THE RESTAURANT · OUR HISTORY

One Hundred and Forty Years at Montana's Finest Address

The sixth floor of The Original Montana Club has served as the architectural and social crown of this building since its 1905 reopening — designed by Cass Gilbert, the same architect who gave America the Minnesota State Capitol, the Woolworth Building, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

For over 140 years, attorneys, Copper Kings, governors, presidents, and literary giants have dined in this room. It has always offered what its guests came for — exceptional food, panoramic views, and a sense of elevation both literal and figurative.

THE ROOM

A Room With No Equal in Montana

Designed by Cass Gilbert and reopened in 1905, the 6th floor of The Montana Club is one of the most architecturally significant dining rooms in the American West — framed by 25 leaded stained-glass windows, anchored by a Jacobean-Tudor fireplace, and overlooking Helena from a loggia with views toward Mount Helena.

25 Stained-Glass Windows

Largest non-ecclesiastical stained-glass collection in Montana. Created by Mitchel & Halbach of Chicago. "The Progress of Civilisation in Montana."

Jacobean-Tudor Fireplace

Original architectural feature. Beaux-Arts/Renaissance Revival design. The focal point of the Banquet Hall.

The Oval Room

Classical Revival style. Original crown molding. Historically hosted intimate dinners and private gatherings.

View from the Loggia

Overlooking downtown Helena, the South Hills, and Mount Helena. The most distinctive view from any restaurant in the state.

THE STEAKS
