What an experience. A few days before Sue reached out to ensure all the details were taken care of, allowing for an evening of relaxation for a large group reservation. We were welcomed with special concoctions and engagement, followed by an evening paced with a delicious variety of dishes and beverage, crafted, selected and presented with care. YUM! The entire staff ensured every detail and guest was well cared for. It was a truly memorable unique evening.

Amazing experience. Connor and the team treat you like family from the moment you enter and are handed a cocktail all the way through each of the 13 courses. Highly recommend making a trip.

This was my husband, and I'm 2nd time, we brought my uncles and my mom. It was their first time!.. As always, an amazing experience!! The only bummer was you guys don't do the limo service. That was fun the first time around!... But we found Bethany from Divine Driving, she was great. But you might want to take the limo service off your website, cause it got my hopes up. Keep being amazing!.. I reccomend you to everyone I know!!

What a unique experience in North Idaho! I thought this was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but we are both so tempted to return and see what’s new! Conner is a fabulous host and all of the other staff were sweet, welcoming, and truly gifted!

I had heard great things, but I really had no idea what to expect. The atmosphere was welcoming, casual and fun. We came with open minds and decided to try whatever food was presented to us. We were pleasantly surprised! Had we read the menu ahead of time, we would have probably not been excited about some of the things on the menu. However, absolutely everything was amazing! We will be back!

The food was very good but not worth the money. The experience was ok just not my kind of thing. I felt the people who put this on spent the whole night promoting themselves. We asked for a private table but apparently that is not a thing there unless you want to sit at a raised bar style table right next to everyone else on very uncomfortable chairs. They shouldn’t even offer that option. We wanted to get our own bottle of red wine but were treated like we were committing a crime or something for requesting it. Another option they shouldn’t offer.

We booked our reservation 11 months in advance and the wait was definitely worth it!! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Each dish was meticulously crafted with locally sourced ingredients, offering a harmonious blend of flavors that is both innovative and delicious. The presentation is nothing short of art. What sets Candle in the Woods apart is the personal touch and passion of the chef, who shares the inspiration and story behind each dish. This level of interaction adds a unique and intimate dimension to the dining experience. The wine pairing is impeccable, featuring selections that perfectly complement each course. The service is exceptional, with a staff that is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring every guest has an unforgettable evening. Dining at Candle in the Woods is more than just a meal; it's an exquisite experience that leaves you eagerly anticipating your next visit. If you're looking for a remarkable dining adventure, this is the place for you. Highly recommended!
