Great restaurant experience at Bitteroot Bistro - food was absolutely on point, the wine selection was superb - the Sangiovese was perfect accompaniment to the coulotte steak was phenomenal and the trout dip and entree were both spot on. Wait staff was attentive but not overbearing, we will be back, highly recommend!

About the restaurant

When ever possible we will accommodate walk-ins.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a 10 minute grace period for reservations. Please call us if you are running later than 10 minutes.

Legendary Dining & Hospitality
Acting as stewards of traditional hospitality, the dining room offers world-class cuisine in a warm and welcoming environment. Serving an array of local beer, spirits and craft cocktails and all brought to you by our friendly staff, the Belton Tap Room is a favorite of locals and guests from around the world.

With an outdoor elevated deck and original 100-year-old fireplace, this is the perfect place for all that Montana summers have to offer. Every evening, our staff lines the balconies to welcome the evening train, just like they did in 1910. Steeped in the romanticism of a bygone era, this is the perfect setting for a special evening - whether you're celebrating an anniversary or the completion of a ten-mile hike.

The food was the best!! Great taste and the other customers were very friendly. Pretty friendly environment. The staff was also great! Had to wait a bit to be served (not overcrowded) but, other than that our server was very attentive and went above and beyond!!

Food was amazing! We had Burrata and peaches, Brussels sprouts, bison and corn and it was amazing! The calamari was a little tough but everything else was amazing! Service was top notch as well including management.
