There’s something about dining with a beautiful view that makes every experience feel elegant, even when the restaurant itself is casual. And while there aren’t many options for waterfront dining on the shores of Flathead Lake, you won’t need another option once you discover Harbor Grille. This laid-back lakeside restaurant has it all: a welcoming atmosphere, frequent live music, cocktails, classic American cuisine, and a dockside patio that can’t be beat.
