    Cafe Mocha: Impressive-looking, but neither the coffee nor chocolate flavors were apparent. The best part was the luscious whipped cream!
    Teresa L.

    Wow--Steve's Cafe has always been my #1 pick for great food in Helena, but after my experience today, I'm doubtful...My server, Dawn, left me alone for most of my visit; she served me with the bare minimum, & seemed unwilling or unable to answer the simplest menu questions about 2 items I hadn't tried before: The Cafe Monte Cristo is served on French Toast as a sandwich. She felt that was self-explanatory, so I took a chance & ordered it anyway. The second item I asked about was the Cafe Mocha, which is described as half coffee & half hot chocolate. Dawn repeated that to me; I went ahead & ordered it, because it's a nippy day outside, it sounded good, & Steve's prides itself on "whole bean Italian coffee". Dawn asked if I wanted whipped cream, & yes--that was the best part of this hot drink. It tasted like hot water with a bland chocolate flavor with no coffee flavor to be savored. Disappointment in a mug for $3.75. The Cafe Monte Cristo Sandwich looked promising when it arrived...but when I tasted it, the only thing which was flavorful was the bacon. The ham & turkey sliced deli meat was absolutely indistinguishable for any flavors of ham or turkey! ($14.95; scarcely any powdered sugar on the French Toast, either, which is a hallmark of a Monte Cristo...& no, it isn't deep-fried in any batter, but the French Toast is a clever substitution & departure from the original.) I ate half of it & boxed the other half...the French Toast was bland, too--very little flavor. My side item was something I always look forward to here, because so few restaurants serve onion rings anymore! These are a $2.00 up charge, & I told Dawn I like them on the light side, not too dark--& these came out close to being dark, & they must have sat in the grease, because they were tough on the outside...not the best onion rings by far. Disappointment again! I came here anticipating another great experience at Steve's Cafe, & it was completely disappointing until Alivia appeared: Alivia noticed I appeared to be waiting, & I was--because I saw on my check that the Cafe Mocha comes with ONE REFILL! Dawn never mentioned nor offered me a refill, but Alivia did--& yes, that's exactly how to spell her name, which is pronounced as "Olivia". Alivia gave me a to-go cup with a lid, & whipping cream & all, that excellent but of genuine "Customer Service" kept this review from being one star! Purely because of Alivia, I will return to Steve's Cafe the next time I'm in Helena, a 100+ miles from home! Thank you, Alivia, for saving the day for me: The next time, I'm asking for you as my server!

    Wandered over to Helena today. Always great to visit the states capital. While there I was able to visit Steve's Cafe. It's a small restaurant that is definitely a favorite of the locals. While I was sitting there I was able to watch the interactions of the staff and their regulars. I had their Chicken and Apple sausage, made in house, which comes with 2 eggs and a variety of sides to choose from. I chose the hash browns and "small" pancakes. Everything was sooo good. If you are hungry and want some great food like grandma use to make come check out this place.

    Steve's cafe is the quintessential diner of yesteryear. It has a nice ambiance, quick service, and a welcoming vibe. I had the pork verde breakfast burrito. It was very tasty & filling. It was a quiet Tuesday morning, and the kitchen provided quick service. Dawn (the server ) was friendly but not intrusive. This normally packed, so very happy to get in quickly. My favorite breakfast (& lunch) place when i visit Helena.

    Let's start with the Good! When I walked in I was immediately greeted and offered to sit at the bar or a table. The host was really nice and the place was packed for a Wednesday. After being seated at the bar I looked over the HUGE menu and decided on the Sausage Sampler with hash browns ( So I thought) two over medium eggs and fruit salad. The sausage was okay but the hash browns were not brown at all!! Which confused me as it is literally the name of the food. I didn't even bother trying them Because they weren't cooked. The eggs were nothing to write home about either. When the hash whites came out of the kitchen I was surprised that a cook thought this was a good idea. Either way, the breakfast is mediocre at best. Ambiance was a diner that was about it.

    While vacationing in Helena, I looked to Yelp for a breakfast recommendation and Steve's popped up with lots of praise. Once again Yelp was right on target. This place is top notch with a loyal following. There were 6 of us in our group and everyone had something different. I had a breakfast burrito that was both delicious and big. The huckleberry pancakes were described as fantastic. Even with 6 of us the service was excellent and the food all came out together and hot. I wish we lived closer but highly recommend this place if you are in Helena!

    First time, definitely not the last time. Had the Irish Benedict. Was incredible. It will be hard to order anything else. Super fast service and large portions.

    Gluten free pancakes
    Philip J.

    Really good breakfast food here with Gluten free options! Large portions great food great service very fast! Clean place nice clean and well stocked restrooms here. Gluten free pancakes were giant! And tasty. Try the huckleberry anything here. The Irish eggs Benedict are their specialty and they don't disappoint. There was a large selection of gluten free items here which was great because my daughter has celiac and wasn't limited to just one menu item. Our server Sean was very friendly and attentive. This place was jam packed, but they served us quickly and efficiently. The restrooms are something nice to mention. They have two single restrooms that they keep very clean and well stocked. They even have tissue boxes in there. Very impressive.

    Sausage sampler breakfast: chorizo, sweet Italian, and chicken apple.  All 3 delicious!

    The front desk tried, but, housekeeping just couldn't do their job. We gave them two tries with…read moretwo separate stays. But, each time housekeeping failed. During our first visit, the door to the room assigned to us was propped open, most likely by housekeeping when they cleaned the room. During the second visit, the bed was not made. Both times the front desk personnel apologized and comped us with breakfast buffet from their lobby restaurant. The hotel is an older property with 2 or 3 floors. Both times the replacement rooms were okay. It was exactly what we wanted, a room with 2 queen beds. The bathroom appeared a little dated. The room was adequate for our needs. If they only gave us these rooms first. Instead of a lounge, this hotel has a "Pantry" where elite Marriott members could grab some snacks, like beef jerky and chips, and drinks and yogurt from their refrigerator. An espresso maker was also available. They also had a freezer with ice cream. The had danishes and other breads for breakfast. I liked having access to the lounge. It's an okay property, if housekeeping behaves. 3 stars.

    We arrived for a 2-night stay and the parking lot was completely empty. We picked this hotel over…read morethe other Marriott hotels based on the photos- very deceiving. Being Titanium Elite, Marriott will upgrade u based on availability. When we checked in and asked if an upgrade was available, we were told no. I was completely surprised since the hotel looked empty. She said the hotel would fill up later. Went to our room and went online to check availability - plenty of rooms along with 2 types of suites. Called down and the front desk was extremely upset we went online. She told us we still could not have either of the suites. We usually don't do this, but decided to call Marriott and inquire- they were extremely nice and just as confused as we were. The agent called the hotel directly and spoke with someone- our room phone started to ring and it was the front desk telling us we could come get our key for the room move and then she hung up! Husband got the key without a word being exchanged. Horrible service! Marriott should have higher standards- if considering Helena, choose a different Marriott property! Rooms are in much need of improvement as well as nicer employees.
