Best WLM Reviews

After months of waiting, Candle in the Woods exceeded expectations. The food was unexpected and delicious. The host was hilarious and personable. It was a wonderfully run family business. I would recommend anyone traveling to North Idaho experience this fantastic restaurant.
We had the greatest time here and the ultimate experience with David. Highly recommend as a bucket list item. Good friends and the best drink and food pairings we have ever had.
One of a kind experience you'll most likely never forget.
Chef Dave is a master story teller, who delights you with snippets of events of a very colorful past, which all culminates in the passion of food which he presents in each course before you. The night is an experience, with food, wine and laughter, leave your preconceptions in the parking lot to get the full experience, it is lively and each person on Dave's team are characters, all very unique and diverse, what a great team they share.
In between courses there is intermissions in which to interact with other guests by the fire or play a game of shuffleboard or foosball upstairs, to linger and lounge is light and surely adds an element of connection to the evening.
The food, each course is presented exquisitely and the attention to detail is precise, all done so fluidly you barely notice the placemats change three times during your dining experience????
All I can say that doesn't speak for itself, is you must try this, you won't be anything but delited completely. The pictures are of most of the 13 courses we experienced tonight, all simply yummy, all paired with wines from every region of the world, if your fortunate enough to dine with Dave and his team, it will be a lucky nite indeed...enjoy ????
This experience was the best! The entire staff made the experience unlike anything I have experienced before and my husband and I have traveled the world as self-proclaimed “foodies” I am still reeling from our dinner last night. Wow! David is a culinary master and living just ten minutes from this gem is another reason we are proud of our little city! Sarah M I adore you! You made our experience even that more special! We are your newest cousins and truly feel like part of the family.
A wonderful date night with the ladies! So much fun trying new foods and they were very accommodating as I am pregnant and provided lemonade and cooked my ahi tuna so I could enjoy it. ????????.
The food and the experience was amazing! Definitely something to put on your bucket list.
Chef Dave, and his crew, know what they're doing despite that fact he's never been to cooking school. There is something so unique about the quality of his food and the pairing of wines.
If you are looking for a one of a kind experience, some good jokes and top tier service this will be one for the books.
At the end of dinner he explained they were short staffed (normally they have 12 and they only had 7) We would have never known. Everything was timed perfectly and there was just enough time in-between each course. We will be back 100%
Thank you for making our experience top notch and helping us celebrate our 5 year anniversary in such a special way♡
This experience was really fun. The chef makes the meal and the food is fantastic. Very small portions, which is ok since there are 14 courses. Each one was unique and delicious. The wine pours were tiny, some as small as two sips. In all the pours I'd guess it equated to maybe two glasses of wine over all the courses and three hours. I was disappointed with this part, especially for the cost, but I can see hammered guests would make the evening far less enjoyable. The staff drank way more than that guests did. Overall though, it was very entertaining and the food was great. The service was phenomenal.
Indulge in the divine at Candle In The Woods, a culinary gem. Accommodating only 20 guests, this celebrated restaurant mesmerizes with a preset menu of 13 exquisite dishes and perfectly paired wines. With accolades, Chef David's enchanting presence and impeccable presentation elevate this dining experience to unparalleled heights. Trust the Chef and prepare for an unforgettable evening of gastronomic bliss.
