The Blue Lion - Jackson

I love starting with baba ghanoush – it is the best! The scallops, Idaho, trout, the filet mignon, the elk, the duck… All, creative and delicious! A nice selection of wines, local beers, and cocktails. Vegetarian options: Salads, baba ghanoush, pasta dishes.

Wow. This restaurant did not disappoint. From the beginning, the vibe is really nice. Elegant but not stuffy or fancy. We ate on the patio, which was lovely. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The bartender was excellent. I’ve never had a better Vesper martini. Perfect. The stuffed mushrooms were out of this world. The rack of lamb was as good as we hoped for. Lived up to the hype. We eat at a lot of places all over the world and this restaurant stands out. Highly recommended.

We drove in from a day full of hiking in the Grand Tetons and had reservations at the blue lion. We had seen weeks before that it was highly rated and took reservations through google maps! Everyone talked about how good the lamb chops were but we decided on the elk tenderloin, roasted salmon, and seafood scampi! All of the items turned out great! The food was delicious, waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable, and atmosphere was great! We ended up choosing the mud pie for dessert, it was a great way to finish up dinner! I would highly recommend the blue lion and plan to go back in the future! The online reservations through Google worked great, we just walked up and were almost immediately seated! (Also, the rustic inn has a shuttle that will drop you off and pick you up, making it super nice) One side note, if you’re looking for a fast meal this is not it, we were there for around 2 hours but the food quality was well worth the wait!

I recently dined at The Blue Lion and had an outstanding experience. The Idaho trout was simply magnificent—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the entire evening enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Jackson!

Visited while in town for our anniversary. Food was delicious and the live music was great. Unfortunately, deducting a star for a couple reasons. First, the server was a bit cold and did not communicate well. It seemed that as soon as he realized we weren’t ordering alcohol (we do not drink), he had no interest in us. Additionally, our reservation was at opening and they were already sold out of the dish my husband wanted to try. I get supply chain issues, but seems like a big oversight by the restaurant.
