I have been going to this French restaurant for some years now and always look forward to going back. The staff is friendly, receptive, and accommodating. I have a fond relationship with Jose and he smiles and recognizes me each time I go. The only negative thing I experience, not the fault of the restaurant, is diners who don't have consideration of others, loud mouths, and those who come dressed in outside work clothes. This puts a damper on the dining experience.

We love the place, have for years. Best when there are fewer people there because the noise level is too high. But we're glad to see their business is so good. Cafe Monte is on our top 5 list.

We love Café Monte, but unfortunately my husband got violently ill shortly after our meal. I suspect it was bad trout. Service wasn’t great either. The toilet wasn’t auto flushing in one of the unisex bathrooms. I went in after a man who couldn’t be bothered with putting the toilet seat down and the toilet wasn’t flushed. Let’s just go back to men’s and women’s restrooms and do away with the auto flush toilets.
