Welcome to Franna's Restaurant Review Page - Coeur d'Alene. We love to eat and we love to go out and try new restaurants. Anna spent nearly thirty years in Restaurant Management in the southern California area; so has the eye of an eagle when it comes to restaurants. (and her father was a French Chef)  I believe that this makes her uniquely qualified to judge food quality and service in the places we visit. We began our first Review page in San Diego, California about 9 years ago and relocated two years ago to the Coeur d'Alene area.

We use a star system to grade;  with 5 stars being the highest award possible.  Restaurants with major problems with food or service are designated with a fly.
