Wild Caddis, is the fine dining restaurant at the Rainbow Ranch Lodge.

It’s known that a great meal is an experience that involves all of the senses. Wild Caddis is proud to offer world-class Montana ranch-to-table cuisine, originating from the finest and freshest products available. We use the highest quality, fresh, locally grown, and conscientiously raised products from regional producers, which help inspire us to create culinary and visual masterpieces.

Wild Caddis dining is rustic-modern, relaxed, but refined, with unsurpassed views of the majestic Gallatin River running by the lodge. House-made specialties such as duck prosciutto smoked bacon, and house-cured salamis are enhanced by our award-winning wine list and hand-crafted, barrel-aged cocktails in an environment as inviting as its Big Sky Country backdrop.

Steak was way over cooked. Service went missing half way through the meal and we had to go to bar to get drinks and refills. A new $60 steak was then cooked, way under cooked almost raw. At that time everyone else was done and tired. Just don’t get a steak. Other food was fine.

I ordered the steak and for $60 I thought it would be cooked to perfection and a great cut. Nope! Came out over cooked and tough as did my son’s.. we both ordered it med rare. They took both back and remade them. Came back cooked better but it was so fatty and gristle. I maybe got to eat 1/3 of it. My husband had to go to bar to get my drink and to refill his water. I think waiter was maybe busy with table we couldn’t see. Not sure. My husband and I shared the apple and winter squash soup which was good and a member of our party ordered the chicken and they loved it. Rest of food was okay at best.

Great meal - it was nice to try elk and bison and they created some unique flavors with these meats. We loved it. Our group also had a fish course and the chicken- which was probably the best thing on the menu. Yummy selection on desserts finished off our meal. I did also have their pumpkin and apple soup which really was nice and warmed me up.

I think this is more of a summer place for a drink. Menu was disappointing. Ambience was lacking. Our bartender and waiter were great though.

We got seated 10 minutes early, but then Did not even get served water for the next 30 minutes, the server that we had she seemed like she she was rushing through things, but other than that, the food was amazing and the rainbow ranch is beautiful
