RANCH DINING

Meet our Seasonal Winter Restaurant, Quarter Circle

While the guest ranch is closed for the season, we’re delighted to share that the Main Lodge is home to Quarter Circle, a seasonal restaurant that is open from December-March, with dinner service offered Wednesday-Saturday. Leading our culinary experience at Quarter Circle is Chef Rob. His thoughtfully created menu features Spanish-style tapas, delicious salads and savory entrees, as well as Spanish cocktails and wines.

We invite you to come join us for dinner this winter; walk-ins are welcome, while reservations are encouraged.

Fine Dining, with a Western Flare

Meals at our Montana ranch are a mix of satisfying home cooking, hearty staples, international influences, local ingredients and touches of the West. All meals are made from scratch by Chef Rob, while Pastry Chef Amelia brings her special touch to our desserts, pastries and treats. Menus highlight fine cuts of Montana-raised local meat, fresh produce and decadent desserts. From bison tenderloin to homemade huckleberry pancakes, baked beans and our famous undone brownies, our culinary team make sure you leave with satisfied taste buds and a true taste of Montana.
