What We Do
The Black Board is the only fine dining culinary addition to Libby, Montana with our doors opening in winter 2016. The Black Board offers Chef prepared and served, modern Mediterranean cuisine on an ever changing and seasonally based menu. Our Chef takes great pride in seeking out quality and sustainable suppliers and when possible, uses the most locally farmed and house made cuisine in Northwest Montana. Ensuring exceptional quality service and fine dining standards is a priority and our purpose is to please our patrons. With your reservation, expect table side service directly from our head chef himself, adding a special touch to each of your courses. We encourage you to come, relax, and enjoy a truly exceptional, dining experience. |

Our Location
|
The Black Board may be new but our location has historical and unique roots. The Black Board is happily situated with splendid views of the majestic Cabinet Mountains and is just minutes from the sparkling Kootenai River. Our location puts you a stroll away from the heart of downtown historic Libby where you will find all the exciting shops, parks, events and attractions that Libby has to offer.
The house itself was originally built in 1923 and after extensive renovations, remodeling and restoration, we are proud to showcase much of the original character and history of the house with a fresh modern touch. |
