I adore Hunt. It's in a very old building with lots of history. The staircase you walk down is 125 years old. The many folks who have walked these stairs give me shivers. It feels like walking into an old beer cellar or something from a Wisconsin brewer's past. The food does not disappoint. I had the mushroom stroganoff and it was divine. The creamy sauce truly is a knock out and those mushrooms are sautéed to perfection. I wish I had taken a photo before my hungry bootahy ate it all. Listen up vegetarian peeps, you'll enjoy this dish. There're fun options for everyone. The barkeep definitely needs to be raved about. Hallie is knowledgeable and cares about the cocktail she prepares. She knows the classics and she'll work with any spirit needs you desire. She blended 2 rums for me to make a classic style daiquiri with a hint of the Plantation Pineapple Rum. That cocktail should just be named after the barkeep because she is as sweet as they come. The environment is a rad basement setting with all the speakeasy vibes but the staff make it warm as hell because of how inviting they are. They take reservations and they have cozy rooms for large get togethers. Do yourself a favor and get in here. You'll need to walk around some orange cones due to construction but you'll be glad you did. read more

Come here for your first stop when bar hopping and you probably will just end up staying here all night! My friend and I went here and the bartenders were so sweet. Thank you Ro, Natalie and Liz for taking care of us. Best part is there's an option for drinks called bartenders choice. Love the drink Ro made for me! It's a great surprise drink and the ambience is warm and inviting. 5/5 stars and would come again. read more

A lovely cellar find in Downtown Spokane. Friendly service and a cool sheltered ambiance. Lynn and Rueben were friendly and informative about the food menu as well as making us our cocktails. An Old Fasioned and a Gimlet to start, accompanied our Smash Burger as well as the Linguini with Mushrooms and cream. Olive Oil cake was delicious as dessert. Don't let the name sway you. If it's in the menu try it. A simple but satisfying meal on this chilly Friday. We arrived at opening, 4 pm, as we had other obligations. It wasn't crowded, but had began to have more patrons by the time we departed. Street parking was free this Veterans Day and there seemed to be plenty of it. read more

Hunt is downstairs and has a prohibition vibe. Excellent bartender and the drinks were incredible. I believe it was a basil cocktail. I would have it again. I had cassoulet + white beans + andouille sausage + confit duck leg. My German student had smoked chickpea curry + vadouvan + curry oil. And my buddy Mark had red beans & rice + andouille sausage + celery + bell pepper + cornbread. They were all excellent and well priced! Some of the best new food in town. Not an unhappy person among the four of us. Hunt is not like it sounds. I was first reluctant to go there because of the name. The ambiance didn't quite work for me and that is the 4-star rating. However, the atmosphere is nice and I suggest you give it a try. I will go back. read more

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the staff were attentive and friendly, the food was amazing; all around, an outstanding experience. I started with their classic French onion soup which was so flavorful and packed with hearty ingredients like beef broth & caramelized onions. For my main meal, I chose the salmon which was cooked to perfection! The flavor was unforgettable with a delicate balance of spices - definitely one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. To top off my meal, I opted for their warm apple crumble which melted in my mouth - absolutely delicious! From start to finish, Hunt Restaurant provided an amazing experience that left me wanting more. The quality of service and food is hard to beat! If you're ever in Spokane, WA make sure you pay them a visit - it's worth every penny. Highly recommended! read more

Attended a work dinner in the private dining room at Hunt. The room and table were nicely set and the decor attractive. I can see it being a nice venue for a special occasion, if you enjoy the food and/or if you're only having drinks. Our dedicated server was tremendous. She singlehandedly looked after our table of 20. The food was presented nicely and was prompt. The menu items looked wonderful, but sadly somehow the ingredients didn't come together to become delicious. read more

Absolutely going back! I think the bad reviews were from when the place was finding it's groove. (There are no beans on the menu anymore lol). We ordered about 6 things off the happy hour menu and drinks and a dessert. Wow! Loved all but one thing (brisket ramen). The s'mores were so pillowy and fun. The curry pancake was inventive and delicious. Knocked its out of the park with the smash burger. Go here! Not sure what the gorgeous room upstairs is for but it's gorgeous. read more

Hunt is among my favorite bars in town. Kind of a spooky vibe as you descend into the basement, it's lit mostly with candles and there's always a shot poured at the end of the bar as an offering for the ghosts. The drinks are amazing - Up The Stairs is my favorite on their current menu, but they're always changing. I went to their haunted bar event recently where they had live music, a fortune teller, and a gorgeous three course meal; Waldorf salad, shepherd's pie, and the BEST bread pudding I've ever had for dessert. The vibes were immaculate. Also if you really like burgers, this is the place to get one. They're consistently my favorite burgers in town. read more

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant. It was a waste. We went during restaurant week, one would think that would be a good opportunity to try a new place. Not so for this place. Service was great. Ambiance is fine but they aren't the only restaurant in a basement in spokane, Try the gilded unicorn if you wanna eat in a neat environment. Food was well under subpar. It was a horrible take on a French dip. Just very disappointing since eating out isn't something we do often at all. Anyway save your time go somewhere else. read more

Great drinks and atmosphere! The dimly lit atmosphere is very lovely. I don't eat meat and so I'm not the biggest fan of hunting. But I do appreciate the attention to detail in the design. I really love camping and the outdoors so I thought the tent room in the back was a really cool idea. I like all the wood as well. Very interesting place in a historic building. Definitely check it out! The food is prepared upstairs at ! read more

Had my birthday here two years ago and loved it! Got to snag a cozy room and fill it with great people. Everyone had such great service, the drinks were incredible and I've never had a better cut or taste of pork belly since! Very much so looking forward to a date night or group outing here again soon read more

Tried Hunt for the first time with a few friends. The atmosphere is really warm and cozy although the heat wasn't working so the actual temperature was cold. I expect that will improve The service was very good by friendly and attentive staff. Our food was served quickly and the portions were generous. The pimento cheese was especially good and something to share. We'll have to return to try other menu items before I can say what I think other than it seems that the chef is trying interesting ideas. The seating is the most uncomfortable I've found anywhere. Tall immobile wood stools screwed to the floor. Really really terrible. Change those out and this place would be way up on my list. read more

Walking down Riverside on a snowy evening, it just feels right to duck through the nondescript door and down the stairs to the cozy confines of Hunt's intimate, exposed-brick, speakeasy of an early 20th century basement. Behind the bar, Rue crafts creative cocktails tailored to the circumstances of the evening and your personal preference. The liquor selection walks a tightrope of vast breadth and coverage without feeling imposing or too highbrow. If you want a quality, well-made cocktail that doesn't break the bank, this is the place. If you're going to order a Pappy old fashioned, better head over to the Davenport where there's plenty of people to witness the extravagance. read more

Ambiance is good- bar is tucked away downstairs, and my waitress was very nice and attentive. The food that I ordered was OK - the burger was a little over-salted, and didnt come with any sides? I didnt realize that when ordering. I would hope for $19 something would come with it. I also had the honey shortbread and it was very dry and tasted like burnt toast. read more

Hunt was amazing! We tried multiple appetizers and entrees with our group, and everything was delicious! The service was wonderful! Marissa and Ashley were so friendly and knowlegde. The downstairs had fun ambiance. We really enjoyed our experience here and highly recommend it! read more

fuck this sex dungeon!!!!!!! we went here for dinner after an event at our business that is also located dt. after we struggled through our mid grade appetizers, and when i say mid grade i mean the fuckig midssssssss!!!!!! we ordered 2 varieties of mid grade crucnchy ass beans that must of been adopted from a recipe from the 1600's!!!!! i damm near broke a tooth !!!! crucially crunching baked beans will mess with you mind people!!! baked beans should be soft to the bite .... these beans bit back .... flavorless and hard as pre med calculus, these beans are weapons of mass destruction!!! they are the air soft pellets of beans . never order the beans !!!!!!!!!!! both beans dishes i ordered, and that was my mistake !! I would of been better off using them as ammunition then trying to eat them . after we were choked by these beans and some how managed a few bites of our supper , we paid the bill and went to leave . we noticed another dining room in the back and went to go check it out . this space looked amazing. i entered through a doorway and soon found myself trapped for 30 minutes behind a huge metal door that locked me in !!! staff couldn't find a way to let me out . they called the owner . he was mad at me!!!!!!!! no signs . no warnings not to touch this door. nothing. this place has terrible food and shitty owners . read more

I am so sad to report that we had an awful experience. We were really looking forward to checking this place out based on the website and other reviews. The decor is super cool and inviting for any outdoor enthusiast. With the intention of sitting at the bar and just getting drinks, we were greeted by a bartender who was put off that we did not have reservations. We shared that the bar would be fine and we were just there for drinks. She gave us menus and never came back. The other bartender seemed to avoid eye contact and never came to our end of the bar. We ended up leaving without being spoken to again. So, in all the decor was nice! read more

I was very excited to try the new place in town, especially since I heard they had a pretty great whiskey selection. We came on a Friday night and it was packed. They most definitely were understaffed as it took about 20 minutes to receive a menu. This is understandable for me as new restaurants tend to have a few kinks in the beginning weeks of opening. Other than that, our drinks and the staff were fantastic. The whiskey selection was amazing, with rare bottles from the owner's private collection. Hopefully they can work out the minor staff issues as this place has the potential of being super cool. We will definitely be back! read more

Awesome place! Low lit restaurant and bar great for date nights. The drinks are very well made and tasty. The food was also very good, I had the pork belly which was delicious although it was a little hard to cut as the rendered fat side was a little too crispy but the flavor was on point. I will definitely be going back! read more

This place is unique and I love that they serve the unusual game dishes! Each dish that I tried- Elk Chili, Duck leg Cassoulet, and the Smoked trout were very flavorful and beautifully prepared. The dishes are reasonably priced and the service was good. read more

One of my absolute favorite restaurants, I think reviews complaining about the food may not understand the aim or what they are trying to do. I think it is always spectacular with a farm to table approach that really highlights local cuisine and the region. Everyone agrees the ambiance or atmosphere is fantastic. I think anyone from your crunchy suburbanite to a staunch outdoors person would find the place appealing . The service considering Covid and construction in the area is always great in my book. If you have no patience go harass Teenagers at McDonalds. The staff are helpful kind and a pleasure to deal with. If you're just coming in for drinks you made a good choice the Cocktails are always delicious. If you have simple tastes you can still get what you need but my recommendation is don't miss out on a stellar part of the experience. It's my deepest hope that this place develops into and institution in Spokane and give it the recognition it deserves. read more

Recently had a poor experience for a birthday. Food was ok but terrible service. Apathetic staff. I could go on and on, but all of our party decided we won't be back :( read more

Ugh. I had such high hopes. The servers were friendly, but it was slow and ill-timed (for example, dessert came before the extra crackers for the dip and who wants salmon dip after dessert?) The CO2 went out so beer wasn't an option (no bottles) and my husband had to be the one to notice after the second sample. The fryer was out and some menu items listed weren't available. The food was tasty (elk burger and rabbit stroganoff), but portions were small. We would've definitely appreciated a discount for the rigmarole but none was offered. Shouldn't this place run more smoothly after being open 6wks? read more

Great atmosphere, good service, good drinks. Went in looking to get a nice meal and left a little bit unhappy their menu online or on yelp is completely inaccurate and there's only five entrée options along with five appetizer options. Probably would only go back for drinks. read more

Great food and cocktails in a unique and well designed setting. Ate at Hunt during food week, so had a limited menu but was able to try all of the dishes being with a group of 4. My favorites were the duck mousse, wild boar and Graham cracker ice cream. read more

We awkwardly waited to be acknowledged when we first arrived. Employees made eye contact but offered no help or greeting. After finally being seated it took almost 2 hours to get all of our food. The salad was soggy and missing ingredients. The chicken breast we ordered came out as a thigh that seemed like it had been microwaved. The food was cold. Overall it was a very dissapointing experience, especially after waiting so long. read more

The food here is interesting with more of a Wild game entree menu. The aesthetics of the place is warm with a lot of exposed rough wood ceilings and floors. The stools are lagged into the floor with small round wood tops which provide a great bleacher butt experience. The tables are small and not wide enough to provide a comfortable eating surface. Overall the environment is charming and comfortable but the seating is not. They provide a nice list of unique crafted cocktails which are pleasantly delicious! The food portions are small and not what you would expect for an entree type meal. I tried the wild boar schnitzel which was okay but heavily salted. Two drinks and an entree cost around $50.00 including the automatic 18% gratuity for groups of 6 and up. I found that pretty odd as it's usually for groups of 8 and up in the restaurant industry. Overall give it a try since it's new and I expect the quality and service to pick up as the kinks are worked out. read more

Hunt has a nice enough atmosphere. I wish the stools were movable. My friend and I shared the elk burger. When we ordered, we made it clear we were sharing and our waiter didn't bat an eye. The food came, our other friend ordered the rabbit stroganoff. When the elk burger came we could hardly contain our laughter at receiving our elk "burger" with an extra plate. The waiter also impressed, as he was able to deliver our shared food with a straight face. It was actually an elk slider served with no side. While the flavor was good (especially the bun), they do not have ketchup in the establishment. Of course, it would have needed very little based on its size. I had a nibble of the stroganoff, which I thought was delicious. But my friends thought it was too salty. They each had a Sazerac, while I enjoyed the red blend...both were very nice. Don't go expecting to share or if you are super hungry. I wish I read the another spot-on review regarding the size of the elk burger prior to our decision to share. I should add, I'd probably pay $15 for the duck, but that elk slider was not worth $15 (except for the humor). We ended our appetizer course at Hunt, with a delicious meal at the El Que in brownes addition. read more

Truly disappointing. It was completely dead when we arrived and a two top came in right behind us. We were waiting for the rest of our party, and the two top went and sat somewhere else. There was one bartender and one server, and the serve didn't even turn around and let the couple know she would be right with them or anything, she was doing something at the register. The two top comes back around after 15 min. and asks " are we good to sit back here?" and the bartender says yes, we'll be right with you. The server still doesn't acknowledge this group. The remainder of our party arrives, the bartender seats us and we go without food menus for at least 15 min. Really frustrating, we finally ask for menus, and for most of the time, the bartender is serving us. Until we're ready to order food and finally the waiter arrives. She was very kind, but we did not feel like they wanted us to be there. I even mentioned it was a special occasion, and there still wasn't any rush or urgency to make sure we had menus, waters, anything. We spent $200 at your restaurant, and the food was okay, it was not as warm as I would have liked, but thats fine. I do expect more from your service, especially at your prices. read more

I was a guest there last night for Restuarant Week, great concept, ideas, and execution on all of the dishes. I wish the food would have been a little warmer in temperature. I will definitely return again at a later date, service I hope improves. I'm excited about trying their other place Eyvind next week with friends. I wasn't much of a fan of Chef Browns....RUINS....but very impressed with the Hunt Foodstuffs, If service was better and food would have been HOT It would have rated 4 1/2....5 Stars love the decor and ambience. read more
