Went for my Mother in Laws birthday and we all ordered a steak. The steak was 45$ and probably the worst steak I've had from a restaurant. The green beans that came with it were ice cold and mashed potatoes seemed like instant potatoes. The salad bar was good but if you're talking about a salad being the best part of you meal you can guess how the rest was. Very beautiful restaurant with awesome scenery just below average food for the pricing. read more

Our complaint about timing of food was addressed and I can't say enough about the professionalism and determination of the staff at Dockside to make things right. I appreciate their call and will be returning. Customer service isn't something a lot of companies these days take the time to make right. Dockside is... they have my support and respect. read more

Since our son's family live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho now, my husband and I are usually dining out at different restaurants when we visit them. Last week, someone suggested Dockside. Cannot believe my son has lived here 3 years already yet we only discovered this place now! My husband said it reminded him a little bit of Hawaii. He also said it's his FAVORITE restaurant in CDL now! Our server was Emily who was very accommodating. My husband had clam chowder (which he LOVED!) and salmon while I had the tasty shrimp scampi dish! My son and grandson had their usual chicken tenders. Anyway, we love this restaurant and cannot wait to try more delicious meals there. Even though we live in another state, we visit my son and the grandchildren twice a year now. Will be back in December! read more

So this is the third visit since our first on 5/27. On 6/16 I brought my team from work for an appreciation lunch. There was 6 people and we all had a great time. I ordered the Baked Seaside Chicken which was amazing and came with the wonderful salad bar. 3 of our group had the Crab Melt and even though the picture clearly shows it is an open face sandwich they all seemed surprised but really liked it overall. The other 2 people had the seared Ahi and this also came with the salad bar. They really liked both, I did notice that neither one ate the rice. For 6 I was pleasantly surprised how reasonable the check was. Today my husband and I went for lunch after driving to Wallace, Id for a Silver mine tour. My husband had the fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and I had 10 oz sirloin, both came with the great salad bar. Great. Both visits the staff was great from the hostess to our wait staff. Cookie Monster Gooey Going here is a great time. The view is wonderful. We will be trying the brunch and dinner menu soon. SOOOO worth the drive from Chattaroy, WA. Ohhhhh and we are also going to be bringing the grandkids for the Gooey Desert. read more

Amazing food and ambience!! They take reservations and also have a few seats for walk-in customers. I think they only take reservations for the seats next to the water view. Unfortunately we didn't get a reservation but got a decent seat right away when we walked in around 3 pm. The gold cheese bake dip is out of this world and something our server recommended. We also had the cookie dough gooey which was so huge, perfect for a family of 4 to share icecream but my husband enjoyed it all by himself! Ofcourse he regretted the 10k calories an hour later lol. Overall a great experience! The hotel is incredible as well read more

Great views of Lake Coeur d'Alene! Our friends brought us here for dessert on a beautiful fall weekend. They have a convenient parking garage that Dockside validates for - a great perk! We came by around 3 in the afternoon and they told us there would be a 20 min wait. After perusing the nearby shops and fish tank our turn was up. We were seated at a lovely booth at the back by the windows and they were able to lower the window shade so we weren't blinded by the light. Our server was nice but a bit oblivious. We all ordered desserts - a make your own cupcake for the kiddo in our party, a Reese's peanut butter cup gooey, a pb cake pop, and a huckleberry sorbet. Everyone else's dessert looked delectable but the huckleberry sorbet was put down on the table already half melted away. We didn't want to cause a problem and just ate the part that wasn't melted and called it a day. Our server didn't come back to check on us and it wasn't worth it to get up and carry the big gauntlet up to the front of the restaurant to complain about it. The rest of the experience was fine - note to servers: put in sorbet or ice cream orders last when a group orders multiple desserts! read more

Yesterday after a long drive we asked a friend where she would go for a good salad separate from salad bar and she suggested Dockside Restaurant in Coeur d Alene as she had never had bad food but had not been there for a year! The salad. I had chosen was the Strawberry blueberry nut salad with chicken! Boy was I enormously saddened by the brown 2 day old Lettuce, the 1/4 tsp of nuts, no strawberries and tiniest blueberries I've ever seen! To charge $20 for this salad was highway robbery! Now reading further today remarks the Dockside is gouging the public and living on old good reviews while their rating went down again to 3.5. My salad I left as I could not find fresh lettuce. It was nothing it looked like on menu! However I did eat the tiny 5 thin slices of chicken that cost extra with the salad! I was robbed of a good salad that no longer exists at Dockside! Expectations weee not met! They are relying totally on Ambiance and sooner than later their overcharged poor food is going to plunge their rating again. It did NOT even a 2 rate in my book! Don't let free parking fool you!! Go elsewhere for a good meal!! The salmon/broccoli meal at Applebees beats what I had at Dockside Restaurant!! Timi from state of Washington read more

Went here on New Year's day, really hungover and hungry. Service: Was doing nice at first, even though in the end its getting really hard to call them because they tend to walk through without paying attention to the other tables. They also rub me the wrong way by asking if I was "being a nice girl" by not getting the dessert. Like, uhmmm, am I not nice if I eat dessert? But maybe its just the way people joke around here, I don't know? Food: good varieties, less quality. I love, love, love all their varieties. Honey glazed pork, oysters, paella, omelette, a lot of varieties of bacon, potatoes, and french toast. They even have eggs Benedict too! Not to mention their desserts... LOTS, LOTS of them! They have crepes, (lots of) cakes, eclairs, french toasts, and many more. Ambience: I love the view. They put us on the table facing the dock area and I love how it has good view while sitting at a comfortable seat. I could stay there longer but we have to get going.. Price: For a buffet meal in a resort, I would say it is actually quite reasonable price especially with all the varieties of food they offered. I would like to come back here if I ever visit the resort again :) read more

Dockside is a great family friendly restaurant. Albeit, it is overpriced and the food is a bit underwhelming. The view is this restaurant's saving grace. We had great service today and our food and drinks were out to us quickly. The salad bar was great A lot of younger employees here- which is fine, this is a vacation area with a lot of staff here for seasonal jobs. The floors/tables/windows could really use touch up cleanings throughout the day as visitors come in. I'd recommend Dockside families looking for a comfortable lunch or dinner stop. They have a wonderful dessert menu and that seems to be their biggest hit. I don't think we would come here again- lots of other spots to try in CDA that might have more tasteful options for the price point. read more

We really enjoyed our latest visit to Dockside last Friday. We came in for a quick appetizer and a cocktail/mocktail. and had a great experience. Our spicy chicken wings were delicious and I loved my berry smash...although I may have the name on that wrong. It was a yummy mocktail with berries, lemon and mint. The service was excellent. Quincie and Delaney were both super friendly, and made sure that we had everything we needed right away. They were the perfect team! read more

I'm a local. 5 straight bad experiences. Steak came out raw. Baked potato was cold. They took it back and it was overcooked. Wait staff is wonderful. I'm not going back. The quality has gone downhill. I used to bring my out of town guests there several times a year. Embarrassing. One time manger offered to cover the what was equivalent to the tip. The biggest issue is food quality. I tried to love them again. . read more

Oh boy, I'm glad that when you are on vacation calories don't count. My family who is local demanded they take me to get a "Gooey", and on one hand I am so glad they did, and on the other the added poundage I gained is pissed. These desserts were amazing. Great for pictures and also great to eat, you can't go wrong here. Worth every penny! read more

I'm surprised this place doesn't have better reviews. My family came here for breakfast & we were so impressed! Seated right away, beautiful view, great menu, and yummy food! Can't wait to come back. It was reasonably priced as well. (Similar to Frank's diner in Spokane) I had the bananas foster French toast which was so good! I will say they need to up their coffee game.. it tasted bitter and the waitress refused to bring cream for 2 people said one was enough for the whole table (it wasn't) and I also wasn't given a spoon. Besides that weird experience it was wonderful. read more

The food was mediocre and my husband got food poisoning we were sick the rest of the evening. Such a shame because it's such a pretty view and resort. read more

We trustingly walked in to this place because it is located in the expensive resort. What a big mistake!! We ordered the grilled halibut tacos, New England styled clam chowder, and their deep dish Huckleberry cobbler. The tacos were down right bad, the fish did not have any grilled marks nor flavors, the taco shells tasted low quality. The chowder was nothing close to New England style, and I am 90 percent sure it came out of a can. The cobbler was huge in size, but the ingredients were low quality as well. To sum up, we had the worst meal here during our 4th of July trip. The food here is worst than any generic American chain restaurant. It is a shame that a expensive resort is comfortable serving this low quality of food to their customers. read more

Dockside - Huge but not good huckleberry cobbler - Salad Near Me - Coeur D Alene, Idaho

I've been coming to the CDA Resort since 1988. Have visited here at least one or twice a year. Something has changed at it is not for the better. Service at Dockside is non-existent. Tried to order biscuits and gravy but they ran out. Seriously? You ran out of biscuits and gravy the week before Christmas? Currently sitting in Dockside at 10am. Took us 30 minutes to get a table and 20 minutes before we saw our server. Restaurant is 70% empty. Arrival last night was crazy. The porters were missing and there was just chaos at the front door. I hope whatever has changed gets fixed and fast or Coeur deAlene is going to lose its crown jewel. read more

We had an absolutely amazing meal here. Everything was perfectly on point. Our server Omar was outstanding. My sister and I split the Steak Oscar with a side of shrimp- delicious. My daughter enjoyed one of their huge desserts. One was big enough for 4 to share. The view was great and booking on open table was so easy. We walked around the resort and boardwalk after dinner and the facilities here are gorgeous. read more

Joe was a great server and put up with our corny jokes. We got gooeys and wings. Good combo.

Allen is the best ever. + Ryan the bus boy. We request Allen to serve us every Sunday at Brunch & he never misses.

Five stars for the Cookie Monster gooey! Madison (bless her soul she's an angel and was so kind snd helpful) served us our personal sized gooey that came recommended from friends who grew up in the area. My husband and I split the personal size and it was PLENTY. I'd say personal size for 3 people and under and the normal size for 4+. Just my opinion! read more

Wonderful, the salad bar was amazing, the bread platter was excellent but the service was absolutely the best, our server Jayde was absolutely fantastic & amazing, the best place to eat a Gooey! Great place for a casual date or fancy date. Very relaxing environment read more

We come here strictly for the GOOEYS! Haha. I haven't tried their food but I can assure you their Gooeys are divine. So far I've tried the Cookie Monster Gooey, the strawberry cheesecake gooey and the butterfinger gooey! All are super good! It just depends what flavor you're in the mood for! Don't get scared by the giant size! They offer a personal size as well haha. The giant one is good if you're planning to share, I just never share my desserts. read more

Bit of an update we all ended up stuck in the restroom for 3 days. I didn't even leave the restaurant, as soon as I finished my plate I went straight to the bathroom and had to go again on the way back to Spokane. Just appalling. read more

Always a pleasure eating here. Breakfast lunch dinner or just for a mandatory Gooey that you have to have if your here. If you haven't had a dessert Gooey next time you here it's a must they also have seasonal ones. Had thanksgiving dinner here. Easiest Thanksgiving ever and the food was tasty to be sure. Super packed and most people booked weeks in advance. Our waiter was confused about our tickets for the buffet was trying to charge us even though we handed him our tickets?? The only items I should be on the bill was drinks. He was confused to say the least but finally reread our tickets and made it right. I haven't tried Sunday breakfast buffet here but when I do I'll post pictures ;) read more

The all you can eat salad Bar was fresh and delicious on chilled plates and a nice view of the lake!

I absolutely love Joey he is an amazing server, he is so nice and in general has a great attitude, the gooey and bread was amazing. If you have him he is literally the best. I will definitely come back and I hope he will be my server. If you are seeing this Joey, I hope you have a good rest of your night and keep up the great work!!! read more

Beautiful view. The food was less impressive. Calamari appetizer was barely even warm. Salad bar was nothing special. In fact, Mulligans is much better. The server was very nice. read more

You're here for the evening view. Otherwise food was ok but not up to what the price tag reflects. Tried the halibut tacos and a huckleberry mojito. Tacos were pretty awesome, drink was underwhelming and too sweet. I learned the gooeys are a Coeur D'Alene special and I tried the seasonal special honey pecan personal Gooey which was delicious but just an elaborate sundae. Definitely for more than one person. read more

Really bummed. We were looking forward to this dinner. Two of us had the Salmon Oscar, over cooked and cold. The crab as in low attendance, two small pieces. If I am going to have meal with Bearnaise Sauce I want that creamy herb taste, not bland sit on your tongue and be sad taste. Plus you want more then a teaspoon. Vegetables had potential, but were cold. My husband, a Mac and Cheese lover, was very disappointed in the Mac and Cheese, I tasted, the was being kind. We went through the salad bar. Mediocre. I cannot recommend this for anything other then the view. read more

Great food, exceptional service, lovely ambience with a beautiful view. Perfect for our Saturday lunch.

Great food- upscale but not stuffy. Went twice for birthdays, was in a large group and they were very accommodating. They were out of mashed potatoes one day which bummed me out but they offered a replacement. Another time we went out to dinner with kids and they seated us accordingly which was a big relief... this is going to sound sucky but it's been a while since I have been there and I just am now reviewing it so I don't exactly remember what I ate, I do remember that it was the best of whatever it was I had ha ha. I think it was actually meatloaf! read more

Anyone who remembers this Sunday brunch buffet from the past, be forewarned! This version is WAY scaled back and sub-par at best. Very few choices, most lukewarm, little fruit and few bread choices. It would have been much nicer had we ordered off the menu. They started picking up the breakfast food at 11am. Save your $$$. Better choices in other restaurants in C'DA. read more

We took friends who were visiting us to Dockside last weekend for breakfast (we are locals for over 50 years and dine out 3-4 times per week). While the remodel and decor looks so much better, the food is absolutely inedible. I ordered a bacon, avocado and cheese omelette with hashbrowns. My omelette had absolutely no bacon in it whatsoever and was served ice cold alongside burnt to a crisp hashbrowns that didn't even resemble potatoes. The server was lovely and offered to have the kitchen remake it for me. Second time it came out with bacon at least, but still cold and a few pieces of unmelted cheese, served again with burnt hashbrowns. At this point, our guests were finished eating (they both did enjoy their Caesar salad and burger) so I didn't even bother with eating my sad omelette. This was our second time at Dockside in the past month with bad food, so we will take it out of our rotation and just enjoy drinks at Whispers when we take out of town guests for a visit to the Resort. read more

The dockside restaurant is a great Lunch restaurant to go to. Nice views, Lunch selection is great and food is good. We decided to go last night for dinner, now that is a different story. We had prime rib and tri tip dinner. 1st- waiting for our dinner took a very long time, then was told a large party delayed service. Looked like a large group of High school kids maybe prom??? I'm not sure. Ok fine, but once the food arrived my plate was a joke, Potato was cold even the butter wouldn't melt, the potato was hard just like it had been sitting forever and skin like a prune. Veggie were like the smallest carrots and skinniest asparagus you can find. Wilted and terrible. My husband's tri tip was supposed to be medium rare, more like medium to well. His mashed potatoes with mushy and dense, must be the cheese they used.... Baked potato came with only butter, you have to pay extra for sour cream and chives! Only positive thing was a good salad bar. I will needless to say never go there for dinner ever again. Bill was around 140 this was with two soft drinks and 3 meals. Very disappointed. read more

Dockside is a must at some point if you stay at the resort. I recommend breakfast, only because there is Beverly's for dinner & many other fun options downtown.

I'll begin by stating at the outset that I believe Hagadone food service is not good. Sometimes the food is good, usually mediocre, and ALWAYS overpriced. Service can also vary, but is usually at least good. So, on a Thursday night we came in with a large group who were here from around the country for a funeral. We had reservations for 12 for some time, so this was not a surprise visit and should have been planned for. When we were seated, we were put at two adjacent tables that separated our group in half, and made discussions between the two tables impossible. Apparently there were two large groups ahead of us, and no additional seating was available. Then as we began looking at our menus, one of those groups left. We asked the manager if we could be moved, and he kindly and professionally did so. Thanks Buddy. Now, I don't know why three large groups were booked so close together, or if a large walk in group was seated, but this seems like a logistical screw up to me. Then, we were assigned a single waitress. She was clearly overwhelmed but worked her ass off all night long, so this negative complaint is NOT on her. At all. I *do* love the Hagadone salad bars, so they get thumbs up for that, at least. Minus all the plates that were VERY warm, stacked in the cooler. Maybe it's just me, but warm salad plates are a pet peeve. Anyhow, after 70 minutes our food finally came out and at least half the meals were cold. One of the staff tried to say the hold up was for one well done steak, and that was a bullshit lie. Not sure what held things up, but it wasn't one steak. I don't know why people weren't served as food came out and why dinner was apparently held back until they were all done. We specifically said food did NOT need to be staged. Regardless, waiting that long for cold food for a dinner that was planned well in advance was simply unprofessional. In the end, the same manager who had moved our party to the large party seemed to do the best he could to resolve things. Unfortunately our dinner was pretty much ruined, several people were grossed out by cold food, and everyone was generally unhappy. Several comps and discounts were given to soften the blow, but dinner was definitely ruined. Here are my takeaways: (1) if you don't have the ability to properly serve large groups, don't book them. (2) if you do book large groups, do so in a manner that does so efficiently with proper staffing. If a large group walks in without a reservation, you MUST turn them away. (Not certain this actually happened, but it would explain many things if it did.) (3) listen, discounts and comps are appreciated when things go sideways, but you do have to understand that comps don't fix a ruined event, especially one of this nature. (4) don't even suggest that we were somehow in error bringing in a large party. We booked other meals at other restaurants, even dropped in on one without a reservation, and were taken care of professionally each time. So... I have personally never been a fan of dockside (minus brunch and breakfasts which have been uniformly excellent) and will likely not return for dinner. While the service was good, cold food isn't ok, waiting over an hour isn't ok, and as usual everything on the menu is overpriced. It wasn't my choice to eat there, in fact I was pretty vocally opposed to eating there... I guess if anything good happened, it was making me look like a genius. Sorry Dockside, but this was an EPIC fail. read more

Great place for a nice bite while you're in CDA! I love the view you have while dining here. I've been here for lunch before which has been great but today was just for gooeys.
