Missoula Restaurant Guide

I ate at the Catalyst after it switched ownership. I have to say that this is now one of my favorite places to eat downtown. The food is to die for. The ingrediants were fresh and the staff was helpful and friendly. One of the reasons I never ate there before was because they didnt take debit or credit cards. They now take both which makes it easier to indulge in the wonderful food they have to offer.

I've been three times now, always hoping it will be better because I had heard good things. Service is beyond terrible. Two out of three times I had to wait 30 minutes to even place an order. Food definitely isn't worth it. Soup is mediocre at best. Sandwiches boring. Don't get me started on the salads. Wilted lettuce swimming in a pool of dressing. Save your time and money. There are tons of better place to eat in Missoula.

Unless you have at least 2 hours to waste while waiting for your food.. don't go here! I've been twice figuring that the first bad experience was unusual and gave it a second chance but once again left completely unsatisfied. The food was very average and service was rushed. There were at least three other customers that day who we watched leave angry, one who even came back to leave a tip and then was told that he upset the waiter and that they didn't need his tip.. Bad business. Save yourself and don't even bother with the wait..

This was a unique restaurant in the downtown area. It is very modern inside and has a wonderful loft area that you can dine at, and look over into the restaurant. Great selections on the menu and the food was wonderful. There is no parking available, except on the street, which I found to be the only drawback. Would recommend you check this restaurant out!
