Food was great! The waitress was very good, but it took awhile for her to come back to the table to get drinks and then order dinner. Everything Elsa was wonderful.

Wild Sage American Bistro

Bistro

Spokane

About the restaurant

Opened in 2006, the first thing you'll experience at Wild Sage American Bistro is the rich earth tones and classic architectural details that make our bistro both relaxing and refined. Walls of windows saturate our interior space with abundant natural light during the day and provide an intimate atmosphere at night. You'll find our three dining areas allow for conversations to flow comfortably yet privately for a wonderful dining experience.
We have designed a menu that allows us to be creative on a daily basis, and work within the limits of what is in season and available. We are always looking for unique ingredients to highlight. Local beef, regional fresh fish, local gardens, heirloom vegetables fruits and tomatoes. We describe our style as “Regionally Sourced Northwest Cuisine”. It just makes sense using local ingredients at the peak of their quality and freshness.

Excellent cuisine at Wild Sage. We ate duck breast (superb) and pork tenderloin (excellent). Our server was friendly and attentive and helpful in answering questions. It was a midweek evening, and so the place was not full. That made for an even more pleasant experience for us.

Excellent service and great food. Went there for my wife's birthday. They had a birthday card on our table which was a nice touch. Her Sea Bass was crisp on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. Perfectly cooked. I enjoyed the Lasagna and meatballs. Only ding was my desert which was an apple tort. only a few small apple slices and the pastry was very cold and dense. Not worth the calories.

Churchill's is truly one of the country's great steakhouses. It is one of only a handful of steakhouses that exclusively serves 100% USDA Prime beef from midwestern, corn fed cattle. Our beef is dry-aged and meticulously handled by our expert team. The steaks are then cooked in a custom made, top heated, radiant broiler at temperatures of 1,800 to 2,200 degrees sealing in the savory juices.

Churchill's impressive menu includes USDA Prime domestic Lamb Chops, Duroc Pork Chops, fresh fish and shellfish and other seasonal seafood offerings such as Copper River Salmon.
