I've NEVER experienced it in Montana but market on front has SO many delicious options for every dietary preference. I decided on a portobello pesto sandwich on ciabatta and it was 10/10. The bread, texture and flavor were perfect! Although I was just visiting, I'd be shocked if there were a better sandwich shop in this town. There is also a grab and go and souvenir section that's very convenient. It was busy and we did have to wait a while for our orders but it was so worth the wait. If you're craving a sandwich or a wrap, this is your place.

Their coffee was great and they also had some great herbal iced tea. I was so happy to find a selection of veggie sandwiches and subs on the menu. The one that I had was really good and very fresh tasting. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the very slow service. Usually, I don't care, but for those who just want to grab something quick, it would have been a problem. Wish we had more time in Missoula. I would have tried something else!

Last weekend I texted a friend and asked if she and her hubby wanted to joint me and my hubby.....she responded YES!!!! Oh, my. Why don't I make time every time I visit Missoula? The food is amazing! They've added onto the building probably 3-4 times over the year reflecting how popular they are. The ambiance is a bit like going to Grandma's house. It's not super upscale....but comfy and homey. Plenty of parking and some outdoor seating for summer. They are open Fri/Sat...Sun? You pick from the list of maybe 4 appetizers, 6+ entrees....having a sample of wine while you "shop". Before you are seated you have a chance to view the 5 different homemade breads you may order with dinner, and the 5 or so homemade desserts. Once you are seated....you order what you want. Of course, we always order too much. The portions are BIG. We had a nice bottle of wine (they also have beer), an AMAZING pumpkin ravioli, sampled 2 of the breads (garlic knots and sun dried tomato bread), dinner comes with salad....then came the HUGE entree. I had the Misto Mare (this included calamari, clams, shrimp, with a choice of sauce and pasta...I had clam sauce and fettuccine). It was delicious! They had these tasty fried squash blossoms on the side of the plate...yummy. This is a family-run business. I remember when the children used to serve us water and bring our silverware. It's still family... so they are not open all winter as they travel to the south. Call to find out days/times they are open....be prepared to eat a lot....and to be blown away by the food! Thank you for not disappointing after being away for so many years!

The caesar dressing was good, the seasonings on the chicken also tasted great too! I also shared some artichoke dip with my dad and we both enjoyed it! It has a little bit of cheese on the top of it and thick and chunky artichoke pieces! The service is amazing, The lady was checking in on us every once in a while, as well as asking us if we needed more of certain things such as a refill for our drinks or more ranch dressing! The ambiance is nice, the lights are at the perfect setting, not too bright but not too dim either! The music they played is good too! The decor is very rustic feeling, but in the prettiest way possible! The noise wasn't too loud either, despite how busy it was! Such a nice place!

My hotel highly recommended I come here while I was in town…read more I am really glad I did. It's such a cool spot for Missoula. The inside has a log cabin kind of vibe. It's great food and steaks without being at all pretentious. Very on brand for Missoula. The crabcake is the 2nd best I've ever had. It was big and thick and full of fresh crab. I highly suggest you eat it with the arugula. It really adds that herby peppery flavor that you want. We got a couple cocktails. There is one with rum and banana. I didn't get pics, but it was so good. I got the huckleberry cocktail, and it was exactly how huckleberry should be. Not super sweet. We got the shrimp scampi, and I felt like it needed some pasta or rice or something. The only starch offered was potato or fries. The soup and Cesar were good. They didn't blow me away, but they were solid. This is why I gave 4 starts and not 5. The best part of the evening was our fantastic sever. He was fun and approachable and really took care of us. Everyone is super friendly and cool. I would come back here. 100%

I also really appreciated that they offer several vegan options. I ordered the Creamy Blue Smoothie and the Banana Walnut Oatmeal. The oatmeal was absolutely AMAZING--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best breakfasts I've had here. It's the item I'd recommend to everyone. The smoothie was good overall, but the fresh mint was a bit overpowering and left an aftertaste for me. I think it would be even better without the mint or with less of it. I also appreciated that they use compostable straws, although mine was cracked when I unwrapped it. Later, I came back for lunch and ordered the half Brussels Caesar Salad with the vegan protein. The vegan protein (chickpeas and lentils) was delicious, and the half portion was surprisingly large. I also liked that the dressing came already tossed throughout the salad. One thing I found a little confusing was that the Brussels Caesar uses a vegan dressing but is topped with cheese, so I'd be curious what substitution is offered for guests ordering it vegan. The bread was good, although the butter was served very cold and was difficult to spread. A few suggestions that could make the experience even better: * Add a larger "Basal" sign above the entrance to make the restaurant easier to spot. * Install a large wall-mounted menu inside for easier viewing. * Keep tables and chairs wiped down throughout the lunch rush. The restaurant was spotless during breakfast, but by lunchtime several tables and seats needed cleaning. Given the price point, I'd expect a bit more attention to dining room upkeep. Overall: good atmosphere, friendly staff, and good food. I recommend the Banana Walnut Oatmeal.
