Haven’t been here in a while. It was nice to come back. Food is great . You can tell they were busy and running behind on some things. But the server was very warm and welcoming and also apologized. It’s a great place and I definitely recommend it to anyone. Two thumbs up.

We were there to celebrate a birthday - and asked for the candle in one of the desserts - was not provided, sadly. The food was excellent but the stuff does not have any attention to details.

After our wine tasting in Sonoma Valley, we dined at Monti’s for the first time. I was glad I made a reservation for 6 as the restaurant got busy after us. We did not find the restaurant right away after parking on the plaza lot. We had to call the restaurant and gave us the hints where was it located. Finally we found it. There were two hostesses & they were happy that we found the restaurant. We were sat on the booth table. My friend thought it was small for 6 but they said it was the kind of table they give at least for 6 diners. The server arrived and asked if we want any drinks. We just asked for cold water; first it was a hot day and second we were wine tasting from 3 wineries and needed water only. We started with Oysters for 1/2 dozen. Then followed by Spread & Bread, Charred Octopus, Black Mussels, Fried Calamari & Lemon Tagliatelle. The other friend ordered the Flat Iron Steak separately since she does not eat seafood and enjoyed it. We told the hostess who helped in serving the missing bread and the mussels broth was salty. The ambiance was nice, both the hostess and our server were friendly. Just need adjustment on the mussels broth. It was an honest mistake on our bill when the server added the Rose of Pinot Noir $48. We did not even have any bottle of wine ordered. The server said we had similar order from the group of women dining outside. So she talked to them and a woman extended her apology and we looked through the window & said it was okay. The server came back with the correct bill and apology. Otherwise, my friends & I had a very nice experience dining at Monti’s.

Barely Average Experience Despite High Expectations I have visited Monti’s frequently over the years and have always had a great experience. I had high hopes for the revamped Monti’s, but unfortunately, my recent visit was average at most. The service, in particular, was a letdown. When I asked to change the wine selection (by the glass) shortly after ordering, I was told it was "already poured"—despite not having taken a sip yet or even having it delivered to the table. It felt unnecessarily rigid and dismissive, especially at a restaurant that presents itself as upscale. The food was a mixed bag. I ordered the octopus, which was cooked perfectly however, sadly far too salty and overpowered any of the subtle flavors I was hoping to enjoy. Presentation was nice, but taste and balance were lacking. The crab tagliatelle, was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of bite, and the crab was fresh, sweet, and decently portioned. A hint of chili, garlic and parsley brought everything together nicely. Despite having made a reservation well in advance we were seated at a poorly located table in the middle of the restaurant and the table was noticeably off-balance. It made the entire meal feel rushed and uncomfortable. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations. At this price point, I expect more attentiveness, flexibility, and better quality across the board.

Sat outside…in front of restaurant . (I don’t like sitting on side of restaurant) The food was presented in a pleasant way..& it tasted as good as it looked. I had lavender with grapefruit to drink that was delicious. My meal was roasted beet salad and Monti Cristo sandwich..both were delicious.

Went to lunch at Monty‘s for my daughter‘s birthday (which I shared it was her birthday on OT) but it was never acknowledged, which kind of bummed me out. I was looking for a lighter lunch. I really found nothing on the menu so ended up with the appetizer of dips and bread and no protein to choose from to add. Ordered a side of plain avocado ($10 for 5 slices) for my 2 y/o grandson came with pepper on it. Had to send it back. Just an overall OK experience still spent over $60 for 1 kale and chicken salad, my appetizer, slices of avocado and sparkling water which we shared (no alcohol). Won’t be back!

We had the lamb burger and the pork belly and both were delicious. It was actually hard to choose from a full and varied menu! Other diners looked like they were enjoying their food, so I don't think you can go too wrong. Lovely patio outside in the shade, perfect for people-watching on a sunny day.
