If you're looking for a great meal with one of the best lakefront views in Montana, stop reading…read morereviews and just go to The Sitting Duck. We had an absolutely fantastic experience. 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.

The sky was pure magic, the water crystal clear. We ordered a couple of beers. Jan had The Bob IPA from Sacared Waters ($7) Brewery, Kailispel, Montana, and I had the Coldsmoke Scotch Ale ($7) from Kettlehouse Brewing, Missoula, Montana. They were both excellent. We both ordered fish and chips ($25) An excellent choice. The fish was walleye, perfectly battered and fried. You could actually cut the fish with a fork or knife without the batter falling off the fish. I had never had walleye before. It was white, delicate, and firm with a nice flake. It was not fishy. This fish and chips was the best I've had in the U.S. and better than what I've had in Dublin and London. The fries were good, the slaw was average. The kind of lunch that feeds the soul as much as the body. Wow!

TL:DR-The Raven is superior to The Sitting Duck.

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.
