Steam Plant Restauraunt

The Stacks pub at the Steam Plant in Spokane is a very cool refurbished establishment. restaurant
The outside was left the way it was, sans grime and soot.
The interior was awesomely done up. Could be used for a movie shoot.



Myself and my wife started with the Caprese salad (Heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and presented on a bed of arugula. Garnished with a basil chiffonade).

I had for a main the butternut gnoccii (Oven-roasted tomatoes, crimini mushrooms and squash sautéed with garlic, basil and shallots. Finished in a butternut squash sauce and presented with gnocchi. Garnished with a basil pesto and complemented with a slice of grilled garlic bread) with a vanilla bourbon double stack stout.

I preferred my wife's smoked salmon pasta (Wild Alaskan salmon brined in Highland Scottish Ale, smoked over alder wood then sautéed with crimini mushrooms and roasted red and yellow peppers. Finished in a light garlic white wine cream sauce, served over pappardelle noodles and garnished with feta crumbles, tomatoes and green onions. Complemented with a slice of grilled garlic bread) but my meal was average. The beer and salad were great. I'd eat here again.
