Our party of 3 was visiting the area, and with so many seasonal restaurant closures, we opted for…read morethe well-reviewed Bistro downtown. Dressed up and on reservation, we arrived a tad early and were promptly greeted. Maybe hospitality isn't Wyoming's forte, but all of the staff did not seem happy to see nor serve us from the beginning. The booking site only offered high top tables, so that's what I selected. When the hostess asked if we'd like to switch to a table, she was sternly corrected in front of us that it "wouldn't be possible" by another staff member. The interaction felt unprofessional in front of guests, and as if they weren't willing to accommodate us. On top of that fiasco came plenty of glares and stares from staff throughout our visit. Crawfish & Dumpling - 9/10 For the table. Pungent; a few bites satisfy. I've never had crawfish in this setting. Perfect gnocchi. Delicious all around. Oyster Shooter - 8/10 Fairly priced, fresh. Nice bloody mary. Rabbit Ravioli - 6.5/10 Stingy portion of meat. Ravioli is just okay. The fried carrot nest was fun but it was too much for the serving. It's a carrot salad with a bite of meat and maybe 5 ravioli. Bar Steak - One came overcooked and one under. Sides were mediocre. Uninteresting mashed potatoes. Our waitress tried to take our order almost immediately after being seated. She visited few times after ordering. With a 5:30 reservation, we left by 5:57 thanks to the small portions and staff seeming to rush us out. In a tourist destination, I would imagine better hospitality and warmth from local workers. Not many smiles here. I typically tip well, but they didn't seem to want us there and the experience really dampened my entire party's mood.

I almost never write reviews, but Matt and the Chef deserve some recognition!…read more It was honestly hard finding good food in Jackson Hole as we are picky eaters, but this place was so good we came back twice. The fried chicken pasta was delicious - the chicken was sooo juicy. The truffle pasta was also really good. Matt works at the bar, and he made the whole experience even better. There wasn't a hostess when we walked in, but he noticed us and got us seated. We also ate at the bar another night and noticed how much he genuinely goes out of his way for everyone. Even if he's not your server, he makes sure you're taken care of. He handles negative situations really well too, even when things like food delays aren't his fault. Super friendly, great attitude, and just naturally good at what he does. Honestly, service at some other places in Jackson Hole has been pretty disappointing, so Matt really stood out and left a great impression on us.

A thoroughly enjoyable evening and dinner…read more Possibly the best ribeye I've had in the past 10 years, but the other "foam and powder"aspects of the dish were just silly. The so called General Tso steak sauce was like a thimbleful smear and completely irrelevant. BBQ Ramen seasoning? Not even enough to get a taste profile of it. The trout with a green curry sauce was good but again, ummmm.... Trout has a subtle flavor. Green curry coconut sauce, and stuffed with another type of Asian something something....might as just as well better to use a neutral tasting fish like a better quality tilapia imho. Let trout taste like trout. Use a different, neutral tasting fish for these kinds of sauces and fillings. Well at least it wasn't covered with a garnish of micro greens lol. Just a little cilantro heh heh heh. I mean don't get me wrong. Both entrees were okay. But a waste of quality fish when a less costly fish would have been fine what with all those other flavors. And the foam and powder embellishments on the steak were barely noticeable. The whole menu reads like a community college cooking school graduate little bit of this little bit of that. When I get home I'm going to have fun writing the different components of all the menu items on index cards, shuffle, and see what combinations come up each time. And I love the idea of a General Tso steak sauce and want to try creating one. And using a packet of Ramen seasoning instead of Cajun seasoning sounds like a fun thing to try. I just won't do it on a fifty dollar piece of meat. If you are counting calories you skip the gross doughnut hole dessert. Dense ball of dough. Gummy. Like they used a cake doughnut recipe instead of a yeast doughnut or beignet recipe. But if not counting calories , go for it. It's fun to try the sauces, even if not that great a doughnut. Great, festive, lively ambiance . Super friendly staff and service.

Wow Really Good!…read more SPICY RIGATONI ALLA' VODKA Very good - not spicy at all - medium portion size. CACIO E PEPE Also rigatoni. Very good. Leans into the pepper just right, as it should. FRIED MOZZARELLA W/ MARINARA 6 large pieces (each is almost double a standard mozzarella stick). It's fried cheese so not surprisingly it was very tasty! SERVICE We had a great server - super attentive. She had big earrings and turquoise eye liner. I hope you get her too! : ) AMBIANCE Ok, so this is where pictures don't do it justice. It's really nice! Inside and outside. Somehow the pictures posted online look like crap in my opinion. It's a truly great spot for a casual date or dinner out with a large group. FINAL THOUGHT FOR OWNER(S) Throw a handful more rigatoni in for your pasta dishes. $30 is quite a bit for what seemed like a half or kids portion. Thanks so much! : )

Especially in the cold winter months in Jackson Hole. The wine recommendation from our waitress was amazing. It has become my new favorite. The olives and mozzarella sticks were amazing appetizers and perfect for sharing. I'm still dreaming about the sauce. The pastas were delectable and melted in your mouth. The spicy rigatoni was definitely spicy, but I could not stop eating it! The restaurant is a little on the outskirts of the main town, but it's perfect for enjoying a night there. You can walk around, shop, and then enjoy a delicious meal!

5 stars. No notes. Absolute culinary witchcraft…read more Listen... I am NOT a lamb guy. Lamb and I have historically had a very casual, distant relationship. But the server convinced me to order the signature rack of lamb at The Blue Lion and I swear it was one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my entire life. I'm not exaggerating when I say I almost cried at the table. At one point I stopped talking entirely and just stared at the plate like I was having a spiritual experience. Was it expensive? Yes. Did they offer my wife a birthday dessert? They did not. Did I briefly consider licking the plate in public anyway? Also yes. None of it matters because that lamb transcended earthly cuisine. I will be 87 years old in a rocking chair still whispering about "that lamb in Jackson Hole." I don't know what dark culinary pact was made in that kitchen, but I support it fully. I swear... I will dream about that lamb.

Amazing food. Smaller menu but well done. Something for everyone. The lamb was the stand out. Elk…read moretenderloin was also great but the lamb was the table favorite. Service was lackluster for the ambiance and food quality. I'd go back for the lamb, but look elsewhere for a total dining experience where service stood as good as food.

This is a fun and lively spot where you can dance the night away to live country music. And the decor? This place is as Western as you can get. You have to sit at their famous saddles at the bar. I didn't love ordering the food at a window instead of being able to order it at the bar. It breaks the flow a bit. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, perhaps not a Midwest classic, but it was surprisingly delicious. Overall, 4 stars - check out their retail store full of Million Dollar Cowboy Bar merchandise.

I had my reservations about the spaghetti due to the egg on top, but when you mix it in, it adds to much flavor! And there is no red sauce on the spaghetti. The bread was good, the charred edges gave it flavor. Definitely tasted home made. The Panna cotta was very good but it was more thick like flan. It was also a very large portion. The smores dessert is served hot and bubbly but didn't have as much flavor. The tiramisu was to die for! Definitely recommend it! The afgotta would have been better with alcohol in the coffee. The burrata salad was very fresh and flavorful. The Caesar salad is not shown but it was delicious and very large. You are able to share this with several people at the table. Service was great! Everyone was kind and friendly. If you are in a large party they include the 20% tip and they will not split up the check. So not very group friendly. The ambiance is dark and romantic. It is actually so dark that it is hard to see inside.

We…read morealmost didn't go, because there was no availability all night on Open Table, but we decided to just walk in and they had plenty of tables to choose from. We started our meal with the crostata - the whipped ricotta was very tasty. We followed that with the classic Caesar, which was more than enough for 4 people to share. For my entree, I got the fusilli gigante, which was excellent. Good flavor and just the right amount of spice. Others in the party ha the casarecce and the Ray cavatelli and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. The portion sizes were excellent for an Italian restaurant. Just the right amount!

I took some leftovers home, so I got to enjoy the food over two days. That was appreciated since the cost was definitely in the mid-range. It was worth it though. I'd 100% come back and try more when I'm in the area again.

I loved that the kids were able to play outside in the yard while the adults chatted over appetizers and waited on the mains and pizzas. We had some of their fresh Woodfire, pizzas, chicken, Parmesan, and salmon. Everyone loved their dishes. the pizzas were big enough for 2 to 3 of the kids to split the chicken Parmesan was also a very healthy portion, and the salmon was delightful. I would order the salmon again without hesitation. The chefs cooked it perfectly to my request. Service was also attentive and friendly.
