- Review Summary
- Meadow Lake Bar and Grille serves American fare built around local and regional ingredients. The Swiss mushroom burger is consistently very good, the salmon is a solid option, and the mahi tacos could use a touch more flavor. Vegetarian choices exist in salads and pasta. The bar operates as a full-service setup with locally inspired drinks such as the Rocky Mountain Caesar, Lakeside Breeze, Montana Mocha Martini, and Lemon Meringue. The vibe is casual and family-friendly, with indoor seating and a double patio that overlooks the golf course.
