  The atmosphere was great, but the overall experience fell short. The prime rib lacked flavor, and both the food and service were very slow. If you sit outside, be careful: bees were extremely bad near the area where staff cleared plates, and the staff didn't offer any help or engage with guests being swarmed. Given the high prices, it was very disappointing. Picture shows were not to sit.

  Raced here for a 7:15 reservation. After playing there parking game for 46 minutes, we were still early. Pushed back to 8pm. Not impressed at all. Couldn’t find anything on the menu that looked good, and I haven’t ate all day. Crazy how these hype trains get out of control. Can’t even see the river from here. Nice summer evening and we’re in some dark dingy den. lolz

  ​We booked an outdoor table specifically for the view, and on that front, Clinker Dagger delivered. It was easily one of the best scenic dining setups we have experienced. Unfortunately, the rest of the visit failed to match the surroundings. ​The food overall underdelivered. When the prime rib arrived, it was obvious at first glance that it was served cold. On the positive side, the clam chowder and the burger were both flavorful and well prepared. ​The biggest issue was that our table was swarmed by wasps throughout the meal, which made the experience stressful and unpleasant for our kids. It would have been helpful if the staff had informed us beforehand if wasp activity is a known issue for outdoor seating during this time of year. In hindsight, sitting outside was a mistake, and we would have been far better off dining indoors. ​Great atmosphere and beautiful scenery, but cold prime rib and persistent pests made it hard to enjoy the meal.

  As someone that has worked in the restaurant/bar scene for 20 years i have never had an interaction with a server/bartender that made me so irritated to where i wanted to leave my first negative review. I give three stars because the host server and manager were very accommodating and service was awesome and the food was amazing like the last 3 times i have gone. My favorite pork chop i have had in spokane. But when I walk up to the bar with my 3 friends for cocktails as were waiting for our table to be ready the bartender looks at us and says sorry i have alot of drink tickets for the servers i tell him no worries man we all are bartenders take your time. He looks at us and says oh were not some bar that just makes rum and cokes we actually make craft cocktails here. Then proceeds to look at the person in our party that has her expired ID and the new paper id that verifies it is renewed we are all bartenders we know the laws and procedures he then refuses us service. We almost walked out on our reservation because of this negative attitude you work in fine dining dont assume ANYTHING about your guests. Thank you to Caleb for making our dining experience enjoyable! Caleb gets 5 stars boo on your bartender first rant in 20 years done . My dinner was at 7pm im sitting at home at 3 am still thinking about it.

  Our visit to Clinkerdagger’s for my little girl’s fifth birthday was nothing short of magical. This daddy-daughter date was made truly special by the amazing staff, who treated us like royalty from the moment we walked in. Their warmth and attentiveness created an inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The food was outstanding! Each dish was not only delicious but beautifully presented, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to quality. My daughter was thrilled with her meal, and it was clear that the kitchen takes pride in crafting every plate to perfection. What truly made the day special was how everyone celebrated my daughter. The staff went above and beyond, even surprising us with a little dessert featuring a candle to brighten her day. The ambiance was perfect for our outing—comfortable yet elegant, making it a wonderful setting for both special occasions and casual dining. I can’t recommend Clinkerdagger’s highly enough! If you’re looking for a place that combines excellent food with exceptional service, this is it. We can’t wait to return for more unforgettable moments!
