The Float House

Cutest lakefront dining in Sandpoint!! We came here for dinner last night with the family and sat right on the water, caught a beautiful sunset. They’re officially open for 2025 summer season! Ordered Elote chicken, Ahi and Steelhead - so so good. This place is my favorite restaurant in Sandpoint, can’t wait to enjoy more drinks and good food on the lake this summer! Huge shoutout to Emily who is managing the floor, she made our experience so fun. It’s such a VIBE in there this year. Beautiful art work the whole get up. And bigggg shoutout to Eddie the chef/owner he knows how to make a damn good menu. What a good time last night. See you all summer!

Beautiful Setting, Great Food — But Service Left a Lot to Be Desired !!! Worst ever actually… The Float House has been a well-known spot on the lake for many years, and I was excited to check it out, after 45 years :). The location is great — right on the water with a lively marina atmosphere. While the view is somewhat obstructed by boats, it still has a nice lakeside charm, and we were seated at a lovely table right at the water’s edge. I was taking pictures of the good size fish in the lake. My grandkids would love to see… The food was excellent. I really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich and huckleberry lemonade — it was refreshing and not too sweet, which I appreciated. Overall, the menu delivered!! However, the service was so DISAPPOINTING that it overshadowed the entire experience

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 qu

Perfectly cooked meat; we enjoyed the ahi tuna, the pork with mango chutney, and the filet special. Great smashed potatoes with extra crunchy skin. First drink was weak but they fixed it for us and were very friendly.

Great experience, and really cool menu choices. Decided to go with the prawn pad Thai and was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was wonderful and creative, everyone in our party enjoyed their meals in the service was good as well.
