“ Loved the food and the atmosphere! It was great to finally get to eat here after a couple years of driving by it. There are several vegetarian and at least one vegan option. The dill cream dressing on the garden salad was amazing! They serve artisan bread with every meal butter is great. Fresh made gnocchi was great as well. Loved the butternut squash tortellini. The lemoncello cheesecake was great except the gram cracker crust could have been better. ”

“ We came for the inlander restaurant week with friends. We had such a great time. Staff were great, the atmosphere was outstanding. We will be back! Make sure you have a reservation it does get busy. ”

“ What a beautiful and yummy place! We ordered the shrimp cocktail, chicken special that they had, and the pork chop. Then creme brulee, and it was all devine! Gorgeous views too! ”

“ Awesome place right on the lake! If you are in Coeur d'Alene and have the opportunity to make your way to the lake I highly recommend this restaurant. Go for the seafood salad. ”

“ We had an amazing dining experience at Tony’s on the Lake! Our server, Taylor, provided outstanding service—her recommendations were spot on, and everything was superb. From the perfectly paired wines to the delicious, generously portioned pasta, every bite was a delight. The ambiance was simply breathtaking—a beautiful lakeside setting, a cozy roaring fire, and an elegant yet welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for a special dinner experience, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! ”

“ We were celebration our anniversary and they were excellent. My husband loved the half chicken. I loved the chicken without cheese. We were full, so they sent us home with a small piece of carrot cake. ”

“ Food price / quality (value) rating 9.5. The atmosphere is contemporary Italian. This restaurant is 50 feet from Lake Couer d'Alene, and has wonderful expansive views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Although the restaurant has been at this location for eighty years, it has undergone changes in ownership a few times, and was recently totally remodeled / rebuilt to reflect the higher standards of modern high end Italian dining. The menu is succinct, but includes the most classic and loved Italian dishes that you'd expect. Our server,Thomas, was experienced and attentive. A fresh sourdough bread was served before dinner. I had the Halibut, which was prepared properly, and presented beautifully. It included a flavorful parmesan risotto, and seasonal vegetables. Excellent! The wife had the Vegetable Risotto, and ate every bit of it. They offer a limited, but well chosen, draught beer selection, including some local microbrews. We both ordered dessert (highly unusual for my wife) because they were house made. She had the Cherry Creme Brulee (very unique), and I had the Tiramisu, which is typically very generic, but theirs is made individually in separate goblets, and the ladyfingers are not totally whipped, adding texture to the dessert. The place was packed by 6 pm on a Wednesday, a very good sign, and more than one local resident highly recommended it to us. The prices were very reasonable for the quality. We felt a little bit rushed at the end of our meal, but, being a seasonal restaurant, I understand that turning over tables is important . Coeur d'Alene is a wonderful tourist town, undergoing a continuing dramatic renaissance including many new modern buildings and businesses. It has a very walkable downtown with many attractions such as art galleries, restaurants, and street fairs. There are also many lake related activities, and you'll want to spend more than one day here. ”

“ Went for the first time. Place was clean and very busy. Make reservations if you go. Food was really good. It's worth trying this place. Great view of the lake and sunset. My plate was the gnocchi and its was a perfect amount and delicious . Cons- very loud. Hard to hear conversations within your own table and tables are super close together. ”
