Things we ordered: Pork belly: Smoky and super flavorful, had a nice labneh sauce with it Brussels sprouts: Deliciously coated in buffalo cause and Gorgonzola cheese Broccolini: one of my favorites, paired with pine nuts and a salsa verde sauce Duck & Foie Sausage: Hearty sausage paired with creamed leeks- interesting flavor combos here! Lamb sliders: I liked these paired with goat cheese but nothing special Sticky toffee pudding: decadent caramel delight! Order this! Drinks: Watermelon cucumber margarita (made with agave wine) super refreshing and strong I was impressed by the unique flavor combinations of the dishes and overall experience I had here. Great place that offers local Red Lodge cuisine!

We ordered two burgers, which were fairly average and not quite what you might expect from a high-end steakhouse. That said, the fries were excellent--crispy, well-seasoned, and easily the highlight of the meal. At first, the burgers seemed fine, just not particularly memorable. However, as we continued eating, they became noticeably dry. We also realized that the cheddar cheese was missing from both burgers, and my wife's avocado was also not included. We later learned that condiments like mayo, ketchup, mustard, etc. are provided only upon request on the side, which would have been helpful to know upfront. My wife and I were engaged in a good conversation and our waitress was busy but still attentive, so it wasn't until we were most of the way through the meal that we discovered the issues. When we brought it to Louisa's attention she contacted the manager who was very understanding and kindly credited the burgers from our bill, which we appreciated and felt was more than fair. Tonight we were simply in the mood for a lighter, more casual dinner, and while the burgers missed the mark, the overall experience and service still reflect a restaurant we would return to.

What a great place. Having been a longtime patron of the Rex Hotel back when it was first restored…read morein the 1980s, imagine the delight when you find an old haunt reimagined and refreshed for today's patrons. The interior is western themed, naturally, and overstuffed with atmosphere not to mention the seats. Great views of the bar and kitchen, you can watch a crew hard at work. The courtyard seating remains delightful but on a Billings Friday night in the historic railroad district it was loud, but good times. The setting and service are top-notch. The Menu is expansive for a Montana steakhouse, lots, lots of choices besides the beef, with wonderful sides, and salads. Solid wine and beer list but imaginative cocktails. Do try the Orange Nor'easter, a blend of bourbon, ginger beer, maple syrup and ginger beer that is a great summer drink. The NY strip was superb--wish the more expensive places back in the east would send their folks out west to learn how to grill steak. Seared with a crispy outside but perfect medium rare on the inside. The steak bites appetizer was a meal into itself, and spot on in its prep. Loved the deluxe mashed potatoes. Beet salad was fresh and zingy. Even the bread service was superior. The wait staff did a great job of explaining everything. But they couldn't convince us to do desserts--bet they are top notch too. Maybe next time. We opted for another round of cocktails on a warm summer night when at this place Billings lived up to its motto of being the "Magic City"

If you're looking for a steakhouse in Billings, this is the spot!…read more We wanted a really good last meal in Billings and wanted local beef. This was definitely the right move. The meat portions are huge, like 16-20 ounces for each cut, so unless you're starving, definitely consider splitting between two people. Each cut is served a la carte with the sides meant to share for the table. I didn't do that and ordered the butter aged ribeye, and my husband and I shared the escargot, lobster mac and cheese, and their vegetable of the day which was a stuffed pepper. The steak was INCREDIBLE. I finished it all, even though I was then very full for multiple days. I loved the escargot as well, it was so cheesy and buttery. The Mac and cheese is also a stand out, definitely order it, so delicious. The stuffed peppers weren't great, I didn't really like them. They had too much going on flavor-wise that didn't really work. If I were to go back, I'd get a more standard steakhouse side like broccoli or asparagus. To drink, I ordered the gin fizz. It had little bits of lavender on top and you could really taste it in each sip, but it wasn't overpowering. Very delish. The service was great throughout the evening. I also thought the restaurant was beautiful with tall ceilings, beautiful bar, and the tables and chairs were beautiful (and comfortable).

Quiet on a Sunday morning. I guess that's good being a Sunday and all at barely daylight o clock…read more Still, it's a classic small town bar, in fact it's about the only place in town serving food at all. Buckeye just happens to have a bar and a slot machine casino. At this time of the morning there were a couple of people at the slot machines, two older men having breakfast and .... Was that a beer?....already? Anyway, the food was just okay. I suppose asking for lunch in the morning throws off the cook who might still be thinking breakfast. The bar-casino a few miles down the road (or is up the road?) was better, I think. The people were nice -- nice in the classic small town way that makes it a why-am-I-not living here-all-the-time, way. I'd stop here again, and probably will since it's on my way to a place I visit frequently. But maybe next time I'll try breakfast during breakfast hours and maybe a drink because maybe those people having beer were on to something. Choices. It's all about choices.

I normally don't leave reviews, but feel I need to give a little warning. Let me preface this by…read moresaying that we originally went here for the bison ribeye. Unfortunately, when we got there ( at 7pm on Saturday night) they were already out of the bison. We originally thought about leaving, but then decided to just try something else. Also, I know that I did not expect the best I've ever had, ordering seafood at a restaurant in Montana. This is just to let everyone know, whatever you do, do not order the Cajun shrimp. It was the worst shrimp I've ever had. It was so overcooked it had the consistency of a hockey puck, and the seasoning tasted as if it was marinated in balsamic vinegar-nothing remotely Cajun about it. It was a cool experience, with the pig races, and my husband's ribeye was decent. Just don't order the Cajun shrimp!!

Bison steak was good and jumbo shrimp were favorable and cooked just right! Betting on the pig races was a little cumbersome with waiting in line. I feel like we spent more time waiting in line than actually enjoying the races. Races were fun to watch. Bar service was below average. The bar tenders (there were 3 by my count) were not able to keep up and seemed disoriented with the drinks in the bar (was this their first night?!?). Took about 15 minutes to cash out our tab. Also, would have preferred more options for beer on tap.

We chose the upstairs mezzanine, which was super cozy. Our server was AMAZING, she helped us decide which appetizers and drinks to order.

It wasn't my favorite but they taste like chicken and they were super tender so if that's your thing then you should definitely order them. We both got New York's and they were perfectly cooked. The sides were amazing and the prosecco was some of the best I've ever had. 100% recommend this place. It's an hour and a half from our house to carbon county steakhouse and I wouldn't hesitate to drive that far again for their food.

The ribeye was great and the baked potato was better than the mashed potatoes, but both were normal. The New York strip was cooked to perfection. We paired the steaks with a bottle of cab sav, and I do think they should look for some better wines at the price paid, but they are likely catering to out of towers. The service was just okay, but seems like they may need better training for servers and table bussers, as it didn't seem like their fault they just didn't know best practice. Overall, good food and experience but probably not completely worth the price. Still 5 stars because it was tasty and nice to sit outside even downtown.

At one point, I looked over and saw the staff sitting down together for a family dinner. That told me everything. You can feel when a place is built on respect, pride, and genuine love for what they're doing--and it shows up on the plate. Bravo to The Marble Table. Huge fan.
