Indulge In Handmade Pasta At Gander And Ryegrass, A New Washington Restaurant
Spokane is Washington’s second-largest city, but due to its small-town feel, it’s easy to forget that. The Lilac City’s dining scene has certainly come a long way in recent years, with restaurant options that feel decidedly more urban. If you were a fan of Santé and its sophisticated space, you’ll be happy to know there’s a new concept there. Gander and Ryegrass is officially open, and it’s a fantastic place to dine.

The space is the former home of Sante (and most recently Smoke & Mirrors Saloon, which had the same owner).

The former owner, Jeremy Hansen, called Peter to tell him he was leaving town and asked him if he'd like to take over the restaurant. Peter's answer was, of course, a resounding yes.

The 'gander' part of the name refers to the visual appeal of the food, while ryegrass is a nod to the approachable dishes he wants to create.

Chef Peter spent a lot of time in Florence, where he fell in love with fresh pasta. And the handmade pasta will certainly be a prominent menu item.

You can expect to see plenty of meat and seafood here, with a rotating selection of delicious and creative specials.

Needless to say, no matter what you choose to order, you can't go wrong.
