River and Range Bistro is a small, chef-driven spot in Great Falls built around a simple idea—good food, done right, with ingredients we actually care about. Growing up in Montana, hunting, fishing, and foraging weren’t hobbies, they were just part of life. That connection to the land is at the heart of everything we do here.Our menu changes with the seasons and features handmade pastas, fresh seafood, and high-quality, locally sourced beef. You might find house-made gnocchi one night, a perfectly cooked steak the next, or a special built around wild morel mushrooms when they’re in season. Everything is made from scratch, with attention to detail but without the fuss.The space is intimate, the seating is limited, and the goal is simple—create a place where people can slow down, share a great meal, and feel at home.Open Friday and Saturday evenings. Reservations are recommended.

    It was better than I expected. The ribeye was one of the best steaks I've had in a while. Like close your eyes and take it in while eating it. I'm pretty picky when it comes to steak and this was cooked perfectly, not too raw and not too cooked. Very juicy and tender. This was my second visit, and I can say it was great both times.

    This is such a cute cross between fine dining and local watering hole. If the evening had been a bit warmer, we’d have loved to sit on the patio. The drinks were good and the filet was fantastic. The Basque cheesecake was the perfect finish to dinner.
