Historic Dining Room

Chico’s Dining Room has long been credited with bringing fine dining to Montana and stands out as one of the region’s best restaurants.

The historic Dining Room specializes in modern American cuisine. Executive Chef Dave Wells is a James Beard Award semi-finalist for “Best Chef in the Northwest”. We offer fresh, exceptional food, with much of the produce coming from our own garden. We love working with Montana farms and ranches to provide the best ingredients. Our steaks are generous, our seafood is flown in fresh and all of our delectable desserts, such as the Flaming Orange, are all baked in house.

Boasting one of the region’s finest wine lists in Montana, consistently recognized with Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence. While our restaurant is popular with Montana’s Hollywood contingent, it’s also the locals’ choice— just a short drive from Bozeman, Livingston, or Gardiner.
