It was our first time at Helena & we enjoyed it thoroughly. My rack of Lamb was perfect & his filet mignon was absolutely excellent.

Fiasco date night Decor 8/10 , Rachel our waitress fabulous, The Arctic Char appetizer Nice, The octopus entree divine, The Fish prepped perfectly for my wife ! THE FILET MIGNON 0/10 asked medium rare came medium - well done, sadly my wife had her meal also at the same time, & ate alone 🤦‍♂️ I asked for bread - it was cold & dry sadly Because it took them 25 minutes to make another Filet Mignon, & put it back in a plate with cold polenta From my original plate!! & this is a classic i get it rare ,why? chef was worried to over cook! Meanwhile my wife ate her food 55 minutes. Prior to me finishing kind of a bummer for 268$ meal, no Manager came to the table Only the waitress who had no words & offered dessert on the house So many things went well & then boom fiasco! The steak redo could have come way quicker....sad ☹️

dined with a group of 8. Encouraged to take their sampling course....approx 9 courses. Food was outstanding. Service was subpar. Total experience was over 4 hours long (way too long). some servings were explained & others just placed on table with no communication.

Wow, everything we had there was amazing. The tequila cocktail, sea food platter, duck breast & chocolate ganache praline were all equally delicious. The service was also excellent.
