The food was incredible from start to finish, and the service was even better. Bella was our waitress and was thoughtful, attentive, efficient, and checked on us frequently without ever being intrusive. Riley was also wonderful--bringing drinks, checking on our table, and making sure we had everything we needed. Behind the bar, Drew had fantastic recommendations and helped us discover some great drinks. They made my daughter's 10th birthday super special!!! Speaking of drinks- don't miss the fun cocktail that comes with a rubber duck. They also have an excellent wine list and a great beer selection. What really stood out was how friendly the entire staff was. We visited with our two children and our two Golden Retrievers, and everyone made us feel welcome. While we waited for our food, the kids had a blast playing by the lakeshore, throwing rocks, and enjoying the beautiful setting. As for the occasional negative reviews--this is a very popular lakefront restaurant, and during peak times it gets busy. That's part of dining at one of the most sought-after spots in Bigfork. Relax, enjoy the view, order a drink, and soak in the experience. Great food, amazing staff, beautiful location, dog-friendly, family-friendly, and worth every minute. We will absolutely be back.

Hubby loved his steak tacos. I should have had a burger. Service was really great. Attentive, friendly, helpful, all of it! Had a great view of the sunset on the water. Very nice.

You can even buy bottles to take home at very competitive prices. We are so glad we have this as part of our Montana memories.

It's a casual place but nice inside. I sat at the bar since the tables were full. It's a smaller place with a max capacity of 49. The service was really great & the food was terrific. I was hoping for the 3 sliders plate but it was discontinued so I got the Pub Burger with the 6oz ground steak patty with fries & it was outstanding. I tried a blow lemon beer for $3 & then a glass of Riesling & the lemon cake for dessert. I would definitely come back & try something else the next time I'm in town.

Lots of choices: gelato, shakes, coffees, teas, homemade cakes, cupcakes & pie! The folks here are uber-friendly, engaging & eager to please. Oftentimes you'll be served by the lovely owner/baker herself, Teaghan. My husband, a long-time huckleberry shake connoisseur, had a religious experience with the shake here. I had a slice of the homemade 'Northwest Berry' pie - perfect crust, filled w fresh fruit. We're looking forward to enjoying the whole menu throughout the year. The outdoor patio has seating under the giant trees with a view of Bigfork Bay & people watching on busy days. And, bonus, in addition to the outside area, there's a small seating area/dessert nook with several tables that joins The Marketplace to the Bigfork Inn dining room. We usually have no problems finding a parking spot on the street nearby. Stays open late to cap off a beautiful Bigfork day.
