Entrepreneur Ted Turner has staked a claim on West End with this eatery designed to replicate an authentic Montana bar and grill. This qualifies as a—shudder—chain, but its quality design, warm ambience and commitment to fresh food distinguish it from its corporate brethren. The core of the menu—bison or beef burgers and boneless chicken breasts done 20 different ways—remains the same at lunch and dinner. (Bison is lower in fat, calories and cholesterol than beef, and the flavor is meatier and gamier.) There is no freezer in the kitchen, which means that everything is fresh and the meat is ground daily on the premises. Daily-changing blue plate specials present hearty versions of all-American classics, and steakhouse offerings include bison prime rib and a 9-ounce filet of beef. Entirely nonsmoking.
