We have been hearing about “Two Tones Restaurant” in Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho and took a road-trip to check it out. This is a down home, family operated eatery with good vibes and great ambiance. That was the best thing about the place. While it isn’t your 4 star NY rating, where competition is huge, I give it this rating because of its unique venue and character and there is nothing else like it in the area.
My friends had excellent chicken, sauce and mashed potatoes. The salads were great. I ordered the spaghetti which was okay but the meatball was definitely over cooked and the meal was dry. So, I will avoid that dish in the future and try other dishes that I hear are very good.
Summer is the time to enjoy the water feature on the back patio. They do have heaters but hey, Northern Idaho is cold except for a few months during the summer.
Check out “Two Tones”. I recommend it and if this posting was helpful, please “Like” my post. It helps to have the feedback.
The food has been fantastic on both occasions, and the service was even better! The owner was gracious on our initial visit and recommended a nearby hike to a beautiful waterfall, Myrtle Falls. Sit outside and enjoy the ambiance with serene water features and a squirrel show. Every appetizer, entree, and dessert has been incredible, you can't miss!
Those to the North end of the panhandle, this is for you. If you are looking for five star caliber food, without the high price, this is the place to go. Being from Seattle and traveling for business I have sampled great food from all over. The chef has worked at several high end restaurants on the coast and has compiled a menu of the best meals and deserts.
Hands down best clam chowder I have ever had. He makes it every Friday and will sell you a large batch if you call in Thursday or early Friday. Grab some for hunting camp, or fishing the river to warm you up. The pasta my wife and I ordered had us overindulging. My son’s hamburger looks like something that you would see on an ad for American beef farmers. Oh but wait, they have those deserts I mentioned earlier. Save room if you can, or get it to go. I would have posted pictures of those too, but they were devoured before I got a chance.
I feel that the other employees also have their own contributions as it sounded like one was in charge of the deserts side of things. The owner and staff were all very welcoming and offered fast and friendly service. If you are headed to Bonners Ferry, add this in to your stop. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant.

On a whim and based on some of the reviews, we decided to try out Two Tones Cafe on our way back to Sandpoint. One of the best lunches we both have had in a long while. Decided to share the French Dip sandwhich and the steak salad. I give the sandwhich a 10 out of 10. The meet was SO Tender! Fries that came with it were good also. Hubby loved the steak salad...especially with the balsamic vinaigrette it came with. I think I would have enjoyed it with a more fruity or less stringent vinaigrette, but I really like the slices of fresh cabbage in this salad which isn't typical of a spinach salad...made for great added crunch to the overall texture- not to mention healthy. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. And finally, when I asked our hostess/waitress if all the desserts were made fresh, she answered yes and she is the one who makes all of them! Hardest choice to pick one, but I chose the chocolate mousse cake with Raspberry drizzle. Cake was fresh and moist, texture and flavors really good. I prefer my cakes to be richer, but most people would Really appreciate that this one is not....so great cake. Will absolutely come again and I intend to try All the desserts!
Truly a hidden gem in Bonner’s Ferry! If you’re a foodie, stop here. There are multiple items on the menu I would love to try. The food was fantastic and I will definitely stop here again.
The service was superb as well.
My husband and I were given a gift card to Two Tones with our stay at the Northside School Bed and Breakfast. He and I waited until our last night and we are happy to say we will definitely be coming back. The food, atmosphere and service was great. We don’t live far and are talking about making the hour drive to come here for dinner.
Thanks for this awesome experience.
The food and service was great, we had a nice cozy lunch mom and I. Highly recommend this place.
First visit at this restaurant for our 16th Anniversary and it did not disappoint. Started with mouth watering BBQ wings appetizer, then the buttery scampi with penne pasta for my main dish. It was quite flavorful and the Al dente pasta was cooked to perfection; however, the shrimp was slightly overcooked. The melding of garlic, butter, mild peppery taste with fresh squeezed lime juice and tomato is a dish I recomnend. Hubby had ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and gave me a sampling of each. Both were delicious. Topped it off with burnt cream for dessert. We enjoyed the indoor atmosphere of the log cabin and outdoor dining area looked to be quite pleasing with a water feature. Mandy, our server, provided us with excellent service. Menu prices are reasonable for the good quality food and portion sizes. We are planning to return again in the near future to try another culinary delight from the menu.
