The atmosphere inside is cool and clean, their deck in the the summer is very pleasant. Reasonable prices for how special all the ingredients are - the literally import their flour from Italy!

I was given a quick run down on how they did things. With a smile. Dining area as expected for a sub shop. Tables, soda machine. Etc. Several people dining, and all digging in. Simple, very good, well made sub. Like it should be. Will be back.

They give you so little meat it's embarrassing. Their bread tastes pretty good, that's the only…read moregood thing I can say about the place. My family and I have eaten here three times, to give it a chance, thinking maybe they just had a lame employee who doesn't know how to make sandwiches. Nope. Barely any meat all three times on all of our subs. LAME!

Their concept -- fast, drive-through salads and bowls -- fits perfectly with the type of take out I'm looking for. Had the corny cob, no picture to prove it. We ordered a salad (about $15) and easily split it between my husband and me. The flavors were balanced, the toppings were fresh, and the ingredients were noticeably higher quality than typical grab-and-go options. What really stood out was the speed. I pulled up, ordered, and was driving away within three minutes. Quiet, efficient service + real food made well = a spot I'll definitely return to. Perfect when you want something quick that still feels good to eat.

Stopped by on Memorial day for lunch as I had heard that this was healthy fast/casual fair. We had…read morethe greek steak bowl and the siracha honey chicken with pineapple, and the lemonaid /strawberry. It was overall pretty good. It did feel healthy and fresh, but I kinda wished the whole thing was just better. The steak bowl had good flavor but the steak was in big chunks so you had to tear it appart with your fingers as you just had plastic fork for eating. Overall, the steak was good but chewy. The chicken in the bowl was cooked well and had good char, it was mixed in a bit of glaze and rice/slaw/ pineapple. Overall tasty, just kind of needs a bit more components or maybe more seasoned rice. Maybe my expectations were too high. Anyhow, was just ok for me. But, is a nice and appreciate the healthy option. The strawberry lemonaid also a pass. No real flavor and they charge extra but no strawberries in there. Again left me very meh.....

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!

We went on the offer that's on tv and in the paper all the time. What a deal! A nice clean…read morecomfortable room w/ good beds, a free drink, and 2 breakfast coupons. The coupons said you could only order from a choice of 2, but our server said to get whatever we want off the menu! We both had omelets that were excellent. The toast appeared and tasted like it was from a bakery that morning and the coffee was very good. She even filled our travel mugs before we left. Dinner the night before was kind of a bummer in that their prime rib special was already gone at 6pm when we went in. I heard it is excellent. We will be back there and go in earlier to try it out. All around, the Kootenia Hotel and casino is a great get away.

We started with the spinach artichoke dip and I had to stop myself and grab a pic and hold off since I knew more food was imminent. Scrumptious dip served with thick pitas. Next top choice was the hand-battered fish & chips. 4 large pieces which came with beautiful fries and coleslaw. It's a must try! I had the Little London and added the side salad which was the perfect size for me. Very tasty beef with melted Gorgonzola. Gravy and mashed potatoes, average but served hot. Veggies were sautéed yellow squash & zucchini which were tasty. The rest of my party ordered French Onion Soup, Chicken Alfredo, Little Chicken Tenders & Fries, Sirloin steak with loaded baked potato. All satisfied my hungry men. Shared a vanilla sundae with luscious huckleberry sauce. Mmm It was a pleasant dinner and we hope to come back for breakfast soon. Considering the local options, I believe this was the best choice for our special occasion dinner. We'll be returning.
