About the restaurant

Abruzzo Italian Kitchen opened in December 2017. As is the Italian tradition, our focus is on the quality of our ingredients and simplicity of preparation. We cook by hand, from scratch, including all of our fresh pastas and wood fired pizzas. In addition to the Italian staples, we offer an extensive shared plates selection, grilled steaks, fresh seafood, and a small but decadent dessert list, all prepared in-house and served alongside an Italian-focused cocktail program and an Italian-centric wine list. Hospitality is the core of what we do: our staff is warm, genuine, knowledgeable, and attentive, and we pride ourselves on creating memorable experiences for every guest that walks through our doors.

About the restaurant

At Herb & Omni, every meal tells a story—crafted by James Beard–nominated Chef Earl Reynolds, a Whitefish native who’s redefining what it means to eat well in the mountains.

Set inside 101 Central, Whitefish’s beautifully restored historic landmark, Herb & Omni offers an experience that’s as elevated as it is welcoming. Think playfully refined dishes, thoughtfully sourced from nearby farms and purveyors who treat ingredients with reverence.

Whether you lean plant-based or crave a perfectly cooked steak, the menu balances luxury and comfort, made for herbivores and omnivores alike. And the vibe? Warm, intimate, and distinctly local—with a service team full of familiar Montana faces who treat every guest like a regular.

This is where locals come to celebrate, travelers stumble into magic, and those in the know come back again and again.

Sarah was great! Paced our meal so we were not rushed. Very friendly and helpful. The flavors from the chef were unique and creative; best French dip I have ever ordered. The beef was perfectly cooked to be tender and flavorful. Definitely recommending this place!

Who would ever expect such amazing southern food in Montana! My wife and I had a delicious meal at Tupelo Grille. We started with their flaky, buttery biscuits (and honey). Best ever! My entree was their Blackened Alabama Catfish. The menu description: lemon-old bay “come back” sauce, smoked tasso-braised collared greens, jalapeńo cheese grits, pearl onion black-eyed peas. This dish will be remembered! My wife ordered: SEARED AIRLINE CHICKEN BREAST - Boursin yukon parsnip mashers, charred chicory & endive, buttermilk-herb dressing, pickled cranberries & huckleberries, sage and sherry jus. Also excellent! Whenever I’m able to travel to Whitefish again, this restaurant deserves a return visit.
