Food was GOOD, beer was GOOD, service was perfect. It had a weird vibe, a vibe so odd that I don't think we'll go back. Carpet needs to be taken out STAT :O( My daughter was there this summer, they had a banjo band playing etc and she thought it was fantastic! Maybe it would have been had there been more people in there or some live music going. Honestly, we couldn't wait to get out of there and we searched this place out. Long story short, go and check it out for yourself and make your own decision.
Review Source:As mentioned by another Yelper, the lamb burger was amazing! Â The pasta salad was also incredible. Â The Moo Shu burger from the daily special menu and potato salad were good but not amazing like the other entree. Â Friendly service, gave refills on ice tea and fountain drinks. Â The ambiance is a bit dark on a sunny day but clean and cozy overall. Â Highly recommend.
Review Source:We went into this place based on reviews on Yelp. Â What a find! Â It is very casual, family friendly, and the food is fantastic. Â We are spending 4 nights in Couer d'Alene and leaving tomorrow. Â We ate there last night and went back tonight! Â The food is fantastic. Â Last night we had the Chicken Caesar Tacos with the Roasted corn pasta . . . YUM. Â Tonight we shared a BBQ Chicken Quesedilla with a roasted Onion Sour cream sauce that was to die for. Â Hubby had the spicy beef tacos with the yummy corn pasta. Â I opted for the smoky tomato ravioli stuffed with portabello mushrooms and a basil pesto sauce. Â YUM! Â I have left overs. Â Might be a midnight snack!! Â We will be going back to Moon Time any time we are in town! Â I think I have died and gone to heaven!
Review Source:Drinker beware! I've seen multiple different bartenders on multiple occasions making various drinks and they all scoop the ice directly from the ice bin with the glasses.
As any seasoned bartender knows, you NEVER. EVER. put a glass directly into the ice bin. They chip, leading to glass chips in a customers drink. The whole thing can break too.
Clearly a management training issue.
Hopefully they address this because it's concerning.
Only been here once, but if I modify my rating I would expect it to only go up. This place has great beer and even better food, but everyone has already said that. I was pleasantly surprised with the family friendly and laid back atmosphere. Definitely a place to check out at least once....I'll be back!
Review Source:Skip the downtown fare and head here. Â Looks like a dive trap from outside bit great gasto style menu. Â Beer selection is varied but no local brews. Â
Had the Creamy Beef and Mushroom soup to start. Â Great chunks of need and potato. Â Excellent flavor but didn't prep me for the lamb burger. Â Was amazing. Â Must have! Â Goat cheese and red pepper topped medium cooked lamb burger was amazing.
I love moon time. I'm pretty picky about places and I am not all too pleased with what downtown CDA has to offer most of it is bland. Â Moontime is a great break from the mundane. Â They have very original food for a pub environment which I think is cool. Â It's way too easy for a pub to cop out and do frozen fryer foods like chicken strips and nachos. Â This place is way different. Think boo jah which is a pork and shrimp cake with a spicy thai aioli on a top of rice with cilantro. Or how about lamb burger or a great gumbo. Â I no longer drink but I have glanced and know they have a great beer selection too.
Review Source:Came here for dinner expecting your typical bar fare...and boy was I disappointed...in the BEST way possible. Â The food here is GREAT. Â First...this is a restaurant, not a bar, so yes, children are welcome. Â Second, if it is on special, it is probably good...go for it...what ever it is. Â Third, if you don't try anything else, at least try the spicy beef tacos. Â Not too spicy but, just right (sort of like goldilocks). Â In addition to excellent food they have a great selection of beers. Â My only complaint is that I wish they had more draft selections but, hey, with a great selection of bottled beers, I can't complain too loudly.
Seriously, stop in, bring the kids, sit back, relax, and enjoy the Moon Time.
Great spot for good food in a pub atmosphere. Thursday nights get crazy with dollar pints and live local music but that is part of its charm. I am not crazy about 90% of the servers they hire but the food is great for the price and the owner is amazing. Plus they give a great selection on tap.
Review Source:I guess I just don't get it. Locals swear by this place, but there are soooo many cool, chic, nice bars in CDA that are more hip & upscale that I can't figure out why people want to spend their evening here. Â It definitely has a following though, it's just not my kind of place I guess.
Review Source:Don't get put off by the lounge or roadhouse look from the street. This is a real deal gastropub with great food. One of our favorite meals in a 9-day trip of the Eastern WA and Western ID areas.
Open on New Year's Day For The Win! Nice, clean, comfortable space, friendly atmosphere. Server gave us two little tastes of a couple of pale ales to try, then we ordered a pitcher. It was good. Kids' Menu, check. Much more sophisticated and innovative-yet-familiar twists on the menu than we expected to see in CDA. Wife had the open face Sloppy Joe on cornbread with a wedge salad. I had the bean burger with the delicious spicy roasted corn pasta salad. Sounds weird, tastes great.
Definitely plan your next CDA visit to include a stop here!
Well worth a visit if'n you're hungry in the land of hard-to-spell-towns/lakes. Â
Cuban sandwich was about the best I've ever had. Â Simply perfectly tasty. Â Roasted corn pasta salad was excellent. Â Service was terrific.
Complaints? Â A place like this should have totally kick'n french fries... but they are sadly banished from the menu. Â Why oh why?? Â Something funky, something fancy, something starchy, crispy, and hot. Â Bring it (pretty please).
Husband and I visiting CdA for first time. Stopped at Moon Time for lunch per advice from a local who worked at Independence Point.
I ordered an appetizer for my entree, the BBQ Chicken quesadilla. Was very, very tasty. Just the right size for my lunch, since I was rather hungry and not usually a big eater. Especially liked the onion and cilantro flavors, along with the sauce. My husband ordered the moon burger and said it was delicious. He ordered chips, but received pasta instead. Waitress apologized and brought the chips quickly. Worked out ok, i suppose, because i took a bite of the pasta and thought it was very tasty. :-) Husband had to ask for a refill on his water instead of the waitress noticing an empty glass although that isn't unusual for him; he empties the glass quickly.
Hard for me to give a 5 when the order is not correct; however, I definitely recommend Moon Time and can't wait to retun.
All I can say is, when I'm in Coeur d'Alene Idaho, which I try to make at least once a year, my favorite place to eat, that I can't wait for and that I eat at as many time as I can while I'm there is Moontime and/or The Porch in Hayden (same owner, pretty much same menu) There food is awesome! The whole attitude of the place is awesome! And if you drink beer, which unfortunately I can't anymore, they have many wonderful brews that I have indulged in over the years, and some nice wines that my wife truly enjoys. OH you have to have the Moon Unit, its to die for!
Review Source:We were meandering around "downtown" Coeur d'alene debating what we should eat. Â We pulled out our smart phones to see what yelp had to say when we were approached by a young woman who had just arrived in her time machine from 1995. Â (Apparently Portlandia extends to Coeur d'alene, ID.) She had been sitting at nearby coffee shop and had overheard our conversation. Â She then went out of her way to interrupt out conversation to explicitly recommend The Moontime. Â (If it had been me, I would have chuckled to myself and let such bumbling "tourists" fend for themselves. Â Clearly she is a better person than I am.)
Anyway, at the behest of the coffee shop girl we ventured to the Moontime. Â Not only did Moontime have a wide selection of craft beers, but they also had the BEST food in Coeur d'alene . . . perhaps even in all of Western Idaho. Â I ordered the butternut squash ravioli. It was incredible. Â My mouth wanted more, but my stomach was pretty eff'n happy. Â Others in our party ordered the gumbo, the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich, and the Turkey Pot Pie. Â We left no casualties behind. Â Not one crumb.
Thank you magical time-traveling coffee shop girl. Â You were right - best food in Coeur d'alene.
Considering I don't know anyone in Idaho...I am writing this Yelp to get other people to book a flight NOW to go to Moon Time and order the Santa Fe Chicken.
I'm not sure what else there is to do in Idaho. Â I know it might be costly to fly somewhere JUST to eat a sandwich and then instantly fly back....but if there were ever a time to do such a thing, this is the time.
I'm telling you, I ordered the same sandwich in SD yesterday trying to relive the dream at Terra American Bistro and it sucked. Â Now, the sandwich at Terra did NOT cost me $1000 in flight and rental car...but I also didn't have a religious experience at Terra. Â I believe in the Santa Fe Chicken at Moon Time. Â I worship it. Â
Why? Â Because the Santa Fe Chicken sandwich at Moon Time is almost too good to be true! Â It was light and crispy on the outside...and JUICY on the inside. Â It wasn't killed...it was cooked!
It also has this honey cream cheese on it that is OUT OF THIS WORLD...and then, right when you think it couldn't get any better...BOOM...you bite into the sweet, sweet poblano pepper.
So...here is what I'm going to do.
I will give the first reader of this Yelp who does not live in Washington, Montana, or Idaho $10.00 to try it. Â That's right. Â I'll PAY for your meal. Â That is how confident I am that you will love this sandwich. Â
Of course, my opinion MIGHT BE connected to the fact that I did an Ironman a day before I ate this sandwich...so...sure...I might have been a little "extra" hungry....but I still stand by my offer....you pay for the flight and rental car...I'll pay for your sandwich.
Ha!
Hands down the best meal we had in Coeur D' Alene!
The first time we drove-by we decided not to eat here based on the appearance outside but we are so happy we ended up giving Moontime a chance.
The ambience is like an old neighborhood pub with high ceilings and lots of open space. There were six of us and everyone loved their meal and we ordered the brownie for dessert and it too was great.
Great service, great food, great prices, and great beer = great experience!
Dinner here was delicious! I had the ravioli and my friend the lamb burger that everyone else here is raving about. He said it was well worth the raves and I cleared my plate. The server was super friendly and prompt. Â I have no complaints about The Moontime and would return if in the area again.
Review Source:After a vigorous morning workout hiking Mineral Ridge I decided to stop here for a cold one or three and some lunch.
Wow.
The service was whip smart fast and accurate. I had a Hale's Cream Ale with nitro charge because Sundays are always NITRO SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY from growing up in the "Drag Racing Generation"
I'm normally not a cream ale drinker as I am a manly man who likes a thick dark beer that only the manliest of men may imbibe but damn this stuff was smoooooooove. I had like three or four them with lunch and didn't even feel it until I t-boned my jeep at high speed into a minivan full of nuns. JUST KIDDING. Always drink responsibly.
So, the lunch. OMFG. The chef here is a shaman. A magician. I had the "North Idaho Sloppy Joe" special, which on the face of it sounds frightening. It conjures up images of diced squirrel, out of season poached elk, maybe some northern pike mixed up in a ketchup and government surplus cheese sauce and dumped on Snyder's Buns and served on a shiny plate made from a recycled 87 Subaru Brat bumper (the official Car-Truck of North Idaho).
Nope.
Fantastic melange of pork, ground beef, tomato based sauce w green peppers, onions, other stuff and more other stuff I forgot piled on the most incredible jalapeno cornbread (who knew?) and on the side, two wedges of iceberg lettuce w blue cheese dressing.
Fantastic. I can't even say how much. This place made me love North Idaho even more and made me wish I lived there.
The setting was basic pub with some hipsters propped up in tables along the window looking sufficiently postmodern and ironic to give it that certain hipster cred that Men Who Have Forsaken Razors and Personal Grooming and the Tattoo'd Geek Chic Women Who Adore Them must have to make themselves feel complete and connected to a post-ironic universe contextualized to boring folk and alt-country music that nobody actually likes.
Dig!
Pretty nice spot. Cozy, welcoming pub atmosphere, and good place to bring a group when you're looking for great tasting American diner style cuisine, without spending a ton on each plate. Most of the delicious regular menu items are soups, sandwiches, pastas, and salads. They do specialties too that they change up frequently, which they prepare them from scratch to give that fresh homestyle quality most foodies will enjoy.
It's also the kind of place you wouldn't need to get food at, but could just post up at the bar and order a beer and some warm cashews (which are delicious), and be perfectly comfortable and welcome.
It's a pretty versatile place, and could be a good spot for lunch or dinner, or a good place to go with a group of friends, family, or even a date.
Whenever I have friends or family in from out of town, I suggest this as a place to eat. I think it's a pretty accurate window into the personality of the more hip parts of Coeur d'Alene.
the food is far better than average but seasoned VERY bland, probably to cater to the super geriatric crowd that seems to enjoy dining here.
I expected the ambiance to be more dark and intimate and hippy-esque. Its pretty bright and boring and sports-bar looking.
Really, everything I ordered was fresh tasting and they even have hard cider!
Not only the best gastropub in CdA, but one of my overall favorite restaurants, period.
Moon Time made me into a soup fanatic. Â I have a cup of their soup de jour every visit without fail. Â The most amazing thing is that the recipes share a lot of the same ingredients but are rarely similar and never have I had the same soup twice (I've come to accept this but sometimes the days special is so amazing you wish it would be a permanent staple on the menu).
Every meal I've had here has been beyond satisfying. Â Weekly specials are always fabulous, and tend to gravitate towards pasta dishes. Â Some of my favorites from the regular menu are the Moon Burger, BBQ Chicken Quesadilla, Grilled Onion Bread (add gorgonzola), and the Caesar Salad (house made dressing w/o raw eggs is great).
Service is always quick and pleasant, beer selection is great and served very COLD! Â Good prices all the way around the menu (I generally spend around $20 for two with a beer and tip included). Â This spot stays pretty busy around dinner and especially on Thursdays which are live music and $1 pint night (until the keg blows).
Make sure you give Moon Time a try, they are not to be missed!
This was one of my favorite meals ever... I ordered the Mediterranean lamb burger and my dad one-upped me and got the daily special, sloppy joes on jalapeno corn bread. We decided to split our meals, and both were sensational. I won't waste my time attempting to describe how delicious they were, but I highly recommend them.
When you add an amazing draft beer selection (Deschutes Obsidian Stout on tap...), you have yourself a very memorable meal. Plus our waitress was awesome.
I have seriously mixed emotions about writing reviews for places that I eat at while on the road.
I'm not from Couer D'alene, so, for all I know, this might be the best place in town.
Anyway, the place made up in authenticity what it lacked in originality. I'd prefer this to the faux-surfer set inhabiting other eateries in the area.
I was in the Spokane area over spring break, so my mom took me to the Moontime for a quick lunch when we were in CdA.
This little place is really cool. Â We went during the week at midday, so perhaps that would shed some light on what time is best to go for certain people.
We sat in the front, across from the bay window, so it was probably more chill and less noisy up there. Â It was cozy, but not in a bad way. Â I didn't feel like I was leaning back onto my neighbor's chair or listening in on private conversations. Â Everything's spaced pretty well.
I got the turkey sandwich, which was amazing. Â The roasted corn pasta was spicer than I had anticipated, but I thought it was tasty. Â (My mom, who doesn't like spicy foods, wimped out.) Â If you eat beef, her burger looked wicked fantastic (but I don't eat beef so I didn't taste it).
The service was great and I'd definitely go back the next time I'm in the area.
it says right on the door ...sit yourself, but when we did, we were told not to. Â I feel sorry for our Mom who's been standing by the door for a long time (by the way, they don't have a waiting area where you can seat and our mom is disabled). Â So we went back by the door while we are watching alot of young people getting drunk (at 7 in the evening). Â The bar and the Resto is together.... Obviously this is another Resto who's being manage by someone who don't even have a clue what they are doing. Â We only went here because of the review and we are not coming back too. Â This Resto is not good for family specially at night... Anyway, thats just my opinion
Review Source:Stop 1 of my brother's bachelor party (technically 2, after cliff diving at Tubb's Hill into Lake Coeur D'alene). Â
They had damn delicious burgers and food, and beer.
I'm not really too big on lamb, unless it's done right, and here I had the lamb burger. Â I think they missed out by not calling it a lamburger. Â I mean, come on, you don't get the opportunity to do that every day! Â Anyways, it was flavored with rosemary, topped with pesto and feta cheese. Â With a description like that, how could you not order it?
My brother had the steak sandwich and it was good, but he had to use only one bun because they slathered chopped garlic on way too thick on the top bun. Â I love garlic and it burned my mouth when I tried it. Â Just overpowering all around!
They have a really good selection of micro-brews for a Coeur D'alene burger den. Â
Service was sort of slow, but we didn't really mind too much, we were all too busy BSin' and reminiscing about the good old days.
Vegan review-
Just ok, not many choices here. All salad dressings seemed to have dairy, so only had oil/vinegar. They have tofu (although not listed on the menu) and they offered to sub it on any sandwich. Problem was, all sandwiches were flavored with either cheese or some mayo concoction - proving it difficult to not end up with something bland.
I had a tofu-burger, which was really a warm slab of tofu (garden herb) - not grilled, on a nice bun (probably not dairy free, but I was getting desperate), with lettuce, toms, and onions.
The beer was good...
G-g-g-g-g-get the L-l-l-lamb B-b-b-b-burger. Â It's *that* good.
Popped in here for dinner after a cross country flight and was glad I found this place through Yelp!
We were seated immediately, but the service was really spotty. Â The girl was working the room by herself (or at least we never saw anyone else but her working). Â She was efficient, don't get me wrong, but good golly it would have helped to have another person helping her out.
The lamb burger was absolutely delicious. Â The seasonings, the texture, all so yum! Â It came with a pasta salad that is apparently pretty popular, but I only had a few bites of it (very creamy, probably lots of mayo, unhealthy for me, stayed away even though it tasted good).
My partner ordered the ribs that were a special that night, and he didn't think they were very good. Â He said they tasted like ribs that just had sauce poured over the top of them.
I'd totally return for the burger, although I hear there is a sister location in Spokane (with a different name) that has the same menu. Â If you know which one it is, and you're closer to Spokane, give that lamb burger a try--I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
When I'm visiting great Pacific Northwest Inland Empire, I can likely be found at Moontime, drinking a beer, maybe playing one of the games that they have on shelves, then drinking another beer. It is a perfect place to escape the elements (hot, dry summer or cold, snowy winter) and just hang out as if it were a cafe.
The food--housemade bean-based veggie burger, quesadillas, etc-- is also good, but the beer and ambiance are what I come for.
Not a particularly refined place, but the unusual and amazing food combinations make up for it. I can't get enough of the spicy gumbo. The aforementioned chicken sandwich's honey cream cheese is a winner. I'd have everything on the menu if I could.
It's not that it's the best or that you can't find unusual food combinations elsewhere, but you can only find the Moontime in CDA. Stop by.
We stopped in to the Moontime because one of my husband's co-workers said that they had the best chicken sandwich in the whole wide world. And when someone makes such an outrageous claim, it behooves us to give something like that a fair shot at impressing our pants off.
Um, yeah. I wouldn't go as far as to call it the best chicken sandwich in the whole wide world, let alone the Pacific Northwest, or even the state of Idaho. But I would maybe give it best chicken sandwich in Coeur d'Alene honors. Decent, served with cream cheese stuffed poblano peppers underneath a melty layer of cheese, but not best ever. Sorry.
Though, the Moontime has a kickass draft beer selection, and if we weren't there in broad daylight on our way out of town, we might've partook in some libations. Next time, as the downtown area of Coeur d'Alene is as cute as a button, and we'll be back.
