The bar side is a nice place to get a drink, a burger and watch the game of your choice. Some advice: Try the chipotle aioli on your burger or fries. Try the blue cheese on your burger. The bacon is some of the best you'll get in a restaurant, whether on a burger or on a huge BLT. Only complaint: someone has been cutting the fries sideways recently so I got a basket of extremely short fries! Luckily I had a fork.

Come back to the Bar to see her immediately seating a couple at a table that just opened up. Terrible Service. I don't think I will ever go back.

They don't know how to run a Restaurant (turning tables as soon as they're done)!

Bitter Root Brewing is one of the older Montana breweries that I came across in my recent beer…read moreadventures in the Big Sky state. The beer that I got for our enjoyment was a fruit beer. Sometimes these types of beers can be pretty sugary and be a bit much. But that wasn't a problem with Huckleberry Honey Ale. Yes, it was sweet. No doubt about it but it wasn't it's dominant feature which was great and made this fruit beer a fun one to drink. Flavors to play around on your tongue with this beverage are sweet, fruity, honey and subtle. The subtle is probably the mechanism at play where nothing comes off too heavy handed , making the flavor profile well balanced. The beer is light bodied which is great as the summer time temps crank up the thermometer the light bodied beers are most appreciated.

My husband and I went to this restaurant to celebrate our birthdays. We had watched the owner/chef…read moreon this season of Top Chef, and we were excited to try his food. We were not disappointed. The restaurant has a lovely open layout, and we were able to sit where we could watch everything going on in the kitchen. They have some open fires with hefty amounts of coals, hence Ember. It was a lovely atmosphere. The staff was very attentive and engaging. We started with their wedge salad, which we shared. It had a very nice seasoning on top, that we hadn't had on a salad before, but it was delicious. We loved their homemade sourdough bread with the lovely ribbon of butter it was served with. My husband had a steak, which we both thought was very good. I chose the beef cheeks, which were served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. The dish was very different from the beef cheeks I had in Italy, but they were delicious and so tender, no knife needed. The beef cheeks dish was big enough I had plenty to share with my husband, in exchange for a bite of his steak. The only thing I would change would be less salt, as the beef cheek dish was just a tad too salty for my tastes. We were quite filled and decided against a dessert, although they all sounded delicious. The waiter was very kind, and decided to treat us to a dish of strawberry sorbet for our birthdays. It was quite delicious, not too sweet, which we both really enjoyed. We had a great dinner and will hopefully be back soon.

An unassuming door opens to a wide-open space framed by rustic wood panels and leather booths leading to a walk-in kitchen. There is no chef's counter; instead a long chef's table and views of wood-fired meals from any seat in the house. The menu is tailored but varied by local and seasonal selections. I would have appreciated stronger leadership during seating and dining, as service requires a touch of polish. Nonetheless, the local Embered Beets tipped the scales on my typical avoidance - the earthy taste is brined and balanced after firing, served along with gently sweet goat cheese speckled in fresh cracked black pepper topped with savory (crunch!) granola & radish micro greens. Another local pick - Premium Filet Mignon from Billings is fresh from the range, tender enough to cut with a butter knife, and coated in bruléed blue cheese that blends with rich jus. Comparatively the 24-Hour Potato is showy but bland compared to the effort & ingredients involved. Knocking socks off - the Toffee Cake is dessert ELEVATED - a dense butter cake in Bundt shape soaks up ALL the caramelized toffee that's sweet but not TOO, warming and comforting with a single scoop of rich vanilla ice cream and a touch of thyme on top. AMEN! p.s. A thoughtful thank you note to-go is an exceptional way to end a lovely meal.

The food was hit-or-miss. The Bruschetta was an odd preparation with olives and excessive melted cheese, making it difficult to serve. The Thai Chicken and Shrimp Scampi were delicious, flavorful, and generous. However, the Halibut Special was a major letdown. As a former Alaskan resident, I found the maybe 3oz portion shockingly small and somewhat dry; three of the five clams were empty shells. One of us ended with the Key Lime Pie, which had a crust-to-filling ratio that was almost comical, vertically no filling. I really like the potential of this place and will likely return, but the 'specials' definitely missed the mark.
