I was told 1 hour wait, lots of “reservations” but there were lots of empty tables so I opened my open table app and made a reservation for the exact time I was there. Insane

No good. Food was either cold or terrible. Their idea of a Cacio de Pepsi pizza was horrible. The pasta came cold. Food was not good

Loved the restaurant!! Delicious food ‘ Great service! Beautiful atmosphere! It’s very well designed. Very inviting . I like the variety of spaces to sit . Very clever use of the space . Only problem is the noise level in the new space. They need to add some absorbing material. I’d definitely go back & recommend it .

We’ve been coming here for a couple of years now. We love it! The menu is not the standard California trendy… really innovative dishes with lots of variety. Every dish we’ve had has been excellent. Service is friendly and professional but not intrusive or officious. Highly recommend.

We went for brunch on a busy Sunday but got seated after a very brief wait. The service was superb. Our waiter had a great sense of humor and was also very efficient. The food was very good and we will be back. But it's gotten so expensive. It seems not just to be keeping up with, but staying ahead of inflation.

Food was good, not great. The new space is lovely, well designed and a great addition to Montana. The bar is a little small to take any business away from R&D and the 2 sharing tables are a clumsy mistake. The service was good, but They need to train and invest in good experienced Management
