It took us a minute to find it - as it is located on a pedestrian only road. It's a counter service restaurant with limited seating - thankfully, on a weekday, it wasn't too busy. I opted for their steak bowl - which was truly so delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the mix of rice, veggies, and the avocado crema and chimichurri was exceptional. The serving size was also generous! My husband opted for the philly cheesesteak, and he seemed to really enjoy it...as he finished it all! I also loved the focus on have locally made drinks or companies represented!

I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but it fell flat for me! The people were…read morenice, the service was good, the food was okay but nothing made me say "WOW" like Post Malone. The ambiance was very minimalist, and the dining room was basically empty when we arrived. Again, the food looked better than it tasted. There was nothing objectively wrong with the food, it was just not great if that makes sense. The chicken on the chicken and waffles was crispy, hot, and fresh but the flavor just wasn't there. The breading was good but that is where the flavor stopped. The waffle was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and they even used real maple syrup! But again the flavor was just lacking for some reason. We ended up taking half of our food home with us which is NEVER a good sign. I might give this place another shot on a different day. Also, the coleslaw on the chicken sandwich had no flavor which made the sandwich even less impressive. Nothing to see here in my opinion.

Not one single complaint or mention of having to wait. Wow! There are a good variety of beer options. I sampled the Kolch, German lager, and Czech lager. All were good. Glad to see a good variety beyond just IPA. Sorry not an IPA fan. Too bitter, and not my cup of tea. Enjoyed my adult beverages with a brat, house mustard (yum!), and loaded fries. All wee good and price was less than what I expected. Glad I found Mt Ascension and stopped by. I will be sure to return when in the area.

Once I saw it on the menu I had to get the GIGANTIC PRETZEL (GP). It was gigantic and it was a pretzel. Great crispy outside and soft warm perfectly cooked inside. Get it, you won't regret it. We all loved it and the queso and hot mustard were a great match. I had the wings, buffalo sauce, and it came with fries. Both were really good. So much food I only ate 4 wings and 1/2 the fries. GP still weighing heavy in my gullet! The Wife had the Classic Mac and Cheese - nice taste but Luke warm instead of hot. Should have sent back to warm up. Her choice. The Kid had the brisket sandwich and garlic parm fries. The sandwich was so big., she ate 1/2 and hardly touched her fries. The fries were delish, as I had to sample a couple for review purposes. The Friend had a Buffalo chicken salad and The Other Friend had enchiladas. Both enjoyed their meals and had leftovers as the servings are generous. Great Time. Great Food. Great Service. Go! Eat Very Well!! HAVE FUN!!!

I'm hoping Brooklynn is new to the service profession. She seemed very distracted, forgetting to bring coffee after three requests and never returning with a soda refill.

The host seated us; informed us of the timing when giving us the menus for dinner service. The menu is vast for dinner with multiple appetizers, salads, pasta options and main courses. Added to that is a great wine list and a 'special' list as well. Unfortunately for me, the timing of our arrival meant the stuffed grapes leaves were not available (they were being made when I requested and needed time to marinate and chill), so..I chose the tapenade with veggies being a GF gal. Delicious choice!! Hubby wanted dessert- our host/waitstaff was able to secure the last piece of carrot cake for him which was absolutely delicious! Wine choice for me was a French Sauvignon Blanc- perfectly chilled, excellent wine. An amazing mid day snack for us with excellent service and food!

Every sauce we tried was bitter -- the hummus, baba ghanoush, and even the tzatziki, which is usually a safe bet anywhere. The baba ghanoush in particular was shockingly bitter, nothing like what you'd expect at other Mediterranean restaurants. The meats were bland and under-seasoned, and overall the food lacked balance and flavor. On top of that, the atmosphere was incredibly off-putting. We could clearly hear cooks and waitstaff talking trash and making inappropriate, disrespectful comments. It was uncomfortable and honestly felt more like being at a Waffle House at 3 a.m. than a sit-down Mediterranean restaurant. It feels like the menu needs to be tasted and adjusted by someone who actually understands Mediterranean flavors, and the staff needs basic professionalism. Even the bread could be good with a small tweak, but everything feels slightly off. We kept coming back hoping it would improve, but after this visit, we're done. We won't be back.

Its primary selling point is local--using beef from local ranches, encouraging Montanans to eat Montana raised products. All good. The interior is spacious, especially on the mezzanine. The airy feeling and subdued colors help to set a comfy vibe. All good. My group was there for dinner although locals claim lunch is better. It's difficult to see how that could be: the starters, a huge plate of lightly battered onions and mushrooms really went well with the curated list of beers and wines. The pea Ceasar salad was creative and oh so very good, and huge. My ribeye from Helmville was so tender, packed with flavor. Others raved over the sirloin. The sides were tasty and generous too--get the smashed Yukons. All Great. However, kitchen timing was terrible. We were just into the salads when the steaks arrived. Really. If you want to be upscale, hey manage your place. All Bad.

Although we were the only ones it took over ten minutes for our order to be completed. We didn't complain as I work in the service industry myself and I know near closing time there can be quite a bit to get prepared for the following day. The young man who made our drinks apologized on delivering our drinks and explained the latte is a complicated drink and takes some time to prepare. With such a remark I thought he was probably just new so we thanked him and went on our way. When we got in our car our lids popped off both of our drinks spilling a significant of liquid in our car. The lid on mine could not be secured again. This was annoying however the worst thing was my husband's latte. It was terrible. I'm thinking maybe it wasn't mixed properly. It was all milky on top and the bottom was all orange flavoring. There was no cayenne flavor. Please Hub coffee. You have good drink specials. My husband loved this Dark Orange Mocha last time he had it. But you really need to train your staff better. And maybe take a look at your lids as well please.
