    Clam chowder
    John J.

    Very friendly service and helpful. Jamie did a nice job. Definitely enjoy the ambience with the lake view. We both had the prime rib. It came with a delicious Idaho baked potato and asparagus. It came with either homemade clam chowder or 1 trip to the salad bar. We opted for the clam chowder. It had pretty good flavor but too much bacon and potatoes and very little clams. The prime rib was at least 10oz, cooked to order and had nice seasoning and a good flavor on the cap, but a little tough and bland otherwise (certainly not a prime cut). Really enjoyed the Huckleberry Sundae for dessert.

    iPad menu!

    Cedars was such a great experience! I loved this floating restaurant, it was my first time experiencing something like this! The food was great with so many options and the salad bar was fun too. Haven't been to one of those in a while.

    My girlfriends and I came for the early dinner specials! The service was amazing! Waters kept full, drinks refilled, nonalcoholic prosecco allowed me to really immerse myself in the bubbly social ambiance, and the floating restaurant itself provided absolutely stunning views! Great chowder and salad bar to start, and wonderfully flavorful entrees (I had the prawns, friends had prime rib, and salmon--I think!). The servers took group pics for us, separate checks, and treated us like gold. Amazing! Definitely recommend and will be going back!

    We also came to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Not exactly what I had imagined, it was very loud, lots of crying babies haha- which is totally fine if you are not looking for a quiet romantic dinner:) The food was just ok, the floating of the restaurant was very cool with a nice breeze coming through the open patio doors. The service was also just ok... I did think it was very sweet that there was a note and rose petals left on the table for us wishing us a happy anniversary:)

    First time dining here and we were excited to finally check it out. The view was spectacular and very cool they have a place to dock your boat. Service was great and all the food was tasty. Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu

    Sirloin, asparagus, and mashed Potatoes.  Sirloin was ordered MR, but served MW.

    Cedars had been a local favorite for years. Their salad bar and complementary bread rolls are reliably good. The service is always great, but unfortunately our most recent visit here was disappointing. Most of the entrees our table ordered were overcooked, which isn't surprising with how long they took to arrive after being ordered. Our waiter was busy with what seemed to be a large section of tables. To their credit their customer service was great, but each course was delayed a bit resulting in overcooked entrees. Drinks, salad, and appetizers are good, but entrees vary. For the prices of this place, I believe there are far better alternatives in CDA.

    Excellent burger and old fashion cocktail.

    Had a wonderful dinner, while sitting at the bar. Cedars never disappoints. My server bartender Megan was awesome. Will definitely be returning soon...

    Scallops & bacon!

    Every year it's a MUST MUST MUST & tradition for our friends & family!! BEST SERVICE, SEAFOOD & VIEW!! If you haven't, you are missing out! Number 1 place in CDA!

    Bread was very hard and tough
    Heidi R.

    Make sure to make a reservation if possible. The server we had was not the friendliest. She seemed to have been having a crappy day or hated her job. We didn't hold it against her. The view and ambiance is amazing! The food was delicious. One of the very best salad bars around. Tons of options for toppings and sides. The bread brought to the table was tough and could have done without. Overall a great place to eat. Definitely worth a try. We will be back.

    Been going here for 30 years. It just gets better. Amazing food, hostess Julie was a delightful person. What a great face to be greeted by and thanked by when leaving.

    We go to Cedars every year for restaurant week and it's always a great experience. This year it was $45 for a three course meal. I ordered the prawns, the salmon, and the chocolate mousse. I also ordered a huckleberry Moscow mule and the small fishbowl. You can add the salad bar for an extra $10. Total spent on this visit was $85 and I'd happily do it again. 10/10 recommend Cedars for special events or if you just want to treat yourself.

    The jerky shrimp were a little sweet forward

    The ambiance was great, sat by the window we could watch boats sailed by and paddle boarding. The service was efficient and friendly They offered a good selection of meat, seafood and desserts I love their salad bar. Clam chowder were always one of my favorite

    The food was amazing. The service was a little bit slow, but we were not in a hurry so we did not mind. The atmosphere is amazing and the views are great.

    Is there a vegan option currently on the menu?

    I didn't see any but I wasn't looking either. Very extensive salad bar though. Don't know if that helps?

    Quite honestly we haven't been back to Beverly's since a terribly disappointing experience on…read moreValentine's Day 2-years ago. We fully expected to be seated in the restaurant, but instead were disappointed to see the entire Sweetheart Deal grouping seated in a back conference room with no view. It was certainly not the romantic vibe we thought we were paying for when booking the Sweetheart deal. I'm all about giving people and places a 2nd chance, so we gave Beverly's a 2nd chance on my 67th birthday. Since the day fell on a Monday, the restaurant wasn't packed and we received premium seated and service. I must say, we were both happy to give Beverly's a 2nd chance. The staff was tremendously attentive and welcoming. The food and wine pairings were terrific for each and every course. I had the Burrata Salad, Surf & Turf and Huckleberry Cheesecake, while my wife ordered the Hummus & Olives, Seafood Paella and Chocolate Flourless Cake. Each course, the sommelier came with an excellent wine pairing and explanation. Quite honestly, when we came to the Sweetheart meal a few Valentine's Days ago, the 3 wine pairings were inexplicably late for each course. That was not the case tonight! Bravo Beverly's, it won't be 2-years before we return again!

    Good day, discerning Yelpies…read more Prepare yourself for an experience that transcends the expected at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. This is not merely a meal; it is a seamless blend of hospitality, heritage, and culinary precision. The sense of history here is not something to be explained--it's something to be felt, subtly woven into the atmosphere in a way that elevates the entire evening. From the moment you arrive, the service sets an impeccable tone: attentive without intrusion, polished yet warmly familiar. It invites you to settle in, to linger, and to trust that you are in capable hands. In the kitchen, there is clear confidence and command. On both of my visits, every dish arrived thoughtfully composed and flawlessly executed--evidence of a chef who understands not only technique, but balance and restraint. Nothing felt excessive; everything felt intentional. The bar program deserves equal praise. Whether you lean classic or contemporary, the execution is exacting. The Smoky Old Fashioned carried depth and finesse, while the Paper Plane was bright, balanced, and effortlessly drinkable--each cocktail a testament to craft rather than flair alone. Make your way to the fourth floor, and you'll discover a space that manages to feel both refined and inviting. It's the kind of place where time slows slightly, where conversation flows easily, and where you leave not just satisfied, but genuinely cared for. This is dining done with quiet confidence--and it lingers with you long after the final sip.

That said, the **service was fantastic**. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were properly taken care of throughout the meal. **The Food** I ordered the **Peach Bourbon BBQ Burger**. I loved the concept--the sweetness of the peach really complemented the savory beef beautifully. However, the execution fell a little short. There were only **two slices of peach** on the entire burger, and it was significantly **lacking sauce**. Between the minimal toppings and the lack of BBQ sauce, the burger ended up being quite dry. The sides didn't quite help the moisture issue, either. The **fries were very thin and overcooked**, giving them a crunchy, dry texture that made the overall meal feel a bit parched. Izzy's is a solid spot with great people, but I can't help but feel it might be a bit **overhyped by social media**. The flavors are definitely there, but for the price and the reputation, I was hoping for a bit more generosity with the toppings and better execution on the sides. Worth a try if you're in CDA, but maybe ask for extra sauce on the side!

    We really like this Elmer's restaurant…read more I wouldn't say it's one of our favorite restaurants, we don't go here very often. However every time we have Ben, we've had a really pleasant experience. First of all, the staff is always friendly and helpful. The servers are always very attentive. The managers even come by on occasion just to make sure that everything's okay. The prices are reasonable, they have a good kids menu and a good seniors menu. It's very casual and exactly what you would expect for the atmosphere at an Elmer's restaurant. The food is also usually pretty good, if not a little unimaginative or unoriginal. But this is a standard breakfast / lunch / dinner diner and you're going to get exactly what you expect at this location. It is a little awkward to get to off of appleway. But we've never had any issues here, and for an Elmer's this place gets five stars.

    Come for the food, but stay for the hospitality!…read more We went on Mother's Day this past weekend and expected a crazy wait. To our surprise, we were seated almost immediately after my wife was given a rose! There's something about wood in restaurants and homes that just makes me feel so warm. You just can't beat this type of ambiance, and this Elmer's has a lot of unpainted wood! On to the food! My wife had the German pancake with fruits on it, her aunt had the Oregon trail steak, and I had a Reuben. The German pancake was unlike anything we've ever tasted. It was light like a crepe, but held its own shape like a traditional pancake. The fruits added a wonderful freshness to the plate. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned appropriately. Not much to say other than it was a good steak for the price! The Reuben was tasty. My only criticism throughout our entire experience at Elmer's was that I wish there was more thousand island on that sandwich. Now, I don't normally write reviews, but I found it incredibly important to draft one up for this restaurant for the staff's honestly. We forgot a pair a Ray Bans at our booth when we left the restaurant, and one of their workers came running after us waaaay into the parking lot to return them. Other people would just pocket it or put it in their lost and found. Not these employees. They will literally chase you down to return your personal belongings. Fantastic experience overall that could've used just a little more thousand island dressing
