Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel introduces new level of culinary craftmanship

Golf resort home to region’s first true destination for dry-aged beef — rooted in tribal land, craft, and fire

WORLEY, Idaho (April 17, 2026) – Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel is nothing if not innovative, constantly adding new, cutting-edge amenities to delight guests. The newly announced program to dry-age beef at its Chinook Steak, Seafood and Pasta Restaurant is the latest example of this commitment to inspire guests. Given traveling golfers desire for first-class meals to complement award-winning golf at the property’s Circling Raven Golf Club, guests are winning on and off the course.

Chinook’s new unit dry-ages beef for durations of three weeks or longer. This creates a nutty, concentrated, savory transformation by controlling the beef’s environment through temperature, humidity, and airflow.Once the beef has been expertly aged, it is finished over fire, a signature dining experience unlike any other in the region.

“The Chinook Dry-Aged Steak Program requires time, precision, and patience,” said Alex Santos-Cucalon, Executive Chef, Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel. “These principles align with those of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, aging beef the same way the land teaches – slowly, intentionally, respectfully.”

Adding the dry-aging program gives beef lovers a reason to visit Coeur d’Alene Casino. Golfers to complement a round at Circling Raven with an exquisite post-round dinner. Culinary aficionados to pin the casino as a stop on any Inland Northwest dining itinerary.

The Chinook Reserve dry-aged steaks are now available, prepared to gratify people who enjoy premium dining experiences.
