This pub-restaurant fusion offers a casual bar-like experience, and also has great appetizers. Their chicken quesadilla, hummus plate and chips and salsa are to die for, and are relatively inexpensive. Also, if you want to have a more intimate setting, move to the outdoor seating, with a breath-taking ambiance set by the gorgeous hanging string lights. Zola offers a more romantic and personal ambiance, and even has live music almost every day of the week. For a third or fourth date, this place is perfect, and allows for great conversation, and also a fun time.
Their rosemary tavern fries and mojito lime shrimp tacos are killer, so make sure to order those before you leave. If you want a good, cold beer and love watching sports, this is the place for you. On a casual first date, this is a great spot to meet up, and get to know each other over some brews and baseball. Plus, their pizza is bomb, especially their Thai chicken pizza, called The Elvis.
This is not just another pizza place-- their authentic Italian pizza is to die for. However, service can be slow, so definitely go to Veraci only if you want to go on a longer dinner date. All the pizzas are baked in a bakerstone pizza oven, and come out with cheese sizzling hot. If you want a more beautiful view, step out onto the patio seating, where you overlook the river, and can watch the sunset too. Right next to Veraci, is Nectar, a wine bar offering a trendy upscale tasting experience.
Between the low lighting, wonderful service, cheese boards, hummus plates and artichoke dips, you and your date will be bound to go home happy. There are three Twigs locations in the Spokane area, however, the one in the River Park Square mall is my favorite. Sitting on the terrace overlooking the city with sparkly lights above you gives a magical feel to the dining experience. All of the mixed drinks here are good, but the food is even better. Who could pass that up?
Their garlic bread, and seafood is cooked simply, but melts in your mouth. The service is great, ramen is delicious, and energy is very fun and inviting.
