The Broad Axe is as ideal a location for wildlife viewing as it is for fine dining, western-style. A table with several pairs of binoculars greets diners as they walk in the door in case a herd of mountain sheep or a lonely moose wanders across the glen over which the dining room looks.
The food is cooked and served by a husband and wife team who own the establishment. The breads, desserts, and salad dressings (don't miss the sumptuous blue cheese dressing!) are homemade and accompany prime cuts of steak, fresh fish, and chicken dishes. Be sure to order sauteed mushrooms with your steak -- they are succulent and well-seasoned.
The food and setting certainly do vie for the diner's attention -- a win-win proposition for any visitor in search of a quintessential Montana experience.
