A Swing and a Miss
I was really excited to try Big Sky's newest fine dining restaurant, but unfortunately the experience didn't quite live up to the price point.
Service: 2/5
When we arrived the restaurant was mostly empty, but we were seated at a back corner table that was the only one in the room without a view. I asked if it might be possible to sit elsewhere and was told it wasn't.
After being seated, it took over 30 minutes before our server came by to take even a drink order. Bread arrived at the same time as our first course (which would have been appreciated during that initial wait), and one of the pieces was noticeably stale. We ordered four courses expecting them to be paced out, but they all arrived at once. Throughout the meal we also had to request water refills, and no one checked in to see how the food was.
Food: 3/5
There were some highlights. The almond croissants were excellent, and both the duck and the ravioli were good. The lamb curry, however, was a miss. It was served inside a roasted squash that was rock hard and difficult to eat.
Ambiance: 1/5 for our experience
The restaurant itself appears beautiful and I imagine most tables have a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, our table was tucked into a corner with no view, which made the experience feel quite different from what the rest of the dining room seemed to offer.
For a $500 dinner we expected a bit more attention to service and pacing. The restaurant clearly has potential, but the overall experience felt underwhelming read more
