Jake Bowers our waiter was very professional and knowledgeable as usual. He is really the king of his field. To add to our excellent experience, the manager who was very sweet and courteous stopped at our table to check if everything to our likings. This young man has an excellent future.

The food was excellent and well priced but we will skip the drinks next time. Although they were made well and not over priced, the bartender was incredibly slow even when ordering a simple glass of wine when the restaurant was nearly empty. The rest of the staff is friendly and very accommodating overall, the place is lovely and the menu has something for picky, vegetarian me and my meat eating friends that left us all impressed.

Enjoyed taking a date here. Usually prefer the patio seating, but the evening was rather cold so we sat inside. Music & atmosphere were pleasant. Our server, Cascade, was warm & friendly & offered great suggestions about our order. Steak was exceptional, paired with the burrata salad. Will be back.

The service was outstanding, and the food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the evening special, and it was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had! The cinnamon ice cream was absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. Fine dining at its best! Highly recommend!

    It was an amazing experience, with the most beautiful food I've ever eaten. Every single dish is a work of art. I'm super proud to have Monte as the first Michilen Star in our state, virtually in my back yard. The food tastes as wonderful as I looks. The service is very on point and the staff makes you feel very welcomed. We will definitely be dining at Monte again. You should book a table
