Pretentious. Lost us at water without ice. Airline chicken... Tiny chicken breast on top of 2 giant Yukon potatoes....2x potato to chicken. Not going back.
My absolute favorite date night restaurant. Gorgeous ambiance, incredible food, impeccable service. The drinks are always top tier. The Loren is my favorite summer cocktail and I wish they would let me buy it by the gallon 😭🤣

To say that this exquisite restaurant is gorgeous, elegant and romantic is an understatement!! To say that the ambience is graced with the most wonderful and refined intimacy is an understatement!! To say that the staff is amazing, friendly and kind-hearted is an understatement!!
My wife and I were here for dinner and it was absolutely amazing in every way!! The ambience was romantic, relaxed, elegant and exquisite!! We had the most wonderful dining experience and everyone there was amazing!! If you're ever fortunate enough to have Jamie as your server when you're here, then you're going to have a even more wonderful dining experience!! She was very sweet, helpful when we were deciding on what we wanted to order, friendly and outgoing!! What a wonderful young lady!! It felt like being in Paris!! Jamie helped me to select and pair an amazing French Chardonnay with the succulent Halibut that I ordered!! The citrus, pear, butter and bright acidity of the Chardonnay paired perfectly with the flakiness and delicate texture of the Halibut along with the soft, lemony creaminess of the sauce that accompanied it!
We will definitely be back again soon and will request Jamie!! She's a doll!! :-)

Wow- what an incredible experience! Every bite was perfection! Service was so attentive and kind. They definitely made my birthday feel special and the ganache dessert was divine! Chicken was cooked perfectly, halibut and scallop chowder was next level, martini was fresh and yummy. Atmosphere was moody and chic, loved the decor and overall vibe. Would definitely return, hopefully soon!

Stopped by Lorén for dinner to get out of the heat and it was incredible. Not only was it actually chill down there (their AC is working!) but the drinks, ambiance and food were the perfect way to end a summers night. We started off with the calamari and fougasse, then ordered the filet and scallops and ended with a crème brûlée for our anniversary. We felt very VIP. Food, service and cocktails were all 10/10. Will come here to get out of the sun any day!

As a very good home cook I regularly find myself disappointed at the many local restaurants where half the menu is sourced in the URM freezer section. Lorèn was amazing- it felt like everything we were served was made with love and care. It was pricey BUT you can see all the time and creativity that goes into every detail. This is the place to go when you want something delicious, exciting and fun. Just accept paying for it, because you don’t get this kind of food, drinks or service at the corner bar and grill, the whole package is worth it. It feels special and that can be hard to find in Spokane. We started with the calamari. It doesn’t look like much on the menu, but the fried lemon, truffle aioli and fried calamari made a perfectly balanced and unique bite. The second course was the rouge salad. Again, simple enough on the menu, but the vinaigrette was the best i have had. Perfectly acidic and balanced by the sweet beets, creamy goat cheese and peppery arugula. For the Main course 3 ladies shared the filet mignon and the poulet vert. Both were wonderfully composed and I would not change a thing. I can’t remember the name of the Dessert but it was a chocolate ganache cake with a blueberry compote that left us speechless. The wine list is not huge, but it includes walla walla standouts like Leonetti, Figgins, Long Shadow and North Star. The cocktails were the best we’ve had- the particular standout was the espresso martini. (Not the one in the menu, what they bring you when you order a regular espresso martini). It was not regular, it was mind blowing. They pull their own shots, have a hint of amaretto and an orange twist and no cream - I will be thinking of that drink for a Long time to come. Service was also outstanding. Friendly, attentive without hovering.the courses were paced out and we had a wonderful time. I wish I could have given 10 out of 5 stars. These guys are doing it right.

High quality food, cocktails and service. Scallops were perfectly cooked, my wife and I enjoyed the rouge salad and french onion soup. Would recommend for any special occasion. Staff makes you feel very important and VIP. We were shown the hidden room by the event manager and she was very nice and informative, will book my next business meeting here.

✨A birthday dinner to remember.✨
We messaged the owner ahead, hoping for something vegan — and the chef went above and beyond. An off-menu lentil loaf made just for my brother. Thoughtful, flavorful, and seriously appreciated. 🙌
What We Ordered at Lorèn:
• Burrata – creamy perfection with roasted grapes & grilled focaccia
• Bistro Salad – butter lettuce, candied walnuts, herbs, and 1836 olive oil vinaigrette
• Rouge Salad – arugula, pickled beets, whipped goat cheese, citrus, pistachios
• Lorèn Beef Burger – espresso bacon jam, black garlic aioli, butter leaf, and gorgonzola. Served with fries and major flavor.
• French Onion Soup – God tier. That rich broth & melty cheese? Worth the hype.
• Espresso Martini – bold, smooth, and perfectly balanced
• Fly Me to the Moon – a cocktail with charm (and a glittery plane ✈️)
• Semifreddo Dessert – rich, chocolatey, decadent
• Off-menu vegan lentil loaf – made just for my brother’s birthday.
Totally custom, totally appreciated. A thoughtful gesture from the chef that made the night extra special.
Lorèn isn’t just dinner — it’s a vibe.

Here's a cleaned-up version of your review, keeping a similar tone to the previous one:
Excellent Dining Experience
We eat out fairly often for special occasions, and I've now visited this restaurant twice, with both experiences being excellent. I typically don't take photos as I find it a bit of a mood breaker.
My first visit was for a party, and I tried to keep my order simple, opting for a burger. (My friend had already put their card down and I didn't want to wrack up the bill *see second visit lol) It was great, and the fries were excellent too.
*On my second visit, I went with my wife. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the specialty cocktails were a perfect 10. We ate like royalty. I ordered 3 appetizers and the halibut, while my wife had the chicken, and we finished with dessert and made eating a sport. Every dish was outstanding—a solid 9. The overall dining experience was on par with other top local spots I've reviewed and love.
Our server seemed a little new or perhaps distracted, but the restaurant was packed, and I understand serving can be challenging on a busy night. Regardless, our food arrived promptly, hot, and delicious. I would definitely visit again.

My husband and I have been here several times and each time we are equally impressed. The filet mignon is the best steak I’ve had in Spokane and my husband raved about the halibut. Cocktails and appetizers were spectacular, and service is always superb. Amongst the top three restaurants in Spokane, in our opinion.
