"Yes, please. The Continental Divide never disappoints. The Continental Divide is a unique blend of casual elegance, cheerful lightness and epicurean delights from the Big Sky Country. An authentic bistro, the Continental Divide is located in a log cabin with a range of seating, including interiors in the cozy lodge and outdoor seating on the covered veranda with unobstructed views of the Madison mountains. We have eaten in this restaurant for 10 years, sometimes trips from the Austin, Texas area, just so we can get this fabulous Madison Valley favorite. Owner/ Chief Eric Trapps seasonal menu specifically ignores the classification. For beginners all appetizers were sent, only for the sheer joy to find out how the cook blends so beautiful aromas. Personal favorites are the Escargots a' La Burgundian and the Baked Brie in Phyllo about cool Pear Puree; the aromas are so melted that they were perfectly aligned. We fought for Entrees who was the best. I announced at the first bite that someone could taste my sauce at the table, but they had to stay away from the protein. It was so tender, well stuffed, and mouth tingling, that I could simply not get a Christmas spirit to share. If you have never tried Slow Roasted (7 hours) Long Island Duck, you need to get this duck. I absolutely loved the smooth, hearty taste of Duck with the tempting surprise of Apricot Mango Glazes. Wow! ...and there are many wines to choose, the meal was nothing short of unforgettable, excellent, divine. How many restaurants you go and remember exactly what you had, how it tasted, how it paired with wine... just so special. I can recite any food I've ever eaten in the Continental Divide."
