My friend and I were about half way through our two week road trip, and landed in Great Falls, Montana. We we were in this city for just one night, and both my friend and wanted to enjoy an upscale dining experience in Great Falls. We found that 5th & Wine was the city’s finest.

Welcome to 5th & Wine! Located in a funky industrial area of Great Falls, this great space restaurant is housed inside an old sheet metal warehouse. Some of my favorite restaurants are inside creative reworked spaces such as mansions, old homes, and warehouses. 5th & Wine had done a magnificent job redefining this vast space into a cozy wine bar with restaurant.

The open space has a comfortable and urban rustic charm to it. My friend and I enjoyed the relaxed environment, with down to earth food and excellent wine.

Considering we were in Montana, and my friend and I are both O Blood Type carnivores, the obvious choice was BEEF! We were in Montana, the land of meat and potatoes, and of course we wanted to fit in. Actually we could care less about fitting in, we just knew what states had the best beef.

Wine and a Reserved Table

Since 5th & Wine is Great Falls’ most coolest wine bar, the wines offered were both impressive and well thought through. I decided on the pinot noir since that has always been a nice red wine for my palate. The wine choice was a magical combination for our steak. Even my friend who is not a wine drinker said “There is some wonderful stuff happening with my taste buds”, as she drank her pinot noir and ate her Wagyu.

What an extraordinary meal and an introduction to the local beef in Montana. Everything at 5th & wine was outstanding from the service, the friendly atmosphere, the wonderful wine and to the delicious cuisine. No wonder this restaurant was noted as one of Great Falls’ finest.
