Lodgepole is a restaurant raved about by many, with phenomenal cuisine, exposed brick walls, natural light and an open kitchen. It is no wonder the restaurant has been crowned winner of “Best of Date Night Dining.” 

For eight years, Lodgepole has served Italian-Mediterranean and Mexican-fused fine dining. Run by husband and wife Alex and Melissa Barham, the restaurant produces an elevated yet casual dining experience. 

Alex Barham doubles as co-owner and chef, while Melissa Barham is both co-owner and general manager. According to Alex, who has pursued culinary arts for nearly 20 years, one of the aspects of Lodgepole that makes it so unique is a dedication to local producers.  

“People fight tooth and nail for the kind of stuff that we get,” Alex said. “We have made these connections with some local producers…and we just love working like that.” 

One visitor wrote on TripAdvisor, “The folks at Lodgepole crafted an exquisite experience for us with their 5-course dinner. You can taste the craftsmanship and the freshness of their ingredients in each dish–we were reminded of Michelin star restaurants from the East coast! We can’t wait to come back for more.” 

Long-time patrons and new customers can look forward to many exciting changes coming to Lodgepole.  

Following Humble Burger’s recent move,  Lodgepole plans to expand its space to accommodate larger and private parties.  

Lodgepole fans can also get excited about an added brunch menu. Old favorites, like chicken and waffles, will be returning to the menu once the expansion and remodeling are completed. 

Moscow friends, families, couples and visiting groups are in for a welcoming and classy experience dining at Lodgepole. It is at the top of the list for a fun night out with good food that should be experienced by all.
