Where craftsmanship, comfort, and community come together


By Like Media Team


In its first year, 113 Main has quickly become one of downtown Sandpoint’s favorite gathering places. Housed in the historic Truby’s Building, the restaurant’s mix of exposed brick, black metal, and copper accents gives it a sense of place that is both timeless and comfortable. The open kitchen and the easy warmth of the staff make it clear that this is a spot built around connection.


“It’s been such a rewarding year,” says owner Justin Dick. “What stands out most to me is the incredible support we’ve received from the community. We’ve really found our rhythm, and it’s been amazing to watch our guests become regulars.”


That rhythm defines the 113 Main experience. It’s more than food; it’s the atmosphere, the pace, and the comfort that fill the space. The music stays low, the lighting warm, and everything runs with a quiet confidence that ties it all together. Guests can drop in for a casual lunch or spend the evening lingering over a slow meal with friends.


The menu follows the same thoughtful approach, blending creativity with familiarity. Everything at 113 Main is made from scratch using local ingredients whenever possible. The Chilean Sea Bass, pistachio-crusted chicken salad, and 113 Main Burger have quickly become favorites. At the same time, dishes like the filet mignon, ribeye, beef tartare, and lobster mac and cheese show off the kitchen’s range and attention to detail. Each dish is carefully considered in a way that keeps guests coming back to see what’s next.


Lunch service, introduced this year, brought a new pace to the day. “Dinner still has that destination feel,” Justin says, “but lunch has added a relaxed flow that keeps things lively from open to close.” Whether it’s a quick midday stop or a leisurely evening, the food remains approachable yet refined—designed to let the ingredients speak for themselves.


The bar is an essential part of the atmosphere. Signature cocktails like the Avalanche White Margarita, Smoke Show, and Lady in Red highlight the creativity of a team that understands balance. Every drink is crafted to complement the menu’s flavors, while the wine and beer list focuses on regional producers who share the restaurant’s commitment to quality. On any given evening, locals gather at the bar to share stories, toast milestones, or unwind after a long day. It’s the kind of place that naturally brings people together.


Behind it all is a team of people who love what they do. “Our staff is everything,” Justin says. “We’ve built a culture of collaboration and respect. Everyone contributes ideas, and that sense of ownership shows in how they care for our guests.” It’s a level of attention that turns a meal into an experience, shaped by a team that truly enjoys what they do.


This summer marked 113 Main’s first full season in downtown Sandpoint since Trinity closed its doors. While the change reshaped the dining landscape, 113 Main has become a natural gathering place, carrying forward the sense of community that makes Sandpoint special. The restaurant has built its own identity, one grounded in craftsmanship, consistency, and connection.


Looking ahead, Justin and his team are focused on continuing to evolve. The menu will keep shifting with the seasons, drawing from the best of the Inland Northwest. It’s a place built on care and community, where good food, cocktails, and people come together in a way that captures the true character of Sandpoint.
