Sky House @ Schweitzer

Fantastic way to spend my birthday. We took the lift to the top and had a wonderful lunch. The berry cobbler, oh my! SO yummy!

Incredible views from our table on the deck! Elohe taco Salad was huge, fresh and delicious! Service was a bit slow but it was due to lack of staff.(Too many call outs). Fantastic trip up the chairlift to see this beautiful landscape.

The views and the food were phenomenal! I ordered the farmhouse burger and it did not disappoint, it's a pork/beef mix patty- tender and juicy. Their aoli sauce and pretzel bun was superb. It makes it so much better as well if you hike/take the trail up! Really stirs up the appetite.

Beautiful view and kind waitress but the food is subpar for what I’d expect from Schweitzer. The chicken tacos barely had any meat in them and the shrimp in the shrimp taco was crunchy. The tacos come with a plate to put your own toppings on them which consisted of pickled red onion and plain, fresh out of a bag, dry cabbage. One might expect some sort of dressed slaw. The huckleberry lemonades were okay. The calamari was good. But $72 after tip for what we were served is pretty crazy.

Lunch was great, but the views and atmosphere were the absolute best. We took gondolas up the mountain.... And it gets much colder as you go up so bring a sweatshirt or ayt least a windbreaker...

Great view at the top. Can be super busy. We had a two hour wait one time. Last year the food was not good at all but this year it was pretty good! The burger was delicious as was the Argentinian beef. Pho was unflavorful every year.

We rode the gondola up to The Nest/Sky House, took some pictures of the beautiful view, hiked around a bit then and had a delicious spicy Paloma with fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice at the bar. Great way to spend a summer afternoon at Schweitzer. Super friendly, fun bartender and staff.

The best part of this restaurant/bar situated on the top of the mountain is the view on a sunny day and it’s location as a place to get warm and use the facilities. The bar is pretty cool, but don’t expect much in terms of food or prices. The prices are steep like the surrounding runs. Unfortunately, haven’t enjoyed the food either. Come here for the view and sit at the bar and enjoy local company.

A had a bad experience with a service at the Sky House Restaurant. During a conversation with the server we asked her about the ski slopes at Schweitzer. She progressed the conversation to say how she was unhappy with the amount of growth in the area, although she was also not from the area, she is from Oregon. She spoke badly about all the baby boomers who owned more than one house and buying up the real estate, she said "who needs to own more than one house?" She then bad mouthed baby boomers who retired in their 50's and then expected young people like her to work. She said "they don't want to work, why should I work"? Then the final insult was about people who made their money in real estate. She spoke badly about the new owners at Schweitzer, they are too corporate. We didn't say much during her socialist soap box speech, just left quickly. We are in our 50's, recently retired, own more than one home and made our money in real estate.... This girl needs to be fired, and work somewhere where she doesn't interact with other people. I will never come back to your restaurant. And I have told everyone I know this story... boomers go elsewhere!!!

Schweitzer has upped there game with this addition! The food is the best on the mountain! The view is breathtaking!

Best food in Sandpoint at the top of Schweitzer Mountain! Spent the morning snowshoeing, took the lift to the top and had a simply AMAZING Valentines Day lunch with panoramic 360 degree views of North Idaho. GET HERE and you will be rewarded!!

Great location! Cool spot. A little small for clientele, so hard to find seating on a busy day. Spendy pricing. They need to work on staffing with service. It is slow and somewhat disorganized. The last 2 times here, the waitresses have messed up orders quite a lot. They make it seem harder than it is. I'm sure with time they will fine tune this glitch.

The views are amazing. But the service is terrible. I sat in an almost empty restaurant for 25 mins after that I asked to be served. The food was fine for the price and location. But I believe the service comes with the package. And it was just bad. Bad enough that is reflex's poorly on the prices and ambience.

We've been looking forward to coming here since it opened, we come up every summer and always take the ski lift up to walk around and explore with the kids. After we were here last summer and found out about the lodge we couldn't wait to come up the following summer. Luckily we planned an extra visit to Idaho and came up for spring break and got a chance to check out the new lodge earlier. The lodge itself is beautiful with a million dollar view. But we all found the food to be very underwhelming. The burger which was $16.50 was very bland and didn't even come with any side, seriously no French fries or even a bag of chips. They seem to be trying to be a little to fancy with the menu. Keep it simple. They also don't offer any kids menu which I just can't understand at all. The closest thing I could find for my 5 year old was the fried or baked spaghetti. Poor little guy when his food came out he had a look on his face like what the heck is this. Needless to say he didn't care for it. Then my 7 year old ordered the chicken wings and they try to present it as a five star Michelin restaurant plate, with sauce spread across the plate looking like it's about to be photographed for a food magazine. I really hope they tweak the menu before summer. If anyone form the lodge is reading this please add kid friendly food and maybe some sandwich options like a club sandwich or BLT. Again use the (KISS) method, "keep it simple stupid." Because when we come back up on summer vacation we would really like to have lunch up here and enjoy the view, if not then we will just continue to eat in the village.

So where do I even begin. The food, like 5 star Michelin tires, presented to the T. Amazing food and the bartenders welp, I came in for 1 beer and stayed for 4. Keith and James absolutely slay it and entertain while we were here. What more can you ask for than some powder and a beer at the top of a mountain 6,000 feet up. I will continue to come in every time I am up. Definitely one of the best mountain spots around. Keep it up!
