We recently had a wedding rehearsal dinner for 60 people at 315 Martinis and Tapas and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Being from out of town, we were nervous about finding just the right place to throw a party in Coeur d'Alene. So when we came upon the Greenbriar and stopped by to try out the menu, we were psyched.
Kris, the catering director, was so laid back, I was worried they might not be thorough, but boy was I wrong. We chose six tapas to be served: the bruschetta, crab cakes, edamame, coconut lime shrimp, the Mediterranean plate, and the artichoke dip. All were delicious. Our crowd was super hungry, though, so we ordered the meatballs and loved those too! While the entire drink menu was available the whole evening for our guests, we chose three martinis to be featured, and they were a huge hit. The Chili Lemon Drop (using jalapenos in the classic lemon drop with limoncello, the Wildbeary (a huckleberry martini with vodka), and the Ravishing Ruby, with grapefruit, triple sec, cranberry and vodka. We were very impressed with the staff, who kept up with all our needs throughout the evening. All of our guests had a really terrific time. The only negative: we probably should have ordered more tapas from the outset. It was hard to know how hungry our guests were going to be. But the restaurant came through with extra tapas in a timely manner once we ordered more.
We also booked all five rooms at the inn for at least two nights -- most rooms we booked for more than two nights. The prices were fantastic, and everyone who stayed there loved it. The Greenbriar is an old-fashioned B&B with a first rate bar/restaurant within walking distance to town. What a great combination. read more
