Hats off to the Chef, and staff. Has a great atmosphere for fine dining. With the open kitchen you get to see so many delectable meals coming out. The wine selection was diverse and very good. I had the Surf and Turf (the special for the night) my wife had the beef bourguignon. We will be back again!!

By far the best place I’ve even been to. Melts in your mouth, cozy atmosphere, Lauren is an amazing hostess. The chef and his team did an amazing with all the food. The desserts literally brought me to tears.

Our first visit was in 2011 and we remember having a great experience so when we found ourselves back in Livingston this past weekend, we knew we had to visit. Once again, it was an amazing meal. We shared the pate and a Caesar salad to start, both of which were fresh and delicious. My husband then enjoyed the steak, cooked to a perfect medium rare, accompanied by the most delicious (and indulgent) mashed potatoes. I ordered the lamb bolognese and the pasta was cooked perfectly and sauce was rich, meaty, and seasoned perfectly. I had ordered a similar pasta dish at a newer Italian restaurant in town the night before, but yours was my favorite by far. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Livingston.

Lovely place for a nice meal. I had the lobster which was excellent. We got mussels and escargot for appetizers. Would definitely go back!

Great local restaurant. Really good food. The menu changes frequently. The staff is great. The decor is interesting. Worth the price!

Overall a very disappointing experience. When we arrived without reservations the host said oh well let me help the people behind you then, why don’t you go sit at the bar? He seemed very dismissive of us. The food was very overpriced and our first course was cooked ice cold fish which my husband and I did not care for. The rest of the food was okay but nothing special. We would not go here again and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Oh my, where do I begin? So much to love about 2nd Street Bistro. In years past we frequented this place but Covid changed a lot of things and our dining out stopped for months. Now we are rediscovering places we loved previously and I am happy to say that 2nd Street Bistro did not disappoint! We easily made reservations online and when we arrived we were greeted by the owner, Brian, and shown to our lovely window table. The low key and romantic decor of the dining area was different than the last time we ate here but very warm and inviting. Our server for the evening was Lauren and she was ultra knowledgeable about the wines and food and was so welcoming to us. The star of the evening’s meal was the encrusted halibut entree. AMAZING. We will be back very soon.

A French inspired American Bistro with high quality food and plated perfectly. Pictured below are the short ribs over a potato croquet, scallops over saffron Risotto and the crab cake salad. This place is always consistent and never disappoints. The chocolate mousse is to die for! Happy eating.

What a wonderful surprise in downtown Livingston, MT! A true gem. This chef is creative and used the finest ingredients to produce a meal to be remembered. I’ll be back!
