    Excellent service. Food was ok but nothing amazing tho the garlic bread was a real hit for our family. Great playlist but the drinks were quite disappointing. It was a 3.5 in my book but I rounded it up

    This is the best restaurant near glacier! It’s intimate and delicious! I highly recommend the tomahawk for two! All of the drinks are delicious but anything with the river rock gin is incredible!

    Food and service were amazing. Short ribs, pork, crab cakes, and curry dish all five stars! Definitely make this your go to place and a great place to take guests after picking them up at the airport as it’s right near there on Hwy 2.

    This is the best restaurant I’ve eaten in for over a decade. Their basket of chips were beyond belief - warm, fluffy, crispy and dusted with Parmesan cheese instead of plain old salt. Everyone got a big basket upon being seated. That was the welcoming touch. Our meal was not only beautiful, but scrumptious. I had the Shawarma chicken and my friend had pork Verde tacos - to die for!!

    This is an excellent establishment with great people. Clint and Matt working front of house offered a unique and comfortable ambiance, as well as top notch food and drinks. Cocktails were excellent, I had the whitefish sour, loved it. The “bread n stuff” was the best garlic bread I’ve ever had in my life. The entrees were each healthy portions, and the braised short ribs were some of the best you can get anywhere. 3 cocktails, appetizer, and 2 entrees came to $120 which is a bargain considering the quality of food, drink, ambiance, and service. If you read this review and you’re looking for the best restaurant in whitefish, look no further.

    Without a doubt, this dining experience tops the list in the region. We began with a sampling of spirits, each one great, before indulging in the appetizer—a succulent glazed pork belly that surprisingly had more meat than anticipated, and it was fabulous. Initially hesitant about the glaze, it turned out to be fantastic. Opting for the short ribs as our main course proved to be a wise decision—they were nothing short of exceptional. The entire evening was a five-star affair, marked by outstanding service and remarkable cuisine and beverages. A heartfelt shoutout to Clint for a memorable experience!

    Relaxing environment with amazing food. They were very accommodating to my food needs and my husband was very impressed by the spirits they create too. We will definitely be back.

    Always great cocktails (margaritas and mojitos are our faves) and delicious food. Loved the special tortilla soup and the tacos and crab cakes for lunch.
