Hay J's Bistro - Liberty Lake

I love Hay J's!! The ambiance is exquisite. The service is attentive and engaging. I also don't think there's a better location in the greater spokane area for a such a vast variety of entrees. If I had to make one change or critique anything about this professional establishment it would be to have coors light on tap!! I mean what are we even doing here?? #dobetter! But other then that it's a 5 out of 5 for me!!

We had a great time here! I came with my husband for a late lunch. The waitress was very sweet and great. She was quick, and always checked on us. Water was never empty! I am pregnant and have been craving a deli meat sandwich (of course I have not had one because of the risks for listeria) but I was happy to find out that they had an Italian grinder and for all your prego ladies ITS COOKED and heated through! Needless to say, that is what I ordered. It was delicious and will definitely be back for this specific sandwich. My husband got the chicken marsala risotto and it was also delicious. It tasted just as wonderful the next day when we reheated the leftovers. Overall, great environment, staff, and quality of food. It is a little pricy but I think it was worth it for the good experience.

Excellent food and service! Cozy atmosphere Great wine. I brought my visiting friends here from San Diego, they told me it was the best Ribeye steak they had ever had. Go figure ... Needless to say our dining experience was a hit!

We have enjoyed HayJay's for many years. It's such a surprise to have good meals at a service station strip mall, but there it is. Sometimes it's a little loud for me. It depends where we are seated. Cocktails are excellent; and the menu is well-varied. The food is usually very good, but I've had two poor meals there in a row. My husband's were fine. What does that say, I wonder. Owell, I hope it's better next time.

Fancy dining at a gas station, you say? Yup! And you won't be disappointed! I've been to Hay J's before years ago with my manager and my lead. This time I took a couple of my engineers who are also working in the area. They thought I was joking, clearly the joke was on them! We walked in (early) without reservations, and I think we were lucky to get in. Soon after the restaurant was super busy. So I would recommend making reservations, otherwise you can dine solo in the small bar area. The menu is small, but the dishes they serve are well thought out! Both times I've come through I've had nothing but great food! Recently we ordered the Ahi Poke as an appetizer. I also ordered the soup du jour (I was hungry), which was a white bean soup with pancetta and kale, and absoultely delicious! I'm pretty sure I could have that as my entree, if I requested, it was that good! For my entree, I had the Parmesan crusted Halibut, it was on a bed of basmati rice and topped with a lemon-thyme butter creme. I cleaned that plate! Service was great! I was glad they weren't hovering around and we never felt rushed (we actually stayed there for 3 hours)! If I'm in the Spokane Valley, I'll likely pay a visit here every time!
