    This place was fantastic. The soup was amazing and the bacon wrapped dates were also a must have. I will come back for sure every time I'm in Missoula. Also if you like carrot cake or even if you don't you NEED to order this.

    Thanks for a great time. My friend and I loved the food - the Brussels Sprouts and the Lobster Linguine with pad thai vegetables in place of the pasta (we're eating low-carb these days). Aspen, our wait person was wonderful!!!!! I love your staff. It's always a treat to see John and Colleen too. Thanks so much for another fine dining experience!

    Our food was delicious and came out very quickly. Our only complaint was that our family was sat at a table with two club style chairs and a couch as the seating. You sit very low to the table so eating was slightly uncomfortable. Also you are very far away from the people on the other side of the table. It would have been perfect if it was just my husband and I having drinks. Otherwise, delicious and we will definitely be back.

    Found this place the night before we left town. When we arrived we were met by a happy hostess who was eager to make sure we were comfortable with our seating. Our waitress was amazing and made our experience all the more enjoyable. She provided great service and some really good recommendations. We pretty much had our minds set on steaks before we arrived but after we were seated and looked at the menu we ended up with a variety of items. All of the food exceeded our expectations. We will definitely try to get here again when we are in town.

    Fathers Day and late anniversary celebration. The service and food was outstanding. With shortage of staffing throughout the area, I am prepared for longer wait times with food and drinks, but did not have that experience. The mussels were excellent along with the new mango Thai salad and shrimp and grits - all quality you could find in a metropolitan area with the addition of warmth, local freshness and “Montana chic” experience of Rumour Restaurant. Great way to celebrate!

    Our salads were very good. Our entrees were ok. The chicken sandwich was a bit over cooked. The waitress was very nice but slow and not proactive. We had to ask for additional water well in to our meals. The ambiance is really fun and hip and yet the really soft chairs and couch make it very challenging to eat.

    There is nothing life changing about Rumour but everything about it is good and worth going back. The menu isn’t huge but it is quite varied so there’s something for a variety of tastes. The service is friendly and attentive and the food is tasty and well prepared. The atmosphere is really the selling point here as it makes you feel less like being at a restaurant and more like being out in the patio or deck. The dining area between the outside patio and the dining room is open and airy with comfortable and very casual seating. Value wise, you can spend a lot here but you’d have to try pretty hard. Even with drinks and desert we’ve yet to spend even $50/person. Go here for a casual dinner or even special occasion, especially if the weather is nice and you can enjoy the open air setting even inside the building.

    Lots of choices on the menu but thought the pricing for our entrees was on the high end for what we ordered. This seems to be common at higher-end restaurants in general after the quarantine. Food served had obviously set for awhile as was luke warm. Charcuterie and small plates were very good and highly recommend those. Dessert options limited obviously not their forte. Service was good, not great. Had to ask for silverware and napkins and water refills. For these prices expect a bit more. Hope this is not a trend.

    Staff could have be friendlier, I understand that they may have challenges with having enough staff to reduce the stress...The wine dispenser they use chills the red wines at white wine temperatures, was told last time in they are trying to correct this issue.

    Took 1.5 hours to receive food! This is not the typical experience here.... seems the crowd was too big for the kitchen to handle. Maybe just visited at a bad time and short staff. I would usually score 4-5's! Free dessert was offered and the poor waitress was really hustling.

    I choose Rumors because it seemed to be much like our restaurant: upscale international comfort food. We do it in the very small town of Sheridan, Montana, but I was curious to see what it was like in the big city of Missoula. I love that the restaurant tries new things. Some things did not work as well as others. To begin with, the bacon wrapped dates were a serious, 'Never again." The mouthful of soft dates with the mouthful of soft blue cheese did not work for me. I guess some love it. we did not. Change out the blue cheese with something crunchy, like pecans, and it would be more successful. The pizza was better than anything I have experienced in Montana, but still not as crispy as I prefer. Flavor full, but the center needs some work. Husband had the Vietnamese Fries. Good enough to consider replicating in our own restaurant. We liked them a lot. We did not finish them, though. Consider it Pad Thai over fries. Kinda brilliant idea. He also had the Duck Friend Rice. Also good. Also did not finish. Nothing was overly weird, nothing was over priced. All was done with flair and passion. The most interesting dessert, the baklava, was not available. Nothing else was nearly as interesting, so we skipped dessert. Service was about as good as it gets. Ambiance, as well. Over all, a very good place for interesting food. At a $60 price tag for trying everything they had that we wanted, it was pretty good. Not sure I'd go back, though.

    Tried to attend Easter Brunch. Was not notified it was a buffet without the buffet..items ordered off a sheet, then supposedly brought. Many tables waiting and waiting for food to be brought, not enough servers. Service was so slow to even place an order for a drink let alone food-we were seated for 20 minutes without being served and we simply left. The “ invisible buffet” was $41 per person, $17 per child. Have heard others complain that the food is marginal on non-holidays.

    We have dined at Rumour on several occasions and it has been hit or miss. Unfortunately this last visit was a miss and we will likely not return. Our hostess was pleasant and we were seated promptly. From there, things deteriorated. We waited 15 minutes for our server to appear (after watching the table next to us, seated after us, receive service in a few minutes from a different server). Our server seemed annoyed and took our drink order. Another 10 minutes passed and we received our cocktails, though my husband didn’t receive the drink he ordered. Rather than wait any longer, he decided not to comment, and we placed our dinner order. The server returned with another cocktail (we didn’t order) and said they were out of the prime rib he’d ordered (6:30 pm on a Saturday). He then ordered a more expensive filet. At 7:40 pm we received our entrees, which were lukewarm and average. The server dropped our check at 8:00 and dashed off again. We noticed a charge for the mystery drink we never ordered, but we were too annoyed to wait for her return to question it. After an hour and a half, we were ready to leave. We wish things were better, but for the money, there are many options in Missoula that are far more consistent and service-oriented!

    Waited several minutes for the hostess to show up. Once taken back to our table the table sat several minutes after us was greeted and ordered before we did. Then had to wait 15 minutes for the waitress to come back to pick up the check. They were not significantly busy yet we spent a lot of time waiting.

    noisier than usual, but that will change soon when their fence is back up. 75% of the food was outstanding, one steak was good. Service was slow, but they made up for it, so overall, I will definitely be back, and I am very picky.
