    What an outstanding meal we experienced tonight at Wild Caddis! The staff is focused on customer service and customer experience. The cocktails were perfectly prepared as well as exceptional in the taste of each one. Extensive wine list by the glass, half bottle, or 750ml (Wine Spectator Award Winning list). I don’t even know how to explain the exquisite food we enjoyed! Bison Bourguignon as a shared plate with crispy garlic and herb sourdough bread was a perfect blend of flavors. Salad… goodness Haricot Verts with Goat Cheese and Butternut Squash a crunch of delicious beans with tart goat cheese and sweet butternut, not only flavorful but beautifully served! Spinach Salad with Fig and Pancetta was hit the rest of our group. Bread… did I mention the sliced Sourdough and whipped butter?? Yummy! Entrees were varied around the table- Huckleberry Chicken - moist chicken with Huckleberry Sauce and Huckleberries; flash fried Kale.. light, a bit of crisp with salt that melted on the tongue; Scallops and Tenderloin Medallions, both exceptional in preparation and taste; Beef Tenderloin in Garlic Pan Sauce left you wanting more! Our desserts were definitely the highlight of the meal with two on menu items to share and an unexpected treat of three unique ice cream flavors… Black Sesame, Brie and Pecan; Balsamic, and Fruit Sorbet! Executive Chef, Nick has carefully crafted an outstanding menu. His talent shows in bite that his team executes perfectly. Definitely a dining experience to enjoy over and over! Well Done Chef!!

    Very cozy and warm feel to this rustic retreat by the Gallatin River. Our reservation was late and we were only people in restaurant based on it being off season. Regardless our host and waitress made us feel welcome and the feel was like they were cooking only for us. Great service and food was very good! Can't wait to visit next year!

    The food needs serious work! My fish was so salty and I returned it .. they washed it off and cooked the same piece of fish with my bite taken out of it... it came back even more oily as they attempted to resear it. The wine list is great!!! Also affordable priced and service was good too but I won't return due to the inedible food
    Wild CaddisResponded on October 15, 2024
    Roger, as always we greatly appreciate our guests feedback as we constantly strive to be our best! We do hand season during the cooking process and your fish could have mistakenly had a heavy-handed sprinkling, our apologies, in that type of scenario we would start with a fresh piece of fish, and if it still was not to your liking our apologies. We are glad you did enjoy the wine and service. Warmly, Ranch Ambassador
