The Whistling Grizzly - Jackson

We had a wonderful experience here. Tilly was our waitress and she made everything perfect. The food is also awesome. The pork chop is tender and well seasoned. The beef (ribeye) has a generous portion. Elk tenderloin is tasty but the portion size is a little small compared to others. We celebrated one of our friend's birthday here and the staff prepared a surprise dessert for us which was really nice. Also I recommend the cocktails here. The price is very reasonable.

Food aside, ambiance is the one to be mentioned. Cozy, regal, golden tint. The breakfast was decent, had pancakes and sandwiches. But, the furniture, carpet and the lighting all stood out for me, unlike other restaurants it has a distinct vibe. Jackson was also amazing to drive by during the morning hours(9-10am), very happy to have drove and stopped by the restaurant in Jackson.

The food was amazing. The Cowboy Pops were really good, soft and tasty. The Trout was perfectly cooked and had good flavor. The Ribeye was also perfectly cooked but the winner was the Kabocha Squash. I understand there is a shortage of staff everywhere but service was not great. People who sat down after us got drinks before us. There was a piece of onion skin on the Trout dish. They didn't care. I wasn't looking for a free meal. I still gave 5 stars because overall it was great. But no more excuses for poor service. When I pay that much for a meal, I have expectations.

Loved the experience!the food was so good,I got the elk tenderlion with asparagus and a pana cotta dessert. Elk was so soft,medium rare perfectly made. Our Australian server was the best!very welcoming

TLDR: Best dinner in Jackson Wyoming. We stayed in Jackson for five days and were largely underwhelmed with the dinners we had. Several of the restaurants we ate at were highly recommended by travel guides and we found the flavor to be bland and the prices to be outrageous for the quality of the meals. On our last night we considered eating in but instead decided to try the Whistling Grizzly which we found on Google Maps. The reviews seemed promising so we decided to give it a shot. This meal was FANTASTIC. The service was phenomenal. The trout dip appetizer was phenomenal. The Elk Tenderloin was some of the best meat I've ever had. The carrot cake is amazing (I don't usually like carrot cake and I would go back just to eat this one). The fact that this was the easiest restaurant for us to make a reservation at this week is insane. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Jackson.
