    Spaghetti and meatballs. There were 3 meat balls before i ate them.

    As an 100% Italian from Long Island NY, the spaghetti was shockingly delicious for WA. And the staff is super friendly. Holly the waitress was amazing. (Ps there were 3 meatballs but I started eating before i took the photo.)

    Breakfast pizza!

    We stopped in for brunch and everything was fantastic. The spicy Bloody Mary was easily one of the best I've ever had, and the service was top notch! Not a huge space but wasn't super packed around 10am but it filled up quick! We are excited to go back.

    This was some excellent pizza with a great atmosphere. It is truly a gem in the Garland District's food hat!

    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.

    So many good things happening here…read more First, I love the decor. It is very classy but not stuffy or intimidating. I have only seen New Orleans in pictures but they definitely have the right vibe here. Every employee here is super friendly and welcoming. It feels more like visiting good friends or family you actually like as opposed to going to a restaurant. And the food. First, props to this place for trying something different than basic boring blue collar diner. Spokane's food scene is just so meh, so I applaud their bravery. But it isn't just different, it is really good. Between a solid regular menu with options for just about anyone, including vegans or folks with allergies, and some really great off menu specials, there is just so much goodness! I especially like their gumbo. Solid, but of a kick, but fully focused on great flavors. I make a decent gumbo myself, but these guys go next level. I can't speak to "authenticity" having only been to the airport in New Orleans on a layover. But I will say that the food here will make just about anyone happy they came. And make sure you leave room for the beignets. Such a simple dessert but SO good.

    This review is an update. May 2026. I've been dining at…read moreVieux Carre for several years. Generally with good success. However, on this occasion, I had a very bad experience, one that I feel is not a one off, but how the restaurant is now. I ordered their Gumbo bowl for lunch, along with a cocktail. Upon receiving it, I was shocked by the looks of it. It was dried out, pasty, looking like the leftovers from the night prior that had dried out and scraped up from the bottom of the pot. I asked the server what this was and he told me it was the gumbo. I told him gumbo does not look like what you are serving. My server's response? "Well, this is how we serve it now!" Like that all I was going to get from him. Well, their "new" gumbo tasted as bad as it looked. The over condensed stew was over salted. Just tasted like pasty crap. My good friend who dined with me was just shocked they would serve that dish to me. If you're planning on trying this restaurant, don't expect a good experience. I was wondering why the restaurant was only half full at lunch. Other people have obviously found out the downward change.
