1. Great food and exceptional service as always! Love it. A great spot for special occasions like anniversary dinner and birthday dinner. Also for just fantastic food.

2. I go here about once a year around Christmas time. Kinda pricey but worth it for a real nice dinner ($200 for 2 people)

3. I Have been going to Clinks for special occasions sense I was a child and it is the best food and atmosphere in Spokane. I love it there

4. Always a great time. Excellent wait staff, beautiful decor. I found it a little weird that the tails are left on the shrimp in a pasta dish, but despite this difficulty it was delicious.

5. Great views, incredible seafood choices. Always a terrific meal here

6. Amazing, beautiful, and super interesting intimate place! Absolutely loved it, and the foooooood was amazinggggg, service was great & fast! Definitely want to go again next time I’m in the are.

7. Shout out to Jennifer for making it an awesome experience, the prime rib was stellar as was the lobster tail that was suggested by Jennifer!, My girlfriend loved the clam chowder aswell! I heavily suggest you stop here of you ever stroll through our city. Its a great location and an amazing dinner with a beautiful sunset by the water.

8. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! The lobster tail was recommended to us by our lovely waitress Jennifer and it was the highlight of our meal. My partner got the prime rib cooked to perfection! Never had a better steak. And for me, I had the clam chowder. Took some home to enjoy it one more time 😛

9. Clinkerdagger has been a favorite restaurant of mine almost my entire life. My mom, dad, and myself worked there for many years and have seen many transitions with it. I still love it even though it is far too overpriced for the quality of food the kitchen puts out. It will always have a place in my heart though.

10. Used to be my favorite, but in serious decline. Expensive with the quality of a TV dinner.

11. The service, food, atmosphere, and view was absolutely amazing! It is worth the drive to the middle of Spokane. If you haven’t been here, you are honestly missing out. I can not compliment this place enough!

12. I’m giving 5 stars based on environment, service and my wife’s salmon. My prime rib was prepared well just lacked any flavor, however I would definitely give them another try. The experience was great and price wasn’t as expensive as I thought it might be. Beer was great, they treated my family well and they really enjoyed the experience.

13. We went here for my birthday tonight. I ordered Ribeye steak ($56), medium well. It was a frozen, very dried out steak that was very overcooked. It was less than a half inch thick and so tough I could hardly cut it. Another member of our party ordered the New York steak, medium. It too was flat, had been frozen and was very well done rather than medium. The prime rib was very good. The service was terrible. We had a 4:00 reservation so not too many people there. It took 20 minutes before our order was taken. Then an hour to get our food. The waiter never checked on our food. We had to track him down to get more water and wine. After we were finished (most of the food still remained on our plates), we couldn’t find any servers at all and waited another 40 minutes just to get our bill. Again we had to ask. It was a birthday celebration and the host greeted us with a happy birthday but our waiter said nothing. No dessert or dessert menus were offered. Our meals for 4 people and 2 glasses of wine was $250 not including tip. There are so many other places in Spokane to go for $250 and much better food and service. So disappointed.

14. We ordered the prime rib, it was delicious.

15. Amazing service Nathan was great! Food was delicious. Generous portion sizing. Calamari was so tasty. As was the salmon blta, the Crab sandwich, and the mahi! Great atmosphere and Nathan’s service made it so much more enjoyable you can tell he loves his job!

16. Food was perfect and the waiter was excellent and welcoming

17. Great food, fantastic view and fun atmosphere. Great view of the river

18. What an amazing place! A piece of history sitting right on the river. This place has an ambience that you just can’t duplicate these days. The food was great, the staff was professional but friendly and the wine list was a mile long! If I had any gripe it would be the on tap beer list. There were enough beer offerings but they only had 3 available on tap. This is one of those places that is really an experience in itself.

19. I took my family to clink and daggers for my son’s birthdays who are 4 and 5 years old. When I made the reservation they asked if I had any special occasion and I shared that both of my sons had birthdays a year apart. While we were there they didn’t acknowledge that we were having a celebration but I heard my waitress acknowledged two ladies who were sitting behind us who were also celebrating their birthday. After that we were waiting about for food my kids started to get restless so I asked for my entrees to go. There were no issues with my kids food but me and my husband ordered Bolognese pasta dish. When we open the to-go boxes when we got home one of the orders was open and just smushed and put in there carelessly and my order only had two pieces of me and my husband’s had one small piece of me on top of that herb pasta was not cooked the pasta was extremely chewy and inedible I could not even finish my dish. The whole experience was extremely disappointed. My kids had the axe to go somewhere fancy for their birthday is and that’s what I picked and obviously I regret it. Had this been my first experience at that restaurant I would never never go there again. If you ever ordered takeout from there check your orders before you pay and before you leave.

20. Had lunch here for Valentine’s day. Got seated right overlooking the river. Amazing atmosphere. Very friendly service especially for being booked completely full. Might just be the best food in all of Spokane (my humble opinion), and portion sizes are larger than you would expect from a fancier establishment. Will definitely prioritize this restaurant for our special occasions.

21. Kinda felt bad for the employees if I’m being honest… They looked so stressed and overworked. Understaffed for sure. Took about 35 ish minutes for our appetizers to come out and by the time our entrees came out it was close to closing time. (Our reservation was at 6) our party definitely felt more uncomfortable than anything. We don’t like staying past close and creating more work for the employees. Overall the food was good. Only “complaint” really was it was a hefty price for some rather small lobster tails. Might come again when this pandemic is over and the understaffed issues resolves…

22. Last time we went everything was impeccable. Tonight not so much. Mostly disappointed in the prime rib. My husband ordered a prime rib medium rare and it was pretty much well done. When the server asked about how our food was and if temps were to our liking I said ish and pointed out his prime rib. She said yeah I know and left the table. Didn’t fix it or replace it. Still tipped her 20% on a $400 bill but wish it would’ve been handled better especially because it was my husbands birthday dinner. Oh well. I shared my medium rare filet mignon with him that was cooked nicely and that made up for it I guess.

23. Portions were a bit small for the price, but delicious we’ll prepared. The staff is very nice and the views of the falls make it well worth the trip. Even considering price, get the seafood. The Almond and Parmesean Crusted Scallops are recommended.

24. Great steaks with some serious horseradish mixture. Definitely worth trying! I’ll be back the next time I’m in town.

25. The food was amazing! The atmosphere was also amazing! The waiter was fun and quirky, but I felt some of his comments were a little rude. Also when we went there the restaurant was empty and they didn’t give us a good spot. Overall I was happy about the service. Staff could have been a little more attentive.

26. I had the shrimp and scallop fedachini it was amazing … You do need to make reservations it is spendy but worth it … While this was still good but for the money I would go to Beverly’s or satay if you are going to spend that kind of money I prefer to spend it on a little better my shrimp was over cooked that being said the fedichini was very good and flavorful and the service was outstanding

27. We came for my Birthday week and it was also the start of restaurant week! The clam chowder was the best we have ever had, the prime rib incredible, and the cheese cake was wow! Our sever was friendly and we had a nice view of the river!!
    The pictures didn’t turn out great, but it is well worth going there!

28. Excellent prime rib and salmon! Service very professional, efficient and friendly.

29. Restaurant week….. the pea salad was amazing. Salmon and scallops cooked beautifully. Love the Brussel sprouts. The burnt cream had a nice flavor…. perfectly done! The executive chef should be proud.

30. Had the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. castle themed decor. Friendly service.

31. We decided to try it out for restaurant week since it’s a Spokane staple. The space is large, though fairly crowded and very hot. The service was quite good for how busy they were. We both got the Caesar salad, which was extremely good – I’m a huge fan of excessive garlic and lemon in my Caesar dressing and this had both. I got the prime rib, rare; it was cooked perfectly and came with fresh horseradish hot enough to make me cry. My companion got the salmon and scallops, both of which were moist, flavorful, and well cooked. The star of the show was the dessert. I ordered the RW chocolate cake, but they were out and substituted their other (standard?) chocolate cake. It was absolutely incredible. I never want another dessert again. It’s super dark chocolate with a molten middle, extra rich, extra creamy, just delicious from top to bottom.

    There’s a reason the place is so well known and I’m excited to try the rest of their menu.

32. service

33. Amazing view of the river rapids! Beyond that things fell well short of what we anticipated. It started with substandard service. Our waitress ignored my young son. The clam chowder was far from one of the best in Spokane, google had that wrong. Little flavor was found with this dish. Crab artichoke dip was similar in regards to flavor. Bottom line for all that we heard about the restaurant, it failed to live up to its hype. At least they have the view.

34. Awesome service. Awesome food. Last night of restaurant week was GREAT!!

35. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had! Great view of the Spokane River too!

36. I came here with the idea that I wanted to prove that this place wasn’t as good as everyone said, but despite my conviction, I was proved wrong.

    Their Clam Chowder was amazing, Prime Rib cooked to perfection, and the Cheescake was to die for. On top of that, the service was top notch and truly showed a classy professionalism.

    Great food, service, and ambiance. Definitely a must go if you have not yet.

37. Great starters from the lobster bisque or french onion soup or one of their amazing salads. I do feel bad, though, because with such an amazing menu, we always end going for their rock salt crusted prime rib

38. We were very disappointed with our food on st paddy’s night. Steak was not ok. Fettuccine was dry. Normally very good food. We hope this was an anomaly.

39. We were very disappointed with our food on st paddy’s night. Steak was not ok. Fettuccine was dry. Normally very good food. We hope this was an anomaly.

40. The service was phenomenal and the food was absolutely divine! Overlooking the falls, the setting was perfect. Great for a night out with friends, family or a date!

41. My bf made reservations for my bday. Got there early so we’re told to get a drink at the bar and stand and wait. Asked for window seating and were reminded thee were a few parties ahead so who knows – no real desire to accommodate or even really give options despite being told that he could get this for the occasion. Left and happily went somewhere else. Was very busy and noisy.

42. The service staff were amazing. We are on vacation and accidentally made reservations for the wrong night but they found a way to make us a table! The food is top notch. We ordered the trio appetizer and all we can say is WOW! The seared teriyaki tips was out of this world. The view from the dining area overlookooks the waterfalls, very beautiful. The interior is also beautiful!

43. We really looked forward to go to dinner tonight and we’re thoroughly disappointed. We had the shrimp cocktail, the shrimp were soft and dry (old). My main course was the filet and usually it melts in Your mouth but today it was chewy and tough. The mashed potato’s were soupy. I did like the creamed kale. That was about it. My husband had the prime rib and it was not up to par as it usually is. For desert we had the chocolate molten cake and even that was not what we are used to. I would have said something right away on all the courses but we were with company and I did not want to be “the one”. The service was good as always. All in all we were very disappointed and I hope I won’t get sick tonight.

44. Underwhelming and over priced. The food was bland, not properly cooked and expensive. super disappointed. Sadly my $30 steak at Outback the previous night was way better than the $60 filet I ordered. The staff was super nice so props to them.

45. We’ve had a few really great experiences here but the last couple times have really disappointed us. Tonight we came in and waited an hour and a half for our food and one of our dishes wasn’t what we ordered, we didn’t say anything because we didn’t want to wait another hour for the right dish so we decided to try it and it was dry and over cooked. I didn’t want to complain because I knew our waiter was busy but it was horrible. For how much we spent it was not worth it. So disappointing.

46. Expensive but never disappoints

47. The experience was great and price wasn’t as expensive as I thought it might be. Beer was great, they treated my family well and they really enjoyed the experience.

48. portion sizes are larger than you would expect from a fancier establishment. Will definitely prioritize this restaurant for our special occasions.

49. As always, the experience was wonderful. The service is great and the food delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very comfortable and homey. If you have been there yet, go check it out!

50. Had a lovely lunch overlooking the beautiful Spokane River and Riverfront Park. Service was excellent, as well. Clinkerdagger never disappoints! (But, it is a bit pricey for my budget, so I tend to reserve it for specific occasions. )

51. A nice restaurant. Decent food, but not really worth the price they charge. They do make a killer lemon drop, though! Recommend calling ahead and make reservations to get good tables.

52. The aestetic was amazing! Absolutely in love with that. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Food was MEH! We got the Crab and Spinich dip to start, to me it tasted like tuna, but my freind enjoyed it. So I won’t knock it because of my taste buds. She got the Pork chop, and I got the halibut. The pork chop tasted great by itself, but the apricot topping tasted just like ketchup, like actual ketchup. The halibut was good, but the rice was dry and it just didn’t justify the extreme price tag of $46. We had to send back the green beans, and the margarita. The green beans were under cooked, and the margarita looked beautiful, but tasted like rubbing alcohol. Will most likely not come back, but like I said, the staff was amazing and made it nice.

53. We sat in the bar, which is the only place you can get the happy hour deals, unfortunately. The drinks are reasonable and good quality: strong and big. The appetizers run from $4 up and are very good. Our server was wonderful fun and excellent.

54. My Girlfriend and I went here today for the first time and it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had! Our server Joe was absolutely amazing and was probably the best server I have ever encounter! The food was so amazing and so was the atmosphere and the view! Definitely the best restaurant in Spokane! Highly recommend!

55. Just popped in with no reservation. Staff was eager to help. Got us seated at the bar. Staff were flying around in a very organized chicken with its head cut off. I was amazed at how they rocked it. Had the fish and chips, wife had clam chowder. Yummy. Will let our Canadian friends know about this place.

56. Stopped in on Friday afternoon to celebrate a few achievements. We had no reservation and were seated immediately.

    Started with the Sampler Trio, which included crab artichoke dip & bread, beef teriyaki bites with pineapple on rice, and coconut shrimp with a citrus dip with a bit of spice. Everything was delicious, but the crab & artichoke dip was our favorite.

    We both got the prime rib for our main course. It had a delicious, mild horseradish butter that was cut by the au jus. So if you’re not a fan of horseradish, definitely take advantage of that au jus. The combination of flavors is worth it.
    The sides:I love kale any day, but I know other people don’t. Whatever they did to the kale made it much more palatable for those pickier eaters. It was fabulous to me. And what can go wrong with creamy mashed potatoes? The 12oz cut was huge. They offer a 16oz cut. Our server boxed up half our meal to take home.

    We wrapped up with cheesecake for dessert. It came with caramel drizzle and some strawberries.

    I was not disappointed in this celebration dinner.

57. My husband had a business dinner there earlier tonight, the meal at restaurant was good. He ordered the nut crusted brie & bread and a creme brulee to go for me… the boxes were packed neatly in bag but no bread, brie was puddled in bottom of box completely separate from nut crust and creme brulee was slopped in the bottom of too big container. Not impressed.

58. Disappointed. Butter on bread tastes of seafood, when I didn’t have any. Obviously cross contaminated. Au ju lacked any beef flavor. Too expensive for a bad meal.

59. Great view of the river. Very cool vibe to the place. Amazing beer, wine, cocktail menu. I like the classic cocktails with a twist. The food menu was a bit limited, but that’s ok. Wasn’t super hungry just had the clam chowder. Was very good once I realized it was red because of the overhead lighting.

    Staff/service was 5 star for sure.

    Friday night, highly recommended reservations

60. Steaks were perfecto, wine was on point, desert was just enough. Great service as well, manager stopped by to check in

61. I have enjoyed going to Clinks a few times a year for the last 20 years. Unfortunately I went this weekend and it just isn’t the same. They changed their food and drink menu and the choices are not as good. The iconic pea salad doesn’t taste as good nor the crème brûlée. I ordered an old fashioned and the orange liquor was overpowering. The service, meh. Pretty bummed. I won’t be going back anytime soon.

62. Herb n soda cocktail was divine, calamari was great and the salmon BLT. I ordered the French onion soup as well, not as impressed but I am a hard critic for FO soup.

63. Very good, nice. Fun place for dinner but seating is crowded. I think cook was too busy. Burned my steelhead salmon.

64. Samon wasnt cooked in the middle, asparagus was woody. They were out of what we wanted (halibut, rib eye, food cold. Drinks were good. Took for ever to get our order. Ordered desert took over 25 minutes.

65. The service was very slow. It was an average wait time of an hour for anything we ordered. Then they didn’t have half of anything we wanted. The salmon was cold when it arrived. The asparagus was like celery consistency. The first time I had a bad experience, to the point I may not try it again.

66. What a huge disappointment. Used to live in Spokane and frequent it often. Went to eat there with 3 couples on Saturday night. The meals were cold for some and lukewarm for others. Apology from manager but no discount offered. The prime rib had so much fat on it. Salmon was overcooked and dried out. The key lime pie, my favorite was bland not tart as in years passed. Not going to spend a dinner there ever again. Waste of money.

67. I have heard mixed reviews from other locals, but our experience was top notch. We went during the week, got a seat overlooking the falls.

    Food was spectacular. Service was excellent. Made the day very special.

68. Wait staff was great. I had fish and it was good. Loved the homemade tarter sauce!

69. Love this place good and service is always top shelf! Usually get the filet mignon but went for the steelhead based on servers recommendation and it did not disappoint! Go early and get a seat next to the fall’s for a spectacular view!

70. Under cooked salmon is not cool. Asparagus burnt beyond recognition. Seafood fettuccine was fabulous.

71. Had some really delicious food, probably the best chicken I’ve ever eaten. Drinks were a little stiff, luckily I really like it that way 🙂 had a great business dinner, would highly recommend going here for the fancy occasion!

72. We arrived early. Busy night with graduations and Hamilton. We were seated at our reservation time. My nephew has glutin allergy and a male server from the bar made sure he had a buttered, toasted glutin free bun to eat with our crab dip appetizer while we had regular. Wish I could remember his name. Food was delicious and service great. We had a window so the view was amazing.

73. Excellent meal, great steak! Friendly staff and good views. They messed up the kid meal twice but had a quick turn around time fixing it.

74. We snuck in under the wire for lunch (about 3 PM). Had a cozy table in the bar area. Rigatoni was scrumptious. Caesar salad with shrimp scampi was very good. Only question was whether the shrimp were for a shrimp cocktail. Still the food was fine. We’ve had a great time there whenever we stop in.

75. Had a scallop plate with a nice cream sauce for dinner accompanied by a delightful summer drink that had the cutest edible micro orchids. I tried one and it was light and crunchy and had a slight cucumbery flavor!

76. Food was extremely salty.
    The waiter was slow and not very pleasant

77. Brie on the deck in the summer! Can’t beat it!

78. Brought a client here for Dinner on a Saturday eve. It was busy, so we opted for the bar rather than wait for a table. It was a terrific experience. Bar tenders were very busy, but still engaging and made us a couple of drinks, their favs that met our described likes. Food was excellent. Great experience, truly reasonable pricing.

79. The food didn’t taste any better than what we would have at Red Lobster or Olive Garden, except we paid a lot more for it. The sodas came in tiny glasses with lots of ice. My glass still had someone’s lipstick all over it. The table was wobbly. The food menu seemed pretty limited to me; the drinks menu was longer because of all the wines, so if you like wine, maybe you’ll enjoy this place more than we did. The view was kind of nice and the service was A+.

80. Guess I’m not used to fancy dining if that means small portions of food for an exorbitant price and noisy atmosphere.

81. Outstanding service and food (save room for the key lime pie), and an awesome river view. Make sure to sit close enough to the windows to watch the marmot family by the water!

82. We came for dinner and enjoyed cocktails, the Trio tasting appetizer, and steaks/pork chops for dinner. It was all delicious and we well attended to by our server. We love the ambiance- and the view of SpokanE Falls was amazing.

83. Really close to the best meal I have ever had. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. Do yourself a favor and have the Creme Brule for dessert. Georgeous views of the falls and outdoor seating available.

84. Sirloin was really tough. No staff asked about the quality of the food. Manager came and asked how everything was. I said a quiet ‘ok I guess’ He then walked away. Server did not ask about the food. The prime rib my wife had was excellent though

85. Expensive, but good fish and excellent view of the river and falls.

86. Another top restaurant we should frequent more often. Ambiance, service and food are all top level. Price points remain lower than comparable restaurants.

87. I don’t review normally but I think I need to at this point. We just are at your establishment for Father’s Day. The service was great and our server was wonderful. However, none of the food was good. My son had Prime Rib served cold as was his French onion soup. My husband has an wedge salad that wasn’t and he had commented that it tasted sour and didn’t finish it. He woke up this morning with most likely food poisoning and got sick. Pasta poor and the pork chops dry. Very disappointing will not be going back.

88. Got what I wanted…Perfectly cooked steak. No photos, it was gone too fast.

89. We had a beautiful day celebrating Father’s Day, and a graduation. This is a great place to enjoy a wonderful view of the river and riverfront area while enjoying a delicious dinner. Our table was out on the back side window with a view of it all, the staff was so awesome and gracious. The food was so delicious and the presatation great. We enjoyed our visit and want to say how much we enjoy our day!

90. My son-in-law planned a nice meal at Clinkerdagger after a ballet recital for a party of six seated (with children) at the waterfront. Five hours before the reservation, he called to add more people to our party. The host acknowledged “the restaurant can accommodate the party of eleven if we could come in at 8pm”.
    We showed up before 8pm and greeted by the host who recognized we had arrived and were waiting on another party to leave before our table was ready. The host came out three times making the same statement, ‘’ It is difficult to accommodate a large party in such a short notice’’.
    I had my suspicions he was fabricating the story as a party of nine walked in without delay and several parties came out of the restaurant. We were seated about 8:30pm.
    The host told our party that when the weather was good, the restaurant was booked solid every day of the week. I could not help noticing all the tables directly on the waterfront were empty the entire time we were at the restaurant, another fabrication by the host. We could have been seated at the waterfront with a wait.
    The wait staff were polite and accommodated the children of the party. The Shirley Temple’s took time to gather due to running out of lids for the drinks, beer and wine took a long time. After our orders were taken, our server came out to let us know they were out of bread and had to substitute with hamburger buns. It took almost an hour before dinner was served! One member of our party did not have her dinner as the chef forgot it…. I feel bad for our server who had to explain the issue, maybe the chef or host should have given the news.
    My potatoes were cold, scallops were hot (and delicious), and the asparagus was completely raw. The potatoes were bland and no salt on the table. One member of the party had the pasta took two bites. The pasta was dry and tasteless. My question, is there a real chef cooking? Or were they just holding the food, waiting, who knows? It was clear the food/order was sent out without first approval of a chef. Most of the food was wasted/left on the plate.
    When we left, all the doors were locked, we had to find an open door leading to the outside. I felt like our party was penalized for changing the reservation five hours in advance. Why tell someone to come in at 8pm, when the restaurant closes at 9pm during the weekdays.
    So the moral of our terrible time at Clinkerdagger’s: do not bring children, do not change reservations even though the host said they could accommodate, and bring salt.

91. If you can get a table on the patio you will get a great view. The food was decent, but presentation wasn’t what you would expect from this type of a restaurant. The service was good, but slow, maybe due to the kitchen.

92. A memorable dinner for sure! Excellent food, service, and ambiance. The patio overlooking the river is incredible. Try to make a reservation with a patio request in advance as it’s the most desirable spot and books fast. Very high end experience!

93. Lots of staff but service was slow took over an hour to receive food. My open faced crab artichoke sandwich was tasty but the bread was over toasted and difficult to chop through. Wine was nice and the views were excellent it was …okay

94. Food was excellent but the time to get it felt like forever. Seems to be a common issue these days.

95. View was amazing but sitting on the patio with no umbrella in 85+ degrees was unpleasant, asked for an umbrella but didn’t have enough. Took umbrella from his servers for another table. Silverware was so hot I got a blister on my finger from picking up. Invest in some umbrellas for your guests and servers. $9 for grilled chicken on my salad and it was thin and like shoe leather. Worst part was I commented to the manager about all of the above and got a shrug and blamed the kitchen for the chicken. Will not be back.

96. We made a reservation and arrived early and saw there was space at the bar so we asked the guy at the host station if we could have a drink at the bar while we wait. He totally ignored what I asked and told us he’d try to get us seated at our table early. Meanwhile, two ladies who came in after us sat at the bar to wait for their reservation. The service was good once we were sat and the food and drinks were great. However, the small children crawling all over the booth right next to us wasn’t so great. At a fine dining establishment, it would be nice if there was some semblance of policing of obnoxious kids crawling all over the place and ruining the experience for adults trying to have a nice meal.

97. Amazing food, amazing view, and amazing service! It’s a must when you’re in Spokane!

98. Pricey food, with small portions (depending on what you order) but good quality and awesome atmosphere. View of the river from the outdoor patio. Oh and they are a bit pretentious so make a reservation.

99. Great service. Great atmosphere. Been dining here for over 30 years. However, the Prime Rib was juicy but a bit tough & fatty. It didn’t melt in your mouth like it used to. Underwhelmed and disappointed in the $50 steak but everything else was top notch.

100. Visiting from out of town and had lunch today. The only reason to go here is the view of the water on the deck. We had the open faced crab sandwich and sole entree. The sandwich was basically just artichoke dip with melted cheese on toast and the sole was super thin and so crusted with crunchy cheese, I barely knew it was fish. I was surprised by the low quality seafood considering its pricey and “well-reviewed” for Spokane. Additionally the $4 iced tea was so weak it tasted like water.

     The owner replied with a link that doesn’t work to give feedback.

101. Birthday celebration on the patio was fabulous. Our group of twelve got good service from Travis. We did drinks & appetizers, including the coconut shrimp, crab & artichoke dip (my personal fav), teriyaki steak bites which come with rice, scampi alfredo (definitely trying that next time), & baked brie (my friend tells me it didn’t have that moldy chalk flavor some do). Delightful & delish. Always enjoy Clinks & recommend it fir special occasions or a HH with girlfriends in the bar (the crab dip is a HH standard.

102. What an absolutely wonderful dinner! I had a dear friend in town for an unexpected visit. Clinkerdagger Steak & fish house.

103. Loved going out to eat at Clinkerdagger funky 70s decor, Was amazing our waiter was super helpful in Giving us great meal recommendations!!! Definitely will be back

104. Expensive but 100% worth it. Food is top of the line and atmosphere is amazing. Definitely recommend creme brulee.

105. Take the time to visit here. Amazing staff and ambiance. I ordered the cerviche shrimp and prime rib. Quality dining experience

106. The atmosphere was good we sat in the bar area ordered steak and shrimp. The steak was over cooked and the service was rather poor for the price point.

107. Nice setting, easy to find, free parking and good seating. Menu has some nice selections but definitely could use an injection of creativity. Really enjoyed the nut crusted brie appetizer. The grilled lobster tail was over cooked. The beurre Blanc was missing chopped tarragon.

     Creme brulee was tasty but ordinary. Wine list was good but didn’t have many moderately priced options. For a restaurant the portrays itself as a seafood restaurant the selection of meat dishes was equal to that of seafood. Good news for meat lovers, but would have loved to see something beyond salmon, halibut, lobster, shrimp and scallops.

     A bit pricey but to be expected. Service was good overall, and our server let us relax and enjoy, attentive in just the right amount

108. Prime rib was too tough to cut…
     Replacement was better but still not
     the best. Margaritas were very good.

109. Good food, good atmosphere, just slightly underwhelming with the quality but still good. A little loud. Definitely would still go back.

110. Nice food, scenery and service. But had to wait a while before we could eat. Brian was nice to drop the price of the salad

111. My favorite place in Spokane. I always have a top notch dining experience.

112. Good was great. SERVICE was horrible. Waited over 10 minutes to have water and menus and that was only because I went up front and requested some service

113. We were there for our anniversary and treated very well (free dessert which was a surprise!). The baked Brie was wonderful! My boyfriend ordered the scallops. He was served 5 very small scallops and a small portion of the asparagus and potato side, definitely not enough to feel full. I had the salmon and shrimp Louie. The salmon was hot (served on the lettuce) with the rest of the salad around the plate. The shrimp was good. It was quite busy and a bit short staffed so not a place to eat if you have plans after your meal. The staff was incredibly friendly which was greatly appreciated! Three stars was very much based on the very small portion of scallops and the length of time between courses.

114. This is one of my favorite places. I switch up the main course every time. Their pea salad and clam chowder is famous though. Delicious!

115. Took so long to get order thought waitress forgot us. Good .. not above standard fare. Very pricey. Great views through windows

116. The scallops sounded really good but they weren’t the best. Despite that the servers were excellent and the drinks, appetizers and sides were all excellent.

117. Food is pretty good but rather pricy. It might be worth it if you secure a table with a view of the falls, not otherwise.

118. Fabulous experience all around. We made a reservation for five and apologetically arrived with seven, having acquired a few party crashers on the walk over; the extras were happy to go sit at the bar, of course, but the host was able to find us a larger table, which we were really grateful for. Everything looked amazing from where I was sitting, and everyone seems to have been really happy with their food. Personally, I ordered the shrimp Louie, which was excellent in every respect, well-balanced and correctly portioned and its warm parts perfectly cooked. As a denizen of the East Coast I’d never had one before, and I think it may displace the Cobb as my new favorite dinner salad.

119. The location is mainly why this place was picked. So unless your seated outside or right by the window. Then it’s not worth being here. The staff is wonderful and we didn’t mind any waiting. The food is over priced for the portion sizes. The drinks are also over priced as well. Thankfully they bring bread (though late into being seated). The menu is very small. Guess I should have realized small menu small portions lol. Not a bad time but wouldn’t make this a regular place.

120. A little on the pricey side but I’ve never had a bad meal. Everything is always amazing! Super cool building, and really neat restaurant. I also love their Christmas set up… lol

121. You don’t come here for the food, you come for the incomparable view over the Spokane River. Not that the food is bad, it just didn’t make my tastebuds sing. Service is cheerful and friendly. The Olde Tyme atmosphere is pretty cool. It’s an institution in the area – food is good but there’s better to be had elsewhere. But that view is most definitely worth it!

122. I made reservations on a Thursday for lunch the next day and requested the corner window seat and champagne for our 33rd wedding anniversary. Upon arrival immediately taken to out table. Champagne poured order taken and arrived with perfect timing, amount and flavor. Our wait staff 3 of them was very attentive, engaging, and friendly. An amazing complementary piece of mocha pie was served and the event made perfect. We frequent the establishment about 2times per year and service is always 5 star. Thank you guys for a very nice lunch.

123. Really not sure how this place has 4.5 stars. I give the view and patio 4.5 stars and that’s about it. I was so disappointed with the food. The service was good, my waitress was friendly and on top of it but wow that food was pretty sad. My boyfriend paid $50 for prime rib and I got mahi mahi. My fish was so dry I could barely chew it. The side dish positions were so small for the both of us, you’d think for the prices they would be more generous with the servings. This place is overpriced for subpar food. I would only recommend if you’re having drinks and small plates. Even then, way over priced and mediocre quality.

124. Went there last night for our 16th wedding anniversary. My wife got the steak and i got the shrimp scampi. It was 85 degrees in the dinning room at our table. Way to hot. Ordered some drinks and while very good not worth 15$ a glass. My glass was only a little over half full to top it off. While my wife said her meal was great, mine was probably the worse meal I have ever had. The shrimp were cold and Garlic…..so much Garlic. I love Garlic, but as a spice/ingredient. The Mash potatoes must have had a gallon of butter and 14 cloves of Garlic to 1 Potatoe. The asparagus was soggy and again dripping in butter. Absolutely no taste to my meal but Garlic and butter. 5 shirmp about 1.5 cups of potatoes and maybe 10 very small asparagus for $25. Not worth it at all. The Caesar salad was great. Service was great. Food, cost and environment…not so much. Also took over 1 hour to get our meal…another 15 min to take our order and almost 15 min to get our check. Over 1.5 hours. Need to speed things up !!

125. What a great place to eat dinner! We sat outside even though it was a very warm day. The wait staff was excellent, moving umbrellas as the sun was moving. Everyone’s meal was delicious. I had the porkchop dinner!! Delicious! Definitely recommend this place

126. Wonderful table with a beautiful view of the Spokane River! Service was good, food was excellent, drinks were fabulous! This is a tip-top restaurant!

127. Amazing food. Huge (small plates)

128. Great atmosphere and location. Love the views of the Spokane River. Perfect restaurant for a date, to impress guests or just for fun.

129. Overall, an underwhelming experience. We ordered the prime rib and the shrimp scampi. The prime rib was okay but overpriced. My cut was very fatty which made it difficult to enjoy the herb crust. The mashed potatoes for both dishes were oversalted. The cream kale was gross – and I usually love kale. The shrimp scampi was bland and dry. Maybe would have been acceptable if the food was significantly cheaper. I likely will not return or recommend. The lemonade and service was good.

130. unquestionably worth the hype.

     salmon was perfectly tender. I forgot to ask for dressing on the side but my salad was perfectly dressed anyway. I usually feel the need to add salt to everything when I eat out, but didn’t need to here.

131. One of the Best Ribeyes and Blackened Coho Salmon I have ever eaten. Ranks as one of the best meals ever eaten. I’ve been a airline employee and have eaten worldwide.

132. Out looking over the water, great food and awesome drinks

133. I attended a wedding here and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Not only was the area downstairs nice and cool on a hot day, it had a funky vibe, like a trip back in time. and I highly recommend it if you are in the mood to get married. The food that was served buffet-style was delicious. As for the actual restaurant with that you can just show up and dine at, I can’t say much.

134. Great view and ambience. Really like the seasonal menu options. Highly recommend the salmon and halibut.

135. Small uninspired lunch offerings that relied on French fries to fill the plate. I guess with COVID shortages they have had to slim down the menu offerings and variety. Beautiful view of the river.

136. wonderful romantic views on the patio. Had our honeymoon dinner here, The chef’s choice in fish was excellent, our prime rib was cooked perfectly. Could not have asked for a more perfect dinner experience. you can come here for informal meetings or the holiest most important night of your life, it suits all. Great atmosphere!

     Went back 2 years later, still great food. Even though we had a little problem this time the staff wasore than willing to make it right for us, and even got us an extra desert to make up for it.

137. This place is wonderful. Good scenic view of the river, amazing steak, and great service overall. We had a great time here. Would definitely recommend to anyone in search of good food and good times.

     Zippy

138. So I have been here multiple times and it seems to be hit and miss. Sometimes it’s great but other times they are just off their game which for the money is not worth it. The servers have always been great but when you get a filet mignon medium rare and it chews back something isn’t right.

139. Great view, food and experience.

140. The food was great, the service was better. My steak was cooked perfect.

141. Good food good times

142. OMG The best pork chop I’ve ever had! So good a shared it to show people!

143. Overpriced for what you get. And if you make reservations, you’re probably gonna wind up crammed in a corner and ignored the entire time you’re there

144. It was horrible! We had two drinks and they cut us off because we were singing happy birthday. However, the table by us were also singing and they didn’t get cut off. The fish was burned. I won’t go there ever again!

145. My wife and I had such a great experience here. Our server, I believe his name was Adolfson, was outstanding. He answered every question we had and gave excellent recommendations. We had the coconut shrimp as an appetizer which was amazing. Salmon and Wagyu sirloin were incredible. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a great environment, great food and great service. Thank you Clinkerdagger and Adolfson!!

146. Fantastic through and through.

147. Great food, great service and loved the atmosphere. Will be back again!

148. We came here for our 4th anniversary and it was awesome. The wine was good and reasonably priced. The appetizers were fantastic. We split a crusted Halibut. Perfect meal and staff was great. A big bonus was the free desert they gave us for our anniversary.

149. My wife and I went here for our anniversary and I had the ribeye and lobster tail and I think she had a parmesan chicken. Everything was so amazing from the food to the drinks and a free dessert. The service was top notch as well. So we decided to go there for my Son’s birthday and it was a disaster. Party of eight and the service was awful, it took almost 2 hours to get are food, no refills were offered and when the food finally came some of it was cold. All of this to get a astronomical bill. I was actually bragging to my family that was from out of town about how good this place was. We will be going somewhere else on our next special occasion. For how much they charge it should be like our first experience every time! We were very irritated and disappointed at the same time. Good luck! I guess it is hit and miss.

150. Came for a birthday celebration. Great atmosphere on the deck and wonderful service. Delicious food and drinks. They even gave the birthday girl a free slice of mocha creme pie. Definitely our go to birthday place!

151. It’s a cool place for a date or a dinner with family and friends. It can be a bit hectic, make reservations. The service was good and the food was pretty great. The only complaint I have is that I asked for medium rare, and my prime rib was pretty much raw. I’ve been a chef and worked in the Industry for 15+ years. I know raw vs rare. With that said… I ate it anyway lol. And it was still good to me.. maybe not someone else. I didn’t ask the waiter to fix the issue he was really busy and I didn’t want to be a pain, so it’s my bad anyway. Everyone else’s plates looked good. Fun place, I recommend.

152. It was descent very cool environment. Could use a little more open space. Seating was close quarters and crowded

153. Excellent atmosphere, tucked out of the way and food is excellent here.

154. Great service as the open face crab and avocado sandwich was excellent

155. Had an amazing view of the Spokane River, bread w garlic butter was amazing, oysters on half shell came out quickly. We tried the spicy prickly pear margaritas and a bright watermelon basil vodka based ‘ soda ‘. Had the seasonal Arugula and berry salad. All starters presented and tasted very well. Ordered prime rib and filet mignon, this place knows how to do a medium rare PR and a 145 degree FM, kudos to the chef and waitstaff!

156. So it has a great view, absolutely stunning. The interior ambiance is warm and inviting. The drinks are great, the service is great, the appetizers are great. So why the 3 stars? The lobster tail was raw in the middle, the food was bland, and honestly for the price I was under impressed. I mean it boasts high-end but really it was just high price.

157. Amazing atmosphere and food.

158. Not very handicap accessible. But food good, service great

159. Being a Real Estate Broker in Spokane sure has its benefits! We are spoiled with excellent cuisine at affordable prices. Last night, the in laws and I were able to enjoy a nice Clinkerdagger experience! Not only was the food incredible (my wife got the Salmon with Pistachio Pesto and I got the Almond Crusted Sea Scallops) but the service was top notch! Nate was our server and made sure all our needs were met, and for a party of 8 he outdid himself! Needless to say we will be back as this is on of our favorite restaurants in Spokane!

160. This used to be our go to place for special occasions and fine dining, emphasis on used to. The food has gone from outstanding to mediocre at best, the service went from amazing to nothing to take note of, and the furnishings are old and tired. The booth seat was broken, the glasses kept trying to slide off the table and the atmosphere was not as nice as it used to be. My steak was just another steak I could have had at any restaurant (for about 30% less than I paid at Clinkerdaggers), my daughter’s pasta was dried out and the prawns were rubbery and overcooked, and my wife’s scallops were the size of quarters, with only 3. Also my wife can’t eat potatoes, so she asked for a substitute. Was given plain dry pasta at first. Then they added a bit of garlic butter when asked. Spent almost two hours there, not by choice. This was with a reservation. Very disappointed. We are now done with Clinkerdaggers. Never again.

161. We had a reservation but still waited quite a while. Our waitress was really nice but kind of hard to find when my friend wanted more bread. The food was delicious but not very warm. The asiago crusted sole with beurre blanc was amazing! The drinks were yummy and strong! The view was gorgeous. Free parking.

162. Scenery, staff, and atmosphere were nice. The food could have been better.

163. Great view, hard working staff, eclectic decor. Good: calamari, crème brûlée, prime rib, fries, French onion soup. Bad: Sautéed veggies were raw, cheesecake was frozen in the middle, limited menu, the meal took over 2 hours. We’ll keep looking for a favorite place.

164. Amazing restaurant location and service. If you get an outdoor table, you can see the river and the upper falls. The biggest disappointment was the food. I picked the fish of the day which was halibut fish. The fish was so salty that i had a hard time finishing the food. The veggies and rice where season to perfection. The cheesecake was a disappointment as well. I had better cheesecake from supermarkets. Whats the point to give out a big peace of cake if the flavors are off. Anyway, 1st time to this restaurant but i will not be back.

165. Good food. Steak was cooked to perfection. Service was very good despite it being busy. And it is a good location with outdoor dining on the verandah.

166. The food was fantastic, the staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere tied it all in.
     Next time though, please don’t let the kids that absolutely reek of bong water and body odor in. They really messed things up. Them kids were the only thing wrong. Had to skip dessert because their stench was incredibly over powering.

167. What a nice place while on vacation. Great scene from window a bonus.

168. U can always count on this place

169. I’m a mashed potathoe for their mashed potatoes

170. We ate way too much, so good, delicious cocktails

171. Had not visited in some time. Love eating with the view of the water.
     Great service, fantastic appetizer, main course, dessert and wine.
     All made for an enjoyable dining experience!

172. Absolutely the best prime rib

173. 10/29/2022 @7:00pm
     My husband and I came to Spokane to stay at the Davenport for our one year anniversary. Our plans for another restaurant fell through. So we looked up “restaurants” near us, and we agreed on Clinkerdagger.
     I’ll admit I was skeptical at first cause I know we didn’t have reservations and I hate sitting in bars (my husband loves it). Well it was buzzing and we ended up in the bar… ugh
     But the atmosphere was “modern black sails” vibe… super cool
     Our waitress, Lori, went above and beyond cause it was quite the wait for food. She even offered me free soup which was super nice but I declined. She made sure food was consistently coming such as bread, soup, appetizers and then finally our meals. She’s a keeper! She was swamped and did the best she could.
     The bartenders were on top their game! And made me a drink he hasn’t heard of so bravo!
     Employees were great! Only complaint is bread is pretty salty and restaurant needs to be bigger!

174. Clinkerdagger is a cool, cozy restaurant; however, we left disappointed with our waiter and the food. The waiter was friendly at our table, but he left quickly every time like he was rushed – my husband had to ask 4 times for his soda. The spicy margarita tasted like a virgin drink, so I tried again with the diamond margarita. It was better. I ordered the halibut with shrimp scampi, and my husband ordered the 9 oz filet. My plate arrived without the scampi, and my husband’s filet had gristle in it. They did bring the scampi out later.
     The waiter let us know that the manager (I think) wanted to comp our dessert, and that was very nice. We appreciated his kind gesture very much.

175. The food was good. The ambiance is interesting. Didn’t get a view table so hard to think of anything that makes this place particularly special. Service was ok.

176. The restaurant has a wonderful view of the falls in Spokane. Our scallops were prepared to perfections and so tasty. The pea salad was a treat. Dessert Creme Brulee was excellent. Our waiter Rob, was on top of everything, service great and he took the time to explain the menu and his personality was great. Hope to visit again.

177. Food was great!

178. Great menu selection…the steaks were cooked as ordered

179. The atmosphere of the place was great but my and my work buddies food left some to be desired. The fish and shrimp were overcooked and the veggies undercooked. I expected more for the price.

180. Outstanding food, service and crafted cocktails. The atmosphere is incredible. View and lighting very romantic.

181. They have a great variety. Also if everything was fresh.

182. Great food and great hosts

183. Phenomenal meal Amazing staff it was a magical time

184. This is strange to even say but their cocktail sauce is incredible. I typically don’t even use cocktail sauce for oysters… Good wine selection and excellent service. The prime rib was delicious. It makes sense that it’s they’re specialty. Location is so cool. The view outside is beautiful even on a cloudy day.

185. The quality of food I got was at bar level way too expensive the service really sucked lipstick on my glass my silverware was dirty

186. Good food good service clean

187. Our 1st time eating there. Food was amazing. Service was top notch. Felt like we the only 2 people there. Family friendly too. ( If they have manner’s! LOL)

188. It was great we love this place amazing prime rib great dessert

189. My dinner was so disgusting! Nothing was fresh. Never again will I return.

190. Amazing service , food was phenomenal. Every aspect of the dinner was perfect for the Birthday dinner. Never disappoint!!!

191. I’m from out of state and I’ve eaten there twice. I’m going back for Thanksgiving dinner.

192. So amazing. Such a romantic place especially during cold winter nights. Great everything..

193. We have been going to Clingerdaggers since we were in high school
     Grew up together since we were 10 and 13
     Married for 18 yrs now
     Celebrated Bday
     We always get prime rib and lobster
     Good wine selection
     Service aw we awesome

194. Wonderful food & the atmosphere is romantic! Great service and pricing is justifiable!

195. Food was great!

196. Came in with a party of four to celebrate a special event. Atmosphere was excellent with beautiful decor highlighting the season. Pros: atmosphere, decor and location. Cons: booth was very uncomfortable, seats were too low and too far away from the table – would definitely ask for chairs next time, table was leaning to the right so much so that our drinks ‘literally’ slid sideways. Ordered: Louis salad – massive amount of iceberg lettuce, came with two eggs, some crab, salmon, artichoke, asparagus, etc – for the cost, I would not get this again. Seafood trio was very good, salmon meal included excellent salmon and sauce but potatoes were undercooked. Moscow Mules were average. Overall a bit disappointed but would likely try the restaurant again.

197. We had a wonderful time. My best friend and I were dealing with some really hard emotional events and our waitress was so kind and patient. She never knew if we were laughing or crying when she checked on us. Thank you

198. Fav restaurant in spokane! Best prime rib and amazing crème Brule.

199. Always amazing experience

200. Staple in Spokane for sure! 4 people for dinner. 6 drinks… no appetizers. With a very well deserved tip 400$. Just FYI.

201. First time coming to Clinkerdagger and it did not disappoint! I ordered the oven-roasted chicken dijon, it was really good! The chicken was juicy and crispy. I also ordered a #vacation, delicious drink I loved it. I definitely recommend this place.

202. Great place to dine!

203. Great food, staff was helpful and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Great spot

204. We dined here for the first time. Staff was very pleasant and was accurate regarding wait time for a table. We did have an unfortunate accident where food was spilled on us. The staff went above and beyond to make up for their mistake. We appreciated the excellent service. The great food we got just seemed a bonus after the special treatment. Not only will we be back, we highly recommend.

205. Reservations at 6PM party of 8 (6 adults 2 small kids)…. we were on time. Ordered appetizers and meals shortly after being seated. Wednesday, not too busy with patrons. Appetizers took awhile, meals arrived at the table 7:50 PM. Yes, it took that long to get our orders served. Food was ok….. Not in a hurry to go back.

206. Loved the drinks, appetizers, and atmosphere! Good prices, too

207. Went for an anniversary lunch. No parking lot, really. It looked like there was one close by, but it was full. Parked at the park, paid, and walked. It was about 10 degrees out, but we didn’t mind since it was a quick walk. Food was good, but not amazing. For those prices, I expected much better. My husband ordered a steak. It was small for $32. He thinks that if we are going to a fancy place and he gets a steak, it should cut with a buttter knife. He said it was tough. My shrimp scampi came with 6 shrimp stuck in mashed potatoes. The apps were probably the best….crab and artichoke dip and calamari. Probably would try another place before coming back. Service was fantastic, even though they were busy.

208. Busy place during holidays despite the sloppy weather. Erin our waitress was fantastic but I had to wait quite a while for my main meal. Food was delicious and artistically displayed on the plate. Portion size was perfect so there was room for dessert! Gluten free options were available as were substitutions.
     Beautiful views of the Falls and cozy atmosphere.

209. We will definitely return. My husband had prime rib and I had seafood trio. We both tried the nonalcoholic drinks “shrub” and “ginger.” Great place, great service, great food.

210. Amazing ambiance and great food

211. So disappointed. Daughter had pasta with white sauce, looked like it was under a heat lamp for 20 min. My salmon was okay but fish cakes with dish were so dry i did not eat them and veggies were overcooked. At this price point food should be good to excellent. Service was good and young lady very pleasant. Never gonna eat here again, did not realize it was a corporate place which is why it tasted like food service type food. Applebees would have been better for a third the price

212. Had an absolutely wonderful experience at this restaurant! we ordered some really great food, had wonderful drinks! Over all a fantastic environment. One of our items wasn’t cooked to our liking and they did everything to make sure that we were comfortable and had our entree in time. Thank you!

213. Drinks, food, Service, all five star. Bench was uncomfortable, well get a table with chairs next time, but worth it. Take your time and enjoy. Timing between plates was perfect.

214. A bit underwhelming.

215. Clinker, Clinker, Clinker.! You need to go and experience this place. The building it is housed in is historical and magnificent! It had other businesses there in site as well. But pictures just won’t do. You need to go at least once and live a little.

216. Stunning view, amazing ambiance and good food and costumer service. Perfect spot.

217. Best food I’ve ever had

218. Nothing special
