    We had a wonderful experience last night. This is far from the hustle and bustle of many crowded restaurants in Bozeman. We did not feel rushed. Our table was waiting for us when we arrived. The service was outstanding and the food excellent. Although the restaurant was busy, it was quiet and intimate. I highly recommend Gallatin River Lodge.

    Overall, one of the better dining experiences we’ve had in Bozeman. The food is excellent - between our table we ordered the braised bone-in beef short ribs, duck, and bison bolognese. All were fantastic. Hats off to the Chef. The service and staff were incredible as well. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

    Brought my out of town sister here in hopes for a nice Montana meal and they didn’t disappoint. Chef sent out a little appetizer and it was not only nice but tasted outstanding. Drinks were delicious and the meal, oh the meal! Made with care and perfection. I was beyond satisfied and my sister was blown away. She carried on so much about the food, I was almost embarrassed! Our server was a delight and we even saw deer out in the field while we dined. Thank you! Could not have asked for a better night out for dinner!

    We found this restaurant on our last visit and made sure to change our plans this visit so we could have dinner here again. Our waitress was Cat and she remembered us from months ago which made us feel even more welcome. The smash burger is the only burger I will eat anywhere! The serving is so large that I can only eat half but that’s fine - lunch tomorrow! Soup of the day was tomato bisque - done perfectly. My husband had the trout again and finished every bit of it. He said it was the freshest trout he’s ever tasted. We love your everything about your restaurant and it’s a special treat to visit. We most definitely will be back. Thank you!

    I had the pleasure of dining at the Gallatin River Lodge last night, and it was truly an exceptional experience! I tried wild Montana trout for the first time, and it was easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had. My son ordered the Smashburger, and he enjoyed it just as much. The standout, however, was the service. Nicolas was fantastic—his recommendations were spot on, and he managed to accommodate us on short notice. The presentation of each dish was beautiful, and the crème brûlée with an apple pie combo was absolutely divine. The salad was incredibly tender, and I was impressed to learn from our server Alexa that they grow it right there on the property! Overall, this is a dining experience worth the trip, even if you’re not staying at the lodge.
