    What a great place and fantastic vibe!! Was looking for a cold drink and a small appetizer. We…read morewalked in and sat at the bar. We were both warmly greeted right away and offered that cold drink we were both seeking. Our bartender, Slade, was very friendly and brought us warm foccacia bread with drizzled huckleberry sauce on it. We ordered the steak satay which was wonderfully marinated and soft enough to melt in your mouth - delicious. The foccaia bread was worth the trip alone. Slade was being assisted by Selene, behind the bar, who must have overheard us talking about taking the Foccacia bread home and immediately went into action preparing it for travel with a little extra huckleberry sauce for the road. Fabulous place, great surroundings and friendly staff - all around a great place to go.

    Greeted IMMEDIATELY by a waiter who spotted us when we first walked in (& hostess was busy) which…read morewe really appreciated. Hostess then arrived and got us seated right away despite it being a bustling night. GREAT ambience - lively but not loud - no need to raise voice to talk with your party. Server came out promptly and took great care of us. My sister got the Jasmine and it was as great tasting as it was beautiful - tart, so if you like tart drinks get it and don't think twice. The Focaccia Bread WITH the steamer clams was a great appetizer (soak the bread in the tomato juice!) and the entrees were SO GOOD. The Chilean Sea Bass was PERFECTLY cooked and was up there in the best we've ever had. The pesto gnocchi + squash it rested on was delightful and the perfect combination. The Peruvian Chicken was ALSO perfectly cooked and its sauce was to die for. The potatoes that went along with were salted just right. Great great great, highly recommend whether you're having dinner or going to the bar with a friend for a LIVELY kind of experience

    My 73rd birthday was yesterday, and I was asked where I would like to go out for dinner. There are…read morevery few places to enjoy out for a nice steak dinner here in Sandpoint anymore, but I have always like The Hydra. So, I chose to come here. I have been here several times and usually have the seafood fettuccini, but this time I went for the prime rib. It was, without a doubt, the best I have ever had. I used to own a restaurant in Montana and served prime rib every Saturday night as a special, and people loved it! But this one beat even my own. The portion size with the fresh green beans and nice sized baked potato was great, and my medium rare prime rib was cooked to perfection. Out server Kay, was very attentive to everything we could have wanted. It was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had. We don't go out to eat very often, as the cost is so high anymore and not many places are even open in the evenings for dinner around here. So, thank you Hydra and Kay, for a great birthday evening dinner out.

    We love this place! We visit our friends in spirit lake every year and we get on their pontoon boat…read moreand come to Sandpoint to Hydra for our annual "dinner cruise". I'll take this over anywhere else we've eaten there. Great food great service. The beef is expensive but worth it (beef is high in general so it's not limited to this).
