Mizuna has a quirky little entrance behind a curtain, and once you step inside, the atmosphere is fantastic. Exposed brick walls, bronzish art pieces, warm lighting--it feels stylish without trying too hard ( did not know restaurant is 30 years old) I was joining after a run, so I was probably a little underdressed . The general vibe is chic-casual, but I still felt completely comfortable and welcomed. My host was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the meal. I ordered the hanging tenderloin medium rare based on her recommendation, and she was also more than happy to add some greens on the side when I asked. I really appreciate that Mizuna makes a point of using vegetables from local farms. The dish almost reminded me of something you might get at a traditional Lyonnaise restaurant, but with a more modern and refined touch. The beet salad, though, was a piece of art. I would honestly come back just for this dish. The beets had an almost candied quality without being overly sweet, and they worked beautifully with the freshness of the mint and the creamy chèvre mousse. Fantastic balance of flavors and textures. Great atmosphere, genuinely warm hospitality, and food that feels thoughtful without being overly complicated. Mizuna was a really enjoyable surprise. read more

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but Lily absolutely deserves the recognition. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel like the most important table in the room. Her warmth was genuine, her recommendations were spot-on, and she had an incredible ability to anticipate what we needed before we even asked. Lily checked in at just the right moments -- never intrusive, never absent. She remembered details from earlier in the conversation, kept the energy upbeat, and handled a small mix-up with our order with total grace and a smile. That kind of poise is rare. If you're lucky enough to be seated in Lily's section, you're in for a treat. She's the kind of server who turns a good meal into a genuinely memorable experience. We'll absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for her by name! read more

Always have to start with the service, very good high quality service. Not too much but there when needed. We had a group of eight and there was a lot of "not ready yet" which the staff handled with ease. Food came out quickly but mostly all at the same time. We had a few items that came out later but it was reasonable and expected. Ambiance is very nice, simple but elegant. You would feel comfortable coming in dressed up or casual. Let's get to the nitty gritty, the food quality was very good, taste was a knock out. The pasta and sauce was good enough that I was looking for specific tastes so I could recreate it, that's what I hope for in a restaurant! And there was fresh bread, oh how I could wax poetic about fresh bread and so few restaurants are on this very simple add. Dessert - I'm always hypercritical of crème brûle because like bread it's pretty simple ingredients but takes some care, Muzuna's nailed it. All in all you should stop in for dinner and you won't be disappointed! read more

We came here while in town visiting some family. The wait staff were really nice and did a good job taking care of us. The food was good but it was not amazing, in my opinion. They plated it very beautifully so that it felt very fancy which was nice but it was still very expensive for what you get. It also took a long time for our our food to come out even though it wasn't super busy at the time. read more

We came in as a large birthday party and we all had an outstanding time. I can not remember such great meal and staff. Our water glasses and beverages were always full. We ordered food from across the board Every dinner was top notch. This we'll be our new go to family celebration place. Bravo read more

Expensive food, seems to be just for the sake of being expensive, but you can see that by looking at the menu prices. Steak was over charred and gave a burnt taste. Maybe I just don't like fancy restaurants. Service was very good, but I care more about the food. It certainly should have a $$$$ rating instead of $$$. read more

Three of us had dinner reservations at 6:30pm last night. Our order arrived at the table after 8:00pm. The seared sea scallops were slightly charred, the risotto was bland (excess butter from the scallops) and the asparagus was over cooked (charred) We were offered no reason for the late food arrival until we asked, and then were told a variety of reasons: reduced kitchen staff; reduced servers; too many walk-ins. There are a lot of restaurants in Spokane that are not open on Mondays. Perhaps Mizuna should be one of them? read more

Food was pretty good but nothing blew our minds. The smoked trout appetizer was good and no complaints about the actual food. This place lost stars on the service and timing. My son and his friend showed up early to our reservation and were sat at our table but not offered a beverage or appetizer & completely ignored until we got there 30 minutes later. When it came to dinner our group's pasta entrees were served 20 minutes before others received their steaks, which made for a very awkward dining experience. At this price point they need to do much better. read more

Second time here! We love this place. This is our night out place. This is a farm fresh bistro, amazing flavor combinations great service (Lisa is wonderful!) and kid friendly. We got the grilled cheese and apples for our kiddo, made with delicious flavorful cheeses for kids who like flavor! Our kid does. Crab cakes, chicken shiitake wraps and beet salad are incredible. Top it off with a root beer float amazing! read more

Mizuna - Result of happy faces from dinner!! - New American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Came here for my wedding anniversary dinner. The clams appetizer was the star of my meal, highly recommend! I found out they were out of scallops when I ordered my entree, though, which was pretty disappointing; it would have been better to hear about that earlier. The waitress suggested a pasta special in place of it, but I ended up going with the steelhead trout entree instead. The trout was fully rare when I got it...I had to ask for it to be re-fired to medium (I can handle fish at medium rare but not rare, unless it's sashimi). They were quick and accommodating about that request and the trout was delicious. The mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side were great. Overall, the experience was really good but not quite excellent. read more

Mizuna - Paper plane cocktail (top) and Old-Fashioned (bottom). - New American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Had dinner week of August 2nd, 2026. Excellent hostess, nice table, and ambiance. Very nice waitress informative, proper attention to details, offered bread and olive oil/balsamic vinegar dip. Vegetarian meatloaf was excellent with good side dishes. Halibut was 6oz, very tender, light, tasty with good sauce;but no real side vegetable at all and left us disappointed for a $39 dish. Chicken was also excellent though small, flavorful with nice side dish. I would go again but choose wisely as for the price some dishes are really not worth it-especially when you consider how inexpensive it is to have either greens or potato side dish. read more

Parking was difficult to find. Street parking only. The table set up for our large party was done weirdly; we were put very close to other tables, and even though they knew I was going to be with a service dog, there was no safe place for him to sit. He was stepped on, tripped over, and accidentally kicked by a variety of staff. The service itself was good. Friendly and patient. The food was good too-- the creme brulee was huge and definitely shareable size. We all enjoyed our meals. read more

We loved the vibe at Mizuna - very cool ambience! Easy walk from the Davenport Grand made it even better. Our server was lovely but she was unfortunately playing role of server and bartender - this made for some very slow service! The food was good but not amazing given the prices.

Very good service and good food but a little high priced for what you get. I may go there for a special occasion but not just to dine out.

We came here for a winter birthday. It was dimly lit inside which gave it kind of a romantic feel. I feel like the tables were too close to each other since when I got up I couldn't push my chair all the way back to get out . I did like the exposed red brick walls and local art displayed. The bread paired with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is always delicious at any place that serves it. We were a larger group and hungry so I appreciated them filling the bread basket and oil dip. I showed up a little late so I can't remember what the group ordered for appetizers, but it was good. For my main course I stuck with what I know will be good which is the steak and potatoes. My steak was cooked perfectly and medium rare. I have never had a New York and it was quite tender. I was quite surprised that I received more than a few asparagus spears and a dollop of mashed potato's. Which is always a bonus. The Gorgonzola mashed potatoes were delicious. Very creamy with a hint of cheese. The mashed potatoes were the star of the dish. I did also really like the assortment of mushrooms on top as well. Everyone in the group ordered different items. A couple of people ordered the duck special, the scallops, and the salmon. One ordered the salad and returned it because there wasn't enough dressing, and wasn't satisfied with the quality of the salad for the price. They all said their food was just okay. I enjoyed my steak and potatoes. Overall my food was good. But if I were going to go out for steak I would go somewhere else like Wolf Lodge or Churchhills. read more

Mizuna - New York steak with asparagus and Gorgonzola mashed potatoes - New American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We had a reservation for the Sunday night after Christmas and prior to the new year. Our schedule changed the very day of our reservation and they were able to accommodate our party and back us up to 6 PM even though we were a group of seven. The dining room was cozy and comfortable and not particularly full that particular night. My sister and I both had the sea scallops which were excellent and my daughter had the pork chop. It was large enough that she only ate half and then enjoyed the next half of it the following day at lunch. Service was excellent and we will definitely return the next time we are in Spokane! read more

Fortunately, we made a reservation for a Friday night, and the place was completely packed! My son-in-law's dish of polenta, Portobello and Gorgonzola sauce was really amazing. My husband's seafood pasta was incredibly good and my daughters meatless meatloaf and Gorgonzola potatoes was amazing. I had the spring greens pilaf. It was "ok" definitely not worth 21.00+. But the service was Stellar! read more

1. We lucked out for a last minute reservation before a big venue at 1st Interstate theater. 2. Even though all staff were super busy we were waited on within a few minutes of sitting down. They served bread with oil and balsamic vinegar dipping sauce. 3. I had the shiitaki mushroom appetizer, beet salad and my other half had trout that came with polenta and asparagus l. We wanted a light meal, but the portions were so generous we were stuffed at the end of the meal. The Merlot wine was pretty good, too! read more

If you are in the area don't miss this restaurant. It was honestly one of the top 5 meals I have ever had. I sat down outside and there were two menus one normal and the second vegetarian. I saw several things on both menus that sounded appealing but then the waitress mention the daily specials and one sounded really good so I went with that. I wish I knew all the ingredients or the name of the dish but she just told it to me so I have nothing to go on. It was a Pappardelle dish with spinach, mushrooms, feta cheese and the most interesting grilled white nectarines. I have never had grilled fruit with pasta before but it was incredible. The flavors worked so well with it all it as absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go back to this restaurant the next time I am in town and I hope they have that again. If not I'm sure everything is incredible on their menu. read more

Mizuna - Daily special was one of the best 5 meals I have ever had - New American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing ambience. I went with a group of about 15 people, and it was a great experience.

Felt a little guilty showing up 30 minutes before they closed but they seated us with a smile, and our service was prompt, friendly and we were out before other tables who had been there before us. Nice place, good food, nice people. We ordered three appetizers and devoured it all. We didn't want anything heavy that late. Will definitely come again when we can enjoy a full meal and drinks here read more

Excellent food prepared with care in every way. Fabulous cocktails and great service. A local treasure.

We were seated promptly for our reservation. There's a good parking lot nearby. Servers were great. Many options for gluten free vegetarians which was much appreciated. Our meal started with bread and oil/vinegar mix on a plate. I feel like they could have done this better. Some seasonings. A pinch of crushed red pepper. Something that makes this more than the two ingredients we can do for ourselves at home any day of the week. Also, the gluten free bread was a sandwich bread...looked like cheap Franz gluten free bread. They could and should do much better than this. Udi's makes a decent gluten free baguette. There's even a local place called Cole's that makes gluten free baguettes and you can get them frozen. There's zero excuse to be using cheap sandwich bread for your free appetizer. Appetizer we chose was the tacos. These were more like a fried quesadilla than a taco. We had just had the tacos at Wild Sage a couple nights ago and these just can't hold a candle to those. Wild Sage just did it better. I had the meatless meatloaf which was decent. Just decent. The Gorgonzola mashed potatoes had a lemon flavor to them. WHY?!?? Lemon didn't go at all. Just no. The grilled asparagus was PERFECT! So so good and nicely seasoned. The meatless meatloaf was tasty enough but they put a tomato chipotle paste on top that was wayyyyy spicier than I care for. And it also had too much of it. It tasted like it was basically tomato paste and too much powdered chipotle pepper. Tomato paste is intense and concentrated and you don't need much of it. I scraped it off the top. A hint of that stuff was plenty. Hubs had the crispy polenta dish that had a creamy Gorgonzola sauce over it, carrots (not rainbow as advertised), and portobello mushrooms. It was delicious! Frankly, they needed to put that creamy Gorgonzola sauce over my mashed potatoes. That would have been very welcome. For dessert we had the creme brûlée which was good. But, unfortunately, we went to Wild Sage a couple nights before this. And honestly, they just did everything better, so much so that the contrast was noticeable. Wild Sage has a homemade free appetizer for gluten free with lavender honey butter. Their creme brûlée was an authentic and amazing creme brûlée that had me in raptures at every bite. The one here was good but leaned more toward custard than creme brûlée. And the sugar was a bit too far burnt on one side. The truth is this was fine. Decent. Acceptable. But for the price!!! It should have been exceptional and it just wasn't. Wild Sage was truly exceptional. I was having fomo that maybe we had missed out on something great by not coming here yet but nope. We'd have been just fine not coming here. Missed nothing. At every step of our meal, we noticed small things that made this just ok and didn't elevate it to the level of amazing we were looking for. I'll be going back to Wild Sage in future. They know what five star looks like and tastes like. Mizuna hasn't figured that out yet. I could have made these same dishes at home myself and made them better. That's not the feeling you want when you eat out. read more

The food was great, and the service was timely and friendly. The atmosphere was pleasant.

We have been to this restaurant numerous times the food the staff and the owner are amazing people.

Be sure to order a glass of Pinot noir from Willamette Valley! Their food is so well balanced between savory and deep rich flavors I went back two nights in a row for their scallops and Risotto then finish your food orgasm journey with their bread pudding! read more

The atmosphere is nice and the staff is wonderful. Don't go here if you want healthy food or a decent selection. The menu is extremely limited, I ordered the overpriced chicken, which was swimming in butter, and full of skin, gristle and bones! My friend eats much better at her assisted living! I would say the food is worth less than half of what you pay. read more

I was visiting from out of town. Came to Spokane to spend my birthday weekend with my 2 son's. Not familiar with the area, my children's mom recommended Mizuna. The service- Both my boy's are now adults, but they also have autism. This sometimes triggers others to treat them like they're children. Our waitress directly engaged with them as if they were no different than any other normal adult. As if she couldn't even tell even though it's blatantly obvious. This encouraged my oldest to look directly at her and give his order with a clear and confident voice without stuttering. He even tossed in some hand gestures to over accentuate what he was saying. To the parents of kids on the spectrum, you know how huge this is. The food- Everything we ordered was awesome. The risotto balls, oven baked chicken, cashew crusted avocado noodles. The only let down was that they were out of the crème brûlée. The key lime and bread pudding definitely made up for it though. The drinks- I love me a good classic old fashioned. It's getting harder and harder these days to find an establishment that won't destroy this drink. The bartender came through on this one. My oldest son has a thing for espresso martini's. I asked him how it was and he responded with a double thumbs up. When it was time for the second and third drink, I just asked the waitress to get me whatever drinks she favored. Again she didn't disappoint. We finally ended the night with a couple shots of a very tasty espresso. The food, the drinks, and especially the awesome waitress (I wish I could remember her name). Grabbing something to eat turned into having a nice family dinner. read more

Back again to one of our favorite restaurants, I've heard some bad reviews about these scallops, so I wanted to try them for myself, but before I go there, we're going to dig into appetizers first. I got the ginger jalapeño crabcakes very savory and fresh with a little bit of cilantro. I love that tangy pop of the heat. My husband got the chicken and shiitake mushroom lettuce wraps. Those looked so good I had to try the chicken right away as it was put down beside me. I could smell that yummy teriyaki coming off of it. I also stole a couple of the mushrooms; they are so good don't tell anyone (Sorry, maybe you shouldn't sit so close) lol For a side salad, we got White cheddar and Apple salad was more on the bland side than the Grilled Ginger tofu. It had a sesame vinaigrette throughout, and was just god-sent so good I can go back there and order a large one, and I would be content. For entrées, My husband got the chicken. He said it was very juicy cooked perfectly; the Gorgonzola cream sauce that he got on the side was delicious. He was overall pretty impressed. Now finally, the scallops. I was hesitant about my first bite because of all the reviews lately that it's dry and grainy!! So there I was, cutting it in half, which I was pleasantly surprised that I got more than two scallops on my plate. I actually had five with a delicious rosemary risotto and chard asparagus. Anyways I was taking that bite into the scallop, waiting for this hard, grainy taste, and it was so perfect soft melted right your mouth amazing goodness one of the best scallops I've ever had I was so happy ordered this dish. // if you're ever in doubt, definitely order the scallops. They are great mouthwatering goodness. I don't know how I had room for some more food, so I got the crème brûlée which was good we always check that hardness to make sure it's there on the crust ;) Now my husband got the vegan carrot cake. I want to detail how it tasted because we had odd views on our table. So this is what I heard it's very wet, dense, moist, "healthy " we were trying to figure it out. Maybe they use a brown rice to make the cake and pineapple juice. It's a healthier take on a carrot cake, so don't expect your traditional sugar-filled cake that's not what you're going to get. My husband said he would definitely get it again. **Don't forget to ask for complimentary bread, olive oil, and balsamic They also have a very vast selection of wine and other alcoholic drinks read more

The food, the service, everything is always perfect here. The food is "fancy" but approachable and well priced for being one of the nicer restaurants in town. Laura was our server and was so sweet and even made a custom drink for us, the Keylime martini. It was the best one we've ever had! I hope they add it to their drink menu so that we can order it next time, too! Their patio is in the alley, but that doesn't describe it well, because it is very romantic. It is a great spot for either a date night or a fun girls night! For food, definitely order the crabcakes to start and the chicken with Gorgonzola cream sauce for dinner. Or any of their seafood dishes are always so good. Plus, they have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options! read more

Cute place with a nice brick wall. Loved the variety of vegetarian options. I can only speak to the vegan meatloaf because that is what I had, but if I could figure out how to get quinoa to taste like that I would have it a lot more often. Had a fantastic waitress as well. read more

We went to Mizuna for Valentine's day and I had to give it 4/5 overall. The atmosphere: I was coming in with the idea that this place would be rather romantic, maybe semi dark lighting, and maybe filled with hidden nooks. When we walked in I felt a bit awkward because it seems i caught a lot of peoples eye. I assume that's because we had to walk past and through a lot of people eating dinner so that can be a bit distracting. We were sat in a side room but the sectioned out layout was less "hidden nook" and more, let's put you in this awkward table that will make you feel slightly on display. Our seats were decent but there were many seats that looked less comfortable. I will say that the ramp to go from one room to another was great for accessibility reasons however the length of the ramp created an illusion that could make someone trip if they weren't looking at it since it's a bit long. for all of these reasons i took off one star, now let's get into what i did like! *added* i forgot that another reason i took off a star was because the host referred to us as "ladies" which makes a statement about the inclusivity & assuming gender. Customer service: our waitress was super accommodating and kind. she checked on us a healthy amount and we never were waiting for her too long, even on a night like vday. she knew the bar menu well and it made the experience great from the moment we sat in our seats. Food/Drink: the food was very very good! i got the chicken and my partner got the seafood pasta, we both were so happy with our meals. the drinks were great too, but be careful, they were STRONG. (however, i did to dry January so maybe i'm just a light weight) Anywhoo, i took pictures of the menu because i noticed there aren't any recent pictures of the update prices since the rise of inflation so hope it helps someone pick a place for dinner. read more

Really disappointing, tried pork belly, tuna poke and chicken wraps. The pork was pre cooked, the fish was soft, probably previously frozen, the chicken in the wraps was over salted.
