ambience were fantastic and server went above and beyond. Ironically, we were at another restaurant (Clinketdagger) with a reservation struggling to be seated and I called the restaurant and they invited me over and made a quick reservation in 15 minutes. Everything that was brought to the table which included appetizers, salad, main dishes, and desserts are fantastic. Also, we ordered three mock cocktails, and they were out of this world! I will certainly revisit this restaurant next time I am in Spokane. Highly recommended!!!

Saw the reviews and now we know why they are so good. We didn't have reservations on a Friday night but went around 5 and got seated right away at a table in the bar. Dan the bartender served us and made a wine recommendation that we both enjoyed. My husband had the chicken and mushroom ravioli with cream sauce. It was both delicious and filling. I had the salmon with crab which was also tasty and filling. We boxed half so we could try the mud pie dessert which we heard good things about. It was a huge serving and we scraped the plate. People kept coming in the whole time we were there and the place was packed by the time we left. Definitely will return and bring friends.

There's a reason everyone in the Spokane area takes their visiting family and friends to Wiley's Downtown Bistro. It is absolutely DELICIOUS! OMG, we had the best lunch here a few weeks ago. The restaurant is cute, and in an excellent location in Spokane's walkable downtown near the Riverfront Park. The service was super friendly and as mentioned previously, the food is out of this world delicious with options for all. We will definitely be back!

Really good food. would dine here again, great service and ambiance. megan. I highly reccomend and would dine here again. they ID :(

I can see why this place is popular! Located downtown (good luck finding parking) they did a nice job with the building leaving exposed brick on the walls and high ceilings. Soft music playing and not too loud so good conversation can flow! I received a warm greeting as I entered and my server was very friendly. Started with a cup of chicken jalapeño and cheddar soup. It came in a VERY SMALL cup! The soup had nice flavor to it but had a lot of pepper in it (that was not needed). For my meal I ordered the short ribs. It was basically a pot roast with a yummy wine reduction sauce. The meat was too try and I used all the sauce to help it. Almost asked for more sauce but didn't! This dish was garnished with lots of WHOLE peppercorns and after taking a bite with them in it had to pick them out of the dish with my hands. Not good! I should have stopped here but orders the mud pie for dessert. The mocha ice cream was good but they put HUGE chunks of frozen fudge randomly inside and it resulted in getting bites of just the frozen fudge. It had low quality chocolate chips on top that they could have left off. Nice meal that was good but not great, and after tip I spent $77 (water to drink) and for $77 I want a GREAT MEAL, which they just didn't provide. Won't be back.

It's difficult to get a five out of me, but this place is really close. The service was excellent, the presentation was delightful, and the food was delish! I went there for my 65th birthday and was treated like royalty! My complimentary birthday dessert was off the chain... try the key lime!

Ordered a togo wrap. Service was awesome, very helpful, and friendly while we waiting for our food.. the wrap was delicious can't wait to be back in spokane to try something else.

Definitely make reservations. Great date night here. Started off with a wedge salad and the best asparagus I've ever had in my life. So good had a hard time sharing it. The balsamic drizzle was so good. I got the crab salmon was delicious but it had nothing on the short ribs I kept stealing it from my husband. Sooooooo freaking good omg I was dying. For dessert I got crème brûlée and the moose. Hit the spot. Parking app " call to park" parking lot beside restaurant.

We had a great girls night here and Kelsey was a great waitress. She was the perfect amount of funny, friendly and kind. We were not rushed, enjoyed wine and delicious food and the vibe was wonderful. Kudos the Kelsey, I told her she was one of the best waitresses I have had in years! Will come back for sure.

Fantastic dinner! Pricey but a wonderful date night location. Very attentive. Definitely would be back for a special treat.

The appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinks were amazing. The staff was on point. We had a great experience tonight

I haven't been to the new location but the food has always been consistently excellent. I often schedule business lunches here for my boss. Fantastic gluten free options.

I love Wiley's! Great customer service, beautiful space and the food is amazing! The people are kind and make it easy to just walk in.

Went here tonight for my anniversary! It was excellent. The atmosphere is intimate, kinda dark, definitely not a huge place. We ordered the jalapeño creamy chicken soup, it was sooooo so so good. I wish the serving was bigger, I could have eaten 3 cups of it. Definitely gotta try it!! The brut rosé was very crisp. I loved it. For the main course, we ordered the chicken bacon mushroom ravioli and the short rib. The ravioli stole the show, it was 10/10. The sauce was amazing, lots of chicken. You have to try it. The short rib, on the other hand, was good don't get me wrong... but just wasn't as ~ elevated ~ It was maybe a little over cooked, still very good though. We finished it! Just didn't have the wow factor like the soup and ravioli. I wish I had tried the halibut that was on special tonight. Our table neighbors had ordered it and it looked delicious!! Overall, highly recommend this restaurant!! I will be back.

My boyfriend and I did the 4 course special for Valentine's Day. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal!

Downtown. Nice vibe. Street parking. Vibe okay. Food is great!!! Have the sushi grade salmon tower. Wiley is an amazing chef.

First chance at stopping by this place in Spokane. Loved the food! It was totally unique and really hit the spot*

Excellent food. Warm, friendly staff. A truly memorable meal during my family's visit to Spokane.

There's nothing pretentious about Wiley's Downtown Bistro. And before you think it's boujee, I'll tell you that when you finish your meal you'll feel more like you had a home cooked dinner than an over conceptualized plate. The interior itself is understated and could be updated. The orange peel texture on the wall, drop ceilings, and the lazily applied black paint over the vent hood doesn't scream high class. The picture frames aren't hung correctly either. Minor details, but the lighting, the bar displayed as a centerpiece and decently high ceilings still make you feel like your treating yourself to something special. The price is relatively high for the meal and simple plating, but top notch execution and high quality cuts and ingredients make the cost acceptable, bordering on a value deal. I had the $45 3 course meal and that definitely makes this a value. The friendly service absolutely aids here too. I started with -The jalapeno chicken soup- It's loaded with flavor and had a good kick of spiciness. The consistency was thick and held together well. It was a lot all at once, but once I got to the chicken pieces it balanced out the spices well. 7.9/10 For my main I had the -Braised short rib with mashed Yukon potatoes- This dish was very good. It's the home cooked hearty meal you wish your mother could make. While the center of the rib was just bareeeely dry, the crust was delicate and consistent and held in most of the moisture. The reduction worked well but wasn't the best part of the plate. The best part was the fat. Oh man was that good. And there was the exact right amount of it. Rendered to perfection, not a piece left on my plate. The potatoes were not ordinary either. Green onion, herbs and cheese melted on top of a sort of formed potato cake. I enjoyed the flavors but they could have committed a little more and made it really pop. Rib 8.3/10. Potatoes 7.7/10 I finished with the -Margarita pie- this was really excellent. It's a keylime pie. The filling set and has more of a thick custard texture than it's heavily gelatinous relatives. I loved that the filling had a moderate sweetness and wasn't shy on the tartness. I particularly like my keylime pies tart. This wasn't quite there, BUT the lime sauce drizzled on the dish let's the consumer decide how much of a zing they desire. Well designed and perfectly executed. Crust was a non factor, so overall it gets a 8.9 I could have given this place 5 stars if it wasn't at the price point that it is. It's competing against some really excellent, niche, restaurants that have honed in on the details just a bit more. But these people know what they are doing and are experts at their craft. From the food, the cooks to the wait staff, I had a great time and I think you will too.

I was in town for my union convention and, as the food and beverage person for my delegation (self-appointed) I looked into Wiley's and knew we had to visit. Since dinner breaks aren't long and we were on foot Wiley's location close to the convention center was a plus. Our dinner break was early and we go to Wiley's while it was mostly empty. It filled up! I was with a group of four who love good food and also like to share! We started with a baked brie dish with lots of drizzle to scoop up and it was lovely. The thinly sliced apple was a great accompaniment to this dish. I shared a crab topped salmon dish with a friend that was truly special! It was perfectly cooked and piled on a risotto cake with drizzles and lots of crunchy toppings. The split the dish for us and plated both beautifully! A friend had the blackened prawns with raspberry chili and rice cake... The Brussels sprouts salad was a revelation with thinly sliced crispy crunchy sprouts and crunchy toppings. I would go back just for this. We also had some great grilled asparagus with balsamic drizzle and some great wine. The local art for sale on the walls is great and we finished up sharing a mud slide dessert that was just about more than the four of us could finish. We definitely did finish it though. We all loved the restroom signs. This is the kind of local, quirky, fantastic and enthusiastic place that we love to go to when we visit other places for our conventions!

I had high expectations for this meal, but they were not met. We were there on a very non-crowded night- they were not even half full and the guests were staggered in arrival. The servers were friendly and prompt, but we placed our cocktail order and waited and waited - then our salad course arrived and we ate that - still no drinks. The gal apologized for the delay when she dropped them off just before our mains came out, saying she is just learning the whole bar thing (also gave me no confidence that my drink was correctly mixed) -but there was no reason this should have happened, since they were not busy. She missed an upsale to actually serve us a second drink with our main dish. The blackberry bramble drink had two completely tasteless blackberries as a garnish, which is a bummer. The old fashioned was nice. Main dishes - the beef spareribs were good the side of potatoes and green beans very good. The salmon and crab - hmmm, not great, not much taste and not enough sauce to help out on taste. The asparagus was dry and coated with something kind of gritty - pretty plate presentation didn't make up for a disappointing $38 dish. We passed on dessert as we had other plans. I know they went to great lengths to accommodate another dinner who had dairy intolerance, which was nice to see. Atmosphere felt a bit too minimalist for my taste. The overall experience was not 5 star worthy.

The service was amazing, Janelle was an amazing server and the food was incredible, I took my girlfriend here for Valentine's Day and she wants to come back here every year. 5/5 everyone in Spokane should eat here at least once

My husband made a reservation here to celebrate our anniversary. We are in town for a conference, so he researched local places for us to celebrate. It was only about a 10 minute walk from our hotel, The Davenport. The restaurant is very quaint, comfortable and classy but also casual. Our server was amazing! We ordered a bottle of lovely Spanish wine and enjoyed some delicious roasted brussel sprouts before our dinner. I ordered the crab topped salmon on a crispy risotto cake. I think this may be the best thing I've ever eaten. My husband ordered the chicken breast portobello ravioli. He loved it! At the end of our meal, our server brought us a crème brûlée with a candle to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was just perfect!

On a Tuesday night my boyfriend and I walked into this cozy establishment, ready to devour half the menu. The space feels like a miniature art exhibit and the menu supports this impression that the whole experience is meant to be elevated and classy. It does all this while still feeling home-y. "Bistro" is an accurate description for this place. Restaurant week was in full swing and we had to wait a while for our reservation date since it had been all booked up for the week. While our reservation day agonizingly approached, I would eye the menu continuously for those 2 weeks and my mouth would water each time I would skim it over and envision what each dish would taste like. So when we were greeted by Mikayla who was just as warm as the space was, I was ready to order and had no questions! We started with an ahi tower and a crab puff. The ahi tower was just okay. It had overpowering amounts of wasabi and while the ahi was tender, it lacked in flavor. The dish was refreshing, but nearly every bite felt like a rude and painful awakening every time the wasabi would assault our sinuses. It doesn't help that it's an expensive starter. We definitely preferred the crab puff which was warm, flaky, and creamy. It was so good, we contemplated getting another but decided against it in order to save room for the other dishes. The special soup of the night was a carrot Fuji apple coconut curry which was really unique. I really appreciated how willing the chef was to push boundaries with experimenting and this dish is a great example of that. While my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed the soup, and I do agree that it was such a great flavor journey, it boiled down to what I imagine baby food puree would taste like. Throughout the starters, I sipped on a total of two French Martinis which were Mikayla's recommendations. I couldn't thank her enough! They were delicious and I couldn't taste the alcohol at all, yet I felt warm and fuzzy the entire time we waited for our entrees till way after we left the restaurant. We ordered the duck confit and medium cooked sirloin Wellington as our main courses. The presentation was absolutely beautiful for both dishes. The duck confit was a little salty for my liking but the Wellington was delicious. The puff pastry was cooked just right and the beef itself was tender and juicy. The side pairings of mashed potatoes and vegetables with the cranberry wine reduction took this dish to a whole new level. I felt like I was experiencing a story through food! I would highly recommend trying this and wish that I had this experience with all the dishes. We settled with sharing a creme brûlée which was a classic safe bet for us. The torched top was partially covered with caramel and hadn't completely hardened, but I was surprised that I preferred this over a classic brûlée. So after weeks waiting for our reservation date and staring hungrily at the menu on my phone, did Wiley's live up to my expectations? Sadly no, but I also can't exactly blame them when my "expectations" were more like wild fantasies at that point. Still, everything was delicious--just lacking that "WOW" factor. I think that it's the ambience, attentive and warm service, occasional experimental food item, and delicious drinks that make this place shine and made our bill hurt a little less. Overall, I would still come back to Wiley's to give them another shot and try different menu items in hopes that I feel consistently amazed through each course. I'd also come back just to have drinks and enjoy the ambiance of the place. One last note: we parked right across the street using a "call to park" lot and paid about $8 for two hours. This was the perfect amount of time to dine for us and I wouldn't recommend saving a spot for less time. Be prepared to have an account with Call to Park and have the app or website pulled up to pay. Otherwise, there is street parking, but we couldn't find an open stall otherwise we wouldn't have paid to park.

I've been here a few times now and I love it more all the time!! First time was dinner and today we had the baked brie and French Dip with fresh pea salad and it was incredible! Had a cocktail, I've think it was dark and stormy(?) and it's my new favorite go to cocktail!

Likely our favorite restaurant in Spokane. We love to try new places but keep getting drawn back to Wiley's. The service is top notch and the food is simply fantastic. They've never missed! My favorite is the Wellington.

Must go! Top seafood, Top Wagyu steak and all around culinary excellence im Spokane. This is an absolute gem of a chef and restaurant. We had Wagyu surf n turf, cooked perfectly and extremely tender and flavorful. Salmon topped with crab, excellent combinations and accompaniments. We had the ahi tower and crab puff pastry, both were phenomenal and each exceptional flavors. We also had mushrooms sides, Brussels sprouts and Pot de Creme. Everything was above top notch, great prices for the quality of food your receive. I can't wait to return and tell everyone about this remarkable spot!

Highly highly recommend giving this place a try! It is phenomenal! Everything is delicious and the staff is accommodating and amazing! The environment is so warm and inviting! I highly recommend starting with dessert or making for absolute certain you save room for dessert!! We eat family style where we all order different things and pass the plates so we can all try a variety of options! Everything was amazing! The mud pie was to die for!!!! It was beyond everything I could have imagined. The crunchy cookie part was a perfect pairing to the hot Aztec fudge and the espresso ice cream really set it off! If you don't get anything else you have to at least get the mud pie!

Had a fabulous night out with my amazing friends. Cocktails and wine were fantastic, dinner was delicious and the service was superb. Kelsey was our server and had wonderful recommendations, engaging and funny. It was a lovely evening with great friends, great drinks, great dinners snd great service. Will definitely be going back. Wiley's was a lot of fun and a perfect place to spend an evening out.
