This was a great find. We stumbled upon Scratch one evening and were pleasantly surprised. The menu is great and prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is great as is the service. Specials on bottles of wine when we were there that were very reasonable.

We were staying Spokane but needed to walk the boardwalk so we drove the 35 min. After an always lovely walk around the town we hunted for a lunch spot. We spied Scratch and remembered how good lunch was last fall so we had to do it again. We remembered how good the panninis were the last time so we... More

We had some of their flatbread appetizers which were nice, but nothing amazing. The restaurant itself is nice and classy with white linens and local art on the walls. I would go again for a full dinner at some point.

We discovered this restaurant when we were looking for lunch. The food is wonderful! My husband had sweet potato fries and they were great! We have taken friends for lunch since we went the first time and the food was wonderful then as well.

We got a recommendation for Scratch from a regular Coeur d'Alene visitor on the airplane while en route to a business meeting. We ended up eating there twice in three days, once with two people, once with six, and had only good experiences, with a variety of dishes (a fish special, a rack of lamb, crab-stuffed avacado, and a chowder,...

We were looking for a place for lunch on a Saturday and were referred to this place. Were told it was all made from scratch. We walked down from our room at the Flamingo and concerned because we were the only ones there at noon. I had the Club and my wife had the soup salad and sandwich. We were... More

First things first. The seafood chowder is a life changing experience. Whatever else you eat, start with the chowder. It's terrific. Our salads were great (all fresh fixings and a great light dressing). Entrees were generous (I ordered the lamb shanks and could only eat about half) and very flavorful. The wait staff was a lot of un to boot.... More

A late night dinner on a patio in Coeur d'Alene was a great idea! We just picked the wrong restaurant. For us, the menu was a bit odd (rabbit is not my thing). We ended up ordering the Thai Chicken Pizza and the Ahi entree. The pizza crust was awful. It was very much like bisquick and was crumbly and... More

The atmosphere is great, as is the location. The food, when it's on is fantastic. They used to make one of the best calamari sides I have ever tasted. It comes with three dips, even though the calamari is pre-breaded. My issue was that the last three times I was there, it was greasy and one time it was the... More

The food was good, but we felt it was a little overpriced. It was very cold in the building, and I don't think i took my coat off to even eat dinner, which kinda ruined it for me. I will probably try it again, but hopefuly they will have turned the heat up a bit more.
