“It's a bit overpriced, but not by much.
Got the Kentucky tango for my drink. Was pretty strong, and the flavor was on point.
Bone marrow for starters. 10/10 best I've ever had.
The New York strip was a letdown. The cut was small, although very tender. Very poorly seasoned. As in, not enough. However, I will say they do sell 4 different seasoning that go with the steak. I didn't get it because I wanted to let the chef shine. Was cooked perfectly rare+ but very lightly seasoned.
The service was excellent.
I gave them 4 stars on the atmosphere due to the small size of the restaurant, sun glare, and noise.

All told I spent $108.00 (including tip).
60% chance of return trip.“

“My friend was in town and we decided to try this place out! From the moment we walked through the door, we loved the ambiance and felt welcomed by staff. We went in at about 5:45pm and there were a handful of other patrons, but plenty of barstools available for seating. We were given menus immediately and were not rushed to order. I didn't catch our bartender's name, but they were very kind and had some super cool glasses! We each ordered a cocktail and then we ordered three small plates--croquettas (croquettes), ensalada tomate (marinated tomato/onion/olive salad), and the pan con tomate (toast with tomato). The croquettas were our favorite! My friend had the Little Birdy cocktail which was fruity and refreshing. I can't find the name of the one I ordered on their menu online but it had Sevilla orange gin, lemon and a few other ingredients. It was equally delicious and refreshing and I loved the presentation of the cocktails. Our subtotal was $35, which we felt was fair for the drinks and food we ordered. It was $10 per cocktail and a total of $15 for the three pintxos. I will definitely return to Bar Plata soon and would recommend it to Missoula residents and visitors!

Vegetarian options: Some of the small plates are vegetarian and I believe the sandwich (bocadillo) may be as well but I would always recommend confirming with your bartender!

Dietary restrictions: They have some gluten and dairy free options! I did not ask about their procedures for allergies or cross contamination so definitely check with staff before ordering!“

“Delicious, authentic mexican food. Beans and rice were great. We got burritos, pretty decent size, very affordable. A regular bean and cheese burrito is $7. The salsa is super good. They have specials on certain days of the week. We missed the Chile Verde on Wednesday but we'll definitely be back to try it. Please note, the restaurant itself is in the bar from a side entrance, so the location is interesting. Plenty of seats inside and outside on the patio, patio allows smoking, that's the only downside I would say.
Otherwise, definitely worth the stop. And the food came out FAST!“

“The Montana Club is our favorite restaurant to go for special occasions and dinner after ballet class/recitals. They’re kid friendly, have a great atmosphere in the bar (also allows kiddos for dinner in the bar area), and wonderful about making accommodations. The atrium is another fun spot to sit. The main dining room has plenty of booths and tables that can be joined for groups. Their menu offers a variety of options. Pasta’s, salads, steaks, and seafood all turn out amazing. Their lobster fest is fun. It’s definitely worth the wait and money to attend lobster fest and get fresh lobster. They have the best ranch in town, too.“

“We ate at Blue Canyon two nights in a row (which is against our own guidelines) because we enjoyed the food and experience. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. Based upon our preferences, the servers made recommendations that really hit the spot for both food and drinks. The food was amazing. We recommend the smokehouse flatbread. Thank you, Sawyer and Raymond, for the enjoyable experience.“
