    We have dined at Cafe Monte many times for breakfast, brunch or lunch. I have several favorite dishes from their menu. Recently I ordered the Duck confit with waffles. I have ordered this before and am never disappointed. The duck is perfectly cooked, and the waffles are so light and tasty. I’m not usually very interested in quiche, but the quiche Lorraine and the other one are so good! Don’t even get me started on the beignets 😋. Delicious! Better yet, disregard all this and don’t go. That way it will be easier for me to get a table.😆

    We have been dining at CM for many years. the food is always good, actually great, and reasonably priced today given the inflationary issues in our economy. Service was good, perhaps a little slower than past experiences, but the server may have had more than the usual number of tables to cover. The server was very polite and answered all of our questions about the menu. Given these very minor shortcomings, I still recommend CM as a great place to dine and will continue to patronize this restaurant.

    Great dinner and great service. I had the Trout Amandine and my friend had the Risotto. Both were wonderful. I requested a table by a window and they accommodated my request. Waiter was nice & helpful and service was great.

    I have eaten at Cafe Monte many times. The food and service are always good. The only negative being the noise level. It is quite noisy and this seems to be the norm for most restaurants now. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends.

    Lunch last week was delicious. We had very fresh green salads with Quiche Lorraine and Spinach Quiche. They were cheesy and rich in flavor. My friend wanted fries but didn't want an entire order. Our very efficient and friendly waitress brought her a small portion on a side plate with a dab of ketchup. It was perfect! This spot is a favorite!

    Anna was an excellent server. Fairly disappointed in the food. Orange juice was not fresh squeezed. I know the difference. Lump crabmeat salad was back fin and small, which didn't matter really as I do not eat back fin crab meat. Omelette was tasteless. Duck confit was good. Waffles were okay. Overall, underwhelming and we won't be returning

    A great lunch with a friend was very nice. The salads were delicious! I had strawberry salad with salmon and she had Asian Chicken salad. We raved about how delicious they were. My salmon was cooked perfectly. Cafe Monte is a favorite spot to catch up with my friend and the food is always fabulous!

    Ordered the escargot which was delicious and tender - loved the pesto and the croute on top - was a little too bready - needed to be flakier - but excellent anyway; also ordered the quiche lorraine - very rich and tasty!!! could not eat it all - took it home an once it was cooler it was salty....but still very good!!! would get again; dessert was the lemon tart (which is stored in the cooler case at the entrance - lemon tart was oustanding but the crust was so hard (from being in the cooler) that we could not eat it and just did the lemon and whipped cream - definitely needs a softer graham cracker crust.

    I ordered a carafe of cranberry mimosas for 3 people. It came out as a nice blush color. Not too much cranberry. It was delicious and I think it filled 6 or 7 glasses. I had the Chicken and Wild Mushroom Crepe. I would definitely get that again. So yummy! My daughters had the short rib sandwich which they enjoyed. My boyfriend had the Monte Benedict I believe it was called. He loved it. His son had the Duck and Belgian Waffle. He was in heaven. We all enjoyed our meals and would go again.
