The atmosphere was beautiful, the music was perfect, and the overall experience was amazing. We decided we had to try the buffalo wings, only to discover they're normally served only on the late-night menu. Tragic. Heartbreaking. We nearly had to call our therapists. But then Sheyne came to the rescue. He went out of his way, convinced the chef to make the wings for us, and basically saved the evening--and possibly our friendship with the LA people. If that is not top-tier customer service, I don't know what is. Sheyne deserves a raise, a trophy, and perhaps his own holiday. From now on, I will be bringing every visitor I have to EST 1864--and I sincerely hope Sheyne lives forever. Amazing food, great vibe, excellent music, and unforgettable service. LA approved... which is honestly the highest compliment possible.

We were really disappointed with our experience at 1864, especially considering our bill was $169…read more It took over 30 minutes just to receive a simple vodka soda. Unfortunately, the service didn't improve from there. I ordered the meatballs, and they had to be sent back twice. The first time they came out cold. The second time they came back mushy that they were inedible. After the second attempt, I asked to have the meatballs removed from the bill since I never received an acceptable dish. Instead of trying to make it right, the bartender told me they would not remove them from the check. Everyone can have an off night, but what really left a bad impression was the lack of customer service and unwillingness to correct the problem. For the amount we spent, I expected much better food, service, and a willingness to stand behind what was served.

High marks on the location and environment, truly great use of the space and love how you can gauge the line ahead of ordering. If it's out the door, a solid 20-25 minutes before you order. Seating is after you order, but be mindful of others and don't have someone in your party go reserving a spot until you are 3-4 parties back from ordering. This takes away from people who are waiting for their food ahead of you and needing a seat. The tables turn over fairly quickly. My wife and I have both tried something different to eat every visit.

Stopped there on 7-10-2026 from a recommendation from the hotel that we spent the night at before…read morewe flew out the next day, what a mistake. Walked into the place and they sat us down into a freezing room. The waitress told us that it would get warmer as the crowd shows up. We told them that we were freezing and they still did not offer to move us. Fortunately we were going to miss the crowd since we weren't going to stay there for 4-5 hours for them to show up to exhale enough carbon dioxide to warm the room up. So my wife orders the salmon dish and it came with two sides, she couldn't chose the sides, the dish had broccoli and salad. I order the filet mignon, baked potato and salad and specifically inform the waitress that I want my steak to be cooked "medium". Not "medium rare or medium well done", because the cooks always get it wrong depending on the thickness of the steak if they have a mediocre chef. Well she brings the salads out, can't mess up the salads, right? Salads look mediocre at best, small, nothing to brag about. Still freezing our asses off in the room. The meals are arriving, yeah... My wife's salmon plate was on fire as she bringing it out. The wooden platter that the fish was placed on was on fire which was burning/charr-broiling (crispy) the end of the salmon, the waitress put the fire out as she sat it down on the table, I shit you not!!! She sat my steak and bake potato down. The potato is a nice sized one and cooling off due to the room being so cold and it's got butter on it and the butter is not even melting, so I'm like okay. The waitress (bless her heart) asked me to cut into my steak to verify that it's cooked to my standard before she walks away and asked me if I wanted anything else, why yes I do, I want some A-1 steak sauce like I asked for before. I cut the steak open and it's rare to medium rare. Take it back and get it right. At this point if the A-1 sauce had been there with everything else going on, I would have eaten the steak, took my losses and left and gave her a poor tip. Bam, she comes back with plate which is splattering grease on me (I have a white pullover shirt on) and the table with one of those little ketchup tubs half-way full of some type of steak sauce. You know the type that you pump into the little cups where you get the flatware from and tells me it's @ 350 degrees or some shit like that. At this point, I'm done. I don't care if blood is pouring out of the piece of meat, a little bit of steak sauce, a frozen baked potato, it's going down. Nothing like having a filet that's burnt crispy on the ends, good crispy burnt crunchy tasting and getting to a medium pink middle, what a transition. I used to grill like that. My wife did love her salmon, she didn't eat the broccoli, it would have been nice if she had a choice on her side. The waitress asked if we wanted desert, I just ignored her after that. Got my check, poor tip and left. I think that the salad or meal gave me diarrhea in the evening at the hotel. I had indigestion and diarrhea all night long and the next morning. I had to go over to a local store and buy some stop the flow pills just so that we could fly out of town that day. The funny thing is that Rib & Chop House sent a survey link to fill out and when I went to fill it out, that's why I'm doing this one, I started out with a poor rating. Then they send you a verification code to start it, the code wouldn't work, resend, it wouldn't work. I was really done then.

What caught me was the local charm, the attention to each detail - from the name, to the art, the glass, the kitchen, the blend with its surroundings and unique style. What also caught me was that it was a little spot kinda of hidden and truly only locals recommended, it wasn't in the hotel post card recommendations it was in the confidence of a restaurant server. And just like that I felt transported to this moment in time all mine; it brought me to my childhood as I see Felix the cat on the walls, it brought me to the comfort of homemade, the menu is fun and one of a kind - it has its own set of rules. The options are also fun whimsical not boring but fun and tasty combinations. Great chef's, staff price, management and ownership. The prices as unbeatable, the breakfast sandwich options are delicious mine was a delicacy of flavors. You can also have all the traditional breakfasts if that is your thing and I bet they will do a great job. Service is relax and attentive, they welcome you in a way that not many other places do. Maybe it's the Montana way but gosh what a shame it was to leave. When I return to Bozeman I will visit again without a doubt. In a world where everything is the same places like this must be cherished. It's not a hidden jam but a keepsake.
