Montana has a lot of warm weather traditions, from our outdoor festivals to our firework-filled rodeos. But if you live anywhere near Virginia City, you know how exciting and fun it is when our favorite ghost town comes alive for the season. And part of that process involves opening the Wells Fargo Steakhouse, a historic treasure with fantastic food.

The historic Wells Fargo Coffee House was originally constructed in the 1880s.

Back then, Virginia City was a thriving mining town.
The Wells Fargo building has been a restaurant since Charlie Bovey resurrected it in the 1950s.

And while it has new owners (Scott and Amy Kelley) as of 2016, the same historic ambiance and wonderful food remain.
Step inside and you'll see tall tin ceilings, a horseshoe bar, and Victorian decor.

The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and surprisingly casual for a fine dining experience.
