Frommer's Review
Helena residents love this restaurant like you'd love an eccentric aunt: She's the most interesting relative you have and you always have a great time at her place. Who cares if she has a checkered past? This former bordello continues the location's tradition as a focal part of Helena's nightlife. Try one of a long list of microbrews (including Bag Bitter, brewed exclusively for the saloon by the local Blackfoot River Brewing Company), or order something from the extensive collection of appetizers before moving on to the Little Ida sandwich, 10 ounces of ground sirloin with peppers and onions, and fries so thick you'll barely be able to finish a serving. Seafood is flown in twice weekly, steaks are hand-cut on the premises, and the daily quiches are top of the line.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
