This restaurant has been fantastic for the 30+ years since we first came here. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic, the service was super, and the food nearly five star! Highly recommend the Wellington! Well done! read more

The restaurant of Chico hot springs is really good! The steak is the best in Montana, I have heard. And I can see why! I don't know how they do it so well in such a short amount of time, they gave me fried ice cream, it was okay, I just think it wasn't my taste, the service was good! The waiter was nice and even funny! And the ambiance felt perfectional, dark amd quiet... for the morning anyway, the food is just as good in the morning than it is at night, for one thing, I think that the lines for the food to serve it yourself was kind of chaotic, but I think it was a good idea. The pool is very fun, there is plenty of room to swim and it's a good place to practice, and the hotel! It's cozy. Though when I was there it looked like the windows hadn't been washed in a pretty long time. But Overall I love Chico hot springs! Probably my favorite place to go on a trip! read more

Absolutely an amazing meal! We had the Gorgonzola filet and mushroom pasta. Can't wait to come back!

What a fabulous venue! My brother was staying here, and my sisters and I took advantage of the day pass at the pool, the Thursday water aerobics class, lunch at the poolside grill, and massages at the Day Spa! So much to explore. Excellent service at all venues. read more

What a great meal! Brian, Morgan and Kevin were wonderful, the food was even better and the wine was incredible! If you have a chance to check out the wine cellar, it is awesome. Gorgonzola filet mignon was cooked perfectly. The potatoes au gratin were fantastic, mushroom pasta was amazing and the mud pie and crepe brûlée hit the spot! Thanks again for a wonderful experience. read more

One of the best filet mignon dishes I've ever had! Aside from Beverly Hills and Las Vegas steakhouses I've been to, this place is absolutely incredible. Maybe it's the Wyoming beef? Wonderful crust and so tender it melted in your mouth. French onion soup - so so flavorful and incredibly delicious! I couldn't stop eating this. Kids prime rib - Impressive cut for the little guy! Great value and perfectly prepared. I was so happy to have an option other than hamburger/hotdogs, chicken nuggets or Mac and cheese. The Chico garden supplies their daily vegetables and the green beans were the freshest I've ever had! (I still need to get to French Laundry) The bread gets an honorable mention as well. Freshly baked and served with lovely soft butter. Slight doughy texture with a subtle yeasty-ness...yummy-ness. Can't wait for breakfast tomorrow!!! read more

This was an amazing experience, the restaurant is located in the hotel lobby of a resort! The restaurant provides that complete meal, you always search out! The service and ambiance, we top notch. Go, you won't regret it!! read more

We were looking for a quiet romantic and rejuvenating spot to soak. The atmosphere of the cabin we had is perfect. The pool is super crowded, very loud, and many adults being loud and drunk. Lots of kids, screaming, playing games in the pool with very little oversight. If my kiddos were younger and I was still into partying, this place is great. Not so much for a quiet escape though. Food was excellent and service was good. read more

Is it pricey? Sure. Is it worth it? Yes! The food here is always an experience. Service is impeccable. Let's be honest, they don't have to be excellent, the hotel audience is a bit captive considering there aren't many nearby food options, but I'd still want to eat here even if there were. I ordered filet tips and they were perfectly cooked, tender enough I didn't even need a knife. Veggies were fresh and well seasoned. Only complaint was that I would have liked a few more green beans (because they were really good)! The portions are reasonable, especially since there's nowhere in the rooms to store leftovers. Overall, a delightful way to make a trip to Chico extra luxurious. Just make your reservations early - they do book up! read more

While I didn't find much to recommend about Chico's Hot Spring or lodge, their food service is outstanding. Their evening menu offers a great selection of wonderful entrees, starters and desserts. I recommend the wedge salad, Gorgonzola Filet Mignon with scalloped potatoes, the crab cake and the crème brûlée for dessert. read more

The food is Amazing. My compliments to the new chef. Exelent food,and Exelent service.

Had a reservation for Thanksgiving. The brunch was poorly presented and in the center of the small dining room. Food was off putting and no real options. Chico has changed hands recently and I was surprised how dated and old fashioned it still is in spite of it being part of a corporate group now. Needless to say, very disappointed and it was a long drive for just some pretty scenery. read more

The food was outstanding had the filet mignon incredibly tender best crème brûlée I've ever had crabcakes for great Maddie was the bartender and she was fabulous very efficient and very friendly. Highly recommend us. Great ambiance read more

Always have a great meal in the dining room but forgot how crazy the portions are too. Started with the burrata app, split a wedge, and the Wellington. Took so much home but will enjoy tomorrow. Miranda was our server and she had the best attitude and was so enjoyable (while she was running around helping multiple tables). We will be back again. read more

I'm referencing the formal dining room. Being up front, I have not eaten there is a couple years because I am a poor planner. So... learn from me. Make reservations asap... and if they have the halibut, you can't go wrong (even if you don't usually like fish!). They truly believe in presentation when preparing food... Often plates are adorned with edible, locally grown flowers... If not, guaranteed it will look beautiful! The waiters and waitresses have always been extremely attentive, and the place has fantastic ambience... Even when it's crowded, I don't ever recall hearing the other people talking... Because I consider dining at Chico Hot Sorinfa a special occasion, I like to dress up a bit... but everyone is welcome from shorts and flip flops straight from the river, to suit and tie and cocktail dresses! Enjoy... oh... don't forget to enjoy the view! read more

For years The Dining Room at Chico Hot Sorings was the hands down best restaurant in the Big Sky Country. In the new century it has gained some worthy competitors. But for my money the Dining Room remains the place for a laid back, casual yet completely fulfilling dining experience--and over the course of three nights this summer, I was able to try a range of different options from its well thought out menu. First night I went with old and new items. The old items were the cocktails. If there are better bartenders in Montana I haven't found them yet. Every night the drinks were wonderful. Geez the short rib bison ravioli in a rich cream sauce was almost an entree itself. The halibut was perfectly prepared. Flaky and moist. The second night was what I called Chico old school. Shrimp cocktail--bone cold, great sauce and large serving. Then their new take on Caesar salad--one of the best and freshest I have ever had. Then the prime rib. Chico's early reputation was all tied into their beef--and this throwback dinner was perfect. The last night was centered on the pork chop. Wow, grilled perfectly but so tender. Amazing--maybe my favorite of the three nights especially paired with the Oregon Pinot noir. The wine list is just excellent. Here is the perfect place for the ultimate boozy dinner. Desserts? I stick with two regulars from 40 years ago--the flaming orange and the mud pie. Service? Over the top. Always good, never ever distracted even when short staffed. Again everything is quality, quality and REAL here. If you miss it well you have missed a crucial part of the Montana travel experience read more

Perfect dinner. The staff cares so much and makes every guest feel so special. Bethany guided us through the menu and made such amazing recommendations. There wasn't one person who works here that didn't engage in a fun and inviting way. From Maddie when she sat us at the table to all staff who cleared the table and wrapped our food up! The food was delicious and classic. Perfect night! read more

I have been coming to Chico since I was a kid. They charge $20 for a Burger. I ate one today...hands down the worst burger that I have ever had in my life! It was small, the bun was toasted Rock Hard. Two pieces of tiny bacon. I was just the worst. I ate on the poolside. The service was good tho. read more

I grew up going to this place but they were bought out and are under new management and now it is awful. We tried to add my sister to our reservation and they said they couldn't add her and they charged us $150 for canceling the reservation!!! So crazy! What a horrible experience! read more

Excellent breakfast best in many miles would definitely recommend it to anyone. The staff was great.

Tremendous meal. One of the finest pieces of meat I've ever had. Service was resort worthy and the dining room is reminiscent of a high-end country club. Went back again for the Trout Almondine and was equally pleased. read more

We Love the setting and the hot springs. But... the $20 hamburger in the bar was very disappointing. It was VERY small and overcooked. Probably comparable in size to a $3 children's fast food burger, literally! read more

The restaurant was very nice it gave a rustic feeling the servers was very professional but me and my wife order the beef Wellington for two which was $90.00 dollars. we ask for medium rare when we got it look like medium well done when cut into it. the steak had no seasoning on it and all I tasted was the duck liver and I could cut it with a fork but I known it take time too cook beef Wellington but we sat there over a couple hour and the waiters were very nice about bringing more hot bread for us the mash potatoes was very delicious and the dessert which took time to make everyone love it read more

Terrible, took 40 minutes to get our drinks, hour and a half to get our food. The nachos solidified by the time we got them. They said they have to feed the bar next door which I guess they get angry when it takes 2 hours to get your bad food. Don't go here. read more

The food and service are amazing. As a local, I never hesitate recommending it to others. There's a reason why celebrities have flocked to this place. read more

Beware! They have recently instituted a $50 per person cancellation fee. This was not a case of no-show. I tried to cancel, in person, the morning of the reservation. They were not cooperative and kept doing that thing businesses do lately: it's our policy. I'm sorry- when you're dealing with human beings, especially travelers, life happens and plans necessarily change. Just because big city restaurants have a policy to charge for cancellation doesn't mean Chico Hot Springs can get away with it. read more

Today is the day after we just had THE BEST meal of our trip, maybe the best of the last few years, and we can't stop talking about it. I haven't been to Chico Hot Springs in about 15 years and luckily the menu and the resort haven't changed much. Last time I visited I remember having the Beef Wellington for two, which was so memorable I mentioned it to my wife before we were seated. Lindsey, our server, was friendly, helpful and fast. She allowed for a bit of personal connection and discussion, despite the busy dining room. We ordered a bottle of red wine to compliment our meal. If you enjoy wine, this place literally has something for everyone. With the list ranging from 20$ bottles to $900 bottles, you can definitely find something you'll enjoy. We had the amazing trout appetizer with a garden cream cheese, capers, and tomato. Jaw dropping. Each meal comes with little crisp bread sticks, whipped butter, and a loaf of hearty white bread. Excellent for soaking up the sauces of any of these courses. For dinner I had a filet mignon, with a Gorgonzola topping and a port wine reduction. On the side was a layer of potatoes, think gorgeous scalloped potatoes, and perfectly cooked green beans. My wife had a Steelhead trout, with shaved snap peas over a bed of brown rice. Both of these were magic and we each enjoyed every bite. Then came the magic of dessert. Save room for this. I repeat. Save room for this. They have a desert that is a "44 year tradition". They hollow out an orange and coat the inside with a chocolate shell. Then they refill it with Wilcoxson's vanilla ice and then top it with a orange whipped cream topping. Then. Wait for it. They bring it out on a blazing hot frying pan, fill the pan with a high prod liquor, and light that thing on fire! Yup it crisps the outside of the cream, warms up the orange which is then placed on a beautiful plate table side. This dessert was perfect. Absolutely perfect. We also had a chocolate creme brûlée with a coriander crumble. This dessert, also beautiful. These two desserts ended our meal with bang and left us smiling! The price point for this meal compared to the dining counterparts in Portland, ME, was shocking. This meal would have easily cost over $200 on one of the coasts, but Chico is keeping up with mountain prices and it was $140. For 3 high quality courses and a bottle of wine, we got a great deal. I recommend booking dinner reservations when you book lodging so you don't miss out on this dining experience. read more

The writing was in the wall that this wasn't going to be a great experience. Firstly, with a nearly empty dining room they refused to seat most of us while we waiting on our youngest child to change after the pool. Then during our salads and kids meals, none of the glasses were refilled or cleared. Finally, after waiting over an hour for our meals, we had to leave as it was well past our kids bedtimes. There was no apology or explanation for the excessive wait, other than 'we got busy'. read more

While everything seemed to be very fresh, across the board we found our meals to be under seasoned. The vegetables are grown on site but we're very boring. We liked the bison short rib appetizer the best and we did were a flaming orange for dessert which was fun. read more

Wow, has this place gone down hill. Had the toughest, chewy ribeye of my life. My son orered the same and gave it 1 star. The entire resort is filthy and teeming with deferred maintenance. $600 meal for 5 adults and 1 macaroni eating child. Watered down drinks. Salads were good. Starters, like the steaks, were mid. Bread was boring (we missed their legendary breadsticks). They also got rid of their artichokes with curry/ mayo dip. Mussels were gross. Deserts were excellent. Overall, Applebee's would crush what was once a world-class dining experience. It was below average overall. Hostess was rude and wouldn't seat us until everyone arrived in spite of an empty dining room. Our child and mother were using the restroom. The other 4 in the party were there. The waiter was good. Was so excited to eat here and left so disappointed. Our room was ancient, and the beds were completely shot. read more

I have eaten at Chico many times at Chico over the past 15 years and not even once have I been disappointed. Wine, cocktails, appetizer, steak, halibut, soup, dessert- nothing is every done wrong or less than delightfully. read more

Kind of a rollercoaster experience. The waitstaff was over the top and created some awkward encounters. The drinks were the worst we've ever had--one was wildly bitter and one was incredibly sour. The crostini appetizer was tasty, but messy. The entrees of the beef skewers and mushroom pasta were incredible. They hit it out of the park with those. Reasonable prices. Squarely what you'd expect at a place like Chico. read more

We've been coming to Chico for years and have always looked forward dinner in their wonderful restaurant. But tonight's meal left much to be desired. The soup was just okay, but the whole shrimp that came with it for presentation tasted old and had a gray tint to it. The main course, the beef tenderloin, was cooked perfectly, but was so salty that I almost couldn't eat it. Same with the mashed potatoes. Overall it was a disappointing meal. read more

We had the best time! Four of us had dinner and start to finish it was wonderful. Spectacular service from every person involved. Subtly removing plates, attentive to drinks needing refilled, and very knowledgeable of the wine list. Shane was our server and we enjoyed his humor and gracious service. Gorgonzola steaks gor 3 of us were cooked to perfection and the swordfish was fresh, flaky and flavorful. read more

Ate here 2 times in one day. Our waiter's name was JaJo and he outperformed any waiter I have ever had. I highly recommend the burger, spinach salad or any of the shakes. The place is clean, food is delicious and fresh with a garden out back. The service was very respectful, attentive with other servers stopping by our table just to show excellence in customer service. Bravo! read more

We ate at the grill at the hot springs. 2 hamburgers $30 + tip. Don't do it. First the Hungarian guy taking the order couldn't understand me. Yes I'm an immigrant also from London not here on a H1b visa. Second they lost our order. Then after over an hour and several complaints, they found it. Cold undone hamburger. Need I say more read more

My boyfriend and I stayed in Chico for two glorious days, not only do you soak in the big sky views but you literally soak in the hot spring. The second night we made reservations for the historic dining room and let me tell you, HEAVEN. Both our cocktail and waitress were hilarious, professional and made the experience even better. We started off with the BBQ Buffalo short rib ravioli with a sweet cream corn sauce, if the name doesn't tell you enough then I don't know. Homemade dough, packed with filling and covered in a sweet cream, YUM. For entrees, we decided for the prime rib even though there was so many delicious options. The prime rib was melt in your mouth tender over garlic mash and au jus, with every cents. Not only is the food amazing, but the location is almost religious. We will make the 1600 mile trip, every damn year. read more
