Cafe Monte

My experience at Cafe Monte was pretty cool! It was my first time going and I went alone, so I sat at the bar.There was a pretty long wait so I patiently watched the tvs and browsed my phone. The bartender noticed and ended up giving me a free drink because of the wait and my calm patience (so cool).I ordered the french toast and the ham and cheese quiche (first time having quiche) and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it! The french toast was pretty regular (nothing spectacular), but the quiche was really really good.The spot also has nice decor that I caught myself just staring at as I ate my food. Definitely a spot I'd go back to with my wife to try some more things and just enjoy the vibe.Bonus: the gentlemen that sat next to me had been going for a while and told me about another restaurant the owners have that I should also check out. I forget the name, but I'm sure with some digging I (or YOU) could find!

The last time I was here, I did not notice there is no women's restroom. This time, since we came a day that had 1/2 priced cocktails... I noticed. There are 2 restrooms and both are unisex. Not one of them gives a woman her own space. Instead, they decorated the bathroom with a "distressed look" to hide men's dribble on the floor and messiness. There was also no soap, it was out. The unisex bathroom reminds me of what you'd find in a gas station. It makes the restaurant low class.As for the food, I got the lobster & crab crepe again but it was not as good as the last time I was here. They shrunk the size by 1/3 and did not have as much meat. I regretted getting it. One gal got the shortrib over mashed potatoes and it was very good. One gal enjoyed the mussels. One gal got the gluten free pizza and didn't like it. (But, I mean it's gluten free so what do you expect ? Lol) The French onion soup was tiny but had excellent flavor. The desserts here are tiny... the fruit tart or creme brule can be eaten in 4 bites. The Nutella crepe was very good. The éclair tasted purchased. Drinks were excellent and the service was excellent. However, I do not return to a restaurant if they don't have a women's restroom so this will be my last time here.

Had a great time w the fam here for a Super Bowl day brunch. Samantha was a fun and transparent host with the most . Get a beignet, and a mimosa pitcher to start the experience!

Went for dinner and we ordered the French onion soup, kale salad, duck confit, and beef bourg. The main entrees were fantastic! The duck confit is cooked to perfection as it is tender and moist! The beef bourg is also amazing. Also tender and moist. Both dishes were full of flavor. Great portion size! Great atmosphere and fantastic service!

I really enjoyed my time at Cafe Monte! It is decorated well and really comfortable the vibe is relaxed and casual. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try. We ordered the escargot with puff pastry while it was good I felt that it was not seasoned as well but a little salt and pepper fixed that easily. The French onion soup was delicious. I ordered the croque madame which was wonderful though it could have been cooked a little better because it was fairly soggy. My husband ordered the prime rib sandwich and it was really good as well. my husband and I went for brunch on his birthday and they didn't give us any birthday dessert which was a little disappointing but understandable. The service was okay I felt like she gave us enough time to think and delivery and they leave water at the table so you can continue to fill your glass which is always a plus for me.I definitely want to go again and try more dishes.

Today my 21-year old niece and I decided to visit Cafe Monte for brunch. It's been a go-to eatery in my family for years. We're used to their phenomenal food and service. But today, things just didn't stack up.Our visit was impromptu, so naturally, we had no reservations. After a short wait of 10 minutes, the hostess graciously seated us at a shaded table outside, setting the stage for what we hoped would be another fantastic meal.Being frequent flyers of Cafe Monte's menu, we didn't need a refresher on the options. As we waited in the shaded heat for 10 minutes, a server with a beautiful, long blonde French braid came outside. My niece almost complimented her, but the server attended to the neighboring table and never acknowledged us. I figured that perhaps she wasn't our server.After another full 10 minutes of parched bafflement, she returned and attended to another table's needs. Watching her ask if they'd like refills without taking our drink orders was tough to witness. This time she stopped by our table to say, "I'll be right back to take your order," before disappearing again. We were thirsty and famished and wondered why she didn't at least take our drink order. After patiently waiting for a grand total of 20 minutes I decided it was time to ask for help. And yes, after she walked off I checked the time to see how long we'd have to wait for her return. Returning to the hostess stand, I politely asked the hostess for another server, explaining our dilemma and how she came and went multiple times without assisting us. The hostess said couldn't reassign our server but said she'd find her and ask her to take our order. Lovely. Our server finally resurfaced. No introduction, but she said "sorry about that" without any further explanation. We placed our straightforward order: steak and eggs for both, OJ, coffee, and an iced café latte with almond milk. Easy peasy.Our server returned with our drinks. The food followed suit. When the food runner arrived, we realized we were utensil-less. He promised to relay our silverware request to the server. After a five-minute bout of spoon-fed dining with my coffee spoon, my niece walked to the hostess stand to request silverware from her. She offered a friendly and sincere apology, and mentioned that she should have given it to us when we were seated. Understood. No problem.When our server returned she put a bottle of hot sauce on the table although we didn't request it or use it. She asked if everything looked good. It did, but my niece requested ketchup for her potatoes, since our table was condiment-less...minus the hot sauce. She arrived quickly with the ketchup.The meal concluded, and despite the hiccups, I tipped the customary 20% out of dining decorum, hoping to send a message of grace under pressure.This experience felt like a rare misstep for Cafe Monte. No use crying over spilt milk, though. We'll fork over another chance in the future, hoping it'll be back to its deliciously dependable self.

Just wow! What an incredible dining experience! We found this cafe from a travel blog and were not disappointed at all. We were seated right away and brought water for the table. The decor was French themed and I loved the French cafe music playing in the background. It really made you feel like you were in a Parisian cafe. The server recommended the beignets, so we started with a few of those and they were excellent! Very light and fluffy, with just the right amount of powdered sugar. I loved the jam that accompanied it as well! I ordered the duck confit and waffle, as recommended by our server, and I was blown away. The duck was so tender and the apple compote with the berry sauce truly brought a great touch to the waffle. Our server was so pleasant and always brought a smile to the table. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area, you will not be disappointed!

I have been to this location in the evenings and love their Wed night "Bottomless Mussels" special, but this time was brunch with a group of 5 couples and I was amazed. The service was impeccable. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. They put us in Fritz' Wine room, which made it easier to communicate in a more private atmosphere. Several in the group graduated to the "Clean Plate" club at this location. We do a weekly couples brunch tour and Monte's got a unanimous "Remain on Rotation" vote!

Cafe monte serves absolutely delicious food without doubt . Service is amazing - very thoughtful waitress who gave suggestions and various option to consider . The waitress time was little over 20 minutes despite after a reservation.The crab / lobster and veggie crepes were too amazing . The place is a casual hangout place & noise level is little high considering it's not a very huge place . Overall experience is good

The food was amazing! I recommend the spinach Florentine omelette with a croissant. We had a large party and the service was amazing. I know it's hard to accommodate so many people in a busy restaurant our waitress Michaela was awesome!
