Andrew was our server and did a great job. This basement bar and grille is very nice and the evidence was light and fun. Great food and service with great prices. Filet and Caesar salad were our main courses Both were outstanding. I would have preferred my steak and baked potato to be ripping hot but they were just warm. I’m not sure why they weren’t hot but otherwise fantastic experience.

We had dinner at the bar and Cody was our bartender! He was absolutely fantastic - talkative and welcoming and also open to making creative drinks (which were very tasty)! We’ll definitely be back to see Cody! We got the trout, kale salad with steak, and sardines. The food was fun and creative. Only criticism is they could have better signage to go up the stairs once inside.

Discover Montana

Montana sweeps down from the mountains in the west and extends to the sweeping plains of the east. Locals and visitors alike enjoy Montanan favorites as well as less common fare found in the bigger towns. With ranching being such a big part of the economy, beef is an obvious staple on many menus. Steaks and burgers naturally lead the herd. But, you can also find wilder game like bison and elk, often incorporated into meatballs, pastries, and other dishes. You can't get more Montanan than a dish that highlights the huckleberry, like muffins, puddings, pancakes, and jam. Being a major producer of cereal crops, anything made with buckwheat is going to be a favorite, especially pancakes. All-American staples, like pizza with a Montanan twist, are also on the menu.
