brought it to the South Hill. The restaurant features all of the favorites Erdem’s fans adore: light, delicate Turkish Cigars, tender, spiced Souvlaki and tons of garlic. The West Wing is affordable for a casual Gryo lunch or decadent enough for a night out on the town, with the flavorful Curried Chicken Ravioli or popular Turkish Plate, with spicy grilled lamb and tzatziki. Don’t forget the breath mints and expect to wait for a table on weekends. Open daily 11 am – 10 pm.

Fiesta Mexicana. One of many such places to pronounce themselves “authentic”
, Fiesta Mexican
actually deserves the moniker, the owners having studied the recipes and menus of other restaurateurs in their family for several years prior to opening.

Post Street Ale House. This floor to rafter renovation of the former Fugazzi space in the Hotel Lusso by Walt and Karen Worthy of the Davenport gives downtown Spokane a great English-style pub with a striking bar, twenty beers on tap, and a reasonably priced menu built around comfort food. We feel they do some of their fried food particularly well: the Halibut and Chips, the Fried Mozzarella “cubes,” and the Ale House Fried Pickles.

SEAFOOD AND FISH Milford’s
Fish House. Milford’s has been
doing seafood since before seafood was cool, specializing in the importation and preparation of a wide variety of fresh fish.

Although there are now more choices in the area for fresh and intriguing seafood, Milford’s remains one of the best. A great meal can also be had from the bar menu in their comfortable, inviting and well-stocked bar. The dark, rich ambience of the beautiful old building around the corner from the courthouse in which Milford’s is situated can’t be beat, either. Sun-Mon 4-9, Tues-Sat 5-10. 719 N Monroe.
