We ordered pot stickers, an egg roll (friend said it was great!), egg foo yong (veggie packed with savory gravy), beef bulgogi (savory & hands down one of the best we've ever had), and red curry with chicken (a perfect spicy kick). Everything was fresh & delicious! We even got to visit with one of the owners who is also one of the chefs. DELIGHTFUL!!! Won't hesitate to return!

I can't remember our server's name but she had a nice deep theatrical voice and wore glasses and took such great care of us. She was lovely. When you first pull up to the restaurant, you couldn't expect the amount of detail and pride that we discovered inside. The local artwork throughout the restaurant was not to be missed as well as the owner's welding skills are to be appreciated. We met Robbie at the end of our visit and got a tour of his place. Such a cool story and restaurant to know. Food -- I loved my entire meal and was so glad I didn't have to share halvsies like we usually do! The pear truffle salad was amazing. I wish I got the recipe. The filet was done to perfection. I usually don't love a lot of sauce on my steak but I loved what came on mine. I forced myself to finish my steak as full as I was. I just knew it wouldn't be as perfect and it was so good and cooked perfectly medium rare. Dessert was a nice treat and just the right size and way to end the evening. The pictures don't do justice to how wonderful and cozy this place is. Thank you for a memorable evening and delicious meal. We will definitely recommend to our friends and visit again when we are back in the area!

The halibut entree was so yummy, with such interesting combination of flavors that all went so well, even though I would never think of putting half of them together. Our server helped us choose a bottle of red wine that would accompany my fish and my husband's steak, and it was a great recommendation. Dessert was the Turtle cheesecake, and was creamy, dense, and not overly sweet (which I like so that I can enjoy the whole thing!). The Ambiance This is the second time my husband and I have celebrated an anniversary at Satay, and it continues to be such an enjoyable place and experience for an intimate upscale dinner together. The Service Grace was our server, and it made all the difference. She was knowledgeable, respectful, affable, and I could tell she loves her work. She also did a phenomenal job of subtly and gently leading us in particulars of etiquette without being obvious or condescending. Working in fine dining is a delicate profession no matter where one is, so kudos to you, Grace, for doing it smoothly and graciously. Thank you again, Satay, for an exquisite evening.

I think it's unnecessary to be entertained and checking on excessively, we dine at restaurants for the food, after all. Servers were here to help facilitate that process, and for many others. Our table were checked in on just enough times to make sure we had everything we needed and they were very polite:) One note on reservation: we went at lunch time on a weekend, I actually booked ahead of time. But once we arrived it seemed unnecessary as there were plenty of tables to choose from. If you forgot to make reservation, I say give it a try regardless

The Staff was super awesome and I placed my order and I felt like we didn't sit long to get our orders. We got our orders and the food smelled delicious and awesome so we dug in. I loved the little cucumber salad it was like a pallett cleanser and the little mac salad was pretty good as well. The sauce for the noodles was just super awesome and I ordered chicken as my protein and was cooked to perfection and the noodles didn't seem over or under done. Everything complimented each other and just even smelling the dish put the entire playe together. If you're going to be in the Spokane area, run and don't walk to Island style food & bbq you will not regret it and you'll get your moneys worth as well.
