Exceptional dining, community values, and a taste of local excellence
By Like Media Team
In downtown Sandpoint, 113 Main has become a standout destination for those seeking exceptional dining with a local touch. Owned by Justin and Shaunavee Dick, the restaurant blends handcrafted menus, thoughtful ambiance, and a commitment to supporting the community. 113 Main follows the tradition of the Dicks' long-time Sandpoint dining establishment, Trinity at City Beach, continuing to elevate the local dining experience.
“We want to bring the best quality product with the best customer service and prices,” says Justin. “I’ve found that consistency across those three areas is key to maintaining the health of our business, retaining great employees, and having amazing patronage.” This focus on quality and consistency drives 113 Main’s success, reflecting the Dicks’ passion for creating memorable experiences.
Justin is a dedicated contributor to the Sandpoint community. He has served as President of the Bonner General Health Foundation and participated as a Sandpoint Rotarian for over 13 years. He’s supported local non-profits through efforts like Dine Out for a Cause, where proceeds benefit participating organizations. As a sponsor of the Sandpoint Rotary Club’s CHAFE 150 bicycle ride, he has provided meals to more than 500 cyclists and volunteers annually. “Giving back and participating is part of what makes Sandpoint such a special place,” Justin shares.
This community connection resonates with patrons. “Our customers feel comfortable spending their money with us, not just because we’ve created a great dining experience for them, but because they know we support this community,” Justin explains.
The restaurant’s seasonal menu highlights fresh, local ingredients. Hearty comfort dishes feature in colder months, while summer offers lighter fare. Locally sourced items, such as arugula and microgreens from Pack River Farms, enhance the menu.
113 Main is also celebrated for its full bar with handcrafted cocktails and unique whiskies. “We select fresh ingredients, high-quality alcohols, house-made mixers, and syrups, and precisely measure, stir, and garnish,” Justin notes. Rare and unique whiskeys elevate the bar experience, offering selections unavailable elsewhere in the region.
Its ambiance balances historical charm with modern touches. “For those who remember the original Café Trinity on 1st Street, we have much of the same vibe: intimate, historical, elegant, with a throwback to Sandpoint’s early days,” Justin describes. With its versatile setting, 113 Main is ideal for date nights, casual gatherings, and special celebrations.
Among the restaurant’s achievements, Justin is particularly proud of resuming seven-day lunch and dinner service. “After COVID, many restaurants, including my own, had to close a couple of days a week to deal with the lack of staff,” he says. “I have been fortunate to have an amazing staff that has been able to get us open full-time.”
Justin credits the community for the restaurant’s success. “Thank you to all of our customers and the community. The support we’ve received has been incredible. Opening a restaurant in a small town is challenging, but with the help of this community, we’ve created a dining experience everyone can enjoy.”
