    Waiting area
    Meerim M.

    We stopped by Obsidian Restaurant during our Yellowstone trip and left with very mixed feelings. The food was genuinely delicious -- the filet mignon was the highlight of the evening. The meat was incredibly tender, soft, and cooked perfectly. Dessert was also very good once it arrived. Unfortunately, the service was painfully slow throughout the entire experience. We waited about an hour for a table, then nearly 30 more minutes before our order was taken. Our waitress seemed distracted and not very attentive, which made the long waits feel even longer. After dinner, our table sat uncleared for quite a while, and getting the check became another long wait. Since we were hoping to catch the Old Faithful geyser eruption before leaving, we eventually stood near the checkout station just to speed things up. Sadly, we still ended up missing it because of the delays. The quality of the food was excellent, but the service seriously affected the overall experience.

    I wish i could order TO GO ONLY!!! Because food is great but service is jokingly HORRIBLE!!! The food was the only saving grace here. The trout and filet mignon were genuinely good -- well-prepared and flavorful. But that's where the positives end. We waited 45 minutes just to be seated, which already set a rough tone. Our server moved at a pace I've never seen before -- so slow and overly apologetic that my wife and I genuinely couldn't tell if she was having a bad day or something else entirely. After dinner we ordered two desserts for Mother's Day -- an ice cream and a lava cake -- along with a simple drip coffee. She never even bothered to clear our dinner plates before bringing dessert. We finished the lava cake and the ice cream, and the coffee never came. She simply forgot, apologized, and we just canceled it. Then we waited 15 minutes for the check, and another 10 minutes just to get charged. The worst part? Because of all this, we missed the 8 PM Old Faithful eruption -- by just five minutes. It was our last night in Yellowstone. If the service had any sense of urgency, we would've made it. Instead, a special Mother's Day memory was ruined. Beautiful place, great food, terrible service.

    It's always a wait to snag a table at a dining room in one of the lodges but at least you can get a reservation on the day of vs wayyyy in advance like some of the other dining rooms. We waited about 45 mins for a table but the free wifi worked so we didn't mind the wait. Service was fine, not solid but not terrible either. We got the beet salad and added on the grilled shrimp, jackfruit quesadilla, a huckleberry mocktail and ended the night with the basque cake. This was hands down our best meal at Yellowstone! The beets and the dressing in the salad was tasty, the quesadilla was filling (although a little light on salt), the mocktail was refreshing (although a little low on quantity), and the cake was moist and delicious. We really enjoyed the pleasant ambiance and the wonderful food. Would highly recommend!

    1/3 of the potato leek ravioli starter. It was really good.

    This was a really nice meal. Decor is great, fits perfectly in the snow lodge. Food took a bit long to come out, but everything was good. Hubs had the bison short ribs and liked it a lot. I had the Idaho trout, and it was very tasty (could have been warmer). Kiddo had the bbq tofu. It was also pretty good. The grains could use a little more flavor, but overall a solid choice. We'll definitely be back for breakfast.

    $175.69 (food: 3 sister schubert's dinner rolls, ravioli, house salad, bistro filet steak, double smash burger, crispy duck leg. drink: beer, wine, water) Obsidian Room monologue: On a Thursday at 8pm, 3 hungry humans walked into this restaurant. We were seated immediately and greeted by Savannah once we got settled at our table. With a pleasant smile, and a pen and paper in hand, Savannah took our beverage, small plates and dinner order. Over a span of about 20 minutes, we received everything that we ordered. Let's get our fork into the details: the dinner rolls were so deliciously warm and tasty. The butter wasn't even bothered much. Masking the ooo's and aaa's that were creating musical tones behind our lips, after every bite, would have been a disservice to the hard work of the baker. Biting into the ravioli allowed the taste buds to play a pleasurable game of ping pong. The beef steak dinner was a magical creation. The request for "medium rare plus" was presented with perfection. The smash burger was seasoned for an exclusive prized competition and had the impression of being smashed with 10 karat gold hands. The duck leg meal, well, I asked to speak with the chef... Chef Austin and his team deserve praises for how they curated this dish! There was nothing bland or boring about my last meal on this particular day. The meal was made with precise attention, phenomenal timing, personality, and vision. After meeting and having an extensive, amazing, eye opening conversation with Chef Austin, I certainly absorbed the passion that this young, aspiring and passionate Chef has for the cuisines he has been honored to master. I'm sure you can assume what I'm going to say. Yes, you're right. When hunger kicks in and you are near Old Faithful Geyser, make yourself move around the corner to this restaurant. You will be pleased. P.s. - We were to full for dessert, but they had a nice selection. I'll try that next time.

    Food was better than expected for in the park. I had bbq tofu and it was actually really good. One of the people in my party had the buffalo chili and said it was good too. Prices were a bit steep, but again, we were in the park. Our server was nice and friendly. The ambiance was fine, quite loud because the dining room was really crowded due to the limited eating options. Again, I am giving this place four stars, reviewing it based on it being an in the park dining option.

    Lamb- not very good
    Brynley S.

    The food was decent but nothing v extra ordinary but the service was amazing! Brad and Carly were so kind and were always attentive and kind. The restaurant had a mountain vibe that was kind of cool was a fire place that warmed up the whole restaurant. It is kind of the only place to eat at the restaurant but over all a great place to meet great people with decent food. I would recommend the Korean BBQ skewers, they were amazing! Do not get the lamb! It was not good, and very bland. Overall I would come back though.

    We came in at 7 pm on a Saturday. The restaurant was half full and we were seated immediately. This place is first come first serve, no reservations allowed. They're only open for breakfast and dinner. Our waitress, Nicole, was great. She took our order promptly and was polite. The food came out super fast. And she attended to us only when we needed her. We ordered a bison tartare, curry lentil and quinoa soup, bison short ribs, and wild boar. We also got a carrot cake for dessert. The food was alright overall. The bison tartare was pretty good. The biscuit that came with it was flavorful and went well with the meat. The curry soup came out near boiling hot, had a strong Indian curry scent, but was a little too salty. The bison ribs weren't fall off the bone but tasted okay. The broccoli and peas helped balance the dish. The wild boar was a pasta dish covered in gamey ragu sauce that was pretty sour. Not sure if I liked it. Both the ribs and the pasta were lukewarm. The carrot cake was pretty good. It was filled with carrot strips which gave it that extra crunch. It was a little sweet but not too bad and that's saying a lot coming from someone without a sweet tooth.

    Food is super salty, you will need to drink water all night. The place is super crowded. Service is hit or miss. But it is one of the better food place here in Yellowstone.

    Orders of French fries and onion rings for the table- we dove  in quickly but there were actually more than pictured  ;)
    Holly T.

    We stayed at Old Faithful Snow Lodge for the night and ate dinner here. No reservations accepted, but we came after Labor Day and got in for an early dinner. Our table of four got an order of both fries and onion rings and they were delicious! Soups and salads were also good. Service was exceptional and the dining room itself was adequate. Only 30 tables so come early if it's crowded. Ambience was lodge- like.

    Wild boar
    Kristina I.

    We stayed in the Snow Lodge Cabins in October. At this time of the year, there is little open in the park as far as food/ services goes. We had little choice in where to eat. We were quickly seated upon arrival. I ordered the Wild Boar (North African spiced ragu, garlic chive pappardelle, curry yogurt). Honestly it was delicious. The flavors were well balanced and it was cooked very nicely. My sister ordered the Wild Game Burger (Bison with beer-washed cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, sweet heirloom tomato jam, greens, brioche bun, and fries). She ordered it medium and it came out raw. Legitimately raw (actually cold in the center). She sent it back and 10 mins later they brought her a new one that was cooked properly with no fuss. For desert we ordered the Yellowstone Caldera with ice cream. I think it was "trying" to be a lava cake, but was overbaked ($8.95). Adding ice cream was an additional $3.95. We received two ping pong ball sized scoops of ice cream. Pretty ridiculous to charge that much for so little vanilla ice cream. Service was friendly and faster than expected.

They had a buffet option, $15 per kid and $50 per adult.

The rib eye plate was extremely underwhelming and the tofu bowl was not good at all. The service was very nice but the entrees took a very long time to come out.

I asked for dressings on the side, ranch all on top. Kids chicken fingers, not so fresh/soggy when I opened them. Honey mustard was good. I wanted the potato soup but they had broccoli cheddar, it was fine, under seasoned. It took 25 minutes to get what I ordered and then I felt horrible because the poor hostess was being yelled at by the people waiting because like everyone else here said, it's messed up! No, I won't be back. Sorry I'm not sorry.

The burger was very average however, it tasted like something I would cook at home during July 4th. The bison tasted just like steak and was very tender but the seasoning was just a bit too salty for me. It was balanced by the potatoes, which had a good consistency and flavour. My personal favorite was the trout which alone, wouldve bumped this review up to a 4.5 star. It was cooked decently, with the meat being quite tender and the seasoning on top was delicious. The cauliflower rice was slightly tangy and the greens were tender and well cooked bringing out a whole new flavour when all these elements combined, a very unique taste that I had never experienced before. I like how this restaurant doesn't just have generic dishes but personalized ones that you can't just get anywhere. The dishes were in the smaller side.
