One of my favorite restaurants in Jackson Hole is the Blue Lion. It is located on Millward Street just a couple blocks from downtown Jackson. This restaurant has been a local favorite for many years. Their most famous dish is their rack of lamb. It is simply to die for (well, at least for one of the parties involved)! Blue Lion Restaurant in Jackson Hole is Fine Dining at it’s best!
There are many other options including my wife’s favorite, elk medallions. The menu is worth a read!

DESSERT
The owner, Ned, is a friendly local that gets involved by serving food and chatting with guests. The ambiance is classy casual, and on many evenings a guitar player is strumming away and sounding excellent!
The lounge at the front of the restaurant is small and cozy and is a perfect place to strike up a conversation with other people waiting to be seated. There is a full bar that is primarily used for serving drinks to guests that are dining. There’s an outdoor seating area as well as downstairs and upstairs areas. If you are going on a romantic date, I suggest asking for Table 2.
