Swiss Lounge - Babb

Located right next to Swiftcurrent Lake with beautiful views from the restaurant. My family and I decided to stop by for dinner after a long day of hiking the Grinnell Glacier trail. For a restaurant in the national park, the quality and taste of the food was overall pretty solid and we were given decent-sized portions! They also gave us a complementary basket of dinner rolls and delicious butter to go with it. We then ordered the following: Rainbow trout (4/5): The flavors on the trout were decent, even though the fish was slightly over cooked. The pilaf and side of cauliflower were yummy and buttery! Bison Braised Short Rib (4.5/5): The ribs were cooked perfectly, super tender and flavorful. Cavatappi with Mushroom (3/5): This was our least favorite dish that we ordered. Okay pasta with very few mushrooms in the dish.

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere, being one of the only places to get a real, sit-down meal up in Many Glacier, and we enjoyed that aspect...but the food was just ok. Unfortunately, the food that came to the table didn 't exactly meet the description that was on the menu. My husband and I both received sandwiches that were served on poor quality white buns, when the menu said they would be served on 'multi-grain. ' Additionally, my lentil burger arrived with fries when it said it would come with an organic salad. The server did rectify the salad issue quickly (not his fault) and he was very attentive to our table. Bottom line, this isn 't the place to go for exquisite cuisine, but if you 're looking for a 'good-enough ' meal while in Many Glacier, this restaurant is fine.

The Swiss Lounge is the more casual dining area at the Many Glacier Hotel. The food was good. The staff was good. It was nothing special, but more than adequate.

First, it's a little confusing where this restaurant actually is. It's located in the Many Glacier hotel, on the north end of the building. It's adjacent to the Ptarmigan Dining Room. There's usually a line for the Ptarmigan Dining Room which snakes past the entry to the Swiss Lounge. Bypass the line and go directly into the Swiss Lounge for space available seating. Menu is a slimmed down version of what you can find in Ptarmigan Dining Room. Bison Chili Burger was decent bison patty wasn't dry, which is unusual for bison. Chili was just okay. Didn't really detect any hint of jalapenos. But overall, a real average burger. Grilled Chicken Club was pretty average as well. Nothing to note, either good or bad. Sausage sampler was a little sad: slices of uninteresting meat, plus random pickles and bread. Price was a little high for what you get, but it's expected with the limited options in the area. Service was slow. Took about 30 minutes after ordering to get our food. App was served with the main course, which was a little weird.

Horrible!! Worse food ever. I got the chicken sandwich and it looked like a piece of rubber...AND it only covered half the bun it was such a small piece of meat. Service horrible. Way overpriced!!! Loud!! I would of complained to a manager but after waiting for close to an hour for food and a dogfight/brawl in the hallway I just wanted to get the heck out of there. We ate at several restaurants in the park and had all positive expedites...but stay away from this place!!
