Monty's is a classic diner in Madison. It offers lots of options for vegetarians so it draws a big crowd. I went with my girlfriends on Saturday @ 10:30 AM and we waited about 35 minutes to be seated.
The wait staff was very good and attentive. We had a toddler with us and the server made sure to place things out of her reach. It was quite considerate.
The food was just ok in my opinion. I had Eggs Mornay and it was good but not amazing. The poached eggs were overdone so that there was no liquid egg yolk oozing out when I cut into them. It lost the creamy, velvetiness of the dish that I was looking for when I ordered the dish.
My friends said their food was ok too but not the best we've had.
This is not a brunch place you can sit and talk with your friends for an extended time. They have a huge wait list and we were asked politely to leave.
Not a place you can take extra time to catch up. This is a get in eat your food and leave place.
Not sure I'd go back given there are so many other amazing brunch places in Madison.
