We went to Montana's last night for dinner. I am not particularily fond of restaraunts like this but some people are. This restaraunt tries to have the decor of a rough mountain cabin, but they also have the brown paper table cloth that many other "hip" restaraunts, like Jack Asstors have. You can colour on it if you like, which is good for kids. This restaraunt is also one where the servers will come out and put giant hats with horns or antlers on your head and loudly sing a "unique" version of a happy birthday song.
The food was good though. I ordered the 8 oz. bacon wrapped steak, with the sides of garlic mashed potatoes, and mixed vegtables plus the "dusted onions". Normaly it comes with baked beans (but they were out) as well as "dusted onions", which are the same thing as a piece of onion loaf or onion rings, and one choice of a side. I was pleasantly surprised by the steak. It was quite delicious. The bacon added just a hint of flavour to the steaks own flavour. The garlic mashed potatoes were quite delicious as well, they came with gravy even though i did not ask for it, buti would have. I only mention that for those of you who would not like gravy so that you know to mention you don't. The vegtables were typical.
My wife ordered a different steak meal that I don't recall the name of. She too was pleased with the meal. She also ordered the Montana Smashers, which are three scoops of mashed potatoes with cheese melted on them ans chives (i think) sprinkled on the top. There may have been more seasonings as well, I didn't try it. She liked it very much though. We also ordered a skillet of fried mushrroms, which were good but the skillet was so hot, that when they brought it out to us it was still cooking the mushrooms. Some of them had burnt sides from sitting in the skillet. The "toast" that it comes with is more like a lightly baked piece of focatia bread with butter, garlic salt, and parmeson cheese on it. It was good.
Overall the food is quite good, but i am not a fan of the atmosphere.

I agree that I don't much care for the atmosphere -- and our experience with the food the two times we tried was much less encouraging. But perhaps they have fixed earlier birthing pains and have improved their standard. Might be worth another try. (Lord knows we're buring out eating at the same five places all the time.)
