Satay Bistro

One of Coeur d’Alene’s best fine dining experiences is located, improbably, between Taco Bell and the Long Ear music store. Satay offers a wide selection of wines, an upscale fusion menu and plenty of elegance. You can enjoy trademark satays (meaning skewered, grilled meat) like filet beef with Shiitake mushroom demi-glace or some Red Chili Scallops. They also serve a range of salads, pasta dishes, and steaks. Owner Rob Elder assures the menu is always evolving. (July 2013)
