The smash burger was so thin and crunchy and burnt and I couldn't even eat the fries but my aunt loved them. The pasties special was good with the gravy, very hearty, special portion 2 pasties was enough. Huckleberry options were good. The bathroom was cute. Server was new but polite. I wanted to give 1 stars for the horrible smash burger alone but everything else about the experience was pleasant so went up. read more

Popped in here for early dinner. Forgot it was Valentine's Day and we didn't have a reservation. They graciously accommodated us anyway. The food was great and the bartender Adriana gave great recommendations for food and was a lovely person. You have to stop in here and get the bison tartare! read more

Too expensive for BOZEMAN The steaks and even the burgers are just too expensive for that kind of meal. This is BOZEMAN not the Yellowstone club.! read more

The food was so delicious with such intriguing herbs. The trout was especially delicious with some sweet potato mash. I highly recommend this delicious spot. The service was excellent with friendly staff! read more

Food selection was good. Service was speedy even on a busy night. Environment was welcoming.

Sweet little spot in Old Town Bozeman. Found with the help of trusty Yelpers! Thanks guys! Arrived after the lunch rush and before Happy Hour so it was quiet. We ordered Smash Burgers, one with a side of fries and one with a side salad. Absolutely delicious! Fries were perfect and the side salad was a cut above. Nice mix of field greens with a small amount of iceberg which added crunch and body. Do order the white wine vinaigrette! Since it was slow, had a nice conversation with our very personable server, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely give this place a try! read more

I rarely leave reviews but this place is definitely good enough for an exception! So unbelievably tasty. I have eaten here a couple times and everything has always been fantastic. Working in kitchens my whole life and now owning my own restaurant makes me even more in tune with what food can be elevated to, and this place has made me realize how much higher the quality of food could possibly be. The price is absolutely worth it and I couldn't recommend this place any more. Good portions. Not pretentious. Phenomenal service. Down to earth delicious! read more

We rarely go out, but we are so glad we did. We had the croquettes and Waldorf salad to start. They were a perfect starter. The burger is just delicious...so juicy cooked just perfectly. I'm pretty picky. I will try the smash burger next time. The rib eye was pricey but worth it. It paired well with simple veggies and mashed potatoes done right. We'll stay for dessert next time. Service and ambiance were great. Thank you for a great night out. read more

I spent my birthday night at Bitter Root. The food, service and ambiance were perfect! read more

Very much enjoyed dinner here tonight. Chicken was delicious. Burger with a gluten-free bun was equally good. The lemon posset desert was superb. Service was friendly and attentive. The menu is on the shorter side so do take a look before going. My sense is that everything they serve will be enjoyable. read more

I took my fiancé to Bitterroot Bistro for his birthday and we had a fabulous time! It is a small restaurant but the atmosphere is great and you don't have to worry about noise. You can also walk in and get a seat easily which is a plus. The servers were very friendly and gave great recommendations. We started with the beef pasties. They were very flavorful and the perfect sized appetizer. The Waldorf salad and homemade spiced dressing was delicious. The server let us know that they will split salads & entrees for no extra charge. My fiancé and I decided to shared the ribeye. The photo is of a half portion which I thought was still a lot of food. The steak was seasoned & cooked perfectly! The mashed potatoes were delicious and creamy. We had the lemon posset for dessert. We loved it I didn't even get a chance to snap a picture. Definitely check out Bitterroot Bistro! We thought the prices were worth it for the high quality meal and experience. read more

I have to say, we came to town with no intention of going out to dinner and came across bitterroot, we could have looked better as we had been working in the garage. Austin our waitress greeted us with a smile and the most hospitable service we have gotten in years downtown. The restaurant located just off main is the perfect place to not battle crowds and just enjoy your evening out with the fantastic music and excellent drink selection. The food was out of this world, the best ribeye in the valley by far. Not to mention the trout alone my wife had made me want to come back. This has become bar non out new go to spot! read more

I found it to be overpriced and the food over salted. The one highlight were the mashed sweet potatoes, they were delicious!

The good was outstanding. My husband and I shared a Ribeye, and our party of four started with their out of this world Mac & Cheese - and an order of homemade bread, so sharing the ribeye was plenty, topped off sharing a heavenly crème brûlée ... And the beer was awesome! I had a hazy Montana IPA- yum! Perfection. We had a great table too, and our server was wonderful. I think his name was Matthew. read more

Went during happy hour menu, my group had the salad and soup of the day. Delicious. Also had a wine spritz which was lemon lime for the day as well. Amazing service very fast and kind. Has a fun family feel to it, manager checked in with us a ton! read more

Food was excellent, I had the macaroni and cheese and the tartar, the macaroni and cheese had huge bites of bacon, and the tartar was perfectly seasoned. The service was awesome. The guys even let me charge my phone with one of their chargers A+ customer service if you're looking for chill ambience, and excellent food like a place for you and your partner or you and your friends to chill and chat with some great tapas and great food this is definitely the place. read more

The only bison tartare we found during our whole trip- we loved it! The burger and trout dip were excellent. Get the ranch!

I am happy this place has received so many 5-star reviews. I was hoping that would be my experience too, but it wasn't. Five of us went because 3 people wanted the steak, which they were out of. Really? First disappointment. So, we all ordered burgers medium cooked, as the other items seemed a bit overpriced. When the burgers finally arrived 45 minutes later (with only 2 other tables of people who recently received their burgers), they were cooked very medium rare. Really? Our other disappointment. After waiting so long, there was no way we were going to send them back, but we did mention it to our wait person, who we had to wave over to get water refills. If the burgers weren't a click above rare, they would have been good. And the fries were very good. I'm not sure I would return, but I do wish them the best. read more

Slightly more upscale restaurant in Bozeman for those who want to open their wallets a bit, but the food was great. Portions are a nice size too so you feel like you're getting your money's worth. The stand outs were the appetizers, specifically the trout dip. read more

What a charming find! Had two rich and filled beef pasties (new to me) and a salad , and both were so yummy! Paired with a glass of Sangiovese, also yummy! Hubby had Bison tartare and it was mild yet flavorful, with a side of mac n cheese that was topped with smoky bacon! He paired his meal with a red blend that sang! Cool atmosphere with delicious food and wine... What more could you want? read more

We stumbled in here after Music on Main and were more than pleasantly surprised. We had trout dip, beef tartare and a absolutely fantastic Waldorf salad. Food, service and ambiance were spot on! read more

What a gem! Bozeman has a fabulous addition to it's dining scene. Bitterroot Bistro is great - we had the short ribs and chicken. Both we outstanding - well-prepared and seasoned and absolutely delicious! Most importantly, the service was excellent (thank you Matthew) - attentive and timely. Wine list was excellent. I would say the atmosphere is casual but the food is elevated -- not fancy, but expertly done. Love the decor. So glad Bozeman has a place like this!!! read more

Bitterroot Bistro rocked tonight! Although it was quiet, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The service exceeded expectations - so incredibly accommodating despite the fact that we were a rather silly table. We tried all six appetizers. No misses! The winners were the Trout Dip (OMG!) and the Beef Tartare! Honestly, we couldn't get over what a fun and delicious evening it turned out to be. Please check them out! read more

Best food, service and ambiance I've had in a long while in Bozeman. Please go here, all the food is outstanding. Quite possibly one of my favorite spots in town now. We had Hailey B, she was outstanding and helped us with all of our questions and brought such a wonderful energy to our dining experience we loved! I cannot recommend this place more! read more

Bozeman's hidden gem for now. Our meal and the service was top-notch. I've been in Bozeman since 2006 and seen a lot of new restaurants come and go, but I hope this one is here to stay. read more

They say this space is cursed but each restaurant that has opeated at this location has been amazing (Barley & Vine, Last Call in particular). It's hard to review a restaurant that is in its first week or so of operations so I will just say that the space is NOT cursed and we absolutely need a bistro in this neighborhood. Nothing fancy, just good, Montana-focused bistro food like Bison tartare, steak and a cheese plate. read more

Thank you Hayley, Braden and Kylie (front of house) and chef and kitchen staff for a wonderful experience tonight. The atmosphere is warm and intimate. We came in for a light dinner after the symphony and enjoyed an array of remarkable appetizers that were absolutely delicious. Followed by the best olive oil cake ever, and delightful conversations with the staff, it was the perfect end to our evening. We'll definitely be back. read more

Good food and friendly service. We've been twice and like it. Good wine list. First time there we sat at a table and the second time at the bar. Both experiences were great. Will definitely go back. read more

Great food and atmosphere, excellent service and the best people we've met in a long time. Thanks Matt!

Matthew's service was fantastic!! He was attentive but not pushy. The food was delicious as well. A bit pricey though.

Dined twice here so far and will continue coming back. Bison tenderloin is the best in town and the service is excellent. Don't sleep on this place, it's a refreshing addition to the Main St. dining scene. A++ read more

What really stood out for me was how much flavor all of our dishes had. We ordered bison tartare, house salad, pasties and the veggie burger. It's always a gamble when you order a veggie burger but this one held firm and had so much flavor- it really was THE best one I've ever had. The bison tartare tasted very fresh and was light on the palate- went great with the pinot noir I had. The interior is dark and cozy and there was moody country music playing, which felt right for the experience. The food came out hot and was timed properly. We're happy to have a new neighborhood place to walk to for happy hour and dinner! read more

The interior of this space is cozy and not too cramped, but truly the high quality of my steak was worth the price & the sides complimented the course! Wish I had room to try the dessert, tho. I guess I'll have to come back! read more
