Rock City Grill, Spokane, WA P114
 
There's a lot to like about the Rock City Grill and, unfortunately, quite a bit not to like as well...like the white gloppy stuff that passes for a Caesar salad dressing.  Give me a break!  They only charge $5.95 for an excellent plate of Romaine lettuce with good croutons and (your choice) with or without anchovies.  But the white gloppy stuff just has to go...

As does the "Focaccia bread", just some heated up pizza dough with a little garlic does not constitute Focaccia bread.  You're supposed to sop up olive oil and some hand grated parmesan with this ersatz "Focaccia bread", but it just doesn't seem right...it isn't bread; it's pizza dough!

On the positive side, the "first class Focaccia Suprema" with broiled elephant garlic and feta cheese is quite a bit better...still the same pizza dough and it costs $5.95, but it is excellent. 

Pizzas are excellent, tending to the thin, wood-fired Neapolitan style. 

All in all, a pretty enjoyable place, but hardly "Spokane's #1 restaurant" as the window sign proclaims upon entry.  If it is #1, the folks in Spokane are in a heap of trouble. 

Food: B. Service: B. Attitude: A. Parking: can be a bit of a problem. Ambiance: A-. Value: A-.
