Who's Wade Jacklin?
Wade is an owner/developer with Silverstone Homes & Land Company. He owns a condo at Schweitzer and is an avid skier, even enjoying the adventure of helicopter skiing.

Wade Jacklin is a man of action, always on the go enjoying life in North Idaho. Even his preferred dining experience features plenty of action. “I enjoy everything about sitting at Bonsai Bistro’s sushi bar. We love the ambiance and activity that happens when you watch the fish prepared and served right to you,” he says.

Wade knows his sushi and considers Bonsai’s Travis Whiteside one of the best sushi chefs around. “I like uni (sea urchin), toro (fatty tuna) and salmon. Travis usually comes up with something interesting for me, too, like a roll he creates on the spot with an off-menu item like Escolar,” remarks the adventuresome Mr. Jacklin.

Bonsai Bistro’s commitment to serve only the best is evident with daily deliveries by air of fresh fish.

Wade enjoys a “spot of sake” to compliment his dining and an extensive wine list is available, also.

The Pan-Asian menu includes house favorites such as wok-seared lettuce wraps and Vietnamese salt and pepper prawns. The tempura battered soft shell crabs are listed as Drunken Spyders on the menu and are a real treat.

Wade enjoys Bonsai Bistro with Tanya and their children, Talia and Colton, too. “We always have a great time whether we’re there as a couple, with friends or out with our kids,” he commented. The downstairs koi pond provides another way to enjoy fish ... as a soothing backdrop to the sushi.
