This place is AMAZING. We have been a handful of times now, and every time we love it. It's located in the back of Little Noodle, so my review for both is the same (: FOOD & DRINKS: for drinks, we had the pear old fashioned and berry blossom. Both of the drinks are very good and beautifully presented. Definitely craft cocktails. We started with the musubi (tofu and spam) and roti canai. The musubi was good but nothing super special. The sauce with the roti canai was soooooo yummy! For entrees, we ordered the pho with tri-tip and ramen with tofu. They were both delicious. The pho was personally my favorite, good flavors and good spice level when adding the jalapeños. Just good, simple food. Also, I have gotten the kimchi udon in the past, and wow, that stuff is delicious. SERVICE: okay, the SERVICE is the absolute best part of this place. The first few times we had Kadra, and she was so friendly and made fantastic drinks. Tonight, we had Steph, such an attentive bartender, and made for great conversation. I would go back just for the amazing drinks and service alone! AMBIANCE: Itty Bitty Buddha is so so cute. Very quaint and unique. It's a similar size to Baby Bar, if you've ever been there, but more elevated. You order at the counter in the main dining area, so if you're looking for a fancy upscale dining experience, this is simply not the place. PRICE: The price is pretty standard - craft cocktails for $11-14, entrees for $12-20 depending on what you order. The portions are large, so it's well worth the money. OVERALL: Our experience is always top notch and we will continue to keep going back!

I had heard really nice things about this place from my friends. I think the decor and ambiance of the restaurant and bar were very fun. I liked the vibe. We made the mistake of ordering food and drinks at the same time. We got our drinks and they were really bad. I thought we got the wrong drinks. I confirmed with the bartender they were correct. So we suffered through them. Had we not ordered food we would have left immediately. The food was ok but very bland. I really wanted to like this place but sadly we won't be coming back and I can't recommend the drinks or food. Hopefully it improves.

Cease & Desist Book Club feels like the kind of place you discover once and immediately want to…read morebring people back to. The whole atmosphere is dark, cozy, moody, and feels more like a hidden lounge than a typical downtown bar. Between the lighting, music, books, and dramatic cocktail menus, the vibe alone makes the place worth visiting. We tried the espresso martini, Painkiller, and Bloody Verde. The espresso martini was smooth and easy to drink without being overly sweet, and the Painkiller had that creamy tropical flavor that somehow still worked with the darker speakeasy atmosphere. Keeping it honest though, the Bloody Verde just wasn't for me personally. I can still appreciate the creativity behind it, but the flavor combo just didn't match my taste buds. That being said, if you like savory spicy cocktails, you'd probably feel very differently about it. Service was friendly, drinks came out looking great, and the music really tied the whole experience together. Definitely feels like one of Spokane's more unique cocktail spots if you want something moodier and more relaxed.

The tater tots with the sauce on top were also a standout and something I'd order again without hesitation. That said, the service wasn't the best, especially for a first visit. I had a few questions about the menu and drinks, but our server seemed rushed and a bit annoyed, which made the experience feel less welcoming. Ordering drinks felt a little hurried, and while my husband really enjoyed his, mine were just okay. Overall, the food was great and the atmosphere is worth checking out, but I do wish the service had been a bit more attentive and helpful, especially for someone new to the place.

Our four-top chatted over our fun & delish drinks, as well as, our simply delicious dishes. Each bar back or server was smiling and genuinely seemed happy to be there! I hop to travel from Wisconsin back here soon and definitely share this speak-easy-esque with others going that way. Get the ramen! Try the drinks {both alcoholic and nonalcoholic (pictured)}. You won't be disappointed here. Thanks for being an inclusive & elevated restaurant.

Robert welcomed us in and said Yes! they were still serving food. It was Sunday at 9:30pm and that was the theme: Yes! We felt welcomed and appreciated. Robert even custom-crafted my drink order. Thank you Robert, you made our experience truly wonderful! The food we ordered was excellent, not too heavy, perfect for a light snack. Highly recommend! I hope the management of this restaurant will recognize the positive impact of an employee like Robert and value him appropriately.

The atmosphere was really enjoyable -- the space has a great vibe, the drinks were well made, and overall it feels like somewhere that could become a favorite spot downtown. The food was decent as well, though not especially memorable. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the positives. From the moment we walked in, we felt more like an inconvenience than welcomed guests. The host greeted us while remaining seated at the bar and simply told us to "sit anywhere," which immediately set an odd tone. When I asked for paper menus, I was told they only use QR codes. Normally that wouldn't be a huge issue, but the menu was around 15 pages long with tiny font, making it frustrating to navigate on a phone. Once our food arrived, we essentially never saw our server again. No check-ins, no refill offers, no asking if we wanted another round of drinks -- nothing. Meanwhile, staff members were gathered at the bar loudly talking among themselves and openly complaining about being there, which was uncomfortable to listen to as customers trying to enjoy a night out. Eventually, we had to walk up to the front bar ourselves just to pay our bill. That was the most disappointing part because the restaurant truly has the foundation to be excellent. The ambiance and drinks are already there, but hospitality matters just as much as the food. A little attentiveness and genuine customer service would have completely changed the experience. We absolutely would have ordered more drinks and likely stayed longer if anyone had checked on us. Hopefully management takes service more seriously, because this place could be great with the right staff culture and attention to guests.

Our drinks were always full and she answered all our questions. She brought me beer samples to figure out which one I wanted. The waiter was busy but always greeted and said goodbye to all guests coming and going. Food 10/10 For the tablet we got calamari, the Durkins famous double cheeseburger and the fried bologna sandwich. The food was extremely fresh! The cheese was melted to perfection. We left with full bellies but not feeling heavy. The food was decadent but not greasy. My husband got a mocktail, spiced cranberry and it was fabulous! My husband and I can't wait to go back. We paid approximately $100 with tip, so it's not cheap, but WORTH IT for the quality of food and service.

Upon my encounter with one of the bartenders, I was told that they only had one burger. It was a double burger and it came with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a delicious pickle. The burger was spot-on and much better than I had anticipated. It was fairly large and filling and was cooked nicely. It came with some fries and a dipping sauce that always was a good adjunct to the burger. Burger came it to ~$25.00 which is expensive for a burger, but given inflation and the deliciousness this burger represented, I was satisfied. Ambiance-wise, it is a nice looking bar that serves food, and they make upscale drinks. Definitely was not planning on having drinks here, but the bartender was nice enough to agree to make me a royal aviation as they make regular aviations. I will definitely be back for that and I am looking forward to it. Highly recommend this place!

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...

On my first night, I sat at the bar and ordered a Grapefruit Drop before getting a burger to go. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and the drink was excellent. Bright, citrusy, and well balanced. The Table 13 Burger was fantastic, cooked just right with fresh toppings and crispy fries. I brought it back to my room and enjoyed it while catching up on email, and it hit the spot. The next night, I went back and ordered the same Grapefruit Drop again because I liked it so much. I tried the Fish and Chips this time, and it was delicious with crisp batter and tender fish. The slaw was crisp but mild, kind of the vanilla of slaws. It added texture but not much flavor. I finished with the Huckleberry River Cake, a creamy and tangy dessert with a rich berry sauce that was absolutely scrumptious. The atmosphere was relaxed. I was there on a work trip traveling solo and felt comfortable sitting at the bar. There were plenty of other guests talking and enjoying themselves, but it wasn't overly loud. Service was great both nights, and the location off the main lobby is convenient. The food was excellent, and the experience was consistently good. I would gladly eat here again.
