The Ptarmigan Dining Room - Babb

This place was so amazing we ate here twice in two days. The wait staff are amazing, especially Jessie who made our elopement dinner extra special by snagging us a table by the window with a beautiful view and recommending the perfect bottle of bubbly to get in lieu of champagne. The fried portabella mushrooms were delicious; lightly battered and flash fried so they weren't too heavy or oily. The lemon parsley aioli they came with provided a nice balance of acid and creaminess. The crab cakes were some of the best we've ever had. They had the best possible ratio of crab to breading and veggies (red and green peppers and red onions). These were also perfectly fried with no excessive oil with so much flavor and not at all fishy. For our main both meals, we got the lentil burger. It was fabulous! The lentils and whatever else went into had such an awesome taste and texture. It was topped with yummy caramelized onions and a balsamic glaze. We truly loved dining here!

We had to wait about 45 minutes to be seated for dinner. Many people from the boat ride and hikers came here too. We ordered the trout and wild rice, cavatappi with wild mushrooms and the ribs. They also served us complimentary bread. Food and service was good. We had a beautiful view from our table. It was the nicest place we dined at while at Glacier National Park and I recommend coming here.

Great restaurant to come to while in the Many Glaciers area of Glacier National Park. Casual dress is okay here. My party ordered minestrone soup, the bison short ribs, duck breast, and carrot cake with a scoop of ice cream. The bison ribs and duck breast came with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. The vegetables were flavorful and delicious. I preferred the duck breast to the ribs (this was my first time trying bison meat, unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan). The carrot cake with whipped cream and ice cream tasted amazing. More good: our waitresses were friendly, and the views from the restaurant windows were incredible- full mountain and lake views. I was wowed!

We had a nice family dinner here on our recent trip. We always try to do one meal at a lodge restaurant, and we chose The Ptarmigan Dining Room for our Glacier trip. It was fun service was good and friendly. My wife and I shared the trout, which was good. The standout was the dessert, which was relatively inexpensive (decaf coffee, berry ice cream). Solid!

Best dining option in the Glacier NP unless you packed in your own camp fire steak. The view, ambiance, and service are all 5*. The menu options are pretty good. I ordered the prime ribs my husband had the Waygu steak and salad first. All are very tasty. They have a reasonable wine list too. I have couple tasting before landing on one to pair with my steak. They did a good job considering this place is only opened ~4 months a year!
