| - I walk by Montecito's every day on the way to and from work, and had been meaning to check it out because I was so charmed by the ambiance I could see through the window. The seating accommodates groups, dates, and more causal lounge diners. They have a really cute bar area that faces Adelaide street. We stopped by later in the evening for a small meal; the three of us ordered the cod main, which was "fine", pizza salami, which was good, and I had a trout "tartare", which was just terrible. Honestly, there wasn't even lemon on it; it was just chopped up and thrust on a plate with a rice chip. It looked more like mauled bait than anything else. Server kept scowling because I asked for bread (sorry girl, how on earth would you have eaten it?). Treated us a bit unprofessionally, probably disappointed that we weren't having a full meal at 9:30 PM, but she'll do better if she learns to keep decorum. Crowd is older.
