    Glad we chose to eat here, the NY strip and the Bison Steak were both amazing. Also appreciated the wine recommendation from the sommelier, he was spot on.

    What a disappointment for Mother's Day Brunch! The brunch menu (which was unavailable online to look at) consisted of mostly basic breakfast items. It included salad, avocado toast with a very thin piece of salmon, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, fruit, and a small piece of duck with rice in a crust. Nearly all of the food was cold or barely warm and most of the food looked stale like it had been sitting out for hours. Our reservations were at 12:30 after church and some food items were almost gone. In fact there was one piece of duck left and the server made the comment that 'you got the last piece" even though there were several patrons behind me in line. Obviously there were no second helpings of most everything. The brunch came with coffee although the wait staff pushed Bloody Mary's and Mamosa's at $12 a pop which we didn't know were not included. So the Mother's day "breakfast" for 3 with 2 mimosas and 1 Bloody Mary came to $284. We could have had 12oz tenderloin dinners at the Mint Cafe in Belgrade with drinks for around $200 which would have been a much better, larger, and hot meal. No wonder GRR didn't make it easy to see the brunch menu ... who would have come. A Rip Off for sure and we won't be back ever.

    Dear Mark, I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience fell short of expectations on such a special occasion. We take great pride in crafting memorable dining experiences, especially during events meant to celebrate loved ones. We wish we had been made aware of these concerns during your visit. Our team is always prepared to correct any issues on the spot, whether that’s replenishing items or ensuring everything is served at its best. We understand that value and quality go hand-in-hand, and I regret that this brunch didn’t reflect that for you. Your comments about menu visibility, clarity on beverage inclusions, and overall experience will be reviewed closely with our team to make meaningful improvements going forward. Warm regards, Nicholas Food & Beverage Director

    The food and service were very high quality and the portions were generous. In the past the portions were so small that it was not worth the cost, but they have improved tremendously. Thank you!

    My husband and I dined here on our honeymoon! The service and food were absolutely amazing! We were even greeted with glasses of complimentary champagne to celebrate our honeymoon. I ordered the Waygu and it was delicious! My husband got the Bison special and he enjoyed it as well! Our waitress, Alexa, made sure that we were taken care of the entire evening! We were sat at a table by the window with a beautiful view of the River and the mountains. Could not have asked for a better celebratory dinner! Everything was amazing!
