    Beef Bourguignon

    After traveling for the entire day, I was starving along with my coworkers so we decided to try this Bistro. We sat at the bar bc the place didn't have space for 7 of us due to reservations. It was happy hour and our team had different options. Their menu was simple and they had daily specials which I enjoyed! The bar gave us the mountain view which I enjoyed.

    Tanglewood's tabbouleh

    Just when you thought good ole Blue Collar couldn't get any worse..... They serve a microwavable pouch of brown rice/quinoa with a salmon dish and call it Tabbouleh!! Microwave! Plastic! Pouch! How do I know? Cause I buy it bi-weekly from Costco and know that exact flavor and texture well. It's great for work lunches and on the go dinners, BUT for a $40 salmon dish from a place that believes "exceptional food should be simple and shared, not fussy and formal." it's crazy. They nailed the SIMPLE! LITERAL MICROWAVE POUCH OF RICE. (see photos for confirmation) Honestly it's kind of sad, so much potential with the space Blue Collar holds in that building. You can't blame the staff, as they have the same amount of control over what they offer as a manager of Applebee's would. But get real folks. Don't waste your money here....or Hachi...or Piglets. On the bright side those three will be gone soon and hopefully we'll get some options that you wouldn't be embarrassed to take someone to. Do better. P.S. your pizza also sucks.

    An impeccable dinner was had at Tanglewood, nestled on the side of a very quaint but active food/shop hall. We were seated promptly and waited on very attentively throughout the meal. We ordered a drink, two appetizers, and two entrees, and each exceeded our expectations. The drink was perfect, and fit in with the vibe of the place. The fondue was to die for, and I'm jealous of anyone who lives in the area and can have it any time they want! Same goes for the cauliflower, which, once you try it, you'll understand why it has won awards. The Pork Chop was gigantic and perfect. Juicy, surrounded by delicious sides, and the talk of the table. I couldn't finish it, but I sure wanted to. The only slight disappointment was the Summer Schnitzel, which just seemed a little plain in comparison to everything else, and didn't have anything that made it stand out. Overall, Tanglewood has perfected what they aim to do, and I'd recommended it to anyone who enjoys a slightly rustic, modern chic dining night out.

    Was visiting our daughter in Bozeman and she had heard good reviews of Tanglewood so we thought we would try it. Service was great as our server was very accommodating as we created our own entrees by mix and matching fish with different entree accoutrements. Everything was delicious, especially the pizza the crust was super. The space was a little vacuous, but perhaps on a busy night it will seem warmer. However, we enjoyed the outdoor space and the nearby cornhole games we played post dinner. Tanglewood is definitely worth it when you're in Bozeman.

    Great service and delicious food . Steak frites was cooked perfect and the chimichurri was bright ! The blackburn pizza with honey, walnuts and fontina was fire ! Ahi salad and burger also perfectly paired with. The attention to detail was on point . Jackson our server was on top of it and attentive .

I hate to compare but it's crazy how different two places can be in the same hotel. The service here was abysmal. We came at the end of someone's set and it wasn't that crowded in the bar but almost every single table was dirty, with empty glasses on them. There seemed to be one bartender and another person helping. That person literally just stood there talking to people instead of cleaning up the tables. The bartender was pretty rude too and didn't seem to be into working here at all. The only clean table was by the door and it kept getting opened while the next band set up so we just moved to a table with dirty glassware on it. The drinks were pretty lackluster (especially compared to the awesome ones upstairs). I don't think it was that the menu was inferior to the other, I just think the bartender didn't care. Both my drinks were watered down and icy. Pretty sad for the price to be honest. It got pretty crowded for the second set being played so we decided to leave to let other people sit. I wasn't interested in having another icy sad drink.

The pepitas with the pistachio butter and beets were excellent, and the burrata added a creamy touch. We also tried the frites and fondue. The fries were thick and browned how I like them, but the fondue wasn't my favorite and was a little too overpowering in flavor for my taste. The parmesan on top of the fries was a nice touch.

The ambiance is nice, and the service was fine. They checked on us frequently but not entirely friendly, maybe our waitress was having a bad day.
