    Casper power bowl
    Kristin H.

    I really wanted to love this place. The setting was beautiful, overlooking the Elk Refuge. We ate outside and our server has very friendly, but attempting to wait on too many tables. We ordered the citrus braised beet salad and the casper power bowl for lunch. We each added bison as our protein. Both were just okay. The beet salad definitely shined brighter than the power bowl. We waited a very long time to see our server once our food was delivered and then again when we needed the bill so we could leave. I'd love to recommend them but can't after this experience.

    Great restaurant with a beautiful view of the elk refuge! Located inside the museum with all windows so you see the elk refuge from every seat. We came in for lunch and had a great meal. Service was quick and friendly.

    Rose by the glass was mouth watering! Watermelon notes paired very well with the power bowl.

    Service, ambiance, and food was all really great! Sebastian was our waiter and was very warm, polite and joyful! A true pleasure to encounter. The view was beautiful and the food was so fresh and perfectly prepared. We had the power bowl and French onion grilled cheese with added chicken which was SO delicious. Definitely add the chicken. Would recommend as a must do while visiting Jackson Hole!

    We made a reservation and ate here for lunch right after we landed in Jackson,WY. So beautiful to sit outside on their patio and look out at the elk refuge. Our waitress was lovely! We got the game stew which was so rich and yummy. The cowboy caviar as a wrap - which comes with chips as a side. The chips are housemade and perfectly crunchy, I dipped a few in the stew and it was delicious! The trout po boy - which is yummy and the bread was fresh, the sauce was little spicy (which we like but you should know if you don't like spice). My husband got a local beer and I got the sockeye soritz which was very citrusy and refreshing. We are on our honeymoon so we also did the chamomile panna cotta and coffee which was one of the most delicious dessert we've ever had! Would highly recommend this place!!

    First of all, the setting and atmosphere were phenomenal! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch next to the beautiful bear sculpture. The food and wine were delicious and the service was prompt and friendly. If I could give this place 10 Stars I would.

    What a view! We enjoyed lunch on the patio at Palate with its views of the neighboring Elk Refuge. The food is delicious, and as a non-beef eater I was especially happy they offered a French onion grilled cheese with a mushroom au jus. Also, the soup was incredibly fresh tasting with sweet potatoes and a touch of miso. Note: It can get brisk and/or extremely sunny here so wear sunscreen and bring a jacket or sweater.

    We stopped at this location with a group of eight. We were traveling from Island Park Idaho to the Tetons. We almost stopped in Jackson hole to grab a bite to eat, but ended up deciding to drive up the road and I am so happy that we did. This restaurant is located in an art museum, which added to the whole experience. Not to mention the views of the elkwere insane! We ordered so much food and everyone was pleased with their meals! I tried the soup of the day (sweet potato miso) and the grilled onion/cheese sandwich. Both were delicious. We had four kids who ordered four different meals and everybody clean their plates. Our server was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend visiting this location.

    Game stew

    Got takeout as there was a bit of a wait but not worth it. Almost $10 for the game stew in a 12 Oz cup that was only 2/3 full. Stew was hearty and warm but the value just isn't there.

    I'd definitely recommend having lunch at Palate when you're in Jackson Hole. The weather was beautiful & we enjoyed sitting outside overlooking the National Elk Refuge. Their soup of the day was coconut tomato basil. YUM! I ordered the power bowl, substituted mixed salad greens for rice & added smoked trout. It was delicious!! My husband ordered the chicken sandwich & chips. They put mustard on it, which he said was unfortunately a bit overpowering. Kerri was our server & she was delightful,..kind & attentive.

    Not only can you enjoy some beautiful art, but you can have a nice lunch with a view. Palate is located inside the National Museum of Wildlife Art. They are open for lunch only with indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are strongly encouraged as there is usually a long wait time. The décor of this places matches the beauty of the museum around it. This museum faces the Elk Refuge and you get amazing views of it through the windows. Palate has a menu that consists of sandwiches, salads and appetizers. After a whole week of hiking and viewing wildlife in Grand Teton National Park, I was craving a nice healthy sit-down lunch. I started off with a cup of Game Stew. The stew was really good and is made up of Elk, Bison, Lentils and Quinoa. My entrée was the Casper Power Bowl. Not only does it have a lot of healthy ingredients, but it is a very colorful dish. I was impressed with the overall presentation of the food I ordered. They deliver your bill inside a children's book that has cute pictures of animals.

    Food was excellent! It was a little slow getting seated as we did not have reservations. It was well worth the wait and in a beautiful setting outside.

    Such a cool experience, eating outside the museum and with the Mountain View - food felt local and organic. Reasonably priced and great service! Allergen friendly as well.

    Came here for the ambiance but stayed for the food! Had a phenomenal watermelon heirloom salad with the most delectable steak. It was served over arugula and topped with feta and pistachios. I should've taking a picture, but I was more excited to eat. The service was really nice as well.

Walking up, the outside is very unassuming, even to the point that I almost second guessed our decision, but don't let that deter you.

During happy hour, all of their drinks are half off as well as their burratas and cheese plates. I got a nice dry rose which was fantastic. For an early evening bite, we got the fried artichokes and the mushroom burrata plate and both were excellent. Overall, this is a cozy spot to bring a friend, a date, or even your parents. The food is fantastic and the drink selection is sure to please everyone. I believe they will also allow you to purchase a bottle at their store to open and drink at the restaurant (corking fee may be required). A hidden gem for sure. Insider tip - if you're splitting the bill, pay attention to the calculated tips. They will charge the full tip on each half rather than calculating it on each half total.

We spent the…read moreprior many nights at all the "best" restaurants in town - Wild Sage, Snake River Grill, Glorietta, White Buffalo Club - Gather beat them all out without question. While the previous restaurants mentioned are a bit more upscale, Gather is on the more casual side. It's located right at the base of Snow King mountain so you can look out at the mountain. Most of all - the food here was amazing. We are from NYC and are self proclaimed "foodies" - so we don't say it lightly when we say that the chef/menu here was super eclectic in the best way possible. He infused flavors from all different cuisines from Mediterranean to Korean -- without anything feeling overpoweringly ethnic. The pork buns were a 10 - unlike most restaurants that use a chunk of pork belly, it seemed like they cubed pork from the rib and it tasted more like eating a delicious spare rib from a Chinese restaurant - without the fat you often get in a traditional pork belly bun. The Fresno peppers accented the sweetness of the buns brilliantly. For entree my wife had the elk bolognese which was superb. The papardelle had a perfect chew (maybe made in house?) and the meat / sauce itself was wonderful. The real showstopper here though was the pork ribeye. I've had plenty of good pork chops but this was something completely different. This cut and its preparation was unbelievably tender and juicy - it melts in your mouth like a piece of wagyu steak. I truly did not think you could achieve this level of tenderness from a pork. The flavors around it were incredible and it was genuinely one of the best dishes I've ever had - anywhere - period. Kudos to the chef for this masterful creation. If you even marginally like pork - please do yourself a favor and get this!! Lastly - shout out to ELLA, our server, who was kind and warm and honest and attentive throughout the whole meal. One of the best servers we had on our entire trip - she was amazing! Overall - a true 5 stars here - no questions asked!!

Turns out Cloudveil is only open between June-ish and before winter, and I came late May 2026 so they weren't open yet. However, the nice folks at the bistro were able to serve me without a reservation (restaurant was about 2/3 full). The food was a little high but not crazy for a sit down restaurant and given I wasn't all that hungry, it was the perfect amount of food. They serve fresh bread with butter spread before your entree and it is so, so lovely! I ended up getting one of their appetizer salads with fresh fruit on a bed of roast veg, and I got two drinks - the "Rose French 75" ($16 - has alcohol) and "the inversion" ($11 - mocktail version of the "Jackson fog" cocktail). I can genuinely say both drinks but particularly the inversion were two of the best drinks I've had; the flavor was perfectly sweet, just a bit floral, and distinct from any other drink I've had (which is something I love to experience!). They paired great with the salad and the bread. They were also sweet enough I didn't even need dessert (although the huckleberry cheesecake and the bread pudding were tempting). I would go here again just to get another inversion mocktail if nothing else. It's a lovely place to have dinner and just enjoy the ambiance near Jackson square - highly recommend!!

Dressed up and on reservation, we arrived a tad early and were promptly greeted. Maybe hospitality isn't Wyoming's forte, but all of the staff did not seem happy to see nor serve us from the beginning. The booking site only offered high top tables, so that's what I selected. When the hostess asked if we'd like to switch to a table, she was sternly corrected in front of us that it "wouldn't be possible" by another staff member. The interaction felt unprofessional in front of guests, and as if they weren't willing to accommodate us. On top of that fiasco came plenty of glares and stares from staff throughout our visit. Crawfish & Dumpling - 9/10 For the table. Pungent; a few bites satisfy. I've never had crawfish in this setting. Perfect gnocchi. Delicious all around. Oyster Shooter - 8/10 Fairly priced, fresh. Nice bloody mary. Rabbit Ravioli - 6.5/10 Stingy portion of meat. Ravioli is just okay. The fried carrot nest was fun but it was too much for the serving. It's a carrot salad with a bite of meat and maybe 5 ravioli. Bar Steak - One came overcooked and one under. Sides were mediocre. Uninteresting mashed potatoes. Our waitress tried to take our order almost immediately after being seated. She visited few times after ordering. With a 5:30 reservation, we left by 5:57 thanks to the small portions and staff seeming to rush us out. In a tourist destination, I would imagine better hospitality and warmth from local workers. Not many smiles here. I typically tip well, but they didn't seem to want us there and the experience really dampened my entire party's mood.

Our server was equally dialed in, catching nuances in our order that most places would miss. It's the kind of service that feels effortless but clearly isn't. The vibe?

We called well within 24 hrs of our reservation. We unfortunately will not be going back there. And we will make sure we let anyone know this policy. When did Jackson lose its charm and sense of community?

    I really wanted to like this place more than I did. We had two dinners here during our trip and…read morewhile the food itself was mostly okay, there were just too many issues to ignore. The good: -Prickly pear mocktail - wowed by this -NY strip - extremely flavorful and we love that they let us sub the panzanella with the fingerling potatoes -Chopped salad - always a lovely surprise when a salad is this good and not an afterthought -Pot de creme - mmmm perfect -Whipped ricotta - might be my favorite I've ever had, totally demolished this The mediocre: -Meatball - I imagine because these are so popular that they have a lot of them prepped and waiting... because both nights when we ordered this, the cheese was one solid yellowish piece over the top. You know that look that melted mozzarella gets when it's been sitting a while? Like that. The meatball itself was fairly good, red sauce was meh. -Pappardelle with pork and beef bolognese - unimpressed with the flavor of the meat or sauce and it was served barely lukewarm The bad: -Lemon chicken was overcooked - blackened and dry. Left on a few minutes too long for sure. I've spatchcocked chicken and cooked it perfectly like this dozens of times, and can only assume this one dried out because it was absolutely tiny. Like Cornish game hen size. And no lemon flavor, unless you count squeezing lemon on it yourself. But that is not lemon chicken. -Rigatoni with burrata and basil - we added Italian sausage to this and I am not sure what they put in there but it was sliced smoked sausage of some kind that was NOT good. But worse, it was cold. Everything in the bowl was lukewarm to cold which I almost tolerated because I was hungry, but I drew the line when I bit into a piece of sausage that felt like it just came out of the refrigerator. When we told the server, he said he would get us new ones, which he did, but those came out with burrata in cups on the side. Was this supposed to be a jab at me saying it was cold? Like they thought the burrata was what made it cold so they put it on the side? Regardless, it totally sucked trying to mix pieces of it back into the pasta - which was STILL lukewarm. It was like mixing in cheese curds. Terrible. And bottom line? The pasta and vodka sauce were not even close to good enough to justify this frustration. -The service - first night was nice, he was warm and fairly attentive, and offered us split bowls of pasta since he knew we were sharing. Second night was awful. It took 15 minutes to get water and order apps and another 5 to get bread. We said we were sharing the pasta and the chicken but not only did they not split it for us, it took two extra requests to get an extra bowl and large spoon to split the pasta and then an extra plate and knife to split the chicken. And those were all from flagging down the runner because our server was a ghost. Didn't introduce himself, took our order, and we basically never saw him again. Overall, a mixed bag. I might come here again out of convenience (i.e., while staying at Teton Mountain Lodge next door). But I will adjust my expectations accordingly.

We shared a watermelon salad and I got the Lamb Rigatoni ala Vodka. Both were delicious! The salad was beautiful, with greens resting over an entire slice of watermelon. It was refreshing and exactly what I wanted. My pasta was also perfect. Super flavorful and saucy. My companion ordered the Angus New York. It was cooked to order and the sides were also cooked well. I took some leftovers home, so I got to enjoy the food over two days. That was appreciated since the cost was definitely in the mid-range. It was worth it though. I'd 100% come back and try more when I'm in the area again.

I loved that the kids were able to play outside in the yard while the adults chatted over appetizers and waited on the mains and pizzas. We had some of their fresh Woodfire, pizzas, chicken, Parmesan, and salmon. Everyone loved their dishes. the pizzas were big enough for 2 to 3 of the kids to split the chicken Parmesan was also a very healthy portion, and the salmon was delightful. I would order the salmon again without hesitation. The chefs cooked it perfectly to my request. Service was also attentive and friendly.

    Million dollar cowboy bar is of those quintessential places that everyone visits when they come to…read moreGrand Teton National Park and to Jackson Hole. It's a really cool place, and it's bustling with people. That said, I do think it's probably a little bit overhyped given the sheer number of folks in there on the weekend I came to visit. The drinks all sound pretty good; they had a huckleberry Moscow Mule that I wanted to try, but the evening that I came by they actually were having trouble with their cash register and could only take cash. I didn't have any, so I wasn't actually able to buy anything. They do also have food at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, but it's kind of pretty standard bar food, so I wasn't particularly interested in that. There was also almost nowhere to sit -- I got lucky and there ended up being one seat at the bar, and I was by myself so I parked it there and hung out for 15-20 mins to enjoy the vibe. But there were groups coming in and out who ended up just standing around by the tables or in the corner because there weren't any seats available at the bar or the main floor with tables. My understanding is that they do sometimes have karaoke or live music or something like that. The day that I was there (Saturday of memorial day weekend), I didn't see live music within the bar but that was the weekend of the "Million Dollar Country Music Festival," which took place just outside the bar in Jackson Square. It was free, and despite being very packed, it was super cool! The area immediately in front of the bar was shoulder to shoulder, but there were some areas around the park to sit and you could hear the stage just fine. Overall, it's a pretty cool area. Regardless of if you want drinks or food, you should probably come check it out when visiting Jackson Hole if you've never been. Of note, there is a little bit of street parking that's free for a couple of hours during the day (and free in the evenings in general), but do just take note of the signs about where and what time the parking is free so that you don't end up getting ticketed or towed (there are indeed a good number of state troopers around the area who do seem to keep an eye on that).

Once you get inside, you order any food you want at the window and they bring it out to you. We didn't have much time to spend here so we just went in and ordered a basket of fries. We stopped by around noon and there were a decent amount of people inside. The saddle seats were iconic!

We had dinner here the last night of our trip and it was the best way to close out our time here in Wyoming. It is easily one of our top 5 meals ever. What we had: -Fleeting Smile Zero Proof drink, delicious, and iced tea with simple syrup to sweeten -Meatballs alla Nonna - the meatballs themselves were fantastic, and the red sauce tasted a lot like MY homemade red sauce! We were very happy with this, to say the least. -Salumi & Formaggi - favorite meat and cheese plate we've ever had. Everything was perfectly selected and paired together on the board. Could not have been more pleased. -Charred broccolini - cooked perfectly to a bright and vibrant color, accompanied by a spicy Calabrian chili aioli. I feel like I always need something green with my dinner and this was an excellent addition to the table. -Rye Cavatelli - great chew on the fresh cavatelli. I watched the PBS spotlight on Glorietta and Wyoming Heritage Grains a few days prior and it made it all the more meaningful to order this dish and taste the hard work and care that goes into the flour and the pasta. And the elk bolognese was wonderful, too, with salty chunks of meat throughout. -Prime NY Strip - if a steak could melt in your mouth. And the additions of the porcini butter and the vincotto pushed it to another level. Spectacular. -Duck breast with creamy polenta, grilled carrots, and balsamic reduction - I have no words. My first bite with a bit of the polenta stopped me dead in my tracks and I had a visceral reaction. A transcendental food moment. It was rich beyond belief; I had no idea duck breast could be like this. Still blown away thinking about it. -Espresso (local coffee!) served with biscotti, and s'mores (graham blondie, smoked ganache, honey meringue), which was absolute bliss and surprisingly not too heavy All in all, a fabulous, romantic, elevated dining experience. Huge thanks to Chef Remle and his whole team. *** One last thing: the service. Food came out in a timely manner and drinks were refilled. But neither of us liked our server. He was simply not engaged with us. We told him it was our 30th wedding anniversary and he offered us free prosecco, but when I said we didn't drink, that was the end of that. We don't expect free things. Really. But it was a bit off-putting that if we said no to free alcohol, specifically, that the offer was entirely retracted. It seemed like he was very distracted by a larger party in his section and was giving them all of his attention, so maybe that is why he seemed disconnected. But he also didn't seem to understand any of my comments or small jokes and we had to repeat ourselves in every interaction. He tried to be "nice" but it came off as disingenuous. It was a relatively small cloud over an otherwise amazing experience. The food was so incredibly good that I won't even let it bring my review down to 4 stars. Still, I had to mention it. If we go back and he is still working there, we will definitely request to be seated with someone else.

    Glorietta comes highly recommended from my research of "best" restaurants in Jackson and I…read moreunderstand why! We were lucky enough to get last minute seating at the bar - likely because it was a Monday night. We walked here from our hotel (Cloudveil) which only took 5-7 minutes. It's a quaint restaurant that keeps it's mountain town essence as the space is a converted home with an outdoor patio facing the quiet neighborhood street. While the food is elevated it doesn't feel pretentious and maintains a laid back local's feel despite alot of tourists stopping by. While we love cocktails and were impressed with the menu, we were in a wine mood. They have a petite selection of wines by the glass but there's plenty of bottles to choose from. For appetizers we were in the mood for light and refreshing, so the bartender recommended the caesar salad with fresh anchovies. It was perfect for us to share and we loved it. He also mentioned the pasta was house made, so we knew we had to try it. We ordered the fusilli which was so flavorful in spite of being a very simple dish. Our neighbors sitting next to us ordered it first and said it was some of the best they've ever had and they're from NY and have high standards. For our main entree we shared the trout which is from Idaho. I am not that familiar with trout and always forget it's not a white fish but similar to salmon in looks (pink in color) and taste. We really enjoyed it. Lastly, we usually always say no to desert but when in Jackson! The house made panna cotta was perfection - not too sweet. This is a must stop visit for your trip to Jackson.
