The Williston is a boutique hotel and restaurant located in, you guessed it, Williston, North Dakota.
The building looks like something out of an old European fairy tale. It was first built in 1918, dating it to over 100 years old. It was originally an Elks Lodge before being converted to the restaurant and hotel it is today.
Inside and out, it is divine. A fine dining area, beautiful hotel rooms, and gorgeous lobby will make you feel like you've stepped into something of royalty.
Though it has had a complete update and remodel to make it perfectly accommodating, the owners wanted to keep much of the original structure and interior and preserved the original look of the building. You can see these antique pieces come through in much of the decor.
The food in the restaurant is nothing short of exquisite, as well. The menu has everything from seafood that includes lobster and sea bass to perfectly cooked steaks, pasta, and so much more.
There are actually two parts to the restaurant. The Lounge has a menu geared towards things like burgers, fish and chips, and an incredible baked mac n' cheese. There is something for everyone here. You can also often enjoy live music here.
Don't forget about the nightly chef specials. They range from BBQ dishes to all kinds of exotic fish. This is truly a gem of North Dakota you won't find many other places!
