Reviews for Browne’s Bistro in Spokane, WA
I want to give this place five stars but there are just a couple things off. First, the menu needs a thorough proofreading,... there are misspellings and some of the items are oddly organized and a menu item called 'Atlantic King Salmon' (ahem).The diningroom is the really cozy living areas of an old house--really nice but small. Patio areas looked nice but it was too hot evenwith the misters going. We ordered drinks which were delicious and I noticed bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers were available so Iordered one and and the avocado hummus. The hummus was mild and featured a nice presentation with sliced grape tomatoes andcucumbers with wonderful grilled crostini; really good. The poppers came out sizzling but apparently had been frozen and werecold in the middle. The table next to us ordered them also; so I took it upon myself to warn the waiter, but that communicationapparently did not reach the chef as the other guests made the same complaint. Weird that you wouldn't try one and see if youcould fix it or at least say you were out. My wife ordered angel hair pasta with artichokes, a dish I would ordinarilyanticipate being lightly dressed perhaps with a lemon vinaigrette, but this dish was sauced with a cream base. Nonetheless, itwas really flavorful. Our waiter, a charming fellow from down south, recommended the salmon, and although I would not normallytrust a restaurant that didn't know the difference between Atlantic salmon and King, I decided to give it a try anyway. Based onthe size of the portion, the thickness of the filet, and the thickness of the flakes, this was clearly Atlantic. It came with anice blueberry compote that balanced the fish pretty well and grilled veggies that were superb except for the poorly trimmedasparagus, and a pretty scrumptious risotto. Fish was overcooked which I guess shouldn't have surprised me. Overall it is apretty nice little spot with great potential, but they could do with a professional consult to go over that men Read more

Such a cute spot for amazing classic brunch. We had a bit of a hiccup getting service due to a kitchen catastrophe and the staff... handled the situation with grace in such a way that I am absolutely impressed. They had a cook walk out on the job while wewere there and somehow were still able to cook our food to perfection. The crepes and omelette were amazing and the bacon wascooked perfectly. If you are thinking of coming here just do it. I couldn?t recommend this spot enough. Read more

Went on a Thurs night and both dishes we ordered were pretty gross. The Angel Hair pasta with shrimp had so much sauce you... couldn't see the pasta. The menu said it was a pesto sauce, and it came with a creamy pink sauce. The Brisket sandwich was dry,sour tasting and looked unappetizing. it could have been a bad night for the chef, but it seemed like whoever cooked our mealsdidn't care, and just schlopped food onto plates. Waiter never checked in on us- took our order and brought the check. Read more
