    Our dinner was lovely. We were seated immediately, at the appointed reservation time. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. The wait for our first course was surprisingly short, followed by the main course - not feeling rushed. Everything was delicious. Yes, the room was a bit loud, but not in annoying fashion. We look forward to dining at the Belton, becoming a fall tradition as part of our annual visit to the Park. Please keep up the good work, serving up fine dining in a pleasant setting. thank you.

    The food was good but over price which we expected being in a tourist location. We were not expecting that there were less than 10 parking spots and we had cross a highway on foot to park and get to the restaurant. THere was no mention of a parking issue and there were no signs to direct you to any extra parking locations. The interior was just an old building didn't seem very historic. We were celebrating our anniversary and noted it in our reservation. They never acknowledged it and sat us in the middle of the dining room next to the isle so a very busy location. And the noise level was off the charts. Will not be going back and don't recommend it.

    A gem in West Glacier; It's refreshing to still have an elevated option in this little corner of Montana. Historic building, great lineage, and an enticing menu. Great atmosphere and a step above other options.

    Good food, service was good but our poor waitress was definitely slammed with walk-ins. We did mark it was our anniversary and couldn’t have eaten a dessert but would have been nice to have been acknowledged even by the host upon arrival.

    We had a very enjoyable meal at the Belton Chalet. We started with the mussels, and I ate the elk fettuccini and my husband had the meatloaf. Both meals were excellent. All the food was well prepared, and cooked exactly right. Our waitress was great and took wonderful care of us. I would say that if you are looking for a special treat or a really great meal, this is a great choice.

    What a treat! After several days in Glacier hiking and touring, we had a wonderful time at Belton. Ambiance, service from Jasmine, and food was excellent. We had their filet and trout. The filet was the best. Everything had such a beautiful presentation. Thank you!

    Celebrated our daughters birthday here. Wonderful meal. Tried the Trout dip appetizer and Brattain and Tomato for fist course. All amazing and delicious. Our main courses were equally delicious. We had the bison meatloaf, trout and gnocchi. We let our daughter select dessert. She chose the molten chocolate which was wonderful. As we left dinner we heard guest gush about the chèvre cheesecake dessert. Next time we’ll have to try that. Lovely atmosphere , highly recommended.

    The waitstaff was wonderful. One issue came up when we tried to change our assigned table (before we sat down). The host got quite frustrated due to the system they use. Pursuit should consider a system with more flexibility, or get a host with less anxiety.

    As a fine dining restaurant owner and operator for 38 years, here’s my constructive critique. Kevin, the bartender, was very good. The food was very good and well presented. Megan the waitress was upbeat and efficient, but she’d do even better if she would be more herself. One disappointment was that when we made the reservation we ticked off the box that said it was our anniversary, and put in the notes area it was our 44th anniversary. No one made a mention of it, which isn’t a big deal, but if you want to display exceptional customer service, those little touches go a long way.

    Food was good and wait staff were nice but slow service. Parking is a joke. Had to park in a field across the street in tight quarters with a drop off to the backside. Blew out my tire leaving when it was dark due to an old chunk of a curb in the weeds. Need to fix this area if you’re going to send customers there to park.

    We have been here several times this summer. The food and service is consistently good. This time when we arrived we were given a table in the middle of the room which we asked to be changed to an open table by the window and in a nicer location. That was somewhat of a problem for the hostess. Something about the open table computer system. A ridiculous response. We did convince them to move us and had a lovely experience with Jazzy as our waitress. She definitely made our dining experience so enjoyable.

    We thought the food was just okay. Portions were extremely small. I had the Flathead Lake trout - it was about 3 ounces of fish, less than an ounce of squash puree (actually just a smear under the fish), and a couple ounces of broccolini. It was more of an appetizer. Taste was okay, nothing special. I think the beef looked to be a substantial meal. The salad was good.
