My experience at blackbird was amazing! The ambience of the place was great, the service was spectacular, and every dish was delicious!We had the beans, burrata, and bread to start - the beans were the star here. I had the kale salad & rotollo, both were so perfect! Finished with the gelato and wow, it was sublime. My friends said the tiramisu was also delicious! The wine was very nice. Our waitress was kind and just had a great overall vibe. I would definitely recommend this place!

So my friend and I went here with our beautiful wives to surprise them of this hard to get in place. ( 1 month in advance)Blackbird presents itself as a culinary destination with an emphasis on elevated dining experiences, but our visit left much to be desired. While the service was undeniably attentive, it couldn't salvage the disappointment of lackluster dishes that failed to live up to their lofty price tags.Portions were laughably small, leaving us feeling more hungry than satisfied, and the flavors were unremarkable at best. Each dish seemed to lack the creativity and finesse one would expect from a restaurant of Blackbird's reputation.Despite our hopes for a memorable dining experience, the reality fell short. It's disheartening when a restaurant relies on its ambiance and reputation to justify overpricing mediocre food. In a city teeming with culinary delights, Blackbird failed to distinguish itself in anything other than its ability to disappoint.

One of the places I was most excited to try!… turned to much disappointment. I booked this place a month in advance because I was very excited to try this restaurant. To start off we ordered wine but many of the wines they list such as Cabernet or Pinot are actually red blends, giving a different flavor profile to the body wine. Afterwords, our food came out cold and not as described in the menu. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating to the problems we encountered. The atmosphere is very welcoming and cozy, but I wish our tastebuds felt the same.I really do wish we had a better experience at this restaurant.

Incredible food and a Bozeman staple. The dining experience is smooth, elegant and professional. The menu has a little bit of everything. You could easily feed yourself just on appetizers and salads but it's worth exploring the entrées! We had their fresh bread which is magical. I don't know what they do to their bread but it is heavenly. We had the bread with the white bean appetizer and then the warm cabbage salad. The cabbage salad was absolutely delicious but too big of a portion between the two of us to finish before our entree. It was quite rich! It was a great left over side dish, though! The pasta I had was divine. It was rotolo spinach and the pasta was perfectly cooked and the filling was just this incredible mixture of flavors and textures. You must eat here!Vegetarian options: The apps are pretty vegetarian friendly. One or two salads have meat but I'm sure they could omit. There was only one veggie option for pasta and I didn't pay close attention to the pizza.

Food was decent but not considering the prices. The atmosphere was nice for conversations and they didn’t have loud music playing. Service was good. Staff was attentive and helpful. Although they automatically included gratuity in the tab. I consider myself a very fair tipper but I hate when establishments do this. It’s simple, pay your staff a fair wage and include it in the price upfront. Otherwise it’s deception.

The pizza is fine if you're into that; I'll pass generally. We had some sort of seared vegetable that was good. But my god the service, yeesh. Took 15 - 20 minutes to get a drink and the lady acted like we were annoying her. Look I lived in Denver for the better part of a decade, so I get you're trying to appeal to "city folk" with your cavalier approach to service, but here in the real world, we prefer to not be sneered at. I'll continue to take the in-laws to Feast where we feel wanted and they understand that when charging these sort of prices, people want SERVICE. If they want pizza, Cosmic does the trick just fine and I'll serve my own bottle of Montepulciano for 1/4 the price. If they miss the "ambiance" that Blackbird offers, then I'll throw on PBS Newshour while we eat and I'll put on my headphones.

It’s not a place I would go too, they are not kind to non locals. It’s a locals only place or expect horrible service. They will let you know you are not welcome!

The ambiance and people were great. I had the mostarda pizza and some beautiful bubbly. The flavors of the oven-fired pizza were exquisitely, mixed…thin, crispy authentic crust, cheese, jam, and fresh arugula… Baked in a warm oven on a cold night. Downtown Bozeman is fortunate to have you!!

We visit Bozeman 2-3 time per year and try to dine at Blackbird. Not sure what happened this time but I am compelled to change my rating from five stars to three. We waited over 20 minutes to get our wine and over 90 minutes to have our dinner. Please pick up the pace here it's such a waste I have to think twice if I come back.Dine in: Yes

Tortelli were served in a chipped bowl. While tasty they were still swimming in cooking water which diluted the flavor. For $26 I would have expected at least a couple more tortelli. The pasta in my husband’s bucatini was way undercooked…there’s al dente and then there’s AL DENTE.Service was meh. Our server was nice but never came back to fill water or check on meal. The person who seated our group bordered on rude.It was pricey and not fantastic food that one would expect for the price. I’m sad to say it really wasn’t worth it. And it was really loud to the point that we had trouble hearing each other. We’ve come here over the years and have enjoyed our experience in the past.

Amazing food. Went there over the summer and had a fantastic meal. Ordered a lamb ragu pasta that was mid but the Pizza and bison steak was top notch excellent. Service was good.My only critique is that the lighting on one side of the restaurant is very dim at night. So dim that I had to use the light from the street light through the window to see the menu. Luckily another table opned up that we were able to move to before our food came out.
