The dining experience at this place was incredible. From the time you walk in to a very low-key and cool entrance, you walk down the stairs into a cave lake setting. The ambience is low-key quiet and dark, and the people are friendly and ready to serve you. I started with an old-fashioned to drink and ordered the chicken schnitzel. The food is absolutely delicious filling and tasty. It was the best schnitzel I've ever had in my entire life. This place is a must do in Spokane. read more

So amazingly beautiful. The dim warm lighting added a cozy feel. The decorations were beautiful and tastefully medieval inspired. It smelled amazing when we first walked in and we were immediately greeted and seated. Service was amazing! It was fast and efficient and our waitress made the process smooth and fast. We got two apps, the flatbread and the loaded deviled eggs. The devil eggs were creamy topped with smoky bacon and a pungent parm crisp. It was lovely! The filling was smooth and the smokiness of the bacon cut the richness of the filling. The parm added a wonderfully taste as well as added a interesting texture. The star of the apps was definitely the flatbread though. It was a soft bread with a sweetness chili based topped with bacon, peppers, and onions! It was delicious! The sweetness paired with the bacon was brilliant! I got the shrimp pasta! The sauce was beautiful and the shrimp were juicy and cooked perfectly. The wine was cooked off wonderfully leaving just a hint of flavor with none of the bitterness. The burger was juicy and the cheese was wonderfully meaty. The bun was fresh and bouncy. The veg were fresh and while we weren't ask how we wanted the meat cooked (my sister is very picky) it was cooked to her liking. The least strongest dish was the schnitzel. The meat was crispy, but honestly lacked flavor. The potatoes were also mashed with chucks which I just don't prefer and it also has skin still so... read more

My wife and I went out for a date night that started here at the Gilded Unicorn. We've been meaning to try it for a while now and we were NOT disappointed. The atmosphere is intimate, the service was fast, friendly and professional and the food and cocktails were outstanding! We can't wait for our next visit! read more

Gilded Unicorn - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I almost skipped Gilded Unicorn because of some rough online reviews claiming poor service and being ignored. Honestly? That wasn't our experience at all. It was a packed Friday night, and our table along with the ones around us was fully taken care of. Service was attentive, food came out in a reasonable time, and the atmosphere never felt rushed or neglected. Always glad when a place proves the comments wrong. What We Ordered: * Loaded Deviled Eggs * Bocce Rolls * Crispy Wings (Jalapeño Honey) * Parm Crusted White Fish * Gold Burger * Mexican Express * Unicorn Drop * Berry Lemon Cake Cozy comfort, strong cocktails, and a vibe that does the heavy lifting. read more

Tater tot casserole. Love it. I'm predictable. I discovered this place through restaurant week and became a fan. Best atmosphere, cool vibes. Usually good service. I didn't give it five stars because the delay on drinks, and prices for what you get is way more than a profit. Otherwise, solid choice for a dinner out. read more

This place is super cool, I felt like we were in a cave. We went there last night and had a great happy hour at the bar. We did not eat because we just got back from a different restaurant. We wished we ate there because the food looked amazing!!! Our bartender Erin was super nice and we enjoyed watching her mix the incredible drinks!!! Great place! read more

The food and service were really good. If you have a tight budget, they do have a great, happy hour. The only thing that I didn't like is that they too are adding a 'team' benefits free of 4% to your tab. As I expressed with my review for the Steam Plant, this additional fee only helps those that are working on a full-time basis who elect the benefits which is usually the owner and the managers. I am curious about something; what if the fees are more than the cost for the 'team' benefits? Does everyone get a bonus from the excess? (Doubtful) read more

Gilded Unicorn - Additional fee. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Stopped in recently before a show at the Fox and was graciously received and seated at the bar immediately. The spot (which is down stairs fyi) has great decor and ambiance. The bartender was fantastic and while busy, was still very attentive. The showstopper was really the menu. We only had time to sample the drinks (I had the Tin Cup and my partner had the Pink Elephant) but both were fantastic and decently priced. Looking forward to to coming back for the food another time soon! read more

Harry Potter meets dungeon vibes with great drinks and food. Erin was really cool taking about the different drinks and the featured craft cocktail. The tots appetizer was so delicious and portioned just correctly. Highly recommend early as it got packed before I knew what happened. read more

Fun quirky atmosphere that is located in the basement. Upon entering street side you go down stairs and greeted by the hostess. You can sit at a table or the bar. I opted for the bar. The menu has some fun choices. From other Yelp photos it appears to change and offer seasonal dishes. I enjoyed the chicken schnitzel and an adult beverage. Staff was friendly and easy to talk to. I enjoyed the experience, service, and food. Thank you Gilded Unicorn. read more

Great place for dinner and drinks- we al loved it - great ambience, food and service!

If you're ever in Spokane, this place is an entire vibe. Worth the parking hassle (it's hard to find parking on a Saturday night, but what else is new?) to visit for a cocktail. Not ADA (there's a set of stairs to go down and no elevator -- it's in an older building. Follow the signs and head down the stairs...and you'll find yourself in a high-ceiling cellar-like space that is somehow both cosy and spacious at the same time. Love the brick walls and the chandeliers. The loaded deviled eggs were impressive to behold and good to eat; the whipped potatoes were under whelming. The banana peanut dessert was rich and enjoyable with a pint of beer. Friends had cocktails, including an Old Fashioned, that were well-appreciated. Only regret was that we had already eaten dinner, so we were too full to have more than just bites and dessert and drinks, b/c the people next to us looked like they were eating delicious meals. Barkeeper was thoughtful and service was prompted and attentive. Definitely looking forward to a return visit. read more

Food , service and ambiance all on point Relaxing atmosphere the drinks were great. I had chicken schnitzel was delicious over garlic mashed potatoes and a bit of kale on side. My husband had the pork chop over mashed potatoes with carrots and broccoli. First time in Spokane, I will definitely return whenever in town . read more

We had dinner at the gilded unicorn this week and it was delicious and fun! It was very busy during the to Inlanders restaurant week. Our server was fantastic! This restaurant is in a cavern type catacombs setting. I had the chicken schnitzel and Caesar salad. The food was great! The drinks are also wonderful! There are nonalcoholic options as well. I highly recommend the Gilded unicorn for dinner and drinks! read more

I was excited to try this place because the decor and ambiance were so stylish and moody. Happy hour is definitely a must, because while portions are smaller, you still get to try all the things. I ordered an $8 berries and cream soda, which was ok, but not worth an $8 price tag, but I understand. Opted for the deviled eggs and bocce rolls and I gotta say, unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by either. Both were okay and edible but the rolls lacked any garlic flavor and the deviled eggs just didn't hit. An ok overall stop. Service was friendly. read more

I've never not finished a meal in my life. Salad was full of gross rotten lettuce and I asked for balsamic but received a container each of oil and a container of vinegar - not mixed. The gnocchi was actually inedible - like gummy and hard to swallow. Drink was good but for $15 at least make it pretty and put a garnish in it. I cannot believe I just spent $60 and ate maybe 10 bites between the salad and 'gnocch'. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! We went once before and I remember the pork chop was perfectly cooked. This time I had the crusted white fish and it was perfect! Fish is something I can be picky about but this was expertly cooked. We also ordered the bread rolls as an appetizer and I recommend the guada dip over the marinara. The ambiance is super unique and lovely for date night. The wait wasn't too long and service was attentive. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food and drinks are delicious. Staff are welcoming to my kiddo. One of my favorite places to take the lady on date night.

2nd time visiting this place while in Spokane and again, IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! The food is amazing, drinks are fabulous, and atmosphere is so fun! The only downside was that there was a show that night and the place was packed. We still received hot delicious food in a timely manner from an entertaining, friendly staff. Will be back! read more

10/10 would visit again! A happy accident that we found this place. The atmosphere and the food was great!

Ambiance was cute, small cozy aesthetic. Food was okay but definitely did not equate to price for me. Service was very slow, in a waiting way, not a paced course way. Two other tables on a weekday. I felt like noone noticed me for quite some time after I was sat. The host waited on me while the bartender addressed everyone else. read more

We were out walking to another place to eat. When we got there we realized that place was no-longer in business. THAT'S when we smelt the food being cooked here. Just missing the happy hour window we were seated by our server. Offer choice of seating. Nice atmosphere and cozy entertainment. Food selection was great! The duck wings are a must try! read more

Outstanding all around! The food is EXCELLENT and is well seasoned, well prepared, and comes out hot and fresh. We got the deviled eggs (delicious!), the flatbread, burger, tots, and schnitzel and everything was top notch and delicious. Drinks were amazing too. Service was friendly and we were promptly seated (we did make a reservation). The decor and atmosphere is comfy and cozy with a kitschy vibe. Overall across the board our dinner was wonderful and we highly recommend and can't wait to come back! read more

We SO wanted to love this place, we really did. We had heard so many great things about it. Unfortunately, our Valentine's Day experience wasn't as wonderful as we'd hoped. First, the good...The cocktails and ceasar salad were excellent, and the service was good, not great, but good. The building is super cool with lots of interesting architectural interest. The prices are also reasonable. Now, the not so good...We made Valentine's Day reservations several months ago, yet found ourselves at a fairly crowded, uncomfortable table right by the kitchen. Secondly, the entrées were disappointing. I had the shrimp scampi which had way too much red pepper, and was actually too spicy for me to eat. Not what you'd expect with shrimp scampi. My husband had the gnocchi, which was just mediocre. We both love gnocchi, just not this one. We can't totally put our finger on it, the flavor of the sauce just wasn't great. Sorry Gilded Unicorn, we won't hurry back. read more

Nice attempt but... no. Nice people but it felt like ... as if your kids were trying to Host a fancy dinner for you and you really appreciate the attempt but not the price tag. Then, all of their college friends crash the party and they have no idea what fancy us and the value of money and so think that's it's awesome. All the while, the ambience is stale, service stressed, drinks come late, no delicious smells from the kitchen, no candlelight (for a place with a midevil ish vibe you'd think there'd be a flicker) . Huge disappointment. read more

Our waitress (the blonde) was super kind and attentive. The food was amazing and we wouldn't change a single thing. Thank you guys for making sure we had a great night! read more

Yep you need to go here as soon as possible. Reasons: There's a happy hour and their drink list is impressive. Food was delicious. Tater tot casserole wouldn't usually be on my radar but wow it was fabulous. Very ~ elevated ~ The deviled eggs are so good!!! I could have eaten 6 myself. Everyone at the table got an order. We are egg eating people!!! Server was attentive and super nice. We were sat immediately. We made a reservation since it was restaurant week. Vibes are super cool, you walk in and head down the stairs. Tall brick walls, cool light fixtures, very cozy. Apparently there's like 21 hidden unicorns around. Try to find them all. read more

We have extra family over and decided to take them out for dinner and settled on trying The Gilded Unicorn for the first time. None of our party of 6 was disappointed. Our drinks, starters and entrees were all delicious, served hot and in a very timely manner. There is a casual but upscale quality to the restaurant and was a bit loud but only because people were having a great time. Our waiter although busy, kept up with all of our needs and was very pleasant. I would highly recommend dinner here to anyone. read more

This place was surprisingly good. It is perfect for dinner before going to The Fox. Happy hour is 3 - 5 Monday through Thursday. Had a great pale ale for $5. My wife had a cider and a Guinevere, each for $5. I also had a Do I Dare at full price, $15. Rare to find a cocktail with Fernet. Both cocktails were will crafted. Both the butternut squash soup and chili were good and flavorful, especially the soup. The Rangoons were meh. The bocce rolls were better, but were really just a good doughy bread. Surprisingly, the carrot salad was delicious. Who would have expected? Cooked well. Nice glaze. A variety of carrots. The gelato was very good. Two tangy flavors. Our server was good and willing to make suggestions. No complaints, though he did seem frantic. I liked the ambiance, but it is underground. Also, I would be significantly less impressed if I were in the auxiliary room. read more

Came here with a co-worker for dinner. I wasn't that hungry, so I just had a chicken salad, which was ok. I did have a mocktail that was made from lemonade and maybe some peaberry tea. It was good. My coworker had an old fashioned, and she liked it. We also had a pretzel as an appetizer, and it was delicious. It comes with a beer cheese. I did like the ambiance of this place. It is located on the basement, so you go down the stairs from the entrance. It gives off the vibe of a hunter lodge or something. It was a cool experience. read more

OVERALL: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Love the Bavarian quirky set up and theme. Feels like you escape Spokane to another country. Drinks: 4/5 Drinks match the quirk. The Burning Bush was SO GOOD, but two others we tried were so sweet and almost medicinal. Food: 2.5/5 if the food was better, I would be back often! My dish came out cold, the melted cheese had already congealed. Flavors were pretty bland. Really enjoyed the unconventional menu items though. I loved the deviled eggs. Service: 3/5 took an hour to take our dinner order. We ordered drinks first, but usually you have drinks for when you're waiting for your entree, not drinks for an hour, then order. read more

Gilded Unicorn - Used to love this place but have been twice in last month and service was terrible. Seems like lots new staff. Last visit the hostess sent us upstairs to Griffin while waiting for table and Griffin said it was a 30 min wait for a drink or drink card and to tell hostess to stop sending people upstairs. Got text to finally seat our 4 top but hostess wrote 2 top so we had to shuffle tables and chairs it was uncomfortable but we made it work. Went to restroom and there was a server standing leaning on counter on her phone. Came out of stall and had to ask her to move so I could get to sink to wash hands. Total oblivion. Meanwhile our server was nice but didn't come around much. Beers took 15 min to get. Drinks were faster then beer but very hard to get another. The food was still very good but man the service has gone down hill. Will find new place as our go-to fave. read more

Make sure you come here during happy hour to take advantage of the drink and food deals. It's located below street level and the interior is dark and had that old European feel. We ordered some mixed drinks and the beer is also discounted. They had a lot to choose from on their happy hour food menu and everything we ordered was so delicious, no complaints at all. read more

I don't normally leave negative reviews, but the experience we had here was disappointing enough to warrant one. My friend and I stopped in for a quick drink and an appetizer, and from the moment we ordered, it was clear our server wasn't happy with us. They got visibly frustrated that we didn't order more, and their attitude was unprofessional the entire time. The final straw was when they threw the check down on our table without a word -- extremely rude and unnecessary. We came in to enjoy ourselves and left feeling unwelcome. Definitely won't be returning. EDIT: Our server was Bradley read more

I'm so obsessed with the vibe of this place. They're located downstairs and as soon as you start descending, you get the best old building smell ever which just adds to it. It's decorated very tastefully in a kind of medieval/modern way and their drinks are named appropriately. I had the Guinevere - a grapefruit/vodka concoction. It was delightful, but a little sweet for my taste. We weren't in much of mood for food at 3 PM, but they have a great appetizer menu as well. Can't wait to come back and try the other drinks on the menu! read more
