Fodor's Expert Review The Cedars Floating Restaurant

Bobbing on the quiet Spokane River, just off the marina of Blackwell Island, this floating restaurant offers great views of the surrounding water. Cozy and romantic, but also great for big groups, you can sample some authentic northwest Idaho cuisine like the cedar-plank salmon or the beer-marinated charbroiled steak, a specialty since 1965. On warm summer days, opt to sit on the patio, try the salad bar with homemade dressings, and watch the ducks swim by on the water.
