It was a bit tricky to find the entrance as there is no sign, but it's located on the south end of the Best Western. The Crawfish & Corn Chowder was very good. But I was disappointed in the Blackened Steelhead Salmon Sandwich. First off, the plates were fresh out of the dishwasher & very hot! Not just warm, literally HOT! The salmon itself was a HUGE thick piece, approximately 7-9oz and was actually very good and perfectly cooked. But the sourdough bread was more like dried out than toasted (no browning at all) & the 2 slices of tomato weren't cored and very underripe. Also, no red onion as stated on the menu and very little aioli. I asked for lettuce on the side (expecting a leaf of lettuce), but it was finely shredded in a little bowl & very wilted from the hot plate. Overall, the sandwich was surprisingly bland and very dry. I took it apart and only ate the salmon. Side of pea salad was just okay too. While the staff was friendly, they loudly called across the restaurant to each other. Very unprofessional...probably won't return. So disappointed because the menu looked so promising! Too many other great places to try in Sandpoint. read more

Came here for dinner with friends. Didn't think much of it initially since it is located in the Best Western but I was pleasantly surprised. They ran out of prime rib the night I came so I ended up ordering the trout and corn and crawfish chowder. The chowder had great flavor but I didn't see any crawfish in it. The trout was cooked well and tasted good. It had a big piece of fish, very large pieces of broccolini and a tiny portion of rice. Multiple people on our table ordered trout and it seemed as if they began to run out of rice bc the portions seems to get smaller the more plates they brought out. Another friend got the scallops and a different friend got lamb. They said they enjoyed their food and it was all cooked nicely. For dessert, one friend got the sticky pudding and another got tiramisu. Both were large portions and more than enough to share. Service overall was good and we all enjoyed our food. read more

We went here while in Sandpoint for a bachelorette party. We had a pretty large group and although we got sat right away, the service was very slow. They didn't have enough menus for all of us - so, we had to pass the two they had around. Not a huge deal, we had to wait long enough to order that they almost made it around the table. The service was also a little awkward - a couple different people came by and kept telling us to go visit a particular bar, which, I guess the owner is also the owner of? It just felt really pushy. The location is fantastic! It's right on the water, so if you're lucky enough to visit on a nice day and get a seat outside you will certainly enjoy it! The food wasn't bad. We ordered the crab cakes and calamari to start. The crab cakes were good, but the calamari was flavorless. If it weren't the dipping sauce and being so hungry - I don't think I could have eaten them. For my entree, I got the chicken It had nice flavor - wasn't the flavor I expected, but it still tasted good. I think if I'm in Sandpoint again I'll try something new, but I wouldn't be opposed to trying this again someday. read more

This place is always a hit. Consistently good service with fantastic food and drinks. They are family friendly, especially in the summer when your kids can run on the grass and beach outside. The kid's menu does suck. Wish they would offer fruit/veggies/salad as a side. And add some veggies/condiments on the burgers/quesadillas/etc. The adult menu is good - super delicious salads (the best!), tasty sandwiches, and other things like fish n chips. We've never had bad adult food here. Their bar is also on point, with a good selection of beer/wine/cocktails *Updated to say the kids menu is still boring/unhealthy (typical restaurant kid food), though they have apple slices as a side option now. And their sweet potato fries are significantly better than the normal fries. Some of our favorite meals are the Blackened Chicken & Brie salad, the Pecan Crusted Chicken salad, and the Ahi salad. And my favorite drink from there is a Bloody Mary. read more

Trinity just extended their hours to include lunch and dinner during the COVID pandemic. They have done a nice job eliminating tables to give very good spacing and they have done a nice job of cleaning tables between guests. They also have deck seating with overhead heaters. On our visit today it was relatively slow, so attention at the table was very good. It always is anyway. The food was outstanding, as usual. The French Dip and Cajun Mac&Cheese were the meals of choice and both were outstanding. The sweet potato fries that my wife ordered with her French Dip were also amazing. A plate of those would serve as a great appetizer by themselves. We finished off the meal with a single tiramisu, which is our long standing favorite here. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

My mom wanted to eat here for her birthday. I wondered why she'd pick a restaurant attached to a Best Western. After eating here, now I know why. We started our celebration in the bar, where Lance whipped up delicious lemon drop cocktails. We had one regular and another with huckleberry vodka. While I liked both, the huckleberry one was exceptional (and could probably lead to a massive hangover because they're so easy to drink). For dinner, everyone in our party ordered the corn and crawfish chowder. I love chowder, and this is some of the best I've ever tasted. Order a bowl because a cup is not enough. For dinner, I ordered the lobster ravioli which was the perfect amount of pasta, lobster and sauce. My mom got the crab cakes. My stepdad ordered the scallops. We all loved our entrees. For desert we got the blueberry crisp, which IMO would've been better with more blueberries instead of the lemon layer at the bottom. It's still good, but not the best. Our server Matt went above and beyond. He was patient as we were the last party to leave the restaurant and never rushed us. He also had great hair. The only downside to my visit came the next morning, when packing up the car. After loading up all my snowboard gear, I made one last trip inside to get my leftovers, only to realize I locked my keys in the car. Then an hour later after AAA arrived and I'd started my drive home, I realized I forgot my leftovers. So looks like I'll have to come back again! read more

My mother and I went out for a quick meal at Trinity. No appetizer, no salad, just an entrée for each of us. I had the grouper with broccolini and rice pilaf, and my mother had the salmon risotto. My grouper was very good. It had a pat of lemon butter on top. Grouper is a meaty white fish. It had a breading and was sautéed. The broccolini was cooked perfectly, and the rice pilaf had a lot of flavor. I think the dish was a tad bit expensive, but it was good. My mother had salmon risotto. The risotto was flavorful but I think the risotto didn't quite soak up all the liquid and was just a tad soupy, but it did have lots of flavor. There was a nice big, perfectly cooked piece of salmon on top of the risotto, which was delicious. Our male server was very friendly and excellent. It was a busy Sunday evening but the meal came out promptly and we had no complaints. This interior REALLY needs some tender loving care. It would just require some elbow grease and very little money to clean, paint and spruce the place up with some imaginative decorating. A world of difference could be had in just a few days of work. read more

I'm surprised that this place didn't have a line of people waiting to be seated! It's waterfront with ample parking, nice, attentive servers and a good variety of food and beverages. We had their crawfish chowder first. We'd describe it as a southwest style broth, a little spicy, great taste with plenty of corn and crawfish. I enjoyed the tortelloni and hubby enjoyed his prime rib dip with white cheddar because he asked for that instead of whatever cheese comes standard. Their huckleberry lemonade was great! The desserts are not made in-house but I took a slice of cheesecake to go anyway. read more

We ate here twice on our four day vacay, and tried to eat here a third day but it was closed. It's quickly become our favorite Sandpoint stop, because it's right off the water with solid food and drinks. This most recent trip we brought our kids and they had a great variety on the kids menu and a patio where we could watch them playing in the grass. I wasn't in love with the Lions Mane mushroom burger I got because it came as a few seasoned mushrooms on a bun with runny slaw, but I've loved everything else I've gotten: fish and chips, Greek salad, ahi salad, clams, calamari, burgers... we eat here quite a bit.. :) The service is also kind and quick, as we threw sporadic orders at them-- everything came out hot and fast! read more

The entree food (pork tenderloin) was not a tenderloin, it was pork pieces & not as the menu described. The scallops were cooked well but the food was bland with no flavor. We had an appetizer too and found no menu item we ordered with flavor. We will NOT be back. The service was fine. The seating area was clean. read more

Trinity At City Beach - View from our table! - American Near Me - Sandpoint, Idaho

Food quality / price (value) rating 9. The atmosphere is upscale, but casual, lakeside dining, and every table has a view of the lake. I had the Chicken Florentine Alfredo, which had a wonderful cream Alfredo sauce that was topped with a generous amount of fresh grated parmesan cheese. The penne pasta was cooked al dente, as it should be. The wife had the Pasta Primavera, which had a very flavorful and spicy sauce, and the penne was also prepared wonderfully. Service was very good. They offer live entertainment five nights a week, and have a Happy Hour daily. The evening we were there they had a violinist and guitarist/vocalist. There is a large outdoor seating area overlooking the beach, and a large lounge/bar area. The restaurant is part of the Best Western Hotel building, but the entrance is not identified well. The building is part of the "City Beach Park" area downtown. We ate at six different restaurants in Sandpoint / Ponderay while visiting, and Trinity was the best!Reservations should be made well in advance to get seated around six o'clock, as the place fills up quickly at prime dinner hours. read more

Food tasted really good! That's not the issue. It's portion size and cost. Sat in the lounge area. Asked to sit outside was told thirty minute wait. Literally less than five minutes later a table of four come in right after us, and they're told there's a table available outside immediately. Ordered off the lounge menu. Husband ordered the mahi mahi tacos. He swears it was three tacos last time we ate there, it's now two. Fish in the tacos is minimal. Two tacos $16! With nothing else! I ordered the ahi salad at 16.95. It had maybe six paper thin slices of ahi. Again, tasted excellent but not worth 16.95. We're locals and we won't be eating at Trinity again. So bummed. read more

Staying at the Best Western Edgewater Resort and RV park, of course we had to try the on-site restaurant, Trinity at City Beach. We were visiting just as the coronavirus was easing up a bit, and so this review reflects those conditions. Walking into the restaurant, we were greeted by a nice hostess, and a table at the front with several bottles of spray hand sanitizer available. All staff was wearing masks, they were wiping down tables and chairs after each guest, and we felt very safe. We opted to sit on the outdoor patio, where they had removed half of their tables. The view is really nice to the marina in the lake, and it was evening so the sun was in the process of setting. I ordered a glass of rose, and my husband ordered a cocktail, and it was so nice to be sitting outside actually dining amongst other people! We ordered side dinner salads which were very nice, overflowing in a bowl with a generous portion. The soy ginger vinaigrette dressing on mine was very very good. The special was trout with some kind of sauce with rice and vegetables on the side. I enjoyed it, but I believe that it might have sat a little while under a warmer and the sauce was just a little bit gloppy. It was also kind of rich, and I would've preferred a little bit lighter sauce to complement the light fish. Still it was good and I ate it all. My husband got the filet mignon with potatoes and broccolini. He said it was good, but it was a little overcooked for his medium taste. Still it was a good enough experience to where we wanted to come back and try them another time. Our second visit, we opted to sit in the bar as they were allowing patrons to sit at the bar with 6 feet of space between parties. I ordered Warm Spinach Salad and added grilled salmon - really good, and the bacon dressing was just the right hint of sweetness but not too sweet. My husband got the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli which he said was very good as well, comfort food swimming in a creamy sauce. A couple of cocktails later - voila! Nice evening. read more

Our experience meeting Orange Girl: There are many colors in the rainbow.. but it just had to be Orange didn't it. She said it with the intensity of the sun, Orange was her favorite color. At first we didn't quite take her for an Orange kinda girl. As complimented by the beauty of her eyes we figured she'd be a green girl, maybe a purple charm, but she blue us out of the water. -Soul 1 Orange doesn't even rhyme with anything. Anyways, food was delicious, place was clean and staff was friendly. -Soul 2 read more

Rave: The service was incredible. Very good wine selection. Sat outside with a killer view of city beach. The rolls were delish. Ordered clams which were marinated in a divine sauce heaven sent! Rant: The poutine and Ahi salad ordered were mediocre at best. Needs some work. The Ahi wasn't fresh and the gravy cheese curd to fry ratio needs improvement. Way more fries than gravy or cheese curds to cover them. Conclusion: Would revisit again and recommend. read more

We enjoyed a very wonderful evening dinner on the outdoor patio of this fine restaurant. I had the Halibut stuffed with crab and Brie which was amazing. My wife had the rack of lamb or as our waitress called it lamb lollipops. It also was amazing. Atmosphere was the best and our waitress Nevaeh what's very special. Sad to see that the restaurant will be closing in about a week because they're tearing the building down but we will hopefully see you guys at 113 Main next time. read more

Amazing location and incredible food and five star service!! Go to Trinity and sit outside (we made a reservation for 4:30 as we wanted to eat early). We got an excellent table by the lawn with a lake view. They all have a lake views tho :) Our server Matt was so great and made great suggestions on the menu and we ordered the calamari appetizer. I ordered the steak salad and he made a great recommendation of a bottle of cab wine for the table. They had live music on the lawn and it was such a great night! Highly recommend if you want to go out and want to feel safe and know that they take your health and safety 100% of importance. read more

Worst.$75.Dinner.Ever. Don't.Bother. Flies in the dining room. Decor is outdated. Food was cold or lukewarm. Service was mechanical. Absolutely no original tastes or strong flavors. All advertising neglected to say it was in a best western. We passed up on some good looking locally owned restaurants to try this dump of a restaurant, might never make the trip up to Sandpoint again because of this one restaurant. The saving grace was Mick Duffs for excellent beers afterwards, we saw some good looking pub grub that looked better even though we were stuffed with horrible food... need I write on, where is our refund??? read more

The restaurant came highly recommended by a local shop owner whose establishment was only 2 blocks away. We asked for recommendations and his immediately recommended Trinity. Seating on the balcony afforded an excellent view of the lake and he stated their chowder was excellent with large bites of potato and crawdad. We arrived and checked with the hostess about seating on the balcony. She said it was available. We then inquired about the bees as it was August and the bees were beginning to become more of a pest than normal. Her reply was "I don't have any control over the bees!" The party of 4 chose seating inside. We were seeking a break from shopping and wanted something to eat. Taking the aforementioned shop owners recommendation the 4 of us ordered 3 bowls of the chowder and 1 ordered of the "Fish & Chips". That was the last we saw of the waitress until she brought the bill! The chowder had no "bites" of potato or crawdad, and was very spicy!! It was so spicy that I was unable to finish it and I do like spicy foods!! The waitress never checked on how the food was, did we need more drinks or was there anything else we would like!! I did observe her checking with other tables!! I must say that overall the waitress, her attention to us and the food was a "solid 1 star" dining experience!! If you want mediocre food and pathetic service, the Trinity will meet your dining expectations but there is not chance it will exceed them!! read more
