    Cortina 8/24
    C M.

    Came in w/a large table of 11 for a birthday dinner. The reception was very friendly when making the reservation. The restaurant and views are amazing. Service and food was 5 star. They even all signed a birthday card for our friend and came out with a special dessert. Cons: Another large table had some loud toddlers, which was a bit noisy. With a table of 11, we had to sit at two neighboring tables vs one big table to avoid having to eat off of a family style menu - I wish this couldve been avoided, but we made it work. I wouldve marked it to 4 stars for this, but the service and everyone we encountered were so lovely, I still gave it a 5.

    Everything about Cortina is excellent! The service is outstanding, the food and ambience is excellent. This is our second time dining here.

    Came here while on vacation & it did not disappoint. Every item on the menu was good (we got most of them) but would recommend the bison, steak tartare, & the risotto with the veal- 10/10. Our waitress Kasey was truly one of the best we've ever had, she made a whole experience out of the meal. Cannot recommend enough!

    Cortina is a world-class Italian restaurant within the Montage Hotel in Big Sky, Montana.the menu is continental Italian, plus beef and other game offerings, with pasta and vegetables, followed by spectacular European desserts. All are top notch. Service is impeccable, price is what you'd expected in such a high end establishment. Cortina is a drive away from the hustle and bustle of the main Big Sky slopes, but you can ski to and from Cortina via the Lewis and Clark trail and lift. The best!

    Our server was absolutely outstanding! He was knowledgeable of the menu and so polished. The burrata had to be the best I've had since I was in Italy! And truly the same goes for the pasta. The last I enjoyed authentic Italian pasta was in Rome. These chefs do such a wonderfully job. Every day is a celebration at Cortina, it was the perfect place for my mother's birthday. My veal cutlet was served on the bone and was delightful. I did find myself wanting more lemon or sauce, as the breading was perfectly crispy but just needed a little extra something. I would absolutely recommend anyone staying in Big Sky or Montage to experience Cortina.

    Huevos Rancheros - breakfast item served on less busy days
    Alex P.

    As the main restaurant at the Montage, this is not a restaurant that's yet on the map of Big Sky, but certainly starting to get there. It has a pleasant design with tall ceilings and cozy seating. When it comes to Breakfast experiences, on busy days, Cortina offers a buffet for guests priced at $58 and an enhanced A-La-Carte menu on the days when buffet is not available due to limited guest capacity. The Turkey eggs Benedict is prepared in a very classic fashion and was executed well. Avocado toast has some wonderful bread that is clearly freshly baked and tastes spectacular. Potatoes are very well done. The huevos rancheros was not executed particularly well, with the dish being very heavily dominated by the sauce, throwing the balance a bit off. Despite that, it was tasty, but almost impossible to finish the volume of sauce relative to other ingredients. When it comes to the buffet, selections are fairly basic for the price that it costs and frankly, I would not recommend that option. Aside from the usual bacon and potatoes, the buffet does have croissants and an omelette station, so basics are covered at a five star hotel level, but that's about it. It is far from buffets at some of the other resorts of this caliber and cost just as much. A La Carte is much better both value and quality wise. Dinner was also very well executed, from the filet mignon to the bison tartare and trout. One of the best things here are the staff, like Katie and Manish, who went above and beyond. With that said, on one of the days where the hotel was at higher occupancy, the team really struggled to cover the tables and was majorly understaffed. Thus, I fear how they will be able to handle the load in the rapidly approaching ski season. Lastly, I have to highlight the platters and pottery. Clean presentation on all dishes, with some being served in gorgeous Staub dishes, with even the coffee being poured into Jono Pandolfi pottery. Such details really do make a difference. Cortina is an excellent spot for being fairly new. Aside from suggestions above, it would be nice to see some additional selections to highlight the terroir of Montana, such as a better steak selection, bison and elk. Perhaps some mountain berries and plants consumed by indigenous populations. While it is an Italian restaurant, it's identity is already fairly confused: very little of it is actually Italian and my humble opinion is that an upscale Italian restaurant is not what most of the guests would want coming to Montana anyways. Italian spots are a dime a dozen in big cities where most of the guests arrive from, so not only does it mean the standard has to be higher, but experiencing a high end variant of Montana dining and ingredients would be much more interesting to me personally.

    You can special order a cake through the Montage Hotel bakery. It was delicious!

    Some things are worth splurging for and the Cortina is one of them. We went for my birthday and am so glad we did. The service was spectacular - the perfect balance between being attentive but not hovering. Everyone was so friendly! And then there's the food. I ordered the petit beef filet (an unusual choice for me) and it was spectacular. I ordered the crispy potatoes as a side - these were the best potatoes I've ever had! Order them! I could easily eat them every day of my life. They are prepared in an aioli sauce but beyond that how they make them so delicious remains a mystery. Thanks to Max, Ryan, Renatta and the crew for a very special birthday.

    Tiramisu
    Nathan H.

    One of the two best restaurants in Big Sky. Perhaps the best tiramisu we've ever had - but everything was amazing from the lasagna to the service. Our server Peter was perfect, an adjective that we rarely, if ever have included on a Yelp. We might stay here at the Montage in the future just to eat at this restaurant, but will most definitely make it a staple every time we return and highly recommend it.

    Bison carpaccio  Burrata

    Amazing experience with beautiful ambiance and scenery. The restaurant is up in a mountain inside of a gorgeous 5 star hotel. The food was pricey but very good and the service was phenomenal. Everyone was beyond welcoming & nice. The views were surreal. The hotel had skiing, tubing plus they offered us s'mores by the fire! A one of a kind experience overall! Thank you to everyone that made our night so special

    My family has been coming to Big Sky for 20+ years. We've been regulars at many of the restaurants…read morearound and make a point to stop by Ousel & Spur every trip but unfortunately the service at the front has gotten so bad, we won't return again. The server and the pizza were fine. When we were being seated, the person taking us to our table moved on to seat another table while our group came in from outside (there's no room to wait inside) and as my 7-year old son followed him, he snapped at my son. When my husband and I asked what the problem was, he said he's no longer seating us and rudely said we need to "step back." I told him he didn't need to be rude but was dismissed. Upon leaving, I asked for the manager to share the feedback and it was the same young man who had seated us. I explained that I didn't appreciate how rude he was to my family and my son, and he dismissed me, argued and raised his voice at me, and then turned away to speak to someone else. At no point did I raise my voice or do anything more than say it wasn't ok, yet he responded with such disdain and disrespect, I'm appalled. It was a bit like speaking with someone that has no sense of decency or values. He should not be in a management position. And I can say for certain we'll never be back to Ousel & Spur, nor will any of our guests who visit us in Big Sky.

Big Sky has a very walkable city center with lots of little stores and restaurants. The night we arrived, they were having an outdoor music festival, so it was quite busy. We put our name on the waitlist at the restaurant, and they text you when your table is ready so you can leave the restaurant and do some shopping while you're waiting. The restaurant itself is very loud inside, so it's hard to hold a conversation. The food itself was good, and we were grateful for the air-conditioning, so overall it was a good stop.
