Dockside Restaurant

Wonderful restaurant! We had a table by the window and it was nice to see the lake and watch the boats coming in. Atmosphere and service were outstanding. The food was fabulous! Only complaint is one of the dishes wasn’t very hot. Barely warm enough to eat. I didn’t complain or I’m sure they would have taken care of it. Still very tasty. We will definitely be back!

I can’t praise this restaurant enough!

Sometimes it just seems the atmosphere of a place can make or break a meal. Looking out over the lake at sunset while eating a delicious dinner is something everyone should do.

But it wasn’t just the atmosphere. Both the staff and the food were amazing. The staff were quick, attentive, and pleasant people. And the food? The steak was perfectly done, juicy, and packed full of flavor. The Mac and cheese creamy and delicious. I also had a salad from the salad buffet which had everything I wanted.

My wife and I visited for our anniversary, and at the end of the meal we were both stuffed. We had seen some of the massive desserts being delivered to tables and almost caved into getting one, but I didn’t think my stomach could handle anymore. Boy was I wrong. At the end of the meal, the server brought us an anniversary dessert that was PERFECT. It was a smaller portion, which somehow managed to fit on top of all the food in my gut. And although I felt ready to explode, we appreciated the sentiment and making our anniversary that much better.
Thank you Dockside Restaurant!

We have been for the Easter and mothers day brunch. It was amazing. Service was great, beautiful view, great food. My only disappointment is that if you book afternoon on the bigger days with the brunch, they run out of things you might like. For example, the Mac and cheese and Macrons. Other than that, grateful for wonderful service from those who have to work on the holidays. We have been a few times on non-holidays. Steady, consistent service with good food!

We chose to celebrate my birthday with a late lunch on a beautiful day. Ariana greeted us and gave us a nice table with a beautiful view. We aren't big spenders, in fact, we shared our prime rib french dip, french fries and we ordered a cup of soup. The servings were plentiful and delicious. She went out of her way to make our visit special. I had received a complimentary Gooey Sundae, and it was a very special treat indeed! We barely put a dent in it, and she provided the perfect take-home container. With Ariana's attentive and pleasant care, I had a birthday to remember. Thank you so very much.

Everyone raves about the gooeys—they’re enormous and perfect for sharing! Their French fries are also a standout. I highly recommend this restaurant overall. While the service can vary, as it mainly relies on high school staff, our recent experience with a particular waiter was less than ideal—she seemed unapproachable and somewhat irritated. Nonetheless, the menu is filled with excellent options worth trying.

Sure can c why so many stars on reviews.Daughter thought this would be a good place to come for breakfast. Pretty decent salad bar and breakfast brunch. Tried the crème brûlée French toast. WOW. Lots to pick from and all the containers were full of apple flavoured bacon, tasty sausage, slices of sausage that was even better, had a bite to them. Waiter was ok. He forgot a few things that we asked for but overall was friendly and mentioned the French toast. Good choice. Lots of servers and place was very clean. The view was worth the price of breakfast. Right beside lake. First time here and won’t be our last. Only draw back was the extra fee to park. Washrooms were very clean .

Came specifically for the Ooey Gooey. The Huckleberry Lemon was AMAZING! We had Allison as our waitress, who not only got us seated right away during a busy hour, but she helped me find a good meal for car sickness since we were just driving through. My chicken was a bit blackened and tough to cut at the edges, but the rest was moist and delicious, and I am excited to see how the leftovers hold-up. The view was so lovely... I know it wasn't meant to be a show, but even the table bussing was impressive! Gonna see if my sister is interested in coming back for her birthday so I can have more of this month's Ooey Gooey flavor!

The dining experience was great
Really great tasting food
We have the salad bar, Fish and Chips, Sesame Seared Ahi, and Clam Chowder

October 29,2023, update 1 star rating The service was friendly. But breakfast was way off, biscuit was dry crumbling couldn't even eat it. Our food was dry and crusty, I have been coming here for a while, and this is my first major disappointment. I hope they up their game. For the price, the food should be amazing, not subpar. I'm very disappointed.

Had brunch here the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Really great place, we enjoyed the service and the food. They have a Sunday brunch, but make sure to make reservations. I plan to make Easter Sunday reservations for next year. The view is beautiful of the lake. We have eaten here 3 times in 6 weeks. We like it that much. It's a bit pricey we paid $109 for 3 of us to eat before tip. This included 1 appetizer, 1 salad trip, 1 cup soup, 3 meals, and a dessert. The clam chowder is amazing. We really do enjoy this place. Very casual, you can dress nicely for a date or wear jeans and a T-shirt.

Exceptional, Amazing and Outstanding in every category. I have never experienced a dinner that performed this well in EVERY category. Usually there is one area of improvement needed, but not here! We had huckleberry martinis (2 each), the salad bar plus chicken and huckleberry lemonade guey for dessert (1 is enough for 2 people). Jake was our server.

Beautiful views of the lake and the bubble crepes were over the top. Our entire table ate from them... way too much for a single person but they were delicious.

We stopped in for breakfast and everything was great. We had steak and eggs, pancakes, scramble and eggs Benedict were all really good, The Bloody Mary and Mimosas were very good as well. Will definitely come back!

Well you definitely need to try this place! I went with my mom. We ate a cup of chowder, crab fritters, shrimp scampi and finished with coconut cake!!! Absolutely delicious!! The whole group from the servers to the cooks are bringing the best forward! Just a must try! When I come back around I will be there! Thanks 👍

Great food, we sat in the bar with full menu available. Had salad bar which had many options. The food was cooked perfectly.

I've been coming to this restaurant for years. Never a bad time. My memories started with my girlfriend, who would later become my wife. Tonight, we shared the moments with our 2 kids. It never ceases to amaze me how tremendous the food is, the service of the kindest people, and the atmosphere being beside a beautiful lake. My go-to whenever I am in Coeur D'alene. A pure staple, and I hope it keeps standing for so many years to come.

We enjoyed our dinner at dockside we split the prime rib. It was a bit undercooked but still a great experience
The crab cakes were amazing The only surprise was we ordered just basic wine it was $22 a glass so that’s just kind of ridiculous but we had a beautiful view of the boats coming in and sitting by the window and it was really lovely.

Absolutely amazing staff, excellent food, beautiful view. We love coming here for a fun evening.

What a great place to eat! There were 5 of us (kids included) and we had great food, great atmosphere and awesome service. I would definitely recommend this unique restaurant and would eat here again!

Gorgeous view.
Busy but not loud.
Parking in garage; get validation for free up to 3 hrs.
Amazing food. So hard to limit choices. Everything was amazing.

Good restaurant with amazing deserts!
Their deserts is the reason to visit them.
Good entrees, they’re changing and updating everything, makes me want to go back to try more things and to take more pics. Love their clam chowder. Shrimp scampi is good. Huge improvement in decorations, tables, and seats.

Went back and tried it again and took more pics. Pretty good and impressed. Looks like no more pasta other than scampi, and high prices. But the views and environment are amazing.
