    Soft pretzel with jalapeño cheese!
    Kim L.

    First stop after the airport! We were craving one of hot, soft pretzels from here with the beer, jalapeno cheese! My friend was a little disappointed as the cheese was different this time, and she couldn't taste the beer? We had the place to ourselves on an early Saturday afternoon. Service was excellent, and I loved my pretzel! We checked out all the tables with the names of bands on them, looks like it would be a fun place on a Friday or Saturday night!

    Great food, great location and always a great time before a rock concert at the Knitting Factory Spokane. The best part is inside access to the show, after enjoying yummy grub and a few beers!

    Two bites into my $9 Arugula and Pear salad...wilted lettuce, 15 minute wait for dressing and a sprinkling of pear.

    This place has gone downhill so quickly. We've always gone here before concerts because you were able to get into the show early - apparently that doesn't happen anymore. They used to not accept reservations, but my parents haven't been there in a while and I thought I heard they started accepting them so we called to make sure. No one answered the phone and there was no indication of an option for reservations. The website said they opened at 3, the note on the door said 5, it used to be 4. ( I checked the website after being seated) When we got inside there was a seating hostess wearing a Victoria's Secret sweatshirt and some 'I've never been to yoga pants' that were several sizes too small (professional work attire would have helped us take her more seriously) she first lectured my dad on bringing a large group without a reservation, then sat us at two booths and one small table. There were at least three other tables that could have accommodated our whole group. I ran into a server we were familiar with and he told us he had a big enough table in his section and we should just move there. I chatted with the seating hostess and she laughed at me and said "there's no way I'm going to let that happen" and lectured me about making reservations. I told her I had talked with the server and she told me that someone had made a reservation online and specifically requested that table in that server's section, I asked if that was possible, and she said of course it was. (It's not, I checked) We just decided to order and deal with having to yell at each other across the restaurant. The servers were exceptional given the short staffing and large crowd (that they apparently weren't planning for...on the night of a show...) The food was a giant waste of money. It took 50+ minutes to actually get our food, after waiting around 20 minutes to order. We were served drinks that we didn't order (and charged for them), and several dishes that were incomplete. Tomato basil soup and grilled cheese served luke warm and the sandwich never showed up. Bacon mac n cheese was noodles with some melted shredded cheese on top, with no bacon. Arugula pear salad was wilted and barely had any cheese, a few (seriously, like 3) candied walnuts and 5 small slivers of pear. I had to request dressing, and waited 15 minutes for it. When we finally asked our server about the meals (after being in the restaurant for 2 hours), she said the only thing she was allowed to do was bring us some bacon if we wanted it. Our bill was over $200 and we tipped our overworked server $45. The seating hostess seemed like she might be a manager of some sort after a while. She made it very clear that we were a total inconvenience to her. Glad to know there is no actual benefit to going to the restaurant before seeing a show, so next time, we will take our party somewhere else!

    I went there to see I Speak Machine. Nice, small, space for live shows. Comfortable space. Drinks a bit too alcohol in taste but fine.

    Can you make reservations here?

    No. I just called and got the voicemail, which said there are no reservations and tables are first come, first serve.

    Loved the actual Venue of the Knitting factory and worth going so that you enter the concert area early.

    Honestly, Wooden City really lives up to its hype. It's an upscale spot right in downtown Spokane,…read morebut still feels warm and lively instead of overly formal. Definitely one of the best-quality restaurants in the city, where every dish was thoughtfully made and packed with flavor. What we ordered: Starters: - Spring Salad: Super fresh and well-balanced. The snap peas were crisp, with strawberries added for sweetness, and the goat cheese + pistachios gave it a creamy, nutty contrast. The lemon & tarragon vinaigrette tied everything together with a light, herby flavor. - Jerk Cauliflower: Crunchy cauliflower with Caribbean spices with a creamy jerk sauce, good as a side Appetizers: - Peel 'n' Eat Shrimp: Really juicy and spicy from the Cajun spice. There's butter to dip in but I found it too greasy and prefer lemon instead. - Blistered Hungarian Peppers: Smoky pepper with some sweetness and savory from the sausage and cheddar. Served with a toasted focaccia that soak up all the sauce. Main dishes: - Chicken Schnitzel: One of the must-orders. Crispy, golden breading, super tender inside. The lemon & caper butter sauce added acidity and richness that elevated the whole dish. Yoy have to order extra because it's never enough for the table. Yes, it's that good. - Marbled Duroc Pork Chop: Another favorite . Juicy and tender, with 'nduja salsa brava bringing a spicy depth, while lemon tahini and marcona almonds added creaminess and crunch. I always missed tasting this dish like my first time - Beet Ravioli: Earthy and slightly sweet flavor, nice texture but I hate goat cheese so I'm not really a fan of this dish - Pesto Bacon Pizza: Delicious crunch, loved the combo of mozzarella and gorgonzola, kind of creamy with a bit of funk. Balsamic do help balance and gave it a sweet tangy flavor, or else it would be too heavy for me (yes, not a pizza fan) Drinks & Dessert - Not Mai Tai mocktail: very aesthetically looking drink, but a bit too sweet to my liking - Apple crisp: cozy and warm, with baked apple & pecan crumble and served with vanilla ice cream on top. Delicious ice cream. - Pumpkin cheesecake: My 3rd favorite of the night, I still dream about it!! Rich, smooth, and perfectly spiced, you shouldn't skip this!!! That said, I do have to take away a couple points for timing. Our foods took 45 mins to come out even though I had reservations and note the menu items via the email, and the wait time between each dish was also... very confusing. It broke the flow of our meal. But once the food hit the table, it was hard to stay mad, so I forgave them.

    I feel like I just went to a dress rehearsal about a play about a group of friends who got together…read moreand said "How about we open a restaurant? That would be fun!" Tonight was just so strange. First, I had no idea who was an employee. There were two girls that were going around together over and over, they kept stopping at tables so I think they worked there...but they never had anything in their hands. Our server seemed to keep forgetting we were there. Or just forgetting she was employed in general. Seriously just not with it. She was very nice...when she remembered we were there. I will say the pizza crust tasted amazing. So many places that serve pizza think of the crust as just something to put toppings on, but this had great flavor. Sadly, it was rolled too thin and said toppings made it somewhat soggy. Caesar salad was ok. Romaine was really fresh and crisp and the homemade croutons were still a little warm. Very good. However, the dressing was rather bland. And when I asked for pepper for it, our waitress first had it in her head that I expected some kind of peppers on my salad. When she finally understood I meant black pepper, she went away. Eventually she returned. Not with a pepper grinder or a shaker, but a sauce bowl that had about 3 tablespoons of black pepper in it. I wouldn't use that much pepper if I cooked for myself for a week and used it with every dish. Had to ask for knives for some of people's meals. I will say the spicy lamb rigatoni was amazing, pasta just right and the sauce and flavor was peak. I am just not sure what to say, other than this was the strangest and most disorganized dining experience I have ever had. I think if a grown up showed up and brought the kids into line, this place would be amazing. Also, for what we paid, I expected to be wowed, not left wondering what I just experienced.
