Kismet - Spokane

I had never tasted many of the foods I ate here. The octopus was quite tender, the Cuban sandwich was very good, also the Carmel bread pudding desert. I enjoyed the Italian raspberry soda.

The fried tacos are incredible. The Duck confit had an amazing smoky richness that was complemented by a bright tangy mojo verde. The duck was cooked to perfection. Prawn paella was a treat as well! Will be back. Nice blue-collar vibe. Big beautiful mural. Amazing food without the gentrification. Someone nominate Chef Dan Gonzalez for a James Beard Award!

Went here for lunch today. The food was amazing and the server was very friendly and wonderful. Worth braving the very cold weather to come and try this place.

I have heard a hundred great reviews about this place. I was excited to finally see for myself. I wanted to love it, but it sadly fell short. I could definitely tell the chef is incredibly talented. Unfortunately, the food was extremely salty, and I like salt and spices. It's not a great value for the price, small portions.We tried the Grilled Queso cheese for an appetizer. This was my favorite thing. We also had the Pork Cheeks with pasta and the Braised short ribs. Both of these were so salty along with the short ribs being almost burned as well. See pictures.The wine choices were very limited but the Sauvignon Blanc was good.Service was a complete struggle. The server was incredibly nice but definitely appeared to be intoxicated. We had to wait for everything and reminded her over and over before she would remember. We were there for an hour and 30 minutes. Way to long, in my opinion.Every place has a bad night once in a while. I will try this place again down the road because I love that it's part of elevating the Hillyard business area.

By far the best restaurant in spokane. We have been here three times recently, and every time the food is beyond amazing and service is fabulous. It’s a must try!
