10. The Old Brogue

Reviewed By KenCookie
We moved from Great Falls several years ago; when we lived there, The Old Brogue was our neighborhood âgo toâ place. We now live in a âfoodieâ town, and we wondered if The Old Brogue would still please us after many years of being away.It was wonderful. We saw many of the same wait staffâabsolute professionals who have worked there for a decade or two. Nicely, another lovely outdoor patio has been added, though we chose to dine indoors. The calfâs liver was wonderful, as were the fish and chips, as was the grilled salmon. Happily, the Irish whiskey cake is still on the menu.No, they donât take reservations; but we only had to wait five minutes for a table.
9. Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant

Our group of 4 couples first tasted some wines, then visited the restaurant on site. The wine tasting offered 2 different schemes, depending on your wine preferences. This was a good option, because each couple chose different tastings in order to try all of the possibilities. Many wines were excellent, though some were pricey. One tasting offered a choice from the 'chocolates and truffles' display. If you like chocolate, this was a great option. We all bought a small selection of wines and moved to the restaurant. Nice menu with lots of items for lunch or dinner. I chose 2 appetizers, the pot stickers (w/pork) and the crab/lobster bisque. This turned out to be an excellent combination. Others were all over the menu with their choices, but everyone liked the food. Overall, we were impressed with Cooper's Hawk.
8. The Bungalow Lakehouse

This was our third visit to the Bungalow Lakehouse and our anniversary dinner. We ordered two splits of sparkling wine to start, and our server neglected to tell us they were out of the wine we ordered and just started pouring splits of Korbel. We did not accept this, and the wine was taken off our tab. We then ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir that was fine and crab poppers that were ok. My husband ordered a cup of lobster bisque and we both ordered side salads and prime rib entrees. The soup arrived first as expected, but our entrees and salads all came out at the same time. We spoke to the manager who gave us a gift card, but this was definitely not the anniversary dinner we were expecting.

Stoneâs Cove KitBar combines the design of a kitchen and a bar to create one large communal table that surrounds the restaurantâs kitchen.
Reviewed By TravelinManTravelin
First time dining at Kitbar and was quite pleased with the food and ambiance, the MEGA wrap around bar was very interesting, but my so called Chef/ server was pretty lame, really didn't have a good personality and would have been better off working at the Tire Center at Costco. The food was really good and I highly recommend their Cheesy Onion soup. Had the Fish Taco's for main dish and it was great

My wife has wanted to try this place for a long time and we finally ate dinner there. Luckily, we went during restaurant week - appetizer, entree, qand dessert was only $35. I had the shrimp tempura roll appetizer, cioppino for my main, and vanilla creme brulee for dessert. My wife had the ceviche appetizer, mussels & fries main, and chocolate mousse bomb for dessert. All were really good/excellent. The ciopino was as godd as those that I have had in San Francisco. My wife especially loved the mussels. We also had a bottle of wine - very good price on a bottle. The waiter was especially great - there when you need him and very courteous/professional. Great experience and we will return.

4. Ford's Fish Shack

Heard a lot about Fordâs Fish Shack and decided to try it while visiting family. Made a reservation for a party of 5 and wanted to increase it to 10 on fairly short notice. The restaurant accommodated us with no problem. One waiter served our table and was friendly, knowledgeable and patient as many of us had questions about the menu. Appetizers for the table included calimari, firecracker shrimp and shrimp cocktail. The firecracker shrimp and shrimp cocktail were excellent. Some thought the calimari was a little rubbery. It was amazing how quickly the appetizers came out. Entrees included pecan trout, crab cakes, steamed shrimp and traditional lobster roll. The trout was delicious and fresh. No fishy taste. Crab Cakes had very little filler and was enjoyed by all who ordered it. The waiter recommended the Connecticut style lobster roll but I wanted to try traditional first. I should have listed to the waiter. Was also disappointed with the amount of lobster. It ordered coleslaw and it came with grilled corn. The coleslaw was interesting but I prefer a vinegar based slaw. The grilled corn was excellent.The restaurant serves baskets of little corn bread muffins that were outstanding. Moist and actually had corn in the muffins so it couldnât come out of a box. Really good. Overall great service, good food. Fun place!

A nostalgic nod to mid century Americana and comfort food classics and some unexpected twists (a la sushi) in an upbeat 1940's dinner house.

Came to jacksonâs on the rec of a friend while visiting town center. The bread they serve on the table is more like dessert and just delicious. great drinks. had a bellini and my friend had the mojito. yum. My friend had the steak sandwich and fries. delicious shoestring style. I had the chicken salad not sure what they call it. Has avocado blue cheese chicken pecans greens with a champagne vinaigrette. everything was delicious. our servers were just super pleasant and helpful. seating inside was comfortable. They do have a nice outdoor seating area but it was a bit humid for us to be outside. prices were average. I would def go back and highly recommend.

American casual restaurant with a micro brewery serving a western inspired menu.
Reviewed By Jim J
Haven't eaten here for a while since moving out of the area, but we were very happy to return for lunch. The food is as good as we remember and the draft beers are always good. You can't go wrong with a Great American Pale Ale. The fish tacos were delicious and so was the chicken sandwich. We ate at the bar, since our time was limited, but our server Christina was friendly and efficient. Sure wish they would expand to the Richmond area!
