Browne’s Tavern a perfect summer lunch treat

Dan Webster

Sometime in January, when I expect temperatures to drop into the teens or below and Spokane streets to be covered in snow or ice, I'm going to think back to Saturday afternoon, when my wife, my brother and I had lunch at Browne's Tavern.

Located in Browne's Addition, across the street from The Elk Public House, Browne's Tavern offers a full range of eats and drinks that fit a summer menu, in particular, quite well. The three of us opted for salads with shaved prime rib, and they ended up being just what we wanted (even if we weren't expecting the grilled green peppers, which were a nice touch).

The sun was out, we sat in the courtyard under the shade of an umbrella, and enjoyed the day, the salads, the service and the sun.

Especially the sun. Maybe the memory will help keep me warm as we enter the new year. One can always hope.
