Remember when we gave Monty’s A Taste Of The West a test-drive a few weeks ago? I was put off by the unannounced flavor on my ribeye steak, and had to send it back in exchange for a new un-flavored steak. Well, now we know why, courtesy of the Trib’s restaurant reviewer: John has developed a steak rub, used first at his own backyard barbecues and brought to the restaurant at the urging of friends. He is so sure that you will like it, he serves the rub on all the steaks, no steak sauce needed. Top sirloin, New...

We finally made it to the new restaurant – Boston’s The Gourmet Pizza – last night. We went at 9:00 pm, figuring that the wait wouldn’t be too bad, and we were indeed seated immediately.

Food, service, atmosphere – tell us what you thought. It’s located on 7th Street just behind Mountain West Bank (south side of 10th Ave South).

If you enjoy dining out, it doesn’t get much better than this…Great Falls is experiencing a mini-boom of new restaurants – let’s take a look: Next to Wal-Green’s on 10th Avenue South at 23rd Street is a pair of “fast” food places. The Pita Pit opened a couple of months ago, and it’s great for a late-night pita; plenty of choices, including veggie pitas. Next door to the Pita Pit is the Noodle Express, which is doing boffo business since opening a couple of weeks ago. Noodles, rice bowls, choices of meat (beef, pork, shrimp, chicken), served in simple...
