“ Wow! What a gem of a restaurant. Our expectations for dinner in Hamilton were exceeded when we dined with Spice of Life. Caleb- you’re a fantastic waiter, thanks for answering all of our questions. The soup and salad were wonderful, the steak dinner was the star of the show, and the strawberry tart... wow! My husband loved the autographed Wooten Brothers photo. We’re so happy we got to experience the magic that is the Spice of Life! ”
“ What an amazing place! The service, food and atmosphere were excellent! (Such a surprising little gem.) Great wine menu and the food/drink are very reasonably priced. You can tell the owners really care about providing a great experience and work hard to do so. While we were there a guest required emergency medical care. Because of this we were given a gift certificate to come back to the restaurant. There was no need for the gift certificate as the emergency was not due to any negligence of the staff/restaurant. But it showed a level of customer service/care not many places even aspire to any more. We were just visiting the area (from out of state), but if we are ever back in Hamilton, we will definitely come back to Spice of Life. Thank you for a wonderful, lovely experience. :) ”
“ We had one of our greatest meals here, so glad we stopped in!!!! Husband had jack Daniel's filet, picked plate lol. I had pork tenderloin, amazing! And can I just say...get there early if you want daily special soup, we got last 2 cups of szechwan beef noodle that was one of the best soups we have ever had ”
“ My husband and I went to Spice of Life tonight, and we can not say enough good things about our meal. The French onion soup was amazing. My chicken with Thai peanut sauce was juicy and delicious. My husband was equally impressed with his Jack Daniel's steak. Desserts are made locally, and the mounds cheesecake was perfect! We raved over every course and appreciated being able to enjoy a leisurely meal instead of feeling rushed out the door. The only thing we would change is that because it's a small space, it was loud and a bit hard to hear across the table. That said, my husband and I both agreed that the meal was worth every penny, and Spice of Life will be a place we visit again and again. ”
“ We really enjoyed our experience here! The service was extremely attentive and warm. The food was delicious. We got the steamed clams, Thai chicken linguini and the grilled flank steak with chimichurri. All dishes were so flavorful and perfectly cooked. As we left the parking lot, I told my husband, eating here feels like I just got fed by someone who loves me AND is an amazing cook. We will definitely be returning in the future. ”
“ Spice of Life is our favorite restaurant from Missoula down to Darby. The head chef, Karen prepares outstandingly flavorful, and creative dishes often using locally sourced ingredients. The staff is friendly and fun plus the wait for a table is rarely long. Reservations are usually not needed except on special occasions like Valentines day. Spice of Life is our 'go to' restaurant when company is in town. Based on the quality of the meals Spice of Life is an incredible value. ”
