    Martini outside on a beautiful day. Come on.

    Well worth the drive around the lake to this floating restaurant amongst the boats at the Hope Marina. Party of 2, here for an early dinner so the sun was in great position for most everyone to be sitting outside under the shade umbrellas. Beautiful day and view of the water. The backside of the restaurant is basically completely open with big glass doors so even if you are seated inside, you're still outside. The bar is also open to the outdoor seating. Our server, Corrine, was friendly and attentive. We started with an absolutely outstanding Baja Shrimp Cocktail appetizer with in-house made guacamole & chili poached shrimp. Divine. I had a Mama's Fresca vodka splash and Hubs had the Huckleberry Lemonade cocktail, both perfect for enjoying the sunny day. Good mix of families, couples, and big groups. Sticking to the seafood theme, my Sesame Ahi was savory & Hubs raved about the Honey Citrus Steelhead. Varied menu. Great place, would most definitely return when in the area!

    The food was alright - we had the calamari and baha shrimp cocktail. The calamari was OK, not as crispy as I wanted. The shrimp cocktail was good - the guacamole that it was served on was delicious. My partner and I split the jalapeño burger and fries - it kept as stuffed throughout the day! The place is like a "boat club" and it was clean.

    Location is epic, the food was very good and the cocktails are top notch. Honestly the pic doesn't do it justice, the meatloaf was the best we've ever had. So delicious. Make a reservation they book up.

    Grilled Ribeye with compound butter and smashed potatoes.  This was an evening special feature.

    The only reason I have rated the experience a 5-star is I cannot rate it 10+ stars! We just returned from dining at The Float House. In my humble opinion, we had the most spectacular restaurant dinner we've enjoyed in a very long time. My cousins live in North Idaho and we're visiting. They picked the restaurant as it is one of their favorites. Back home in Columbus, OH, I'm known as a fairly decent cook, but first and foremost I'm a foodie when we travel. Life is too short to have a mediocre meal!! The food prepared by Eddie and the staff in his kitchen thoroughly impressed me. So let me tell you about the experience. The ambiance at The Float House is fabulous. We dined outside on a lovely late spring evening. Danielle was our lovely server and did a good job answering our questions and making suggestions. Her service was excellent and she checked on us from time to time to see how we were doing. Audrey is a doll and she seated us and later took our photo outside the restaurant. Now for the food...we started out with the calamari which was delicious. No mini squids and rings, these are meaty calamari fingers! The sauce was delicious. We also had a rosemary buttered baguette with garlic, accompanied by whipped bleu cheese, incredible smoked onion jam and pickled tomatoes. Throw carb counting to the wind and order it!! My husband loves pork and the grilled pork ribeye dish topped with a corn relish and served with green beans and smashed potatoes was perfect for him. The smashed potatoes are absolutely delicious. My cousins chose the blackened salmon salad and a nightly special of rib eye steak and smashed potatoes. She didn't choose to have green beans as she cannot eat legumes. I had the other nightly special of Ling Cod with garlic scape pesto, lemon beurre blanc, pickled tomatoes and scallion rice and perfectly prepared green beans. OMG!!! It was incredible and I am not exaggerating!! We enjoyed the "adult" version of Huckleberry Lemonade with Tito vodka. Dessert was creme brulee and a blueberry crumble with vanilla ice cream. We may not be back this way soon, but if ever we are, we are definitely going to dine at the Float House. Good job Eddie and the staff of the restaurant. (I took photos but unfortunately Google is giving me trouble and won't let me post them. I'll try later when I figure out what is going on with that!

    We enjoyed an amazing Sunset evening dinner at this floating restaurant on Pend Oreille Lake in Hope yesterday. I enjoyed the steelhead salmon in my wife loved the steak. Atmosphere is amazing and the sunset over the lake was spectacular, but very very peaceful and enjoyable place to have a romantic dinner. Maybe someday we will come here by boat

    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

    Updated 5.13.26: Absolutely love Fisherman's Market & Grill! The seafood is always so fresh and…read moretheir consistency is well-established. Today's visit was no different and was deliciously fresh and yummy. I planned on getting a poke bowl and when I walked in, one of the specials of the day was a wasabi ahi tuna poke bowl...cha-ching! That's exactly what I got and with a side order of 2 crab cakes. The wasabi ahi tuna poke bowl was simple and fresh, yet packed with ahi tuna and the perfect amount of rice. Poke bowls are my go-to for a protein packed meal that's healthy and leaves me feeling full. Now the crab cakes!? If you've never tried them from here and you're a crab cake lover, then do yourself a favor and order some. They were perfectly cooked with a crisp outside and stuffed with a good amount of tasty fresh crab. The 2 sauces of my choice to go with the cakes are: traditional tarter sauce and then take your lemon slice and squeeze the juice on top and mix it in and the Cajun tarter sauce--it has great flavor with a little bit of spice. My pics don't do justice--the flavor is where it's at! My roommate got his favorite Shrimp Po Boy Sandwich with fries and he was a happy camper. I will say, their fries are authentic and actually taste like real potato. We arrived at lunch hour and the ambiance was definitely busy, which is normal. Service was great and food came out fairly quick. Every employee I saw stayed busy, either helping people, cleaning, or chef'ing it up.
