I picked Monty's for dinner because I was on the road with a co-worker and had no idea what his taste in food might be. I go for healthy and/or veg fare whenever I can, and since Monty's has an extensive vegetarian section on its menu as well as traditional diner dishes, I figured we'd both be happy.
And we were! My dish was roasted vegetables with spinach, quinoa, and fresh mozzarella which I liked but found a little oily (too much dressing). It was also not quite enough food for me, and I don't have a big appetite to begin with. Co-worker had some sort of turkey dinner that he liked enough that he trusted me to pick the restaurants we ate at for the rest of the week.
Service was ok but there was a bit of a wait for a table. The wait was worth it, though, and I'd definitely be a regular here if I lived in Madison.
