The service was absolutely amazing. Rebecca was very attentive, friendly, yet allowed my husband and time to visit. Rebecca made excellent appetizer and food recommendations. Originally only in for the amazing happy hour, we stayed and had the Bolegenese--delicious. The happy hour wine was a great steal at $5 and also delicious. I'm not a cauliflower fan but the happy hour buffalo style cauliflower is so, so good. Highly recommend!

Nice, cozy bar and restaurant. Fireplace. Food was so-so in our experience. My wife's Hot Pot Korean soup was a blend of several things that should not be blended. The result was tasteless. My hamburger was very good. The fried calamari was pretty good, but served with a small bit of bland wasabi/mayonnaise blend, so we asked and got some wasabi and soy sauce.

Our server Andrew was amazing and that is the main reason we are giving all 4 stars. We knew the food at the boat club wasn’t all that good but we never expected the same from the firebrand the deserts were devine but our food was obviously under cook and tasted like fish sticks you got from the store and we were expecting the corn tortillas to be at least warm not cold. The duck wings were very delicious and the salads were also very good. The drinks were very well made and the shots weren’t over poured.

Overall a good experience for a hotel lobby bar. Burger was top notch. Old fashioned was well made. Open lobby bar style makes the place a bit too busy.

Marshall was very knowledable and friendly. The margarita and huckleberry spiked lemonade were made to perfection. We had lunch there, the avacado toast was seasoned well with the red pepper on top of runny yolk filled eggs. The chicken 'n' biscuit was the best my husband and I have ever had in our lives. It wasn't just chicken, the beading was phenomenal and the sauce was similar to a sweet hollandaise sauce. The biscuit was made in house made too. Cheap prices for the quality of food.

My husband and I just had the pleasure of eating dinner at the firebrand restaurant in downtown Whitefish. The host was really kind and personable. He was upfront with us about what menu items weren't available, which we appreciated. Our busy waitress Debbie was kind and attentive. My husband got a beer and I got a muel cocktail. Both were delicious. My husband ordered the ahi tuna tacos. It normally comes with 3 but he ordered a 4th and was glad he did. They are VERY tasty. But they are very small. I ordered the sliders. It came with 2 small sliders topped with bacon and a quail egg as well as a side of home made chips. The chips were large in size, crispy, and so good (very salty). The sliders had such layered flavors! Everything we ate and drank was delicious. However the portions are small and the price expensive. If price isn't an issue, I'd highly recommend this restaurant

Had the prime rib, I think I got 5 bites off the extremely rare steak, flavor was medium, salad I got 4 bites and it was gone! For $65, no thanks, will not be going back there again!

If I could give zero stars I would. Rudest and most condescending staff. They forgot our order and brought the check before we received the items and they never asked us if we'd like another drink or if everything was fine. I am appalled at the staffs treatment of its patrons. The portions were extremely small. Avoid this place. It was $88 for 3 drinks, 4 ice creams, calamari and fried cauliflower.

We ordered all of the happy hour food! Chips, cauliflower and duck wings were amazing! Service was superb and beautiful ambiance!

We sat on the patio which faces out to the sometimes noisy Second St in downtown Whitefish. It was a pleasant evening, not cold, with the late afternoon sun. We ordered a mix of light bites and drinks. My mojito was ok. It looked pretty but was a little weak. We enjoyed the Cauliflower which was fried in a buffalo tempura batter and served with ranch dipping sauce. These were crisp, tangy and delicious. We ordered the Hot Rock with wagyu--molten lava rock that we cooked thinly sliced wagyu with ponzu sauce. The wagyu stuck to the rock a little and only took about 15 seconds each side. These were tender, tasty but there just only six small slices. This was not enough -- glad the server emphasized it was a small portion because it could not have served as an entree. The lettuce wraps with pork, pickled vegetables and kimchi was good, though only 4 pieces of lettuce seemed miserly. We finished with the huckleberry crème brûlée, which was studded with tiny huckleberries. The top was like a sheet of thick glaze with huckleberry and hint of burnt caramel and gave a very satisfying crack. I think this was the best use of huckleberry all week. The food was delicious and one of our better meals this week. Service was friendly and helpful although I think there was a long wait for our food.

Restaurant is in a hotel in downtown Whitefish. The food menu is short and concise. You get a little taste of everything here. I wish the salad had more dressing but other than that, the food was great. I cleaned up my plate. The "Hot pot" was a deconstructed twist on a hotpot. I've had many hot pots traditionally so if you are expecting that, don't. It's a fun and tasty flare on this tradition. The tofu purée was very different so I recommend mixing everything and/or getting a bite of everything in one spoon with the dashi broth. Salty and umami! Jake was incredible and attentive!

A large group of us came in last night and waited nearly two hours for entrees to come out. The food was cold and lacked flavor. Although the service was friendly it was incredibly slow, and it took three hours to get in/out.

Yelp
Tasteless overpriced trash. Do not eat here. The ambience is fine. The service okay. Food just bad. A piece of dry salmon, no lemon, no seasoning, no sauce. Served on a scoop of couscous on a salad plate. I asked for bread and any sauce. 15 minutes later received ranch dressing and three stale small toasts. Was charged an extra $5 on my $40 bill for my request without being advised prior. $40 for the above, no drinks. I've eaten here before and it was bad. Tonight's lousy meal demanded this review.

Super cool location and decor. Food was good but service a little slow or would have been 5 stars. Menu is a little limited

Great service and view. !!!!!!!!! Food was great too and local. Great for small bites or big bites!!!!

Maureen B.

Yelp
If I could give negative stars, I would. Just know that the "fire" in "firebrand" means you will get food that is burned worse than the bottom of a charcoal grill after cooking all day on the 4th of July. No flavor. Unless you like coal. Also, the staff bussing tables was amazing but the waitress was missing most of the meal. Ambiance may be the only thing going for this place, but in Whitefish, MT that is a given. I will say the manager was apologetic and provided desserts which was super kind. However they also were so terrible (one not edible at all) it just underscored the reason to never return.

We were staying at the hotel and popped in for breakfast. Phenomenal! The inside is SO cute! We were greeted and sat promptly. Everything was delicious, from the coffee to mimosa to our entrees. I got the Duck Madam? And my husband got the steak and eggs with a side of buckwheat pancakes. It was all so delectable. Especially mine! We will definitely come back for dinner!

Morgan S.

Yelp
Very disappointed in the service here! It took over and hour and a half to get in and out of this place and we were the only group in there! The waitress was very unprofessional and didn't check on us once! The food wasn't terrible but it was cold due to lack of service being efficient! Wouldn't recommend this at all

Sigh... Like so many other places in Whitefish, this place has grown to be more pretense than substance. I came for some GREAT live music and had to ask the front desk people to turn the house music off! The Ahi tuna was dry, but OK-ish... Many of the menu items are like SO last year. A huge bright spot was the delicious grilled peppers, but overall the menu is kinda boring without being boring in a good way, like, meat n' potatoes.

Debbie S.

Saturday we went to listen to live music. She was great, made our experience even better. Had their sliders and chips which were good.

Really cool place located inside the fire brand hotel. Staff super friendly with great service. Nice beer options and happy hour for small bites

Pro: food and drinks were good. Beautiful setting Con: service was incredibly slow and inattentive. We finally walked out after flagging down multiple waiters for over 20 min after being seated. Either under-staffed or under-trained.

Eli S.

Yelp
The restaurant is located inside a hotel. We had the buffalo cauliflower, burger and the Caesar salad with grilled chicken. The food was excellent! The live music was fantastic, and the ambiance was very welcome. Being one of our stops during our road trip, it was a welcome end to an evening after driving all day.

I had local beers and a huckleberry cocktail at the bar. The bartender was friendly and they had good crowd. Very layback, chill, hip place to enjoy your time. The price was really cheap.

This place had a Yelp 3.5 star rating, and I didn't consider it much for brunch on a Tuesday while in the Flathead Valley area. However, we reviewed the menu, saw the delicious huckleberry French toast and fried chicken biscuit on there, and couldn't resist! We decided to give it a shot. The waiter was extremely kind and helpful. We were seated outside (in a socially distant manner). Their outdoor patio is wonderful and you can catch the sights and sounds of downtown Whitefish from there. Indoor seating looked great as well. Our food tasted DELICIOUS. They were out of biscuits so they put our fried chicken on sourdough bread which was still fantastic. It was made of white breast meat and breaded/ fried to perfection. The French toast was generous - the equivalent of 3 large toasts. However, it didn't feel too heavy at all white the right amount of huckleberry compote and butter. I definitely recommend this place, and hope more people can visit and up its Yelp rating!

We were staying at the Firebrand and I saw they had huckleberry creme brûlée so I knew we had to visit the restaurant at least once! We had the caesar salad to share and it was very good. We both had the filet which was cooked perfectly and so tender. The sides and compote butter were delicious as well. The huckleberry creme brûlée was amazing! I also had the mountain mule which was very good too. Despite what other reviews have said, the service was very prompt! Dyanne was our server and she was great!

Setting: The restaurant is inside of the hotel and it is pretty spacious with comfortable seating. The atmosphere is nice and it is a pretty relaxed environment. They play live music on certain days such as Wednesdays and Saturdays. Food: We came here for breakfast and got the avocado toast and the Greek yogurt with granola and fruit. The avocado toast was really good and had a poached egg on top. The avocado had small pieces of salami but if you wanted to make a fully vegetarian, you could probably ask them to remove it. Would definitely order the toast again. The Greek yogurt was a little sour but tasted excellent after we added some honey. The fruit was fresh and the granola with tasty as well. The following morning, we got a berry smoothie that cost $6.50. I mainly got a smoothie because I saw another gas order and it looked really good. However when I got my smoothie, it was made by a different person and it did not look as appetizing. Originally it was very bulky and not liquidy and so I asked them to add some extra milk to make it more liquidy. Overall the smoothie did not taste very good but that might be because of the modifications requested. Value: Because the restaurant is in a hotel and slightly more upscale, we expected the prices to be a little higher. The avocado toast seemed fairly priced given the setting and it was $12. The Greek yogurt, in my opinion, was overpriced at nine dollars because it was basically just regular yogurt with some fruit and granola. It also didn't taste amazing and so it didn't feel like the best value. Service: The service was excellent and all of the staff were wearing masks. They were very attentive and frequently checking on us to see if we needed anything else. They weren't doing limited capacity dining because of Covid. It seemed as if guests could sit pretty much wherever they wanted. Other: We mainly came here because we got a $15 voucher from the hotel because we were there for our honeymoon. We probably would not have eaten there otherwise because it seemed overpriced.

Came in for happy hour. Great prices for drink and small bites. The cheese plate was a disappointment-old grapes and hard salami. The egg rolls were greasy. The chips were good and didn't need the melted cheese. We mentioned the old grapes and they graciously removed the charge for the cheese board. Server Nick did a great job serving us.

I was thrilled to find one of my favorite beers here! The Chili Nelson Poblano ale from Conflux brewing in Missoula was a perfect pairing with the Bison sliders with poblano aioli. Soooo delish!!!

Menu was super limited and not inclusive at all. Drinks were so expensive, way cheaper a few blocks over.

We sought a higher level of attention and quality of food for an upscale hotel/spa restaurant. It took our group 15 minutes to be seated, for a restaurant that had hardly any tables filled and our table held as reserved. Simply put, we stood at the front desk without anyone coming to talk or seat us for that period of time. Once seated, our waitress was delayed in getting to us, as it appears they were understaffed. We were about to walk out when she came over. We asked about the level of service to expect and were told they were understaffed, and to expect the same everywhere. None the less we ordered drinks and 3 appetizers. We were informed one of the two entrees (fish and chips) was not on the menu and neither was the beet salad. Both were eyed as being items we desired. Ultimately, the pot stickers were good. The rabbit was a bit tough. The duck crostini was not crusty. There is room for improvement. We noted the front desk had an employee who was not taking any effort to help the bar or waitress, rather staring listlessly at a computer screen. Ambience was that of a hotel restaurant in the lobby area. Good bar, but not for the prices charged for the appetizers. We watched as at least two other parties came in, and walked away without being seated. Good luck to getting staffed appropriately and living up to what appears to be a restaurant that isn't keeping up with the higher brand level of the hotel/spa it resides in.

We stopped by for dinner tonight because there were no reservations in town. Glad we did! Everyone was so nice and our waitress Kara was adorable and so attentive! Hubby ordered the chicken leg appetizer and looked yummy! The chaser salad was good and the ranch dressing delicious. Hubby got the burger and was huge! The French fries were delicious too! Will have to go back to the roof top soon! Thanks Kara for the great service!

Overall: Great atmosphere, overpriced food, and split staff. I have been anxious to try this place, so last week a group of us went for food and drinks. Thw drinks were great (though my 3 ounce margarita was $12 whereas my other friends giant drink was $6, so I recommend asking before ordering drinks). The food was good (almost great), but portions were tiny. I usually eat 1/4 of what I order. I ate it all and was still very hungry. Then I asked if their butterscotch cookie skillet was big enough for the 10 of us to share. She said yes, so I ordered it. Not only was it SERIOUSLY tiny (see photo), but it was horrible (tasted like pure sugar with a disgusting aftertaste). The waitress was rude and it just made me feel tense. I'll try it again for drinks, but will opt for food at one of the many other Whitefish establishments that serve up delicious food in portions that satisfy (Pescado Blanco, Abruzzo, etc.).

Yelp
Nice looking place, but our meals took over an hour to be served. Even worse, one person did not get their meal & it arrived 30 minutes after that! While waiting we were never offered drink refills, and the bartender was blatant in ignoring us standing at the bar to order there. Finally, the avocado offered on one of the meals was hard as a rock & inedible so it had to be picked out. Hmmm

Erbira B.

Yelp
We absolutely loved this place! We came for happy hour on a Monday and they had a shrimp special, it was delicious. We ordered appetizers, wine and beer and that ended up being dinner. Then we returned for dinner later in the week. We ordered the poutine, patatas, and steak frites. Everything was delicious. Wine was great. Service was very friendly. The restaurant has a very modern rustic decor. It's not cheap but I think it's worth the price. Highly recommend!

Love this restaurant. Atmosphere is great, food amazing, staff is gracious and accommodating. Good food and good people best describe Firebrand. We were staying in Whitefish last week and so happy we came in and ate. They had a great musician there playing live music, just a great place to hangout and have a really good meal, you can't go wrong here. Thanks again for a great service, atmosphere and of course food, we'll be back.

We stopped in for a cocktail after an afternoon of sledding. The bar opens at 4 so we sat by the fire for 30 minutes waiting and chatting! Come 4:00 the waiter helped everyone who was walking up before even asking us for a drink order . We were the 1st ones in by 30 min. After asking to place a drink order it took 45 minutes for the drinks to arrive.. One drink was wrong and wasn't corrected until I had to walk up to the bartender specifically! We all know there is a staffing shortage so I understand things can happen but a quick apology or maybe just some effort would be appreciated.. Mostly my issue was a $20 tip added to 7 drinks with out telling us! That's a first for me where the waiter did not tell us the tip was added. No reason for that at all! Just a shady move if you ask me.. the tip being automatically added with no communication is my drive for the review . one star for ambiance because it's super cute and cozy in there!

Nice place for a bite. Cozy comfortable seating. Welcoming employees. Happy hour menu although small had good options. The main menu was great. Our group had the filet and the gnocchi and we all loved it.

We are visiting from PSL, Florida for our honeymoon and in addition to the hotel this restaurant has exceeded all of our expectations! Gourmet chef creations at an affordable price point, especially compared to Florida. We have eaten dinner and breakfast here with 5 more days to explore the menu! We have loved every bit so far! If you haven't been, you're missing out.

Kayla C.

Yelp
A friend and I recently went here for dinner and were very impressed! Our server Sarah was friendly and gave great suggestions for dinner. We started with the duck bruschetta for an appetizer and each had the filet for dinner. Everything was so unique and flavorful! I would have never though huckleberry Demi glaze would go with a filet but it paired so well! We had the lavender creme brûlée to finish our meal. Hats off to the chef for creating a unique and delicious menu. Next time I'm in whitefish, I will definitely be back!

Food was quite good. I see a some complaints about service. Personally we had no such issues. Sounds like people want to complain when places get crowded. We had breakfast here and we very happy with it and will return. Its a nice comfy space

Maybe in the past they have had issues with service but that is ABSOLUTELY not the case anymore. Lexi was absolutely amazing the entire time we were here. Super knowledgeable about drinks, food.... Exceeded all expectations. We had some crazy coupons and a three way check but she never treated us any different. Martinis! Tito's all the way. So good. We had the special clams and the calamari. They were amazing. The clams had fresh roasted tomato and basil with crusty bread to soak up all the luscious juice.... tender and succulent and not one grit! The calamari was amazing. Two different sauces, one creamy one vinegar based and both delicious. Lots of charred vegetables too. I would absolutely come here again, in fact, I can't wait. Ignore the bad reviews, and just go.

Brad R.

Yelp
Just walking by and hit the happy hour which only has a limited menu. It was a challenge to get service, but perhaps that's because the it was a Wednesday at 4. Once service was acquired the food was limited, but it was tasty and everyone seemed to like. It's a lounge in the hotel so perhaps if staying here this would be a more viable option.

Yelp
Attempted to eat here with my family on vacation & they refused to serve us. We had a party of 12 & told them we would split up into groups to make it easier on them & we were in no rush (they only had 3 other tables occupied in the restraunt). They stated they only have one cook & it would be too hard for him. We were very respectful the whole time, but they still told us they can't serve us. Looked like good food just not good management.

Wow! This is a beautiful Hotel with such a friendly and helpful group of people! The common area is inviting and the bar is stocked with wonderful wines and draft beer! I had a local beef that I have been lo king for everywhere!!! It is black grout oatmeal stout-nitro We browsed through the menu and the selection was mouth watered! We were here for the Inspired Women 2017 Conference! The brunch served in the Firebrand dining area was fantastic! The staff not only handled this rowdy, wonderful and enthusiastic bunch they EMBRACED us and were so very accommodating and professional! The food was excellent and there was plenty for everyone!!!! I was very sad that I did not order the Mimosa! I had to drive home!

Ohhhh Firebrand....you could be so good if you really wanted to..... A group of friends and I arrived at 8:45 on a Monday night looking for tapas, drinks and dessert. We were told by the waitress Allison that we only had 15 minutes to order til the kitchen closed, that we better order soon, that she was here eating dinner with her husband and usually worked the morning shift, that she had to be at work the following morning...but she was the only one there other than the bar tender and so she felt obligated to serve us..... Well, of course that didn't make us feel welcome...but we are all local foodies so of course we had to test this place out... We ordered the Wagyu Sliders, Crab Arancini, three Creme Brulees, a Cookie Skillet, several Chocolate Martinis, a Drunken Pumpkin, a couple of Manhattans, and an espresso. They we're out of the Huckleberry Mud Pie. The tapas we're outstanding. I would get them again. The Brulees were not well set up but very tasty. Compliments to the chef!! The service was, as described, questionable and confusing. Why aren't there enough staff? Why would Allison feel obligated to serve us off duty? What was up with the bar tender? The first Chocolate Martini was outstanding, the other two...not so much... chocolate swirl was forgotten, too much vodka....he was rude to my friend. The Drunken Pumpkin tasted, as described by my friend, nothing like it sounded. We asked to have it remade and it wasn't any better....the bar tender was irritated we asked... My most disappointing discovery....they advertise a Shrimple Monday Special online and they didn't offer it to us...what gives??? A far cry from the service and consistency we had just come from at Latitude 48. This is one of the places that the Averill's own (Boat Club Lounge, Whitefish Lake LoLodgedge) and they are usually consistently hit or miss for service and awesome for cuisine.....

This is a tough one. I am a local girl and was out with my 6 friends on a Monday night for our 16th wedding anniversary. We strolled in "late" around 8:45p and instantly felt unwanted. We were quickly informed the kitchen was closing soon and it would even be difficult to get drinks. Now, if we were unruly or drunk or something this would make sense. But this was not the case. Then we were told that the bar was open till 11p. So...then I guess it would be okay to get a drink. ?? What about dessert? Such a mess. We apparently were being waited on by the morning manager who just came in for dinner with her husband...she wasn't even on shift and was drinking with her dinner. We did eventually see the bartender, but only when we walked up to the bar. There were about 10 people there. So, not so busy on a Monday that we couldn't have gotten adequate service. We ended up ordering (maybe out of spite) the arancini, wagyu sliders, three creme brûlées, and chocolate cookie. Then we got two manhattans, a cappuccino, 2 chocolate martinis and a drunken pumpkin. When we went to order a certain drink, he informed us all the things he couldn't make due to ingredients, so my sister ordered a drunken pumpkin. She did not like her drunken pumpkin, it tasted just not right, so I took it up to Keith who was pretty crappy about switching it out. He was rude. After I waited patiently for him, I told him it didn't taste right and he grabbed it and threw it down the drain. And charged me for that drink. The chocolate martini he made instead tasted terrible too. It's not about the alcohol its about the flavor. And he somehow thought that if he dumped a ton of vodka into it, we would somehow be okay with it. Nope. Tasted like vodka and some chocolate milk. While the first one made, was made the way it should have tasted. The food was actually super tasty. And if it wasn't for the service which as you know dominates a lot of your experience, I might consider returning. The sauce for the sliders was very tasty and so was the sauce for the arancini. I loved how they were with forbidden black rice. I liked this touch very much. The brûlées were so tasty and would have liked to have tried the huckleberry mudpie, but they were out. The kitchen is the star of this show, while service brings it down to crap level. Allison tried to make up for it, but it just didn't work. Once we told her we were local she tried to change her treatment of us, but that kinda made us irritated. See, we locals live off the service industry and the tourist industry. Many of us have jobs directly affected by tourists. Sure it can be sometimes annoying, but you want to live? you want to eat? Tourism. mic drop. There should not be a disparity between how we treat locals and how we treat out of towners. Not in Whitefish, not anywhere. The overwhelming horrible service, will bite these guys for years to come. See, I don't just come to visit once a summer, or once in my life, I live down the street. So, this is a sad review for me and a sad experience. I will not be wasting my time coming back and will not be bringing any more friends here. Sorry, because I would have liked to try that huck mudpie.

If I could give this hotel more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat. My boyfriend & I came here for our Thanksgiving vacation to spend the Holidays with my family. This hotel has a stylish rustic twist throughout which made it feel like you were staying in an upscale winter lodge. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a smile! The restaurant & bar had a cozy, modern ambiance with a fireplace and upbeat music in the background. Their coffee bar makes fresh muffins every morning & just warning you in advance, the huckleberry ones are dangerously good! The rooms are inviting with the options of moody lighting. A "don't want to get out of bed" mattress, large walk-in shower, and spacey closets. Also, three words... rooftop hot tub. Relaxing while enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding mountains is the perfect way to unwind. Unexpectedly, my grandma on the East Coast had passed away during our stay & we had to leave immediately. The staff was more than sympathetic & accommodating to our situation and refunded our money for the days we were unable to be there. Being in a state of duress, I can't thank the Firebrand enough for their hospitality. Receiving this type of above-and-beyond customer service during a difficult time is rare & appreciate it more than they know. We are already looking forward to staying here again. There is no other place to stay Whitefish - take full advantage & make your visit memorable!

Been going there for a few years now. I keep going back. Why? Great staff. Very attentive and social. Good selection of food and drink. Nice atmosphere. I always enjoy stopping in. Glad to see Rob back. He does a fine job at all levels. Thank you to all the staff I see on a regular basis. Keep up the good work

Tomas Fitzgerald is a 29 year old superstar in the making. If you go to this restaurant without doing the "Chefs Table" tasting menu you are missing out. He brings Scandinavian fresh flavors to local products. So happy we did the tasting. Cheers Mr. Fitzgerald!

French toast with Marion berries was phenomenal. The bacon was perfectly crispy and delightfully crunchy and their over easy eggs were cooked to perfection with just the yolk being runny. The buckwheat pancakes might need more tweaking as I wasn't too delighted by the unsalted butter and the pancakes were a little bland but man the French toast made up for it in spades. I think the pancakes are a good kids item as kids usually don't like too much complexity. Their customer service is also phenomenal and the atmosphere is perfect for a family gathering. We weren't thinking about the time and arrived right before the kitchen closed but they were gracious enough to let us still put in orders and even got us a latte when by all accounts their kitchen and cafe were closed. If you want some of the best customer service in whitefish this is the place for you.

So I can't give it a low rating because I didn't like the food. I love this hotel it's exquisite. I have been wanting to try this restaurant, it was happy hour on the holiday weekend do why not. If you you want new style yuppy food this is for you. Had the ahi tuna tacos, missed the part that they weren't battered and fried. I don't do raw fish. Not sure what to say about the pot sticker but apparently frozen ones would be better. I'm sure there are other new things to try next time .

We have been waiting for this place to open...and it has and the decor is rustic elegant! We sat at beautiful concrete bar and ordered drinks. They have beer and wine but a great assortment! We had the Calamari and Wagyu Sliders were excellent! Lara the bartender was personable and knowledgable! We enjoyed the entire experience. The sliders were sooooo good! Laura the server was also very nice! Michael another server was very personable also. They have great staff! The Chocolate Creme Brûlée made by Emma was amazing!

Be careful giving Lexi your credit card. My husband and I have gone here a few times. This last time, Lexi refused to charge us the advertised price for happy hour drinks, told other customers she had worked there for a year, and then added a FRAUDULENT tip of $32.00 onto our bill without our knowledge. I have spoken to McKenzie, the day manager, and Ricky, the food and beverage manager, and they support these actions by continuing to employ Lexi. Be careful she doesn't commit fraud against you, too!

Service is exceptional (fast and engaging). The food is one to test your pallet at a good price. The atmosphere is relaxing and modern/rustic decor. Easy access with great parking. Would definitely visit again.

Stopped in with my husband for a special dinner, to cap our 20th anniversary camping trip to Glacier. Not huge fans of small plates, but this meal and experience were outstanding. From the atmosphere, to the amazing Patatas Fritas, to my husband's steak special (dinner portion), to my adapted all-veggie dish, to the Huckleberry Mud Pie, to our server Jonna (who was delightful and helpful - and blessed us with dessert on the house in honor of our anniversary), Firebrand was a treat we'd love to repeat.
