“My first career allowed me to fly airplanes for the United States Marine Corps for twenty years. I truly wondered if a second career could be as rewarding and my answer is “YES”. Now, Tom Malzahn, Kootenai County Treasurer, is managing our money.
When Tom’s not directly involved with tax payer issues, it’s life with his grandkids. With three in Spokane Valley and one in Priest River, Tom proclaims “they’re what you live for.” When the kids aren’t around, he participates in the Post Falls Rotary or is out golfing at his favorite golf course, the Highlands. You’ll also find him enjoying his favorite restaurant Fleur de Sel. “Patricia (owner and hostess) always welcomes us with a hug” Malzahn says. “The restaurant is very, very warm inside - a place I really like to be”.
The restaurant offers outdoor seating in warm weather, and according to Tom “the view is the best, well, maybe Beverly’s during the day, but definitely Fleur de Sel at night with the lights of the city. I would eat anything on the Fleur de Sel menu.” With a variety of French fair, the menu changes with the seasons. The wine list is extensive and offers something for every taste and to compliment the menu items.
Although Tom would eat anything off their menu he and Cathy do have some favorites. Crab and Potato Beignets or the Pommes Frites are shared for their Appetizer, then the Shrimp, Avocado, and Mozzarella Salad , “very fun salads”, and finally for their main course Tom enjoys the Leg of Lamb or Pork Tenderloin, “the seasoned flavors melt in your mouth”, while Cathy prefers trying their fish specials.
Owners Laurant and Patricia Zirotti moved to Post Falls from Billings, Montana and have since created an experience that all their faithful patrons enjoy. While Patricia mans the front of the restaurant, Laurant mans the back as the Head Chef. With a menu that is high class but affordable it’s a great customer service experience, and with the elegant but casual atmosphere the Zirotti’s are a duo to be reckoned with.
About Fleur de Sel
In the same building as the Highlands Day Spa, Fleur de Sel serves gourmet French inspired dishes. Reservations are recommended. The restaurant owners, Laurent and Patricia Zirotti, moved to Post Falls from Billings, Montana and opened the restaurant in 2008.
