We each had the Rigatoni with beef and pork Bolognese, bread crumbs, parmesan. It was some of the best I've ever had, and we've spent time in Italy. Next time we'll try the pizza, which looked very tasty. The staff was very nice and very attentive.

About the restaurant

Turkish, Italian and Greek with a Twist.
The Olive and Grape opened in September 2010. The owner, Paola Corsini, is third-generation Italian Levantine, born and raised in Izmir, Turkey. Paola's distinct culture is represented in the menu at The Olive and Grape. Each and every meal served is infused with the traditions of Turkish and Italian cuisine.

every item on the O & G menu has unique, subtle spices and pizzazz. we love anything with Paola's secret sauce, especially the Musakka. highly recommend anything off the grill, in particular the sockeye salmon we had last night. Salad options are Greek and lightly dressed; our favorite is always the arugula with parmesan. The mezze and small plates are delicious, as well, including the amazing house made hummus and baba ganoush and pita! We dine here often.

Always a pleasure visiting the Oyster farm. The spotlight grilled oysters were fantastic. We also ordered the kale salad which was shared among a few. Great and very fresh. A wonderful Way to end the summer.

Took a visitor from New York here for dinner. Two ordered the seasonal tasting menu and one ordered ala carte. All had the rack of boar for the main. The food was excellent; the best since coming to town said our New Yorker. The service was professional and engaging. Raves to our server, Skye, for her witty sparring with our guest.

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.
