Great place for dinner and drinks when we are in town!

Tarren was a great server who expertly guided us through all the delicious options available at Tanglewood.

Four of us came in on a Wednesday night with reservations, and wow—what a delicious evening! It’s a smaller restaurant, and with a party of six and a few other tables, it felt cozy and comfortably full. We’d had a late lunch, and two of us weren’t especially hungry, so we ordered the trout, bison steak, huckleberry salad, and bison tartare, plus a bread basket to share. Let’s start with that bread and garlic-herb compound butter. I could have eaten the butter straight from the dish! Paired with the charred, toasted bread, it disappeared embarrassingly fast considering we’d just told our sweet server, Matthew, that we “weren’t that hungry.” I had the bison tartare, and don’t let the idea of raw meat scare you away. The flavor was clean, slightly sweet, and beautifully seasoned, with a silky, velvety texture that reminded me of high-end sashimi. Chef’s kiss! I would absolutely order it again. My only suggestion would be a thinner slice of bread underneath, but that’s purely personal preference. My husband’s trout? Holy moly! The skin was deliciously crisp, and the fish underneath was tender, flaky, and wonderfully fresh tasting. And those whipped white sweet potatoes were heavenly! I don’t know what kind of magic is happening in that kitchen, but it’s working, my friends. My son’s bison steak was equally impressive: a beautiful sear on the outside and juicy, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness inside. Matthew helped us nail our order. He was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and genuinely personable—the kind of server who makes a great meal even better. 10/10 all the way around. Highly recommend!
