“Went to Wooden City (with a reservation—they are busy!). It was the BEST restaurant experience I’ve had in years. From the hostess the the many wait staff that stopped by our table to the food—all were classy, professional, and the food was delicious. The croutons in the Caesar Salad were soft and chewy (yumm!), the Fried Polenta with Vodka Sauce (chef’s kiss), and the Fancy Burger and Fries were so tasty—the burst of flavor in the burger was just outstanding. I’d go again and again! Thank you for a most wonderful dining experience!”
Mediterranean • $$
“One of the most unique (in a great way) dining experiences in Spokane. This is a staple 'date night' location for us. Incredible salads, best mezza/tapas plate we've ever had, and a wonderful assortment of Mediterranean dishes. Fun location with a modern ascetic.Kid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly... unless you have a very adventurous eater!”

“Outstanding food and service! We've never been disappointed. At our last visit my husband had sea bass and said it was the best he's ever had. I had the salmon, in fact I almost always get the salmon, because it's THAT good! We travel from Missoula to eat at Luna and we will be back!!”

“Have had dinner there a couple of times and everyone in our party was quite impressed. Plating of the food looked like a picture from a magazine. It didn't end there; we had a variety of menu items -steak, chicken, hamburger, and pasta - all getting rave reviews. Have also been there for the weekend breakfast several times and it's become our 'go to' place. I appreciate how there is space between tables - not crowded - and always impeccable service!”

“I had been wanting to come try Kuni’s for a while now. The wait was well worth it. I ordered the Drunken Noodles with crispy chicken level 3 spice, my husband got the pad thai with sirloin beef level 1 beef. Food was delicious! I have tried many different versions of drunken noodles and trying it with crispy chicken was new, i never knew i needed a crispy crunch element ( imagine this with a mai tai or something oh my) my husband is normally a chicken with pad Thai guy but he was even impressed. Service was excellent, my water cup never went empty and we were checked on the appropriate amount of times. 10/10 recommended trying whether for a quick lunch date or a dinner date.”

Ultra bonus: this is a company owned by indigenous peoples and they employ indigenous peoples as well. Support local, support our indigenous and local community, and enjoy some delicious foods! You won’t regret it at all.”

I’ve never been disappointed by a beer here, you just need to know what you want and you’ll be happy. Usually calm here and if your date likes beer, I’m sure you’ll have a blast.”

“I kept seeing this place on Division, and was very curious. Looked it up on Google, saw the incredible reviews, and had to try it.You guys… this place is effing delicious!!!! There were 4 of us and did family style, each dish was so freaking good.We were talking so much before the food came, once the food came we went silent as we were eating, in our own little worlds of ratatouille food heaven ?We had Manto, a rice dish with meat, some potato cakes that were stuff with heaven, and tikka lamb skewer with Nan. Everything was so incredible, the flavors were amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice at all.I can’t stop thinking about this place and will be telling everyone who will listen to me to GO ASAP.Run, don’t walk.”

“I moved to Spokane in August, and was recommended to Locos by a friend. Went for the first time today, and was amazed! Excellent folks working there, serving up a fantastic chili, followed by a smoked brisket sandwich and cowboy beans. Loved the flavor of everything! Cool looking place in the Hillyard area. While this was my first time, it definitely won't be the last!”

“10/10 food, 10/10 environment, and 10/10 location. Smacky’s on Broadway is the only place I go to for a amazing quality sandwich and interaction with kind staff. They never take it easy on the meat and I always come home satisfied. If you’re lucky you’ll talk too Mike, always can count on him to make your experience easy, hilarious, and memorable. I would take anybody to smackys”

“We made a reservation here on Tuesday evening, we were seated quickly and our table was clean. The restaurant was tidy and beautifully decorated with Japanese items and ornaments. It's on the smaller side, so be prepared to wait if you come during busier nights. Our orders of an Idaho roll, Love Blossom combo, and Salmon Blossom were placed quickly. Review below: Idaho Roll- A roll of yellowtail, cucumber, and scallions. The yellowtail had a delicious, fresh fish taste, perfectly pairing with the crisp fragrance of the cucumber and herbal flourish of the scallions. The rice was ever so mildly sweet, just enough to impart a light essence to the roll. And the light aroma of seaweed from the wrap was just the finishing touch this roll needed. Although on the dry side, the texture of the rice lent itself well to the fattiness of the yellowtail and the crunch of the cucumber. Some rolls were a bit messy, but it all looks the same in your stomach, right? Love Blossom combo- From left to right, the nigiri is escolar (extra white tuna), otoro (fatty tuna), hamachi (amberjack), yellowtail, salmon, and tuna. Came with miso soup. I didn't have the miso, but it came in a timely fashion. The nigiri rice was on the drier side, however you feel about that. The fish portions were generous and perfectly balanced with the rice, and the knife work was excellent. Salmon was a bit on the fatty side but it paired well with the umami of the soy sauce and the dry nutty sweetness of the rice. Salmon Blossom- basically sliced salmon on a California roll. Very generous portion of krab. Soft and tender without being overly creamy or rich, and you could still taste the salmon and avocado, even the sweet rice. Salmon was on the fatty side. I did enjoy that, though. For fast service and great food for the value, come visit Sushi Blossom!”

“Came in for brunch on a Sunday. The atmosphere was nice and the service was excellent. It’s a pretty limited brunch menu. I got the French and it was good. It was served with walnuts and apple pieces… I wish the apples had been peeled instead of leaving the skin on. That’s just my personal preference since I don’t care for the skin on apples raw or cooked. I liked the French toast wasn’t overly sweet.”
Pubs • $$
“The pork medallions and house made spaetzle were great. The mushroom sauce tasted great just wish the mushrooms were cooked down a bit more. The gravy becomes a little pasty when it cools. Good beers on tap. Open until 2am and has a separate bar and restaurant. Menu changes depending on the time of day.”

“North Hill on Garland is "THE BEST" wine bar-restaurant-cocktail lounge in town. Great food, and amazing staff. Don't be discouraged by the construction out front, as both the upper and lower patios are open. David, the owner, is one of the few restauranteers left that is out meeting and greeting every guest daily. North Hill is simply a great dining experience.”

“Went for the lunch buffet (I think it runs around $17.99) and everything was fantastic. I think between everyone at our table we tried everything and got seconds of most of it. This place is absolutely adorable inside and the customer service was great from every single person who worked there. We haven’t had a place like this on the south hill in a long time and we will be going back!”

“I rarely post about restaurants but YOU GUYS... if you have not been to Umi Kitchen and Sushi Bar in Kendall Yards, you need to go! The best sushi I've had here hands down. It reminds me of Trappers on the West Side, seriously this place is the best. AND our waiter was phenomenal and turned me onto this delightful Sake. We sat down in the Den and it had gorgeous views of the city at night and prices were on par if not lower than other sushi places in town for WAY BETTER sushi, service and atmosphere! We WILL be back over & over & over again!!”
French • $$
“Francais has become our special delicious go-to restaurant. The jambon Benedict for today's brunch was perfectly done. My husband's beef bourginon sandwich was perfectly done and just the right amount. First time for brunch, and splurged at the end with the beignets. Highly recommend, Abbi was our server again today and her recommendations have always been spot on.”

“They're open 24 hours, their staff is awesome and helpful always especially the over night crew they're totally wonderful as I frequently eat there while doing all night shifts at work. Quick and reliable, food is what you expect from Jack in the box restaurant chains and the area it's at isn't family friendly after hours really neither is the daytime there so beware of your surroundings if you eat inside or have to exit the vehicle there always.

Fast Food • $
“Talk to their customers better you never know what someone is going through and be considerate and honest with making a mistake with someone's order by not putting everything in their bag don't just lie and say you have to pay for more when it's not right to take extra money when the customer already paid for what the employees failed to put in the bag especially if the customer was just there and you remember them being there after 10 seconds of giving the customer their bag. I am just disappointed at the service I received with trying to take extra money from the customers. Above all McDonalds wanted to argue with me with my young child in the car very disappointed. When your child says mommy wheres my food and you don't have it because the employees lie about putting in your bag that's a huge disgrace and total disappointment in their service. McDonalds on Monroe and Francis in Spokane is not the place to go for child friendly nor adult friendly services. Restaurants are asking for the community to support them to stay open during hard times the McDonald's on Monroe can go downhill for all I care my services ended with them this morning. and maybe that's why they wouldn't put my food in my bag and wanted me to order more so they can get more money....that was not about to happen good try McDonald's”

I’ve made it my Friday morning ritual for great coffee, amazing cookies (from Made With Love Bakery), and a wonderful atmosphere great for working, chatting, or just sitting and enjoying every sip and bite. Every barista I’ve had there makes the drink with a mindful presence towards their craft as if they’re striving to make the perfect drink each and every time…quality is their priority above anything else which I appreciate.”

“So, we heard of this place as a recommendation from another coach of ours. It’s a super cute place with a great ambiance. I’m a fan of the inside, with the paintings (vibrant colors) from only one artist. That was pretty cool.The service again was fantastic and outstanding. I mean you really couldn’t do much better than this. It’s a super nice and friendly place.The food, that’s the big thing we are looking at hear. Being someone who lives in Texas, take this with a grain of salt.We had the chicken artichoke and tomatoes basil soups. Personally, probably the best soups they have. We tried the jalapeno popper and it was very spicy. The beer cheese soup tasted ungodly for us. However, not our thing. The beer bread was really odd too, but we don’t eat that typically. Overall, we tried a lot and it was a lot of fun. Love the atmosphere indeed.I would go back for soup again. I do love a good soup.”

“I’ve been a customer of Jose since 2001 and now consider him a great friend/hermano. His customer service is unlike any other in how he treats everyone with excitement to share his passion in serving excellent food and treating you like family. The menu is excellent and I highly suggest trying more than just your “usual” and you won’t be disappointed! We drive from Cheney for the food and of course Jose, my only complaint is that I wish they were closer so I could eat there all the time. The new expansion of the restaurant is a very nice improvement and having a bigger bar is nice since it’s always busy. Tonight we tried mezcal for the first time based off Jose’s recommendation and he made multiple drinks of different versions using mezcal to really show my wife and I what we had been missing. He also introduced us to Sal de gusano and when paired as a rim dusting for a mezcal drink it added another layer of a pallet explosion. He shared his knowledge he gained on mezcal from his recent trip to Wahaka Mexico. We ended up spending over 3 hours there talking with him and left with full stomachs and face hurting from smiling and laughing so much.”

“I've always loved Kitty Cantina and the opportunity to play with all of the kitties. The food and drinks are always good and the kitties make for a fun environment. I love that the Cafe has completely separate air circulation from the cat room - my friend that's allergic to cats was able to dine without a problem. The greatest part about Kitty Cantina is the way they adopt out the cats. I recently adopted a little one from them and I was able to see my cats personality in this environment. In a traditional shelter environment you don't get the same experience. I have to believe that this formula ensures a greater record of adoption success than the traditional shelter.”

That is pretty much unheard of anymore. I have tried their bagel and the croissant breakfast sandwich and yummy!! I think a lot of their ingredients come from Costco. I got my first espresso-based drink today and it was fabulous. They have both sauce and powdered white mocha (pssst powder is always yummier). Love love love!! It is my new go-to!”

“They have great food and our server was fantastic, with a great sense of humor. All of their omelettes are made with 6, yes SIX, eggs and your choice of hash browns or home browns and choice of toast. Alternatively, you can substitute 3 pancakes or a waffle for the toast and hash browns though. Their burgers are all 1/3 pound and come with your choice of French fries, tater tots, onion rings, soup, or salad. I went with Molly’s Favorite Omelette, without the Hollandaise sauce. So huge, I will have (at least) three more meals. My brother went with the German sausage and cheese omelette he said it was really good. My Dad, though was originally planning on getting Molly’s Mess, settled on the full-sized Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. He really enjoyed it. He was amazed at how large it was and that it came with 3 eggs. My Dad’s caregiver opted for a burger. I am so happy she did, I was curious what they would look like. She ordered their Avocado bacon burger and opted for a side of sautéed mushrooms. I wish I would’ve gotten a picture of the bun, because it was a great looking burger. I also ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast to bring home. It was so large, it was packed in two large boxes and a cup of gravy. As always, there was a ton of food and nobody was able to finish any of their meals.”

“I was visiting from out of town. Came to Spokane to spend my birthday weekend with my 2 son's. Not familiar with the area, my children's mom recommended Mizuna. The service- Both my boy's are now adults, but they also have autism. This sometimes triggers others to treat them like they're children. Our waitress directly engaged with them as if they were no different than any other normal adult. As if she couldn't even tell even though it's blatantly obvious. This encouraged my oldest to look directly at her and give his order with a clear and confident voice without stuttering. He even tossed in some hand gestures to over accentuate what he was saying. To the parents of kids on the spectrum, you know how huge this is. The food- Everything we ordered was awesome. The risotto balls, oven baked chicken, cashew crusted avocado noodles. The only let down was that they were out of the crème brûlée. The key lime and bread pudding definitely made up for it though. The drinks- I love me a good classic old fashioned. It's getting harder and harder these days to find an establishment that won't destroy this drink. The bartender came through on this one. My oldest son has a thing for espresso martini's. I asked him how it was and he responded with a double thumbs up. When it was time for the second and third drink, I just asked the waitress to get me whatever drinks she favored. Again she didn't disappoint. We finally ended the night with a couple shots of a very tasty espresso. The food, the drinks, and especially the awesome waitress (I wish I could remember her name). Grabbing something to eat turned into having a nice family dinner.”

But today they told me they were pretty sure that what I had was the Reesers Antipasto and they told me they get salads in in Thursdays so they told me to call then. So I'm hopeful. The only reason I put a 3 for atmosphere is because I'm assuming it's all the meat smells mingling but the store doesn't smell very good. But their salads and meats are good. :)”

“Although my partner and I ultimately went with a different venue for our wedding, I can't recommend Commellini Estates enough based on our experience. From the moment we reached out to them, their customer service was exceptional. They were prompt, professional, and incredibly friendly in all of our interactions. Although this venue didn't fit our exact vision for our wedding day, we were so impressed with their full-service offerings, including decor, catering, and bartending. They truly went above and beyond in their communication with us, and we appreciated how transparent and accommodating they were throughout the process. Overall, I can confidently say that Commellini Estates was our favorite venue to tour, and we were so impressed with their dedication to making our special day as perfect as possible. Even though we didn't end up booking with them, I have no doubt that any couple who chooses this venue will be in excellent hands. Thank you, Commellini Estates, for your top-notch customer service and beautiful space!”

“Pros:Love the food, nice job on the upgrade to outlaw BBQ. Beer is still good as always.Cons:Food is priced at restaurant prices for a food truck service and they want a 18% + tip for doing nothing.

And I'm sure they are very profitable, so much maybe give back to your customers.”

“The people who run this place (Melody) are truly my angels. And here is why….I am visiting in Spokane, WA in the downtown area between 2nd and 3rd Ave. I went to get dinner and came back to the hotel and my Great Dane Oso, my world, was gone. This was at 9:30pm. The front desk agent said he heard people right in the area say they saw one so it’s likely he opened the door and walked out of the hotel. No, I am not kidding. He knows how to open doors with handles and I didn’t even consider the hotel door due to its weight.I am from TX on a road trip with just myself and my dog. He truly is my best friend. These folks will always be ace in my book.So thankful for the good people of the world. I am forever in debt to you both. -Emily Schmidt”

“my husband and I went to JJs Thursday night for our first time after hearing they have such good food. Melissa the bartender was our server and let me tell you the service not only completely SUCKED but was absolutely horrible!!!!! It took fotever for her to come take our order for drinks which she literally only asked what we wanted, it took forever to get our drinks which was a beer and mixed drinks, our food sat in the kitchen window for so long that by the time we got it, it wasn't even actually hot just warm...... the place wasn't busy less than 20 people but she was just socializing. It took her a long time to even come take an order for drinks. we ate and sat there waiting til I finally took her a card and went to get boxes. She brought the card back and said there was an issue with it which is weird because it's been used at 3 places today without calling the card issuer, I gave her my debit card but she was very short and unfriendly about it. We will absolutely not be back and will not be recommending this establishment. I'd rather have McDonald's with great service than amazing food with service like we got last night from Melissa. if you're looking for a new place to try just skipthis place it's not worth the visit.”

“Do you know about the hidden gem, only five minutes from downtown Spokane? If you're looking for a great place to eat, I recommend trying out the local bistro. They have friendly staff, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience there. Their wine list is exceptional, but tonight, we decided to try their cocktails. Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with these incredible drinks and appetizers! Start with a Heat Wave cocktail that packs a punch with vodka, jalapeño, passionfruit liquor, and triple sec. Or, try a refreshing Pomegranate Margarita made with tequila, pomegranate, lime, and triple sec. Indulge in a Butter Board layered with smoked honey butter and rosemary, served with delicious applesauce with pistachio and sourdough bread. And don't miss out on the Carrots that are cooked to perfection with smoked honey butter and blackened dill, served with pork rinds. It's no wonder why these Carrots are so addictive The beet salad with a brown butter vinaigrette, frisee, and crispy onions was a good side choice My hubby ordered the steaks and couldn't stop raving about how it was comparable to Churchills - that's how good it was! As for me, I got the halibut; it was a good-sized portion. The chard vegetables- asparagus, were delicious. And the best part? We ended our meal with a warm, gooey blueberry cobbler that was just divine! Oh, I almost forgot! There are no kid's menus, but our server suggested either pizza or they can serve butter noodles Latah Bistro 4241 S Cheney Spokane Rd Spokane, WA 99224 United States”

My only slightly negative comment would be that my friend and I were sat at a table for two but that had a really tall partition between us and the tables on either side of us. Imagine eating a really delicious meal while visiting a friend in prison and that was the vibe ?Didn’t take away from how great the food was ?”

The bar is more traditional with high open ceilings but also a cozy but communal feel in their long tables. Plenty of screens to watch games. The food is always good and often great. Fairly traditional menu done right. Even with the interesting layout of tables, management has figured out how to keep every table served. No complaints at all!”

“We hosted a memorial service with 48 guests at Tamarack Event House mid-January and every aspect of it was beautiful, primarily due to the sincerity and professionalism of Teresa and everyone else at Tamarack. Hosting a memorial service is never an easy thing to do with all the emotions involved but Teresa, her sister Tina, and the staff helped immensely. Teresa answered emails promptly leading up to the event, gave suggestions on food options, and tested our slideshow well before the service to ensure all was working properly. On the day every aspect was perfect allowing us the family to focus on the service itself. Being from out of town and not knowing much about Spokane, we are thankful we found Tamarack Event House. Our memorial service was perfect and I can only assume the professionalism would be carried through to all events. We highly recommend Tamarack Event House for your event.”

“In February of 2020 I flew into Spokane to be with my mother who ultimately passed away from complications of cancer at Deaconess Hospital. Your restaurant was the highest rated and recommended steak house by all the hospital staff and locals. I wanted to say a thank you for the special treatment I was given at your restaurant that night. I explained to the hostess my reason for being in town and that I really just wanted to eat my meal and enjoy a few drinks by myself overlooking the river. Obviously that area was seasonally closed, but I was immediately accommodated under the less than usual circumstances and allowed to sit by myself overlooking the Spokane river on a cold dark February night and enjoy my meal and drinks. I have never forgotten that experience and how much it meant to me in that moment and I always remember it every February since. I never got to say thank you to your staff.”

I got the tofu which id normally be afraid of but I tried it and wasn’t disappointed. It was so good and made me change my mind about tofu. Super clean environment also”

“Jon is the best server. We plan our weekly office meeting (Thursday) to make sure we are at the Onion for Jon's excellent service. Always a big smile, great attitude and has our orders memorized. The food is always excellent. If you are at the Onion, highly recommend asking to be seated in the bar in Jon's section.”

“Had the lunch special with the butter chicken curry and the spinach beef. The garlic naan was to die for! I would stick with the butter chicken next time. Spinach beef was good but the butter chicken was out of the ball park! Spent about $50 for 2 people and left beyond full!!!! Was sooooo good would definitely go back! Our server Robert was amazing and very attentive!”

“My husband and I dined in on Friday night for my husband's birthday. Our server was very attentive and made sure to tell my husband happy birthday multiple times. They even brought him a little ice cream treat at the end of our meal. Now for the food the sushi he got was nice and fresh. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it was so chewy and gross I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Overall we will be back because the service was so great!”

“Sammie is incredible & does such a wonderful job with this place! What a darling atmosphere. The smoothies & acai bowls are delicious. So much flavor and color. I hear the curry is amazing so I can’t wait to try that next time I swing in. It’s the perfect place to grab a quick healthy breakfast or lunch. Prices are very fair, there’s so many options and she takes pride in her business and loves others so well. Thankful for this little cafe.”

“I’ve had great food at both locations. I’ve loved the street tacos, and today tried the avocado boats. Both were excellent! My summer drink special tonight was so sparkly, and festive! The service was excellent at the new location, and I really appreciated no waiting! But the live music was the best!! I will come back.”

“They have great food and our server was fantastic, with a great sense of humor. All of their omelettes are made with 6, yes SIX, eggs and your choice of hash browns or home browns and choice of toast. Alternatively, you can substitute 3 pancakes or a waffle for the toast and hash browns though. Their burgers are all 1/3 pound and come with your choice of French fries, tater tots, onion rings, soup, or salad. I went with Molly’s Favorite Omelette, without the Hollandaise sauce. So huge, I will have (at least) three more meals. My brother went with the German sausage and cheese omelette he said it was really good. My Dad, though was originally planning on getting Molly’s Mess, settled on the full-sized Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. He really enjoyed it. He was amazed at how large it was and that it came with 3 eggs. My Dad’s caregiver opted for a burger. I am so happy she did, I was curious what they would look like. She ordered their Avocado bacon burger and opted for a side of sautéed mushrooms. I wish I would’ve gotten a picture of the bun, because it was a great looking burger. I also ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast to bring home. It was so large, it was packed in two large boxes and a cup of gravy. As always, there was a ton of food and nobody was able to finish any of their meals.”

“my husband and I went to JJs Thursday night for our first time after hearing they have such good food. Melissa the bartender was our server and let me tell you the service not only completely SUCKED but was absolutely horrible!!!!! It took fotever for her to come take our order for drinks which she literally only asked what we wanted, it took forever to get our drinks which was a beer and mixed drinks, our food sat in the kitchen window for so long that by the time we got it, it wasn't even actually hot just warm...... the place wasn't busy less than 20 people but she was just socializing. It took her a long time to even come take an order for drinks. we ate and sat there waiting til I finally took her a card and went to get boxes. She brought the card back and said there was an issue with it which is weird because it's been used at 3 places today without calling the card issuer, I gave her my debit card but she was very short and unfriendly about it. We will absolutely not be back and will not be recommending this establishment. I'd rather have McDonald's with great service than amazing food with service like we got last night from Melissa. if you're looking for a new place to try just skipthis place it's not worth the visit.”

“I kept seeing this place on Division, and was very curious. Looked it up on Google, saw the incredible reviews, and had to try it.You guys… this place is effing delicious!!!! There were 4 of us and did family style, each dish was so freaking good.We were talking so much before the food came, once the food came we went silent as we were eating, in our own little worlds of ratatouille food heaven ?We had Manto, a rice dish with meat, some potato cakes that were stuff with heaven, and tikka lamb skewer with Nan. Everything was so incredible, the flavors were amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice at all.I can’t stop thinking about this place and will be telling everyone who will listen to me to GO ASAP.Run, don’t walk.”

Our waiter Dave was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond for our party. Food was great ~ the pickles are incredible and the Burrata was one of the best I've had. Beautiful view right aling the scenic Spokane River. Atmosphere + Food + Service = Winning Combo!”

“My friends and I showed up when it was about to close, and Gauge (the manager) was super awesome and let us get in before they pulled the food, all the while making sure we felt comfortable and not rushed to leave but to hurry and get food. Our server Brent was also extremely amazing. He to did not make us feel rushed and kept our drinks full with a great attitude. So to sum this up. Service was above and beyond! The food was super delicious ? and honestly the steak has been the best steak I've had since moving to Spokane.”

Seafood • $$
“Service was great today, they were polite and attentive. Food could have been better. I got a side of melted butter that tasted a lot like movie theater butter which was off putting. They said they couldn’t cook my salmon rare, and after a bit of back and forth with ordering, I will say that when I did get my salmon the interior did not appear to be over cooked but the exterior was blackened and quite crispy. Not entirely what I wanted but I don’t think it was any fault of the server, I just don’t think the cook understood what I was asking for. Salmon can be cooked to a certain temperature so that it is cooked through, but not over cooked.The raspberry tea tasted a bit off, but wasn’t horrible. As far as the environment goes, I wish they would play comfortable music and not 80s classic rock.”
