Wiley’s is a gem. The atmosphere is low-key. The food is high end. Our service was attentive and amazingly friendly. For the menu, the dishes offered are priced well. Overall I thought ours was an amazing experience and I’m surprised Wiley’s wasn’t on my radar sooner since I am from Spokane. Guarantee I’ll be back again and again.

We celebrated my friends Birthday today and went to Wileys for lunch. This was an outstanding choice. We had Chicken Caesar Salad and the Braised Beef Dip with a side of Pea Salad. The desserts were great especially the Chocolate Mousse. Shanelle, our server, was the best. What a great place!

Date night, gone bad. Start off with table arrangement there was four of us sat right in the middle of the restaurant and 10 feet maybe to the door that was opening and shutting several times making it very cold.Waitress was nice, but maybe in the wrong industry, she’s had little comprehension skills got just about everything wrong. Yes I know the bartender,cooks all part of the team so I don’t want her to take all the blame!Asked for a dirty martini with a little extra dirt she even asked before I could if I wanted blue cheese stuffed olives I said yes I’d love that. It came out no dirt just chilled vodka and plain old green olives! My buddy ordered the exact same and got what I wanted so I switched out his blue cheese olive for my bland ones when he was looking, and what I ordered two same order the same way two different martini! Consistency is key especially at the same table in my opinion.Then the wait and wait and wait to place order they weren’t that busy, finally ordered the a shrimp cocktail came out that no one ordered! So told her this is at the wrong table to come to find out she messed up my buddy had ordered shrimp skewers with his steak I will get into that in a minute. She had put it in as a cocktail!We all ordered salad before dinner that are overpriced and flavorless caesar one of the worst tasteless Caesar I’ve ever had!Meal time my buddy and order the exact same steak medium rare he just add shrimp three very small overcooked overpriced skewers to his that were burnt,and dry his steak came out DONE we both ordered medium rare, sorry didn’t get a picture of his steak, mine was cooked as I ordered it so that was a plus, but very salty so salty. I tried to cute the crust off and eat just the middle but the salt was to overwhelming so I didn’t eat it. Mind you I love dirty martini so yes I can handle salt but this was entirely over salted. My husband had the crab stuffed salmon and they had left the skin on the salmon without crisping the skin, then folded it I’m not sure how but like a omelette so the skin as slimy and impossible to eat around, I never found any crab. I had higher hopes we loved this spot when it was Austin live fire so it had a special meaning to us, but over priced for quality! I know rent is high downtown and I get food prices have gone up, it’s hard times for all industries. We don’t mind paying the price if it’s worth it. We don’t recommend this Wiley’s

The food was fantastic. We ordered the Love Bun, Crab Puff, and Ravioli entree. All three dishes were great. The best part of the evening was our service. Shanelle was sincere, kind, and clearly loves her job. Our dinner experience was perfect and we will be returning. The speciality cocktail menu was impressive as well. Definitely recommend the Vanilla Mule.

We wanted to celebrate our daughter-in-law's acceptance to Gonzaga Graduate School, so she picked her favorite restaurant, Wiley's. We had a delicious dinner, and our waitress was SO SWEET and accommodating to our 3 year old granddaughter! It was a perfect evening! Thank you Wiley's!

We really enjoyed our experience here. Came with friends for Restaurant Week, and this place was fantastic! Very small with beautiful artwork on the brick walls. Simple classy vibe. The service was excellent, she was funny and thoughtful. The food and drink runners were also excellent, working together as a team. Started with a Smoked Mozzarella bread with roasted garlic dish as well as a Crab Pastrie appetizer, both delicious. (We ordered from both the regular menu and the Restaurant Week menu) Also, I had a Ceasar salad that was very fresh. Our entrees were Braised Short Rib and Crab topped Salmon. Both are excellent. Finished the meal with Crem Brulee and Key Lime pie, both perfect. I mean...I can't wait to go back! Definitely need a reservation.

Okay Im biased I worked here for 2 years and the environment has been the best kitchen experience I will probably ever find. Wiley is and will always be part of my chosen family and a great mentor. I will continue my culinary journey but he always has my heart wide open ❤️

Wonderful food and atmosphere. For being short staff, I want to thank our waitress. She worked hard and was making sure everyone had what they needed and was doing just an amazing job.

Went out for a special occasion a while back. When we arrived we were told attempts were made to cancel our reservation because the restaurant wanted to close early. The waiter seemed to welcome us in then seemed to resent us being there. We ordered a 4 course meal. The 3 courses served before desert came out at the same time. My entree was cold by the time I started eating it. The vibe was that we were not welcome. If they wanted to close early they should have turned us away. I won't be back.

Lovely dinner. My streak was superb. But the cheese on top was even better! My husband had the beef Wellington and it was great as well. They were kind and efficient! Definitely worth the hype we had heard.

What a wonderful surprise in downtown Spokane. My wife had the beef wellington that would even make Gordon Ramsey proud and I had the crab topped salmon. Both entrees were amazing! Reservations are a must! We will be back!
