One of our top restaurants in a valley known for fabulous dining options. Tundra never disappoints. The food is outstanding AND the chef thoughtfully alters dishes to accommodate my food sensitivities. Service is always fabulous—tonight we were delighted to be served by one of our favorite servers—Kevin! He is so knowledgeable and professional, plus a delightful person! The wine list is good and the atmosphere is cozy. We keep coming back!

We love this place and have dined here on special occasions for many years. We enjoyed our “go to” entrees of bison short rib and lobster and shrimp ravioli. We started with the fantastic calamari appetizer and ended with marvelous chocolate lava cake and coffee. The bison lasagna is also a favorite. We treat our out of town guests with a delicious meal here and they are impressed we have such an authentic Italian restaurant in our little mountain town.

Great place to have a birthday dinner. Service was great even with it being very busy. Views were great and the food was delicious. Only bummer is the street noise with loud motorcycles and cars but that’s at no fault of the restaurant. More of a heads up to expect it. We found our new favorite place!

The tasting menu was very well designed and executed. The wine pairings were on point. The interaction of the staff with each other and the chef/owner made it super fun. We sat together at a large table and interaction among the guests was encouraged and made it a memorable experience. We will definitely do this again. And now they do a Sunday brunch. Gonna have to try that next!
