Huckleberry Cheesecake swirls tart berries through graham crust; Cookie Monster packs Oreo crunch into cotton candy ice.

Josephine's Bar & Kitchen fuses Montana warmth with a European polish. The Lamb Chops deliver a crisp-char crust and a juicy center, while Meatballs stay compact and juicy. Mussels & Clams float in a briny, bright broth that begs for extra bread. The Huckleberry Sour and Bearproof Cocktail anchor the drinks, echoing Glacier's local harvest.
Skip the Salmon; get Lamb Chops. For cocktails, order the Bearproof Sour.

If Montana is ever getting added to the Michelin guide, I bet this place will get recognized! The food is βtapasβ style and the cuisine is diverse and modern. a lovely setting and super cozy. Gorgeous!We didnβt have a reservation but got a table around 9PM after a long day of hiking. Everything we got was delicious!! The portion sizes were decent and were well priced for the quality and attention that had gone into the food.Our favorite was the yakitori style chicken thighs. Canβt wait to come back and try more!

Sophisticated flavors in a rustic yet elegant atmosphere. Josephine's feels like both an authentic Montana experience and a classy European treat. The food is fresh, the flavors are expertly executed, and the staff could not be more professional, warm, and welcoming. We sampled many dishes, and it is clear that each one is crafted with much thought, expertise, and passion. Accompanying many of the dishes is some of the best pita I have ever tasted. This place deserves a Michelin star (or two), and is well worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing teamwork by the ladies working on 9/25. Food was delicious but not enough π I needed about three more lamb chops. The huckleberry sour drink I ordered was amazing! Just a good, enjoyable meal with great service. Vibes were somewhat ruined by a group of loud cackling women, but I was finished eating so it is what it is lol.

Vegetarian options exist (e.g., mushroom risotto); gluten-free/vegan specifics are not detailed.
Some diners report small portions and occasional overcooking for the salmon; lamb chops or mussels are safer bets.
Yes, a full bar with craft cocktails, including the Huckleberry Sour and Bearproof Cocktail.
