There is no way this is anything less than a 5-star review. My wife and I have decided that as long…read moreas we live in Montana, an anniversary dinner at Harwood House will be our tradition. This was our second visit, and it only confirmed what we already knew: this place is a true hidden gem. It is well worth the drive for anyone looking for an incredible meal and a beautiful drive to get there. The menu is exactly what you want it to be--focused, high-quality, and ideal for anyone who appreciates a great steakhouse with a Montana twist. We started with the steamer clams; they recently updated the broth, and it is phenomenal. My only "critique" is that it's served with two small pieces of bread when you really need at least six to soak up every drop of that new broth! Last year, the Prime Rib and medallions were incredible, but you have to branch out to see what this kitchen can really do. I went with the Bison Filet--perfectly cooked, generous portioning, and served over delicious mashed potatoes and broccolini. My wife had the Peppered Bison Tenderloin Linguini; the flavors were layers deep and the portion was so filling that she actually had a great lunch to bring home. Our server, Jubal, was the highlight of the evening, honestly can't say enough good things about him. He was knowledgeable, professional, and possessed an impressive amount of patience. We watched him spend 15 minutes gracefully explaining everything from wine vintages to basic steak temperatures to a very demanding table nearby. He handled it with total class and never missed a beat with our own service. We certainly won't be waiting another year to return. If you haven't made the trip out here yet, you are missing out on one of the best dining experiences in the state.

Some of the best pasta I've had out in a long time and very generous portions. You can upgrade to their in house made pasta, don't skip out on that. We tried the chicken Parmesan, super tender chicken and a very well balanced and seasoned marinara. And also tried the Tucson shrimp pasta... OMG! Lemon, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, capers, artichokes OH MY! Space is small so make a reservation if you are traveling from afar. Super charming interior, fast and friendly staff!

We can tell the difference between washed & stained vs. unwashed & filthy. I picture bare hands going into the food as it's prepared. It's cute but can have a lot of bugs/wasps outside. They are rather pricey for no view & traffic noise. Food can be hit or miss - I wonder the freshness of some of the more unusual dishes - how often are they ordered or how long are they frozen? The HUGE downside for me is the owner attempting to leave reviews. Beyond bad form. 3 reviews removed by Yelp and 1 "not recommended". Makes me wonder if they have left other reviews under a false name? Tacky & pretty low class.

When I walked in and saw all that they had, I wished I wasn't so full so I could have tried more than just ice cream. That just means, I'll definitely be back for lunch and more sweet treats. I got 2 scoops of ice cream: cotton candy and huckleberry with a hot latte coffee. My friend got a scoop of huckleberry cheesecake with a white chocolate mocha. My ice cream was super tasty and the latte hit the spot. The ambience was quaint and cozy. The barista was smiling and friendly and even let us take a paper menu to go. When asked, she did inform me that the ice cream flavors change on a regular basis and more often during the summer. I can't wait to come back to try a new drink and dessert.

He was able to give it back for them to cook more. It ended up being good. My chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes had gravy on it that tasted like it came from a packet, not to mention that the potatoes tasted like they had chopped up real potatoes and added them to instant potatoes. A soup or salad as well as a dinner roll was included, but the soup, Tomato soup, tasted like pizza sauce, and the salad had about three different toppings to choose from. So not impressive. And we never did get our dinner roll. A dessert was included, but the server took our dinner plates away and never offered the choices for dessert. She was gone for 10 to 15 minutes at a time without checking on us. She brought us our bill and we had to actually ask for the dessert that was included. It ended up that the desserts we requested were not available. Due to the lack of options,the server was nice enough to subtract one of the entrees from our dinner bill. The server was nice but unknowledgeable of what meals the restaurant was out of, how often to come and check on us, or how to communicate with us regarding the bill (we didn't know that we had to go up front to pay, so we sat for 15 minutes and had to call her over). We will never eat here again.

Went up to the order counter to let them know we arrived for our 3 small pizzas and bread sticks and to additionally order drinks, a salad, and a cup of broccoli cheddar soup. Pizza-wise we got: a sun-dried pesto garlic, a classic pepperoni, and a veggie no mushrooms. Our pizzas were oven hot and all delicious. Pizza sticks were great too and I really enjoyed my broccoli cheddar soup--it was really cheesy! The young ladies working tonight did a fabulous job and always do! We've never had a bad experience, making it a consistent favorite.

They were slowly knocking out other orders... but after being in the restaurant for an hour, and listening to the young people in the back laughing etc,my husband went up and asked about it... the young man seemingly in charge... told him 6 min! Well after 15 min and clearly seeing that our pizza wasn't even in the oven , my husband just said we needed to leave, and needed a refund and the youngish man very disrespecting just waved him off, as if to say no refund was coming our way! A local outside told us he was the owners son! Well that stinks for the owner! We wound up walking up A block or so to a very nice place called The Royale where we received a beautiful meal with absolutely fantastic service... so good came out of it!
