The Spotted Bear Ranch is an Orvis endorsed fly fishing ranch / bed & breakfast in Montana within…read morethe Bob Marshall Wilderness, closet town is Whitefish MT. The area is gorges, surrounded by pine trees, rough terrain through most of this area. The main lodge where the cooking and dining was located it over looked the South Fork of the Flathead River. The river has native west slope cutthroat and big bull trout. The fly of choice is the atomic ant, the water is so cold and pure in this area that rarely are there fly hatches, well at least the time we were there. The ranch backs into a National Forrest, where you cannot use any motorized vehicle, you can only hike or horse back into to fly fish. They do have a side road that will take the Fly fishing guides up half way up the river, where they will set in a float boat to fly fish. The guides here are very good, they know there stuff. I witnessed some of the best casting in years here. On a lunch break we stopped, and out of the boat one of the guides was backed up to a cliff that rose two hundred feet above him, yet he could make these cast out to the front and his back casts where going straight above him. That brought tears to my eyes, in true joy seeing that, I thought I could cast. Now if you have ever gone through an Orvis home decorating catalog, which is what the inside of these cabins, was filled with, Orvis lamps, bedspreads, towels to soaps, just unbelievable. IT reminded me of something Ralph Loren would put together. If you do go here, set aside a few days to go up to Glacier National Forrest, well worth it. The food was very great, but what I remember was the beauty of the area, the great customer service from the ranch hands, guides and staff. The fly fishing was just more than very good, it was off the chart. Thank you Spotted Bear Ranch, what a great spot for a guy to spend time with his dad! Thank you!

At a near century old establishment serving steaks the whole time is a hard thing to do. There are lots of restaurants that pivot and change and use burgers to get by, but steaks the whole time is a work that needs to be celebrated. Sure Texas is known for their cattle production and Nebraska for their grain grown to feed cattle, but the beef here, is grass grown, local that could have walked here and there is something to be said about that. That's more than dance with who brung you, but rather eat em where they lay. Apparently this used to be a Butcher Shop / Bank, interesting combo before 1937. Family owned and operated for generations. I came here 3 times while I was passing thru they do alot of things well. The BYO burger upgraded to Bison is a rarity and a must. The Fried Chicken sandwich is hearty and balanced with the horseradish, tomato, pickles. It doesn't even need cheese. Rocky Mountain oysters and tender with just enough chew. The breaded cheese curds hold up well to dipping sauces which most normal curds dont. Rocker sauce is good, but never figured out what was in it. Tangy, sweet. Loved the Wedge salad, the ranch was outstanding. Prime rib after 5pm, upgrade your sides to loaded baked potato and a wedge side salad, it's worth it. The 10 oz is more like 12 and the 16 oz is more like 18. Great crust and seasoning, zesty horseradish. Wall to wall pink, tender, juicy. No sauces here like au poive or a bernaise. Save room for dessert their carrot cake is moist, soft and sweet. the peanut butter pie is a downhome classic and the oreos, my god. Service is great, prices are good for the area. Ambiance is excellent. It's a great representation of what an area can do without trying to be like someone else. I actually had their shrimp which is odd being so far from water here, they obliged me to get them all 3 ways if I ordered 2 orders.

This is definitely a hidden gem. I'd been around the Bozeman area for years from time to time and…read morehad never heard of it. It's especially nice when some other local steakhouses are no longer around. The ambiance definitely had a country western theme. We ordered Rocky Mountain oysters as an appetizer. I've had them in numerous other places and I thought these were the most "Stringy" or "tough" kind of like there were strings of meat that didn't want to let go... so it wasn't incredibly mouth pleasing but I know it's probably more the bulls fault than the restaurants fault! prime rib I had was cooked very well and the au jus had good flavor is probably the reason for the 4th star. They did forget my mushrooms though so it keeps it at a 4 star for me. We will be back though to try it again. The bar next door has a large dance floor with the live music so that is nice.

We stayed in the main lodge and booked the all inclusive package which was the greatest decision ever - the food was absolutely amazing.

We had an absolutely five-star experience at Feast. From start to finish, everything we ordered was…read moreexcellent and the service was fantastic. To start, we had the daily ceviche, which was a salmon ceviche with a bright citrus marinade, garnished with oranges and served alongside crispy wonton crackers. It was fresh, light, and a perfect way to kick off the meal. Next, we shared the hot crab dip, which was rich, warm, and packed with flavor. Served with grilled bread, it was the kind of dish you keep dipping back into because it's just that good. For our main dish, we shared the Brown Butter Scallops -- prosecco salt dusted scallops served with arugula pesto, herb mushrooms, and bacon & butternut squash arancini. The scallops themselves were perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, but the real standout on the plate was the arancini. Crispy on the outside with a rich, savory filling of bacon and butternut squash, it paired beautifully with the rest of the dish and completely stole the show. The entire meal was beautifully plated and thoughtfully prepared. The only small note is that the restaurant can get a bit loud when it's full, which can make conversation with your dinner companion slightly harder. That said, the lively atmosphere shouldn't stop you from enjoying a meal here. Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience. If you go, do not skip the bacon and butternut squash arancini--it was the absolute star of the dish and truly sensational.

I started with a huckleberry mojito, which was so refreshing and not too sweet, and the truffle + Parmesan fries... obsessed. They were crispy, flavorful, and honestly hard to stop eating. For my entrée, I got the Cajun scallops and WOW--they were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of spice. Definitely one of my favorite dishes I've had in Bozeman. I couldn't skip dessert, so I took home the masala chai panna cotta and the spiced chocolate torte, and both were amazing. The panna cotta was light with the best warm spice flavor, and the chocolate torte was rich in the best way. Service was super friendly and attentive, and overall it just felt like such a special night. As someone local, Feast is 100% a go-to and I'll definitely keep coming back!

The outdoor ceremony with the mountain views was absolutely stunning and made our day feel so special. The bridesmaids' cabin was perfect for getting ready--beyond spacious and decorated so cute. The groomsmen's cabin is smaller, but it has a basketball hoop and other activities for the guys, which was perfect while the girls (of course) took a little longer getting ready. The DJ they provided was super friendly and helpful, and everything flowed so smoothly throughout the day. Communication was easy from start to finish, and the team really went above and beyond for us. The food was also delicious--we did a buffet-style setup, and it worked perfectly. Everything moved so efficiently, and our guests loved it. The pictures truly say it all, but I honestly wish I could relive this day over and over again. I'm so thankful for such an amazing experience. Highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding!

I never leave reviews, but this was so disappointing it felt necessary to warn others considering this venue. From the moment we arrived, the staff were rude and controlling. We were told that even one drop of spilled beer would result in a $1,000 cleaning fee--an absurd threat that set an aggressive tone right away. The makeup studio situation was even worse. Although we were told we had until 8:00 PM to clean up, by 7:30 all of our belongings--thousands of dollars worth--had already been packed up without our knowledge and thrown haphazardly onto the curb. Personal items, including purses and expensive makeup kits, were scattered with no care or organization. It was a nightmare trying to sort through everything, especially knowing we had early flights to catch the next morning. We weren't even given a warning or a grace period. To top it off, the staff continuously policed guests' behavior. They made condescending comments like, "Wow, another drink already?" and told guests to "pace themselves," even though everyone was respectful and under control. They confiscated the bride's personal beer bong, saying it wasn't allowed--fair enough if that's the policy--but when I politely asked for it back to put in our car, they refused and said I couldn't have it until after the wedding. Again, it was our personal property, and we weren't causing any disruption with it. This wedding was meant to be a joyful celebration, but the staff's attitude and behavior made it feel tense and hostile. If you're considering this venue, think twice. The location may be beautiful, but the experience left a terrible taste in our mouths. Adding on to my review: One of the most upsetting parts I forgot to mention was how the owner spoke to the bride's grandmother about the makeup room. She was so rude that she actually made the grandmother cry--which is absolutely unacceptable. The checkout time was 8:00 PM, yet all of her belongings were already thrown out on the curb by 7:30, with no warning or grace period. She was understandably distressed, worried about thousands of dollars in personal items that had been carelessly tossed around. To treat anyone like that is unacceptable--but to reduce someone's grandmother to tears on her granddaughter's wedding day? That's beyond disappointing.
