Our experience here was very good other than a couple of significant service misses. Our server, Stella was fabulous when taking our orders. Friendly and knowledgeable.
The lamb was tender and delicious. The savory bread pudding goes very well with it. Chicken Cordon Bleu was tasty with tender chicken. It could have used more sauce. The couscous side was yummy.
We appreciated the compostable to-go containers.
While the chocolate soufflé was delicious, the Nanaimo thunder cake was a big disappointment. The crust and middle layers were dry and frozen solid. They were inedible. We had to separate the frozen parts from the cream layers to eat part of the cake. Stella was dropping off the check and asked about the desserts. we let her know that the soufflé was delicious, but showed her that we were not able to eat the layers of the cake because they were frozen solid. Her response was that she would let the kitchen know so that it didn’t happen again. We didn’t say anything, but seriously? We spent $14 on a dessert and can eat less than half of it? In addition, the pour of the dessert wines was pretty short for the price.
Finally, we mentioned that our dinner was to celebrate birthdays, and there was no acknowledgment at all of this during our meal.
So it seems there are some areas that need attention.

We went here for our 30th anniversary. We wanted someplace special and were delightfully happy about our choice. Our wait person was so nice and friendly. She took the time to explain the menu selection and answered all my wine questions. Upon leaving, we were presented with a beautiful little box of chocolates and a lovely card wishing us happy anniversary. We are sorry we didn’t remember our waitress’s name but you were the best! Thank you

Came here for Valentine’s Day at the recommendation of my brother and sister in law! Atmosphere is so great! We loved the vibes and it wasn’t a typical dark French restaurant but a fun unique one! We loved the kind hostess and our reservation was actually a little early! I ordered the French onion soup which was divine! Our main meals were the steak frites and the duck bucatini! They were both excellent! Dessert was the star! The red velvet cake was outstanding! A meal for two and dessert was less than 100! Less than I was expecting for the quality ! We can’t wait to come back for our next dinner!

First time here and we absolutely loved it! The atmosphere and interior is gorgeous. Great menu selections and mocktails as well. We ordered the mussels, duck, lamb, snickers cake, and souffle. Everything was delicious, fresh, and the perfect portion sizes. Our waitress was kind, friendly, and attentive. We will definitely be back to try more dishes!

I wish I lived in Missoula.
My dinner at Porte Rogue has been cemented in the top 5 greatest meals ive ever had.
Food: i started with the chef special of the day, scallop crudo. The dish was expertly balanced, with the right contrast of acidity, heat, and savory. It was so incredibly fun to eat! I spent awhile trying to piece together what exactly I was tasting. And then for the main course, I had the vegan “crab cakes” atop risotto, and once again the flavors were sublime. Easily the best part of this heartening winter dish were the syrupy candied cherries snuck in with juuuust the right frequency to make a cherry bite something special.
Atmosphere: perfect, though i might be biased since my back was to a warm fireplace and a christmas tree with preserved citrus ornaments sat to my right. Everything from the menu featuring game birds and venison to the log cabin feel screamed “Montana” in all the best ways.
Service was exceptional: my coat was taken upon getting to my seat, and Josi seamlessly worked the bar and attended to my meal with the perfect level of attentiveness and expertise.

We were lucky to be able to eat here on a Saturday night without a reservation. Lured in by the fact that they seem to be one of the few restaurants in the area selling something other than fish tacos and burgers, Ports Rouge was wonderful.
One of the highlights of our meal were the oysters. Deliciously paired with some excellent (and reasonably priced) wine.
Friendly service.
Highly recommended.

Missoula’s goto fancy food. I had a striking lamb dish with nice sauce and bread pudding side. Best part was the roasted carrots, but unfortunately, being fancy, there were only two. We also had steak and fries (steak nice, fries too salty) and a vegan, mushroom “crab” cake (too crab tasting). Very nice chocolate souffle for dessert. In short, some good, some great, but all $40ish each and all sides, salads, separate.

I had the pleasure of dining at the Brasserie last night with a date, and was pleasantly surprised by the updated restaurant. The old Pearl Cafe was my favorite restaurant in Missoula, and I was hesitant to go to the new establishment because I thought I would be disappointed. I was very wrong and wish I would have come sooner!
My server Christina (or Kristina) was extremely accommodating, and helped with recommendations and stellar service through the entire experience. Additionally she pointed out they still used Pearl’s bread recipe, which was touching to me. I had the Black Currant Shrub, Rack of Lamb, New Zealand Salmon special, and two desserts, the Vanilla Thunder and Tarte Au Carrote.
I thought the cheeseboard to be standard, and would have like a little bit better of a selection of meat and cheeses, but the pickles and mini pimentos were both a nice touch, as well as the house made bread, which has a delicious crust and makes amazing little sandwiches. I’d give it about a 7.8 out of 10 in its category.
Next I will speak to the absolutely delicious rack of lamb I had. Both of the entrees were amazing! The rack was cooked perfectly, and the accompanying pomegranate/pistachio gremolata was a delicious accompaniment I never would have thought of at home. There was even a miniature cannoli with very tasty ricotta in it underneath. I just wish there was more meat, but that is personal preference. As far as flavor and sides, this was fantastic. 9.3/10
The highlight of the entrees was the salmon my date had though! It was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and made in a bag and served piping hot with zucchini and squash inside the bag and a relish that was absolutely delicious and gave crisp notes to the dish. It was tender without being undercooked and buttery soft. Coming from Seattle I rarely ever find salmon that is at the same level as where I grew up, and I’ve been in Montana 20 years. This was some of the best salmon I ever had. 10/10. Perfect.
Last I will review the two desserts. The Vanilla Thunder again was as good as it gets, a layered cake with a delicious buttery texture in the frosting layer and a crunchy almond rocha flavored layer towards the bottom. An absolutely delicious cake that I throughly enjoyed. 9.6/10. The Tarte au Carrote was a different blend of almost pecan pie and carrot cake in a very dense and solid tarte crust. At first I couldn’t cut into it, but that was because the deliciously put together cookie crust. At first I was put off by cutting through the crust, but I’d still give this dessert a solid 8.4/10.
Thank you very much for the thoroughly enjoyable meal, ambience, and fantastic service! I would highly recommend taking a meal here.

Adorable spot, beautiful space, decor is maybe a bit more loud and modern than the food, but it’s a very attractive place to spend an evening.
Food was mostly a solid B+ with a couple of exceptions. (The duck was phenomenal and the pommes frites were perfect; the lamb was a little flat.) Not wildly expensive, so definitely worth the price. And the menu changes seasonally, so it’s absolutely worthy of repeat visits even if what you order doesn’t perfectly hit the mark.
Excellent service as well. Staff were attentive without being overbearing, helpful without being pushy, friendly without being insincere.
If we didn’t live out of town, we’d be back pretty often.

Wonderful anniversary experience last night, and amazingly my wife’s first time st a French restaurant. Everything from the baked oysters to the steak frites and cordon bleu skewer was delicious. Great atmosphere in the loft and our server was attentive, fun and knowledgeable.
