    Service was great! Drinks were great! Portions were great for the price. My dish was a little on the salty side but to each their own!

    Whitefish DistilleryResponded on May 23, 2023Thanks for taking the time to let us know how we are doing! We really appreciate the feedback and knowledge that we are doing well! I will make sure to have the chef watch the salt levels. :)

    The cocktails were delicious. My husband selected the place based on their menu and a tomahawk steak ($140!). The piece of meat was tough and flavorless. We had expected a cut of meat from one of the local ranches. After ordering we asked where they bought their meat, we were told Super One🤦🏻‍♀️. I guess we should have asked before ordering….. The bread was delicious but $16 for a loaf of sourdough is a bit steep even with the flavorful dips. Overall it was disappointing but ok. We won’t be back and do not recommend the tomahawk 😩.

    Food and drinks were good -Portions are big, could be a little smaller in my opinion, but certainly a good value. I'm sad they took bruschetta off the menu, we had the sourdough bread with the side spreads which were ok but not as good as bruschetta. Still a great place and I will certainly come again.

    Amazing! We found Whitefish Distillery in a local publication called Flathead Living. We're always looking for new eateries and Whitefish Distillery did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Clintin was an excellent bartender and host. The service was excellent and the food was amazing! We enjoyed the braised beef. Clam chowder was very good! This is a small restaurant. Reservations are a good idea. We enjoyed an excellent meal and spirits We highly recommend Whitefish Distillery!

    Delicious meal & tasty cocktails! Good service. Definitely would eat here again. FYI 2 drink limit here due to the type of liquor license. I enjoyed the small, intimate atmosphere but wish the seating was a bit more comfortable for eating. I don’t want to sit back in a lounge chair and eat a nice meal. That’s me being extra critical though!

    This is definitely a Diamond in the rough! Do not let appearances and location fool you. We had Brussels sprouts , Caesar salad and ordered the special for 2 which included steak, mushrooms and potatoes. My husband and I were so surprised. The food is amazing, the service is amazing, and the speakeasy era drinks were on point! We will definitely be frequenting this place more often. So refreshing to find a restaurant like this in the valley!

    Whitefish DistilleryResponded on January 8, 2023Well thank you very much! I am so glad to heard you enjoyed your time with us and really look forward to the next visit. Cheers! Danette

    Short staffed. No Huckleberry liquors. Entrees were lacking side dishes. Expensive meals for what you got. Drinks were ok....nothing to write home about.

    Whitefish DistilleryResponded on November 23, 2022Hello Tammy, Thank you so much for coming in, and for giving us the benefit of your feedback. We sincerely appreciate it. We have always taken great pride in serving fantastic food and providing excellent service. I am hoping you will come back in and see us soon. The chef who was in charge while you were here is no longer with us and I think you will find a marked improvement to the meal you had in September. Let us know you are back and your first cocktail is on me! Oh. And hucks are in now!

    Expensive small plate of undercooked, over oiled, nearly vegetable free 'summer' pasta for dinner. Gin & tonics were wonderful, service was excellent, it is a fun little place but our food (two of us ordered the same thing) was awful.
