We started with the daily special flatbread. I don't recall everything that was on it, but it had garlic, goat cheese, apple, and huckleberry sauce, and it was delicious! My wife had a beautiful Montana Sunset cocktail that she said was very good, although a tad sweet for her. For dinner, she had the filet, which was cooked perfectly. I had what may have been the best hanger steak I've ever had. This place definitely did not disappoint. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great experience all around. We'll definitely be back!

Normally, a shot and a half (martini portion) is charged with an up charge fee. Even at double shot price should have been $16 - so way overpriced. The other is simply an extreme annoyance.

We did end up having to wait about 40 mins for a table and like other reviews, the price point was a little high for Montana. But we are glad we tried it. The place itself is so very very beautiful. Our server knew we were on a time crunch and was so great about getting us our food and check. I ended up getting the Ranchers Benny and hubs got the shakshuka. We were both happy with our selections and would most likely come back if we were in town.

Not worth the price point. The café is beautiful and very aesthetic inside, but I was disappointed…read moreby the cleanliness. I arrived right when they opened, yet several seats still had crumbs on them. The service was quick, though not overly warm or welcoming. I also found it odd that the drink menu is printed separately on paper instead of being included on the main menu--it feels less polished than the rest of the space. As someone who eats plant based, I'd love to see vegan items clearly labeled on the menu and at least one more substantial vegan entrée option. I ordered the Powerhouse Overnight Oats for $22. They were actually quite tasty and surprisingly filling. However, at that price, I expected a little more. The chia seeds were dry rather than fully hydrated, and consuming dry chia seeds on their own is generally discouraged because they absorb liquid after being eaten. One final suggestion: please include menu prices on your website. It makes it much easier for customers to decide before visiting.

The food scene in Missoula definitely surpassed our expectations given its size. Boxcar was the…read moreperfect start to our evening. The decor inside was unique and inviting, but a little smaller than expected. From a service standpoint, our server was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. My only small critique was that the service felt a little more casual than I expected given how elevated and polished the restaurant is. Nothing that negatively affected our experience, but a slightly more refined style of service would have felt more cohesive with the atmosphere and overall dining experience. Started with escargot, steak tartare, and ossetra caviar service. The rye bread that comes with the tartare and escargot was very herbal and complimented everything very nicely. The blinis that came with the caviar were made fresh and very tasty, I think they were made with buckwheat. While tasty, they did overwhelm the flavor of the caviar a bit. Paired the starters with a glass of cremant, very good! Entrees again were all very good. The table shared steak frites with bernaise, caille farcie (quail), pork pané, and sea bass grenoblois. All of the sauces were balanced and paired well with their proteins. The sea bass could have used a little more seasoning. Shared a bottle of Soter Pinot, paired great with the quail, pork and steak. Finished off the meal with a lemon meringue, bread pudding, and espresso. Everything was really good, the foie gras caramel on the bread pudding adding a nice savory element. The lemon custard was a little thin, but the custard to tart shell ratio was perfect. Will definitely be back next time we visit Missoula!

And as the craft beer industry is very noticeable in it's shrinkage in size from the past year or so distilleries, meaderies and wineries may be something we will need to explore more frequently as well. Hidden Legend was a winery or meadery that I haven't tried before and I was instantly drawn in to it. Discovering new places to me is always exciting and keeps thing interesting for me. For Hidden Legend, Steve and I had their Apple Mead Cyser which was an apple mead as indicated in the title and in flavor it had a very noticeable presence of that fruit. It was almost like a cider as we kept it chilled like a dry cider but had the thickness of a mead which put a fun spin to the flavor profile. And of course the presence of honey was detected also like you should expect with a mead giving this particular mead a pleasant and natural sweetness. A very nice change of pace was achieved here and feel like a revisit of their other mead options should be in order.
