Christian made our dinner experience extremely pleasant. The food was very good, but our service was exceptional. I would eat here again.
My husband and I ate at the Branch Restaurant in West Yellowstone and although the dinner wasn’t the best I have had, Christian our waiter made the dining experience a great one. I ordered the bison and elk chili and it came to the table cold. When I brought it to his attention, he brought me a nice hot cup of chili and didn’t even charge me for it. Thanks Christian for really enhancing my dining experience. Top notch customer service.
Christian was super-attentive to our needs and there when we needed him. The meat was cooked to perfection and service was quick despite almost a full house. It wasn’t too loud. Good experience!
