We are from out of town, and this restaurant is across the street from out hotel so we decided to try it. I'm glad we did! Our server, Danielle, was so warm, energetic and fun. She gave us fantastic entree recommendations. We decided on the Caprese Barrata and the Brisket, and shared both. The brisket was freshly smoked, had robust flavor, and was lean. It was accompanied by a creamy coleslaw slaw and some penne pasta Mac and cheese. The Caprese burrata came with a red pesto, toasted baguette, fresh basil leaves, fresh mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes. Both dishes were delicious. We felt welcomed by the entire staff, from the front of the house, the bartenders, and of course our server. Highly recommended! read more

The only restaurant within walking distance of the Ruby River Hotel...well, its literally IN the hotel. We have a mixed review for this place. (July 2026) Dinner was a bad experience. We met our server and loved the guy...and then...There was a party of 20+ placed next to us and another couple and the noise level went through the roof. The other party asked to be moved because they, "couldn't hear themselves think". We rushed through dinner and just left. This could have been handled better...a party that large perhaps could be in one of the private rooms? Maybe more waiters? Our server (Daniel) got slammed with the large party and once they were seated didn't have much time to service the other tables in his section. Making the service poor for us and the others. It's totally NOT his fault, but it was whoever is running the restaurant or allowing very large parties like that in the main dining area without extra help. Not having much of a choice we came back for breakfast first thing in the morning so we could leave the hotel as soon as possible. It wasn't very busy and the service was MUCH better than the evening before. It was delightful to hear each other talk and to be able to speak in normal tones. Prices were a little high for the value. read more

It's a hotel restaurant. With hotel food. Expect your food to taste like free hotel breakfast: rubbery and gross. The location, however, is unbeatable. It's the best patio in all of Spokane. If you're looking for drinks on a patio, this is the place. But I warn you, do not order food. read more

Had to refill my own water twice. Ordered the pulled pork sandwich and I love coleslaw, it came with a few pieces of cabbage. Do not pay the fee extra bucks for truffle fries, waste of money read more

Osprey has always been a terrific experience with very attentive staff. In particular David T., has been very welcoming and has a terrific personality. Happy hour food (Burrata capture and wings) and drink has a broad offering and is always excellent. For BBQ rib dinner is especially terrific with tender and tasty meet. We've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed and it goes without saying...the view is awesome! Cheers! read more

This place is a restaurant in a hotel. Ask for Jessica to be your waitress. Usually wing bones that are brown and not opaque, is a no go for me. That is a sign of precooked wings that are recooked per an order. This wings had that aesthetic. I've ate buffalo wings since they became popular in the mid 90's and started showing up on every restaurants menu. Except for the unseasoned wings served at big chains...BWW, Applebee's, and Wing Stop, they usually don't have that issue cause the business model is designed for quick and heavy turnover. I'm assuming after being brined these wings are precooked too. I can make an exception because these are the most flavorful wings. Ask for Jessica to be your waitress. These amber hued crispy wings are flavored from the inside out. The brine sets these wings apart from any wing that I've had from the TriState area....including the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY to wings in Thailand, Texas, Victoria, BC or wings from a Chinese joint in Toronto. These wings may have only been hitting on this day, cause the reviews for the restaurant as a whole are mid. I'm talking about the wings only....they are the best I've had, definitely in this state. I love a good naked wing with buffalo and blue cheese on the side. Oh, the best sauce and blue cheese with crumbles I've ever had is the extra hot at the Loose Wheel in Tacoma and Puyallup. Their wings aren't as good as this place. For me blue cheese is mandatory with buffalo. I'll do ranch if it is on Wing Stop level and made with a proper blend of buttermilk, sour cream, and mayo. Basically homemade and not Hidden Valley from the container. Ask for Jessica to be your waitress. I'm hoping this is how they always do their wings, because I hate misleading folks to spend their hard earned money on nasty food. For $15 for a pound (10 wings approx.) during HH. Go get these wings. Oh, and ask for Jessica. read more

Very disrespectful. Very disappointing. Disgusting service. The waiters literally rolled eyes at us, annoyed at our party. Sevana and Jada upon "setting up" our chairs, in the most sarcastic of tone, said here you go, served with the largest eye roll, aggressively pushing in the chairs as if they are doing us a favor??! Very sorry for the fact that we are a large party, respectfully celebrating a win at a Junior Olympic competition. We made a reservation far in advance for 30 people. You took our reservation willingly. We requested outside seating, you chose to seat us inside. I'm very sorry you could hear us in the kitchen. Seems like seating us inside was a bad decision on your part. But with all do respect, we shouldn't have to apologize for patronizing your restaurant. read more

Our experience at Osprey was average. Great skyline views of Spokane river and gondolas. Outdoor patio, live music and people enjoying their evening. Love to hear combination of Wicked Game, Eagles, and CCR during dinner. Service was fine upon taking the order however the waiter was no where to be found during the meal to check in on us or provide us with more water. Food was decent. I ordered the steak that was cooked unevenly, more medium well than medium rare. Brussels sprouts was mushy and there only a few pieces on the plate. Came with side of fries. The shrimp linguine was cooked beautifully and tasted great. Too much pesto sauce but you can scoop that out. read more

3/5. On our way to the restaurant we were arriving early as reservations requested however my brother noticed we received an email 20 minutes prior to our reservation that the reservation was cancelled....We immediately called as we were on the road and almost there. They told us via phone it was not cancelled and there must be confusion even though my brother received a cancellation email....Odd. The restaurant is inside of a hotel and in the entrance it will be to the right. We got to the hostess desk and she had to take a minute to find our reservation name. Making reservations here seems to be chaotic tbh...not impressed. As for the food, with Christmas Day they had a holiday Christmas dinner menu. We all chose water for our beverages and 3 starters. We chose the Truffle Fries, Caesar salad, and Smoked Salmon Cakes. The salmon cakes were devoured quickly and truffle fries were good but not finished. Caesar salad was standard but still tasty. My mom and brother enjoyed the croutons. For the main course my brother and I both chose the Pesto Prawn Linguine. My mom ordered the Blackened Salmon which she said was good but we all were disappointed to see the smear of mashed potatoes. I get it...Osprey is supposed to be more fine dining and bougie but honestly one bite of mashed potatoes for the price you're paying is not even laughable...it's ridiculous. So I wouldn't consider the mashed potatoes on her plate to even be a side...it was more of a dollop. The Pesto Prawn linguine however was sooo yummy and creamy. The Prawns were great quality and huge. We both had leftovers and finished them later that night. We enjoyed our dish but a little upsetting my mother's dish was a bit disappointing. Dessert we chose the pumpkin pie and crème brûlée which were both tasty. The pumpkin pie crust was the perfect texture and soft and flaky. Service was okay. Our sever was kind and funny when we pointed out the spelling mistakes on the signage on tables and everywhere in the hotel. She agreed it was ridiculous to pay the big bucks but have silly spelling mistakes be put out and no revisions or review. To me that is just embarrassing and a let down. We made reservations to a nice hotel restaurant and they can't even spell or use autocorrect. Overall we enjoyed our Christmas meal and thank you to the staff for working on a holiday! read more

Come for the view. It was an absolutely beautiful day, so I scrapped my original plans and headed to Osprey to enjoy a late lunch on the patio. Looking it up, I was unaware that this is a hotel restaurant. I left my hotel (that has a nice restaurant) to come to another hotel restaurant. That was a bummer, but I wanted to sit and see the river. I was given a lunch menu and a happy hour menu. I ordered a French 75 and a burger. They were...fine. The drink was VERY heavy on the lemon juice. I wasn't asked how I wanted the burger cooked, it came out well done. And under seasoned. It is a large burger and looked impressive, but it was just a hotel restaurant burger. Forgettable and expensive. The waiter didn't seem to want to actually walk to my table, he kind of hollered questions at me from behind me. The door was to my back and I was facing the river. He asked me for my card before he brought the bill. I should have gone with my original plans...but..the view. Though next time I am in town, I may just order takeout from somewhere and have a little picnic by the water. read more

First, I should say that the service was very good. The food and drink, on the other hand, was horrible. French fries were bad. Sandwiches so soggy they could not be held. The chicken mac & cheese was inedible. And the gin & tonic I had was the worst I have had in my life. How can you screw up a gin & tonic. I won't return read more

We came in with high expectations because of the reviews, but were quite disappointed. I had the brisket and my wife had the prime rib. First mine... the brisket was average and very fatty. The flavor was just ok, the mac and cheese that it came with was not very good, the pasta was not quite al-dente, a little tough and the cheese was watery. Its kinds sad to say the cornbread was the best part of the meal. Now hers, the rare prime rib was again, average, but the edges were so salty to be inedible. The seasonal vegetables were crunchy and barely warm, and her caesar salad, like my cornbread was the best part of her meal. I will just say this, there are many other eating options in spokane... pick one of them, I won't come back here. David, our server, seemed disinterested in us or our desires. He did the minimum expected from a server. read more

Salmon Caesar Salad is fresh & excellent. Salmon was a generous serving. Service was good, sit outside on the deck on a nice day.

Love this place. Definitely prefer when we can sit outside and enjoy the good weather and the river view. We've been there a few times and lucked out getting the same server both times we've been outside. He's worked there for a long time, has a great personality but I can't recall his name! We always come at odd times so it's not as crowded as we've seen it get there. Love all the happy hour menu options. They have a delicious rose frozé, but it's a little sweet, which is Fine on a hot day. We got wings, hummus, pork tacos, chicken tacos and fries. We were a group of 5 and were so full. It was all great! read more

Certainly a popular place and a lovely location as well. We arrived with a large party and were seated quickly. The server(s) all seemed a bit rushed and hectic. The kitchen is in an awkward place leading to somewhat dangerous cross traffic in the waiting area. The menu contains a lot of variety and for the meat and fish eater, seems adequate. But there is not much for the vegetarian. I ordered the falafel and tabouleh plate and it was not very well spiced. Maybe another try in the future. read more

Excellent! Primo please make sure you tip. The waitress ( sarah) chilled the water glasses and she heated up the coffee cup. Had eggs benedict smoked salmon. I couldn't find a font in it. It was absolutely perfect. Potatoes were nice and crunchy and crispy price was absolutely reasonable. Food came in a very fast rate. I don't know why you're rated so low But it's a must try. :). read more

Wow. Do NOT bother coming here. There's other local restaurants that are way better and deserve your business. Walked in on a Friday afternoon- and keep in mind, the place had maybe a handful of tables full. It was not busy at all. Went to the host stand (as instructed by the sign). Not one of the three to five workers made any contact with my friend and me. There was an older gentleman working who looked confused, and two female workers behind the host stand. Stood there for a while, long enough to feel insulted. Then walked out. Are the workers not trained to greet guests? To seat customers? Or are they trained to avoid eye contact? I'm appalled and disappointed. No one cares if you have a fancy river view if you can't even greet the customer. Learn hospitality. read more

The food is solidly good. The wait staff are friendly. It felt they were understaffed at times and we had to wait for food longer than usual. The happy hour pulled pork tacos are so yummy! If you can get a table outside, they have a great patio. read more

Solid restaurant with a lovely outdoor view of the water. It was a perfect day to sit outside to dine so we did! I ordered the Cobb salad with a grilled chicken add-on. My guy ordered the Ruby burger. Cobb salad: I liked the twist of this Cobb salad. Instead of blue cheese they use goat cheese. And instead of blue cheese dressing they use a buttermilk dill dressing. The dressing made the salad-light with a slight acidity but still hearty and partnered nicely with the rest of the salad. My guy liked his burger!! I also got the seasonal frozen mocktail. It was light and sweet! read more

Drank 2 beers while I waited 50 min for a to-go order (on a Wednesday). Had to ask for them to go find It.. "oh they just finished It" but it's all cold mush. I watched several other people having the same experience I was. Good flavor fries if they weren't cold. They added tip to my to-go order, basically nothing worth eating once I got back to my room. First time visiting the area. Trash but a nice place if they could learn how to cook and serve food. read more

The absolute most amazing service. I believe our server's name was Trevor or trevon (we couldn't see the name tag too well), and he truly made the entire experience. He was so kind, funny, and welcoming, and we were able to joke around with him which made the evening really enjoyable. He was the only one running multiple sections, and despite how busy he was, he stayed so positive and attentive.You can tell he genuinely cares about people and works really hard To insure a great experience. Me an my boyfriend were celebrating a birthday and he even had them split the food for us because we were sharing.He completely made our experience and we'll definitely be back because of him! The food was amazing as well, really well presented and tasted amazing! read more

My wife, myself, and our friend ate at Osprey on a Saturday recently. I food was good for a hotel restaurant. However, the coleslaw was just cabbage with little to no dressing and the ribs were overdone. My wife's prime rib was very good and the Mac & Cheese was excellent. My problem with the restaurant was the bill. No sign or notice was given that the bill would contain a charge for "Team Benefits (4.00%). This is just outrageous. I am a good tipper but I can tell you that hidden fees are not conducive to tipping. I have contacted American Express to reverse the charge for that fee and am waiting for a response but I can tell you that I have posted this "fee" issue across all platforms so that people are aware of this hidden charge. I abhor hidden fees like this and it is an all too common practice with restaurants and hotels across the country. Some may not have a choice where they eat when staying at a hotel but neither I nor my friends will ever eat here again. read more

My boyfriend paid for my food waited 30 minutes and got NOTHING & the owner said we got "our food" yet that's not true. We never got food and got ripped off. I've been leaving reviews all over the world and have never felt so disrespected. The owner is the most disrespectful man I've ever met. Wouldn't wasted my time unless you want to call your credit card company and get a refund. read more

As others have said, the view is amazing and food is good, but the service has been very bad the last two times we've dined there. The first time, though it was during the dinner rush, our server brought out the entrees for the three of us, but each diner had also ordered a pre-dinner salad or soup. We had to remind our server of this and before coming back with our salads and cold ginger soup, she remarked, "this is a kitchen problem." From then on out, our table had to constantly try to flag her down for water refills and other missing components to our late-arriving appetizers. Since everyone is entitled to an off day, we gave Osprey a second chance to redeem themselves. While it was a different server and less busy, this time my soup and everyone's beverages arrived, but it was almost 45 minutes until everyone's entrees arrived. Since our server hadn't checked on our table for almost 25 minutes, one person from our party went inside to find our server and inquire about our missing dinners. When they finally arrived, the server barely acknowledged the tardiness of our dinners and left without an apology. If the view wasn't so enjoyable, this review would only be one star. I hope the ownership/management take note of the string of service-related comments and work with their colleagues to improve the dining experience. read more

The food was amazing. The service was incredible. The manager is constantly walking around and asking how the food is. The ambiance alone is SO good. We got the truffle fries to srart which were crispy and delicious! I got the osprey burger which was de fricken licious. My fiance got the prime rib ravioli which he was raving about. And then we got the chocolate cake which was not too sweet but so good. Thank you guys for the wonderful service and the incredible experience! read more

We stayed across the river and noticed this place from our balcony. We noticed the outside sitting so we looked it up online. Online it said that it had vegetarian options so we decided to go eat there. Once we got there and got seated we were informed that that information was incorrect and they didn't really have any vegan or vegetarian options but we may do with the menu that they provide us. We selected to enjoy the weather and sit outside. Our hostess was nice a bit forgetful or overwhelmed. My husband had a breakfast dish off the menu. I had selected when in doubt salad it out. read more

It's a really great location. We chose outdoor seating. The dining area is right on the river and the atmosphere is fabulous. There is some noise from the road right next to the dining area, but, eh, the river! My husband had the BLTA and said it was good. I had the apple salad with chicken. The apple salad was lovely, not over-dressed with lots of nuts and cheese, but the chicken was tough and dry. As for service, the hostess seemed to be more interested in chatting with her buddy than seating us. We had to wait a bit for her to finish her conversation. But our waitress, Alina, was great.. personable and efficient. I wanted to adopt her. I think we will return, for the river, not the food. read more

I wish the nachos were made with a real cheese sauce or shredded cheese, but the other toppings were so plentiful and delicious that it was okay. The view of the river was tremendous. The patio is lovely and the inside of the restaurant was really fun. Thanks for a great dinner! read more
