Tonight Lorien and I drove over to The Office, a new(er) restaurant in Post Falls. I was skeptical, especially when the sign outside says “Bistro Pub and Martini Bar”. Anyway, the food was a little pricey, but quite good. The waitress staff was very friendly, and the chef even came out to our table to ask how everything was. I haven’t had that pleasure before, and it was nice. I had a nightly special, grilled halibut, it was a little under $17, but quite a big piece of fish. To be totally honest, I expected it to be smaller. For some reason, the “bistro” name comes with higher prices and smaller servings. The menu wasn’t really big, but had enough selections to choose from. The dessert menu was in the waitresses head (there were only three items). Lorien had some very good linguine noodles in a soup with some clams and bread all around the bowl—the bread was awesome.
Overall, I have to say the food was great, but I won’t be going back soon because the menu wasn’t huge. I certainly recommend it for a night out for a couple that’s looking for a new restaurant. The Office is located where the old Momiji’s Japanese food place used to be, right behind The White House (the garlic-smelling restaurant right off the freeway in Post Falls).
