With a focus on seasonal ingredients and locally-sourced fare, it delivers a fine-dining experience without feeling stuffy—perfect for a night out before or after a concert.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short stroll from downtown Spokane’s major music venues, Wild Sage is an ideal stop before a show. The service is known to be efficient and attentive, making it easy to enjoy a full meal without stressing about curtain time.
