    Embarrassing small sized portions at ridiculously high prices. The seafood tower is $150 and comes to the table with scant amounts of seafood. The scallops are more than $50 and come with four medium sized (at best) scallops. They charge $9 for bread. And they charge a "kitchen service fee" plus tax and tip of course. Sure, Vail has a touristy component, but this was outrageous. I rarely write reviews, but the public should be alerted to this one.

    Fabulous. When we arrive in Vail, the first night we always go to Montana Seafood & Grill. We share a fish dish. Not a heavy meal but my husband sleeps better because of the high altitude.

    Ordered tuna it was rare but not great quality. Vegetable's came with it looked like a Cole slaw but were served hot, they were a strange mixture and not appetizing, served with a rice cake, unusual combo . The whole plate was not appealing.

    Always reliably good seafood. Mussels were delicious as was the clam chowder. Great service. A bit on the noisy side. Crowded even on a Monday night.

    The prices are at least 10% higher than the menu you see on Open Table. Then the service was slow and for the price I hoped they would at least had bread and butter at the table. The ambience wasn’t so great, kind of loud and they haven’t cleaned their cob webs from the lights or ceiling in years. The dinner itself was good but not great for what I expected at the price.
