My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time. When I first walked in I waited at the bar to get a drink. The bartender didn't awknowledge me or offer me a menu for quite some time and there were only 2 other people at the bar. The wine I ordered tasted like it had been opened two... more

Had made a reservation for dinner & were shown to a great table, in a partitioned-off area in a corner overlooking the lake. There was going to be a large group next to us, so the hostess wanted to give us a table with a view & some privacy! Excellent mojitos! Liked the Drunken Crab appetizer and the salmon. Pleasant... more

We had good food and service was great. Lot's of pub restaurants in the area which are good but needed a change. I do not eat sushi but it looked like a very nice sushi bar more

I used to think it was a good place to eat, and disagreed with this article until my most recent visit. My husband ordered a Patron Silver Magarita and the waitress brought him a platinum then charging us $75.00 for the drink. Even after we asked them about it they refused to change the charge and I was embarassed as... more

We were looking for a place to eat lunch in CDA returning to Seattle from Montana and settled on the Bonsai Bistro, a pan-Asian place in downtown, as it had plentiful parking. We were very glad we chose this place! We ordered Malaysian vegetable tofu stir fry and the carmelized garlic noodles. Both dishes were very good. I especially liked... more

My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Bonsai Bistro near Lake Coeur d'Alene, across the street from the Coeur d'Alene resort. The restaurant is very nice. I liked the water features with the turtles and fish. The turtles came up to us to beg for snacks! The menu is extensive and the service is good. The location... more

This place looks really nice on the outside, and has a wonderful location right in downtown CDA. It also has a neat Coy pond that is integrated into the restaurant floor. Besides these things there is not much to rave about. Like someone said before, very small portions with large prices. The food is ok and seems to be lean... more

Food was alright, nothing spectacular, but good. I requested no garlic because of an allergy, but a few pieces of my food where loaded with garlic! We felt like 'where's the rest of our food?' when we were finished. The servings are pretty small, but the prices aren't. We were by a large table of people, who were so drunk... more
