Dockside Restaurant
Gooey, the Famous Confection – The Coeur d’Alene Resort! For veterans of The Resort’s dessert menu, the thought of Gooey’s will get taste buds tingling and mouths watering. When you order a Gooey, expect a larger-than-life ice cream sundae — mounds of ice creams, syrups, chocolate and candies that fill a cup fit for a king. Sit back and enjoy the most beautiful sunset on Coeur d'Alene Lake.
