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

BEWARE PARTIES OVER 6! I visited with a party of 23 for a birthday, and when requesting a split check before ordering, the server replied with “no, it will all be on one”. Upon arrival of the check, we were informed that only 3 combined methods of payment would be accepted for the total bill. The server suggested that we... more
