Food was great! The salmon could not have been cooked more to perfection. Our waitress (I wish I would have gotten her name) was very attentive and remembered everything. This restaurant is on the water so you get a beautiful view. Don't let the prices scare you away. The food, service and ambiance more than make it worth it read more

This is the second time we have eaten here and it's off the hook good. The service by Morgan was excellent. Place is clean and well taken care of. You can start off with a salad bar that is fresh and has a ton of variety. Great blue cheese dressing. I had the halibut which was fantastic. Risotto was creamy and tasty. Asparagus was cooked perfectly. My wife and her friend had the prime rib which both enjoyed. Cooked perfectly. Our other friend had the Sea scallops which were very good. I tried one! It was nice sitting by the window watching the boats and paddleboarders. Really enjoyable experience. read more

Love this place! Great views! Great food and love the place. Wait staff is excellent!

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. read more

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! read more

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:) read more

Our dinner experience was awesome! First, they were able to accommodate our reservation change on the day of our dinner. "No problem, come to the restaurant and we'll get you seated as soon as possible ". They did just that and that was great! Second, all of the food was delicious and the table service was perfect. Rueben was good with the halibut recommendation. It's was prepared perfectly! The salad bar was fresh and the desserts were a great way to top off our meal. Would highly recommend this place! read more

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. read more

My wife and I love this restaurant for its location, beauty, the service and the food.

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. read more

Three of us went out for a special pre-Christmas dinner at Cedars floating restaurant in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. The weather was chilly however cedars was very warm and inviting. Lots of Christmas lights, and a beautiful decorated tree inside made the evening special. The water from Lake Coeur d'Alene was very high this time of year and we could see it flowing quickly outside our window. The food was excellent! We had two appetizers: fried asparagus with blue cheese, crumbles and deep fried shrimp with the most amazing sweet hot sauce I had the fried chicken on a bed of mashed potatoes, corn, and squash. It was so savory, we did not leave anything on the plate. The Manhattan cocktail was made with expertise, and the waiter was very charming, prompt and eligible about the menu. Would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

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. read more

Just had a terrible experience here. We come here every year from out of town for our anniversary. This year was a big one, our ten year!! And this time we brought friends and hyped Cedars up- big time. Unfortunately our experience was not good. We waited 30+ minutes just to get it our order taken. When we did get our food, Our friends steak was way over, when we talked to the waitress about it- she went and got her phone and shone her flashlight on it- it was still overdone for his liking and his request, and she was very argumentative about it saying it was just the lighting. He didnt est the steak due to being way too over. My seafood risotto was cold- like sat in the refrigerator cold. Same with our friends, and shrimp was extremely overcooked. And to top it off, my husband was eating a bite of his Alfredo and pulled a hair out of his bite. We weren't going to say anything but after all of these things together we felt like we had to say something. Our resolution was not great either a few dollars off my risotto and NOTHING for my husband biting into pasta with hair in it?! Terrible. I get bad nights happen, however after an accumulation of things and arguing with us when it was enough up to our waitress- we were extremely disappointed, and honestly probably will not go back. It's not like we went to Red Robin and spent $50 on dinner, with a $250+ tab to not have anything at least close to great is crazy. I would no longer recommend this restaurant to anyone unfortunately. read more

The food was so great. Fine dining casually. They had prime rib I had the chicken Alfredo everything was cooked to perfection. Our server was on the ball. The ambiance was beautiful. Sitting by the windows while we ate was beautiful. The lake was ruff and tons of boats in and out to watch. It was a great time. Thank you. 3 of us ate for 115+ a 20 tip. We will be back. Next time we will just bring the boat. No need to drive a car you can bring your boat. read more

We were a party of 4. I felt the wait was too long from the seating until the ordering. Then between the salad and the meal. (The blue cheese dressing was watered down and thin). The salad bar was just ok. I ordered a filet. When the main corse came mine came with a sirloin. VERY different cuts of meat! The waiter offered to get me a new steak and said it would take about 15 minutes to remake my meal. Because it was so late, I was going to just keep what they brought. As I started to cut into it, it was mostly fat. So I agreed to wait for a filet steak. He took my entire plate. I asked if he would at least leave my potato, so I had something to eat (with the rest of the table). By the time my new meal came, everyone else was totally finished and the table had been cleared. So now everyone had to wait for me to eat my meal. I think they should have comped the meal or offered a discount of some sort. But they did not. Everyone else's meal was "good - ok". We wouldn't eat here again. For the cost, I expect better. read more

Wonderful describes our dinner for 2. We did have to wait about 10 minutes past our reservation time to be seated, so not too excessive. Pleasant view of the wait staff running around and customers coming and going. We were seated by a window at a table for 4, so plenty of room to be comfortable. Waters came out quickly, followed by our waiter Danny taking drink and hors d'oeuvres orders. First the salad bar. Plates were kept in a cold cabinet and everything looked fresh. Lettuce, mixed greens, sliced cukes, tomatoes, beets, sliced black olives, shredded carrots, etc. About 13 items in all, plus sliced hard boiled eggs, Asian noodles, cheeses, seeds and croutons. There was also a choice of salad dressings including my favorite 1000 Island. For a starter, I chose the 1lb. clams. They were ample in number and served in butter, onions and garlic with a dash of red pepper flakes. Just enough heat for taste without overpowering it. My wife enjoyed the seafood risotto as I did the with my prime rib. I had asked for our dishes to not have salt added where possible, and that's exactly how it was served. The asparagus was steamed and the baked potato was buttered only. Exactly how I wanted it. The prime rib was served an excellent med-rare and was full of flavor. Thank you Danny and the BOH staff for going the extra mile with the prep. read more

Ate at the bar. Great service and excellent food. A little pricey but the atmosphere was worth it!

Can't say enough about the service here. I apparently screwed up and didn't get the reservation scheduled here for my girlfriend's birthday. After a bit of confusion, they got us seated at a nice window table. Wait staff and food were both excellent. We're already talking about our next visit. read more

Both Service and dinner were exceptional! We love overlooking the lake and watching the wildlife and boats while eating. My husband and I enjoyed the salmon and my friends got the halibet and jerk shrimp. I was too full to try theirs but they said they were delicious. The dinner rolls are excellent too! We also really like the salad bar. The highlight of our meal was the Mile High Mud Pie! read more

Rudest staff ever. Completely unprofessional. You want to spend $100.00 a person and feel like youbare an inconvenience to them, definitely the place. Great view, that's what gets you. The only nice person we dealt with was the busser. Don't bother. Food description way better than the food. read more

Every single thing went well at this restaurant. Their staff are unbelievably friendly and helpful. I rarely dine out because I have celiac disease and cross contamination in restaurants. Send me to bed for about a week. Server was very understanding and very kind went back and asked the chef questions came out and assured me they would take special care and they did they treated me like a queen. I am so impressed with the city of Coeur d'Alene and I am so impressed with this restaurant. We will definitely be coming here again. read more

Food 3 star. The "amazing" salad bar is what you'd expect at any pizza joint. The staff were extremely attentive almost to the point of rushing you out even at a 3:30 Monday early-bird special. Based potato just comes with butter. The medium meat was well done. Anyway. Kinda cool it was floating and slightly creaking but after early bird it's way over priced imho. Ambiance nice kinda like a ship. They advertise it at the huge hotel in CDA which is odd. The two big owners seem 2 own the city which is kinda sad. If those two money hungry guys keep it up, all charm will be lost. They've already ruined the downtown look with that monster prison looking hotel. read more

This place is resort owned and crap food made by part time seasonal employees who are fired by Labor Day . No pride taken in anything just buts in the seats garbage over priced over cooked food w canned salad bar .

OLD SCHOOL!! Love this place. It's been around forever and hasn't changed a bit. Salad bar is crisp with all the same offerings as 10+ years ago. Food is OK, but the mere nostalgia keeps me coming back. Service is always great here. AND I love any restaurant I can get to by boat on the lake. read more

The food and service was fantastic! We loved our waitress, Lindsey who made our evening extra special.

Cute little spot. The drinks were amazing. They had a smore martini that was great!! The steak i got on the other hand was not so great. Just was not flavorful. I might opt in for the baked potato instead of mashed next time. read more

So good. The service is great and the food is delicious. Can't beat the setting sitting on our beautiful lake! read more

It's was my 65th birthday and we've never tried Cedars, so we wanted to give it a try. I was in the mood for prime rib and Cedars is known for its prime rib. It was cooked perfectly and so tender. Honestly one of the best prime ribs I've ever had. Even the baked potato, asparagus and huckleberry ice cream were all excellent. Our server, Kayla recommended the scallops, so that's what my wife ordered and love it. She loved it so much she wanted to come back next week. We already made reservations for Mother's Day, so you can probably tell the food was divine, service was top notch and the view unparalleled. read more
