The cocktails are also excellent--they're actually made next door, which is a little unusual, but they're always great. The food is good and flavorful, but for us it has never quite crossed over into being exceptional, especially for the price point. The pasta isn't homemade, and while we've enjoyed the steaks and other dishes we've tried, I think you can find equally good food for less money elsewhere. That said, there's a reason we've been back five times! It's a really pleasant place to have dinner, the location is hard to beat, the drinks and service are great, and we've always had a nice evening. I'd put it somewhere around 3 1/2 stars--good and enjoyable, just not quite remarkable.

And at night, I hit up the tri-fecta of bars that includes The Rialto. I love the old historic charm of this place. It's so beautiful. Liquor in Montana is super cheap, so we had an amazing time chatting with the bartender and indulging. We met some really friendly regulars who didnt mind sharing their bar with us. I love this place. That blonde bartender is a sweetheart! She let my boyfriend take her picture next to the liquor prices and everything! Thanks Rialto. See you and your gorgeous neon sign next time. P.S. I love your internet jukebox and pool table.

So I had an interesting experience here…read more I sat down at the bar and asked the bartender if they had a menu. She replied, "Lucca's is closed" referring to the Italian restaurant next door. I replied, "No, a drinks menu" to which she did not give me a menu but said, "Do you like sweet drinks?" At this point I had no idea where this conversation was going but I replied, "No.." and then she said okay and handed me a menu. I asked why and she said that she can make better drinks than what the menu says. She said she only liked a couple drinks on the menu (ginger basil martini, prairie press, and maybe the huckleberry mule and that's it) and she also does not recommend any of the wines. The brutal honesty is good for me and bad for the bar, but some saleswoman she is I guess? Who knows. I asked her if she was the only person who had these strong opinions about the menu and she said no and that all the bartenders felt the same way. If everyone feels the same way about them and they're the ones who have to serve customers then they should make a change right? It's just weird that you have that attitude towards the business and then project that toward the customers. I said I'd listen to her recommendations and ordered the ginger basil martini ($12) which was actually pretty good. It's refreshing and slightly sweet from the sugar rim. She mentioned that she made the drink less sweet because she knew that I didn't like sweet drinks and then went on that menus can't offer the same personalization as a bartender who listens. I mean I guess the intention is good that she wants to be able to personalize cocktails to the customer's taste preferences but again the attitude of going on and on about how you're a great and thoughtful bartender just rubbed me the wrong way. For my second drink I wasn't going to order off the menu so I asked if she could make a last word. She didn't know what that was and I told her how to make it. She replied, "I don't know what green chartreuse is." I said, "Okay never mind, how about a paper plane?" Again she did not know what that was and I listed the ingredients and she said, "What's amaro?" At this point I'm frustrated so I just ordered an old fashioned ($12). You go on and on about how you can get creative and make a variety of drinks but you don't even know what green chartreuse or amaro are. So you're not as knowledgeable of a bartender as you think you are. The same type of attitude and boastfulness happened after the second drink as it did the first. I seriously couldn't wait to finish my drink and get out of there which never happens. It felt like lazy bartending for not amazing cocktails for craft cocktail prices. The negativity and complaining is just not the vibe I want at a bar. Another note: the men's restroom does not lock but not just that, it does not close all the way so it's always slightly open outward and I don't know why no one has bothered to fix that. Many things are very wrong here; I don't how to fix them but it just didn't give me a good vibe and left a bad taste in my mouth.
