Boxcar Bistro

Dez King★★★★★

Beautiful interior and ambiance with low lighting, pleasant music, attentive service, and an elevated menu with plenty of variety in upscale cuisine options. The blackened prawns were buttery tender… cooked to perfection and paired with a lovely bright citrus-vinegar balancing out the savory flavors very nicely. The best way I can describe the flavor profile is “happy.” Beet and burrata salad was exquisite, again perfect flavor complements and balance. I would say beautiful plating and presentation across the board. A wonderful (light) dinner with ideal portions that leave you feeling perfe

I want to like this place but it's tough. The sea bass was blah and undercooked. The lamb was chewy. The vibe and decor is great and lends itself to a speakeasy vibe but they don't serve liquor so while it's feels speakeasy, don't plan on getting that dirty martini you were craving. Service was fine.

Food is good, but don't come hungry - small portions, at expensive prices. It was a full task to get the squash out of the shell, which was roasted plain, no spices, not even salt. The quail & duck were served such that we had to eat with our hands. Lots of fat on the quail. Felt mildly rushed & pestered to leave despite it not being busy. I enjoyed the ambiance, but it was hard to hear the conversation at times.

We've tried a few of the higher end restaurants in Missoula, and while they generally lack creativity or diversity of menu choices, Boxcar generally is one of the more creative and has good quality. The pork belly appetizer was really excellent, and the scallops burger and duck confit were very good. It also accommodates gluten free quite well.
