From the very first bite through to the final sip, our lunch at Café Carambola was nothing short of…read moreexceptional. This little gem tucked in downtown Coeur d'Alene delights on so many levels. The menu sings with creativity and fresh ingredients -- dishes that feel both familiar and excitingly new. The salads are vibrant and full of flavor, the sandwiches genuine, and the soups comforting yet elevated. Every item tasted thoughtfully composed and lovingly prepared. The latin-fusion theme works beautifully here: big flavors, fresh produce, and a sense that each bite is crafted with care. What really elevated the experience was the service. The owners and staff are so welcoming, friendly, and attentive that you feel like a valued guest, not just a customer--maybe we are valued seeing that we have been going for almost 17 years! The cafe has a warm, genuine vibe -- modest in size but rich in character. The setting is casual but polished, making it ideal for a relaxed lunch that still feels special. We appreciated the personal touches: the owner checking in, offering suggestions, making us feel comfortable and engaged. * Every dish came with freshness and bold flavor -- no filler, no compromise. * The service made the visit memorable. * The fusion concept works and doesn't feel gimmicky -- it feels right. * It's clearly a place that cares: about food, about guests, and about craft. If you're looking for a lunch spot in Coeur d'Alene that's just a little bit different -- full of flavor, personality, and warmth -- Café Carambola is a must. I especially appreciate the off menu items the owner makes me at every stop because I don't eat me. For my fellow non meat eaters, I suggest the La Potena no meat, extra jalapeños, and a side of their off menu habanero sauce!

Tally was the most understanding and action oriented I have ever encountered at a restaurant and I've navigated my allergies with 100s. She checked with the chef and we had a plan for a delicious sea bass meal. I was coming from out of town to celebrate my best friend's 80th birthday and already Tally was all over this monumental day to make memories. She was so positive with a can do attitude. Reservations were easy We arrived and again Tally greeted us like we were here good friends. The setting is fabulous as is the decor and vibe. She set us up with an incredible server, Mark who was soooo personable and gave us just the right amount of attention. My sea bass entree and my friend's asada tacos were truly out of this world delicious. And then the complimentary birthday cheesecake was absolutely the cherry on top. I will drive 3 hours back to Terraza for special dining. Parking is complimentary and so easy. The team approach between staff--Tally, Mark, chef, and kitchen resulted in my new favorite restaurant with quality and a feeling of great appreciation and gratitude on their and my life. You have the best people in the right place and an incredible attention to taste and quality menu. I can't wait to come back and try additional menu items . . .but will be hard to not get the best sea bass!!!

There was a problem though. We found a very long hair as we were eating the sixth enchilada. It made us uncomfortable about the ones we ate previously. I called the Store Supervisor and informed him of our find, and suggested his kitchen help all (male and female) wear hair coverings or hair nets. He expresses his apologies for what we encountered and promised to remedy the problem with their kitchen help. If it were not for that hair, and only about the food, they would receive a 5-Star rating.

We waited patiently for about 30 minutes for a server to come, but no luck. Finally after an hour someone came to check on us and we ordered another set of appetizers (as we were told the kitchen was backed up). Just when we though the wait was over (around 7:45) the meals they brought us were for another table; our meal didn't arrive until after 8:30 (2 hours after our reservation and about 1.5 hours after ordering). The food was luke warm and mediocre at best. If they didn't comp our appetizers (a nice touch given the disaster of events); this would have received 1 star.
