I absolutely love Sun Cafe! It was my first time going and it will not be my last. The service was incredible and everything we ordered we loved. There are so many choices on the menu . The Mac and Cheese was to die for. Sun Cafe is the perfect place to sit outside, have a cocktail and enjoy amazing and delicious vegan food.

I have lived in the valley for over two decades and have never been to this restaurant. I took a chance and I’m glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was superior to most restaurants in LA. The waiter helped us choose an amazing bottle of wine from Paso Robles. it was very, very good. We will definitely be back.

About the restaurant

Monty’s Steakhouse has been proudly family-owned and operated for over 80 years by three
generations of the Levine family.
Monty Levine’s start as a restauranteur came in 1940, while he was working for a wholesale beverage
distributor. When one of the customers on his route—who owned a small bar and burger joint on the
corner of Fair Oaks and California Boulevard, Pasadena—fell severely ill, Monty extended him personal
credit until he recovered. Touched by the generosity of this gesture, the customer offered Monty his
burger bar in settlement of his debts…and the original Monty’s was born.
For the rest of the story, read the back of our reto menus when you dine with us.
Dennis and Michael thank you for being a part of MONTY’S history.
The Levine Family

I have not been to Monty's in quite some time. Went with 2 friends and had a fantastic porterhouse steak with fabulous sides, a delicious salad and a wonderful martini. The atmosphere brought me back in time and the staff and owner were warm, attentive and helpful. I recommend this classic steakhouse for any type of occasion!
