We came here for a family birthday celebration. Had a great time. Service and food were both excellent. And the wonderful view of the lake on a sunny day. We ordered the Idaho potato skins (without bacon) and they were supremely yummy! Crispy, cheesy, and just right with the sour cream. Our non-alcoholic drinks hit the mark. For mains, we ordered burgers and pasta primavera. The pasta had great flavors-- a nice cheesy sun-dried tomatoes sauce with a plethora of garden veggies. There was a nice kick to the sauce which I relished. We ordered crème brûlée for dessert. It was splendid! Our waitress was sweet-- she kept checking in on us to ensure we were doing okay with our food. A 10/10 here. Parking situation was okay given how crowded this side of the town gets on a weekend. We managed to find a spot. The only thing that confused me is I am not sure if this restaurant does complimentary birthday dessert. I indicated on my reservation but I don't believe they do anything about it. I am surprised that a restaurant at this caliber doesn't do anything to make their guests feel special. We told our waitress and she did bring a candle on the crème brûlée. I guess that's all they do then. My only other feedback is to have more vegetarian options on the menu. read more

There's something about these "yacht club aesthetic" harbor restaurants that always seems a little soulless and artificial: sometimes it's the menu that doesn't use fresh-caught, local seafood; sometimes it's the cheap pinewood tables and chairs camouflaged by nautical novelties; sometimes the place just sucks, and is propped up by nothing more than tourism, nostalgia, or worse: nostalgic tourists. Dockside avoids most of these maritime miscalculations, but leans into a few of them as well: namely, a lack of an unique identity. There's plenty of excellent looking, sounding, and tasting items on the menu, but none of them give you a clear picture of what story or trajectory the chef is trying to steer you toward, which honestly isn't that big of a deal, if you're just looking for a solid meal. You'll find that here, unquestionably. It's just not likely to be a particularly memorable one. Yes, the salmon dip was good, although there definitely wasn't enough bread, unless you slather it in enough spread to make the crostini underneath it seem like more of a suggestion. Our cocktails were on point, but you can tell that each pour of liquor was exacting and precisely measured, as to prevent any excessive alcohol beyond regulation. And when your bill comes to somewhere northwards of $80 for two drinks, an appetizer and a cup of soup, it's hard to cover that bitter taste in your mouth, no matter how good the stew tastes. It probably sounds like I am being unreasonably harsh on a restaurant that I've still giving three stars to, and perhaps I am; but only because Dockside feels like the sort of place that should be a designated dining destination, and not just a random ritzy resort restaurant that's WAY too hard to locate, if you're on foot using Google Maps, wandering around the perimeter of the building and wondering why you can't find any signage or entrances. Perhaps it was the aloof, disinterested server (and her anxious trainee) that seemed like she had better things to do elsewhere. Hell, maybe it was just me. But it's hard not to shake the feeling that Dockside is a ship adrift without a rudder, without a sextant, desperately searching for a north star to navigate toward, or a port to come home to, and finding nothing but the endless sea stretched out before it in all directions. read more

During our visit we came here twice. Of special note was Elise who was our server for breakfast. One of the best servers we have ever had and we eat out way too much. Food was great. The view perfection. read more

Dockside - Salad Near Me - Coeur D Alene, Idaho

On a road trip and first time to Idaho. Met up with old neighbors who relocated to Coeur d' Alene. We had lunch at a resort along the river and Dockside Restaurant was inside. Nice place with a view of the harbor. Our waiter was very kind and very helpful. He brought water to our table with menus. Menus that look like small tablets. Yes, this is the new age menus on a tablet. I ordered their Mac N Cheese, I was told it's the best!! Others ordered Salad Bar, Burger and Fettuccine. I was not impressed with the Mac n Cheese. I think I expected more from a resort restaurant. But, aside from the food the service was great. read more

What a special treat! Great experience. Tremendous view from most tables. Lot of parking. First time visitor and boy was it a good one. Polite and knowledgeable young staff. Seated me and served water right away. The young server that served the water recommended the panino sandwich, which I was skeptical. The server was a lovely young lady who's name escapes me , but she had other recommendations. I ended up ordering a strawberry lemonade and the panino. It was the best sandwich. The bacon bits were carmalized and ham was seasoned well. I also had a bowl of split pea soup. It was creamy, rustic and very original. The view of the snow covered mountains and docks with sea planes in the background just added to the ambiance. I did notice a rather sizeable salad bar that looked fresh. I travel alone for work and would definitely bring someone with me as it seems this place can be romantic at night read more

1.20.26: It's been hard to find a place that has a salad bar, so when I heard Dockside offered AYCE salad bar for $17 bucks I knew I had to check it out. We came for lunch and it wasn't busy at all. Our server came and took our drink order and I let her know 2 of us came for the salad bar, to which she said we could start right away. My friend ordered the Icon Burger, which is their 40th anniversary burger made with ground filet mignon. The salad bar was pretty basic, nothing extravagant, offering 2 types of lettuce, and the main staples you'd see on a typical salad, for example: tomato, cucumber, garbanzo beans, peas, red onions, shredded carrots, shredded cheeses, hard boiled eggs, olives, beets, and more. There were a couple of pasta salads, cottage cheese, and pistachio pineapple cream salad. There were 6 different salads dressings as well as oil and vinegar. What I enjoyed and appreciated is that all the ingredients were fresh--nothing looked old or wilted. My friend really enjoyed his filet mignon burger and said the fries were perfectly cooked and had a great season. I included a picture description of his yummy burger. We all know I love dessert, so I ordered one of their signature "Gooeys," the Magical Unicorn Gooey and boy was I in for a crazy magical treat lol. It was all my 8-year-old heart could have imagined and more! My friend ordered the Skillet Cookie and his mom got the Mountain Berry Cobbler. I will say every dessert ordered could have easily been shared between 2-3 people and all were really delicious. I'm trying not to write so much, something I'm also known for, so check out the picture descriptions of what we had. I will definitely be back for breakfast as I want to try their Lemon Berry Pancakes, Bubble Crepes, and Falafel Benedict. read more

An upscale restaurant/bar located inside the cda resort. If youre not staying at the hotel, just park in the parking garage and validate your ticket at the bell desk because 2 hours is free. We killed some time at the bar and enjoyed some dessert and drinks. Honestly most desserts will leave your pocket empty and underwhelmed. These were some of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Coconut cake and chocolate cashew cake were so moist. Check it out. read more

Decent experience in the resort restaurant. Everyone was hungry and we were seated right away. The server was nice but busy so we tried to make things easy. Had a nice calamari appetizer (a little spicy), handheld, a salad, and the trout plate. Things tasted great, had a nice table facing the lake, and the restaurant was pretty quiet considering it was a holiday weekend. It's a resort, meaning it's pricey, but not too bad for what you get portion and quality wise. Salad bar looked great too, had a cup of clam chowder and it was delish!! read more

We had some of the best service and a great view at this CDA restaurant! We got a view of the waterfront and boats at the CDA Resort during our meal and it was the perfect way to end our day. For food, we had the potato skins as an appetizer and a mix of burgers and fish for entrees. I personally had the fish tacos and they were divine! The sauce and mixed pinneapple salsa made for a great flavor combo. Those with the burgers and chicken sandwich had a hard time eating them due to their size, but they were delicious! read more

We wish we would've taken photos. We had great service reasonably priced food and a wonderful experience with a view.

My favorite restaurant in CDA! I love the macaroni and cheese and adore the salad bar. The ice cream sundaes are fantastic too!

We attended a birthday at Dockside. The salad bar was extremely disappointed. Certainly unworthy of $17. Adult beverages were extremely expensive. Waiters seemed to be jockeying around trying to avoid disaster with fellow waiters as well customers. I feel things have sadly gone down hill. read more

My husband and I came for breakfast after staying at the hotel. The dining area is very open and modern. As the name suggests, there are nice views of the dock and surrounding lake. We were quickly greeted and seated and our waitress was very nice and stopped by to take our order right away. The food was really good and not terribly priced for being a restaurant in the fancy resort. They also have a nice selection of coffee and mimosa drinks. read more

Charming restaurant & bar with beautiful views. We happened upon this place on our curiosity walk thru of the hotel. Had a leisurely drink at the bar around 7.

Look forward to a future dinner. read more

I've been wanting to get around to try the infamous "gooeys" that Dockside offers for the longest time and I finally got around to it! The service: The service was absolutely exquisite. Literally some of the best customer service I've ever seen. It felt welcoming and the employees were very helpful! Our server, Anthony, was so professional and helpful. The food: I ordered a royal cheesecake gooey and my brother ordered a magical unicorn gooey (after a long masculine crisis that was really quite ridiculous). We received both gooeys after less than a fifteen minute wait! Both gooeys were SO GOOD, though they were very, very rich and huge. But it was literally the best ice cream I've ever had and all the toppings were perfect. The royal cheesecake one had strawberry ice cream, vanilla ice cream, crumbles of cheesecake, a slice of cheesecake on top, a strawberry, strawberry syrup, whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs, and a graham cracker. The unicorn one had bubblegum (or cotton candy?) ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles, and candy. The environment: It was a very fancy, nice restaurant. It was very professional and clean. We had a beautiful view from the window, as well! Final thoughts: I would definitely come back here! Between the service and food, it's a win-win for me (but not for my wallet). read more

We enjoyed desserts at Dockside. The gooeys are HUGE! We got the cheesecake one and the Oreo one. Such a fun treat! We also had the lava cake, which was perfection. There was 5 of us and so much left over. Great experience! read more

Always a great place for a wide range of dessert options. Coconut cake was the best of the 3 we had. The chocolate gooey was great to start then just piles of chocolate bars at the bottom made it unfinishable. The cobbler was not a cobbler more like a warm cake but the berries were wonderful . read more

We came early at 3:45 before our Santa Cruz to have a quick dinner and dessert. We got a nice table at the windows. We could overlook the water and watch the boats coming and going. We could also see some of the Christmas lights on the boardwalk, which was really magical. My husband and I split a turkey Panini sandwich and a Cobb salad. Both were delicious. Definitely would recommend getting both my husband also had the vanilla bourbon espresso martini, and I had the Huckleberry Mojito both of them. I definitely recommend giving a try. The waiter was friendly and patient with my two crazy children. We also got dessert, the gooey of the month, the pumpkin spice gooey it was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend that too dockside never fails to deliver with great service, wonderful ambience, and great views of Coeur d'Alene. It's definitely one of our favorite places to go in winter or summer. read more

Dockside - Pumpkin spice gooey - Salad Near Me - Coeur D Alene, Idaho

Heads up. The advertised $6 price of a weekend buffet mimosa is false. The actual price is $9. And that's for the 6 oz. glass. They also offer a 9 oz. glass for a whopping $18. It means you could get two 6 oz. glasses for the same price as one 9 oz glass. Strange pricing and false advertising aside, the taste and appeal of the $24.95 weekend breakfast buffet was disappointing. Eggs benedict looked old and tired. Huckleberry pancakes were thin and rubbery. Bacon overcooked. I guess it's a hazard of buffet cooking. I won't go back simply because of the food. The misleading advertising and bloated pricing of mimosas cinches the deal. read more

Beautiful setting by the lake. Super friendly and knowledgeable server. Huge portions. Delicious food.

Very good food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Had requested a view of the lake, which it would have had except the blinds were down the whole time and not see through. So the restaurant could have been anywhere. We specifically went for the view of the lake. Don't know if we'll go back since we were on vacation. read more

My friends took me here for my birthday lunch. There were 11 of us, they sat us at a table for 10. They refused to add another table, saying everything was reserved! We were smashed into a corner & the table was at an angle. Several of us ordered the fish tacos. Well, let me tell you that fish was NOT fresh! I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning. I asked the two other folks who ordered them & they also didn't feel well that evening. The service was poor, water glasses sat empty, drinks not refilled & special dietary requests (no dairy) weren't delivered. The view is nice, but again we were seated in a corner! We are a group of friends that enjoy trying different restaurants in the area. We won't have a repeat luncheon here!!! read more

We went to Dockside last night for drinks and an appetizer and we won't be going back. Our martinis were teeny tiny, not good and $18 a piece. The potato skins were so burned, we couldn't even eat them. Our waiter was wonderful, the view is gorgeous, but $60 for 2 drinks and an appetizer we couldn't eat is just not ok. The resort needs to do better. read more

Great service and even better food. I came here for a work lunch and the views did not disappoint. I also ended up getting the steak which was phenomenal and the desserts are HUGE.

The experience was really cool! Our server, Nicole, was phenomenal, super friendly and attentive. The food wasn't the best, but the overall experience made it worth it, especially with the beautiful view of the water.

Prices were very reasonable for what we got, especially considering the view. read more

The best thing about my experience here was the salad bar. Service was unremarkable but my food was not worthy of a fast food rating. The host didn't have a clue about the food - HELLO she shud be the expert! I swapped squash veggies for potato and that is what I got a baked potato not even cut open. When I started eating my dry salmon, noticed it was raw, when I sent it back she brought butter back for my potato and announced it like she was doing me a favor. NEVER would eat here again. $75 for unseasoned salmon undercooked, plain baked potato! And three coconut shrimp! Worst eatery in a long time. Especially since Washington is supposed to be known for salmon!?!? read more

The food is good and I definitely recommend the steaks! The service is good and it has an amazing view of the lake! I also recommend getting the "Gooey" ice cream to share. The peanut butter one is the best, but each one looks like a work of art. Both the kids and grownups love them! read more

Dockside is located in Coeur d'Alene Resort. They have a garage for parking and valet. We had a table facing the lake, so it was beautiful to watch over meals. Came for breakfast and dinner. Food wasn't amazing but it was good. It reminds me of the food you get on a cruise. Nonetheless, service was great. Food was quick to come out. Not my favorite spot in Coeur d'Alene but worth having once. read more

Returned after 3 years to find that Dockside has been renovated. It was very clean. Ordered the steak, and it was okay. The Caesar salad was old. Wilted soggy. The Broccolini was overcooked and pretty much inedible. The mashed potatoes were cold. I will definitely pass. read more

This restaurant has a beautiful view which makes can jump start your morning! Service is friendly but there are a few staff that you can tell have never been in the service industry. One table behind me asked for coffee 5 times and hot sauce 3 times. Felt bad for the guy! Service was slow and other staff didn't seem interested assisting the busy waitress. For breakfast, food looks beautiful but it's really hit and miss. I don't reccomend the avocado toast cause it's so drenched in butter you really can't taste anything else. The prime rib hash on the other hand is very balanced with just the right amount of heat. Coffee has soul - nice and strong! Lunch has solid options and everyone at my table of four was very happy with the turkey sandwich, fries, huckleberry mojitos and strawberry salad. read more

The overall experience was ok. Dockside has great views and the wait staff was very friendly. But the food was exceptionally poor. The coconut shrimp starter was the highlight, coming directly from the deep fryer to our table. But the Rueben was super dry, almost beef jerky like. And the steak sandwich's bread was so soggy that we couldn't pick it up with our hands. And the steak portion about half of a burger. Fries were ok though. read more

Hit town and checked into the resort. The resort looks fun. Kind of high end with a little bit of a hillbilly riviera vibe. The restaurant was great. Seated within 10 minutes for a party of 7. We ordered pretty much all the appetizers. All pretty good. I had the turkey panino. Excellent! Around the table was a burger, shrimp scampi and one other I forgot. Sorry! Anyway, all solid choices. Service was awesome. Billy is your guy. He hit it out of the park. read more

5 star service from Jayde. She had a bunch of recommendations and helped us navigate through the menu. Apparently they revamped the menu items and were closed due to renovations. Went during lunch and any entree you order comes with a selection of sides. I ended up getting the serve-yourself-salad bar. It was great! My other half ordered crab with the steak and i wish they left the crab plain because it was super salty. I got the shrimp scampi- a bit oily but it was the perfect portion. Food was alright which is why im giving them 3 stars. I look forward to coming back because I didn't have room for dessert this visit. Apparently, they have this desserts called gooeys. read more
