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.

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.

With so many strong restaurants in Jackson, this one didn't stand out as one we would revisit…read more Our server was lovely--friendly, attentive, and clearly doing their best. Unfortunately, the bar was painfully slow. Our first round of drinks took about 15 minutes, and the second took closer to 30 minutes after ordering. We eventually had to check in to make sure they were even coming. The food was fine, but not something we'd come back for. The elk pasta lacked the depth and richness you expect from a bolognese. The trout--poblano stuffed and curry-prepared--was an interesting idea, but the curry completely overpowered the fish, making the dish feel unbalanced. We had curry-dusted trout at The Blue Lion earlier in the week that was far better. (One of the best trout meals I've ever had.)

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!

Tough time finding a place in Jackson on a Saturday night without reservations. Good ole trusty…read moreYelp steered us to this place. Busy but they had space at the bar luckily. Plopped down and tried one of their cocktails. Tasty Sicilian Blonde it was named.... It was good. Tried the calamari app and it was the standard frozen type that is rubbery. Huge portion though but I wouldn't order it again. Pastas were good. Big portions and the fave was the sausage pasta. The butternut squash dish was not what I expected. Doesn't make it wrong. More of a deconstructed version. Overall a good find in a pinch.

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.

Very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend ordering it. I also ordered the trout, which unfortunately did not live up to the rest of the meal. It lacked flavor and was the weakest dish at the table. On the plus side, they have a solid drink selection. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so reservations are recommended. We walked in without one and were seated within about thirty minutes. The wait was spent in the lounge area, which was cozy, and they served drinks while you wait. Overall, worth visiting, especially for the lamb.

If you're in Jackson and want the full Western experience, you can't skip the iconic Million Dollar…read moreCowboy Bar. From the moment you walk in, it feels like stepping onto a movie set in the best way possible. First off: the saddle bar stools. Yes, they're real saddles, and yes, they're as fun as they sound. The rustic wood interior, antler chandeliers, and classic country vibe make this place feel authentically Wyoming without being cheesy. It's lively, loud, and exactly what you hope for in a legendary cowboy bar. The drinks are solid and poured generously. Expect classic cocktails, cold beer, and whiskey options that fit the setting. Prices are about what you'd expect for a popular spot in a tourist town, but the atmosphere makes it worth it. If there's live music, even better. The dance floor fills up quickly with a mix of locals, visitors, and the occasional person in full Western gear. It's not a quiet, intimate cocktail lounge. It's a high-energy, boots-on-the-floor kind of place. Perfect for a fun night out, people-watching, or just soaking in that Old West charm. Pro tip: Go later in the evening if you want the full party vibe. And go later if you definitely want a photo on those saddle seats! It's practically a rite of passage!

Review: Iconic Vibes, Skip the Kitchen…read more If you're coming to Jackson, you have to stop by the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar at least once. It is the definition of an iconic Western watering hole. The atmosphere is unbeatable--sitting on the saddle barstools is a rite of passage, and the live band they had playing was absolutely fantastic. They really know how to pick talent that keeps the energy high and the dance floor moving. The service was also top-notch; despite the crowd, the staff was attentive, fast, and kept the drinks flowing with a great attitude. The Pro Tip: Enjoy the neon lights and the music, but skip the food upstairs. It's just not where they shine. Instead, head downstairs to the Million Dollar Steakhouse. The quality difference is night and day--the steak was phenomenal and well worth the visit. Come here for the legendary vibes, the great service, and the live music, but save your appetite for the basement!

It is sort of tapas style and goes nice if you decide to eat family style. The entrees are sort of medium sized portions, so, in most cases if you share with one person you should get 2-3 dishes. If you have a light appetite, though, one of the pastas would be plenty for you. We got the Caesar salad, the elk bolganaise, and the short rib. Everything was good. They made me a couple standard Old Fashioneds different than the menu option, which were excellent. It was a new Rye to me so I took a picture of the bottle to get some at home. Prices were on the high side, but service and quality were good. My drink was $22 which, frankly was a little obscene for an Old Fashioned with a "mid-range" rye, but I was on vacation and I still had a 2nd. LOL. It was great. It's just a lot for a drink. If you want to go over the top, they also have a Tomahawk steak for $126 that I'm sure is excellent. A lot of folks were getting the bone marrow which looked good. Entrees seemed to be around $30 each. I would go back. I liked sitting at the bar and talking to people. Bartenders were really great about spacing out the food so things didn't come on top of one another.

Heard great things about Glorietta Trattoria so booked it when visiting Jackson Hole this weekend…read more It did not disappoint. First, it's located in what was a killer old house in downtown. Open style kitchen and a gathering waterhole type bar. Note: the seats at the bar reserve faster than the tables. After seeing the insides I can see why. Simply amazing. Our waitress knew the menu front to back with all the nuances. When we asked what some of her favorites were. She literally rattled off 1/2 the menu. Menu is not over sized, on purpose. Every dish is well thought out and executed to perfection. Note #2: the Ceasar Salad is enough for 2 or more! And it's fantastic. About the only thing I could suggest to be better here is if management had pre-printed "Cowboy hat etiquette" cards to hand out to the patrons who arrive with hats. Lots of hats. Not a lot of true understanding for Cowboy Hat etiquette. From casual to formal, hats are off while sitting and dining. Highly recommend Glorietta Trattoria. Just remember to take your hat off at the table.
