The atmosphere is great and the booth that we sat at was really comfortable. Our server was attentive, there didn't seem to have a real familiarity with the portions of menu items. The mixed drink menu was imaginative and a second round was ordered. I would not order my meal again, opting for one of their more exotic offerings.

I was visiting family in Whitefish and got a suggestion to check this place out. Fantastic! Super attentive staff and great food! Had the mushroom pizza with a egg and it hit the spot. Cool DJ downstairs was playing nice remixes and everyone enjoying a Friday night in Whitefish. So much fun very nice spot. top notch service! Thanks! I WILL BE BACK!

Latitude 48 is an absolute gem! The food was absolutely delicious , every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was just as impressive; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot for a memorable meal, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!
