1 of the greatest places you can get fresh fish in downtown Sandpoint! Absolutely love being part of the family here... In Hawaii that's Ohana... Whether you work here or are you dying here you're treated like royalty and that feels nice read more

This place was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. It wasn't because of the portions or menu (which were spot on), but rather the great atmosphere and laid-back vibe. The food transported me straight back to the Big Island. The owner and staff were a fantastic group--very attentive and friendly. The menu was small, but that's a positive in my book. My wife's special, the long crock, was a huge hit. The Spam musubi and crab cakes were perfectly paired with the sauces. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to this amazing place and savoring more of their incredibly delicious food. You won't be disappointed--check it out! read more

Wow!! This place is a must visit. HIGHLY recommend!! We visited first time yesterday and loved it. The owner is super cool and very friendly!! The vibe is chill - great music, really good feel in the place. The view over the water gorgeous. And the food was absolutely DELICIOUS !!!! We had the crab cakes as a starter - some of the best I've ever had (his house spicy sauce with those cakes -- OMG I'm still dreaming about it and really wish I could have gotten the recipe outta him )! Hubby and I both had the POKE! Best I've ever had - hands down THE BEST!! Thank you SUNSHINE ON CEDAR we'll be back. read more

Best Poke in north Idaho. Owner is working on a new poke salad dish too. Always friendly service and some nice wine options & beer.

Friendly service (ohana) and the best Loco Moco in town. And if the view figures into your dining experience, this is the place.

Love love love this place. Highly recommend. I believe Kylie and her husband might own it? I never actually asked, but I love the atmosphere, I love the detail of the wine and food she recommended. Highly attentive and kind. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We will be back! read more

There is a rotating menu with delicious homemade soups, poke, teriyaki chicken, charcuterie boards, and more. We enjoy meeting friends there and chatting with the friefriendly owners. The vibe is relaxing and fun. The views of Sand Creek and the mountains are beautiful! Occasionally there is live music too. It is on the second floor on the Cedar Street Bridge, and there is an elevator for easy access with strollers, etc. The prices are very reasonable and Damon only stocks great wines. read more

Came in here for a quick lunch while running lots of errands. I sat at the bar and talked to the owner/bartender/waiter. Super friendly and personable. I decided on an orange mimosa (they have 3 different flavors), and Spam Musubi. I have always enjoyed Spam, so this was a new way for me to enjoy it. It was perfectly cooked with a slight crispiness, on rice and wrapped in seaweed. The slices were the right size for dipping in a sauce- he suggested mixing a little soy sauce with Sambal. Yummmm!! There was a side of some Edamame as well. The mimosa was a nice compliment. The windows overlook Sand Creek and let in the perfect amount of sunshine, even in the winter. The decor is Hawaiian themed, the owners are originally from Hawaii, and they even have an area where you can take selfies with different accessories. Lunch was $10 - Wow. A great price for great food and service. Definitely coming back to try other deliciousness. Nice to have this unique gem in our town. read more

Sunshine On Cedar - Spam Musubi with Edamame - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Sandpoint, Idaho

Everything about this place is amazing... Damon is such a great host and gave us that aloha feeling every time we came (which was 3 days in a row during a 1-week visit). Love the music selection (90's rock and alternative, then some local Hawaii jams) and the decor (very Hawaii). If you've never been to Hawaii, this is as close as you can get in northern Idaho, or maybe the entire northwest! The musubis are as good as my wife's and I'm so glad we came for Saimin Saturday as it was well worth the wait! Highly recommend coming Saturday if you can only make it for one day a week. Mahalo for everything, Sunshine! Aloha! read more

Oh my gosh this place is a 10 out of 10! The vibe is great, the location can't be beat and the food is freaking amazing! Not to mention Damon, his wife and kiddos are SO welcoming and definitely brought the aloha feeling. I can't say enough good things about this place. Good selection of wines and they are not skimpy on the pours! And if you enjoy adding umami and a little heat to your food you absolutely MUST try the Sunshine Sauce (which they sell by the jar!). I was there 6 days ago and I've already used up half of the sauce because it is simply just that good. Chefs kiss all the way around for this place. Don't think about it, just GO!!!! read more

Absolutely wonderful staff, ambience, view, and food. Thank you for bringing a bit of the Islands to Sandpoint!

Great little spot inside the Cedar Street bridge, upstairs. Wine options are very good. But the best thing that you must try is the sauce that comes with the edamame. I'm guessing at the ingredients, but chilis, soy, peanut butter maybe? It is so delicious. And the owners are super nice! read more
