About
When your McCall vacation calls for upscale dining, make a reservation at The Narrows Steakhouse.
Located in the historic Shore Lodge, it has earned a reputation as the definitive Idaho steakhouse. The focus here is simple: serve the finest food and drink in one of the most beautiful settings in the country.
The restaurant offers views of Payette Lake, with the Salmon River Mountains forming the horizon. Although customers come mainly for the food, the landscape keeps them longer. You can spend the day walking the trails in Ponderosa State Park and then swap your hiking boots for some proper dinner; this combination always works.
While the lake and mountain views will take your breath away, it’s the cuisine that will impress. The menu showcases Idaho's best producers, like beef from the Double R Ranch and pork from the Snake River Farms Kurabuta. Additionally, every detail is carefully considered to ensure an amazing dining experience.
Shore Lodge has always been a well-known destination, and The Narrows is its main dining attraction. Discover firsthand why this eatery is a McCall hotspot.
Vibe
From the outside, The Narrows has the same timeless charm as Shore Lodge, but inside the atmosphere becomes more refined and warm. Here, polished wood, soft lighting, and large windows bring the lake right up to your table.
Speaking of window seats, they are the most popular, letting diners watch the sun sink behind the mountains while they dine. While the atmosphere is elegant, it’s not stuffy, making it ideal for a special anniversary or a well-deserved family dinner.
The ambiance is perfect for celebrating an afternoon on the water with McCall Lake Cruises or simply enjoying fine dining in Idaho.
The Narrows Steakhouse: Menu & Drinks
The main cut of beef on the menu comes from Idaho's Double R Ranch, and the filet is cooked to your liking, well seasoned, and served with a choice of custom steak knives—either a Laguiole from France, a Shun from Japan, or a Chroma designed by Porsche from Germany. It comes with the renowned smashed loaded potato, making for a hearty yet mouthwatering meal.
The Surf & Turf offers everything on one plate—tender steak with fresh seafood. The kitchen handles both with care, and the portion sizes match the restaurant’s upscale nature.
A dish that reflects the area's distinctive character is the Braised Bison Short Ribs. The meat is slow-cooked until it falls off the bone and has a deep, rich flavor. With more than 450 wines in the collection, you’ll find a vintage to pair with your meal. Cocktail lovers should try the Huckeltini, a nod to Idaho's cherished huckleberries.
The Narrows Steakhouse earns a place on any visitor's itinerary in McCall with lake views, local ingredients, and well-attended service.
