For dinner there's such comfort food as turkey with mashed potatoes, meat loaf, and chicken-fried steak. Everything is made from scratch. The North Spokane branch (10929 N.

In a former wood mill, this fine-dining restaurant has gained a reputation for quality and excellence, thanks to chef-owner Jamie Guerin. Local is the watchword here, where hamburgers are made with grass-fed beef from Blue Valley Meats, and more than a dozen nearby purveyors supply produce, cheese, meat, eggs, and coffee. Try the Painted Hills beef tenderloin steak, roasted sockeye salmon, fishermen's stew, or lasagne made with lamb meatballs, and save room for the house-made ice cream or the rich twice-baked chocolate cake for dessert. The extensive wine list features many Walla Walla Valley winemakers.
