My friend said that whenever vegan or vegetarian friends visit, they want to go to Monty's so I was interested in trying it. We went for dinner.
I got a peanut curry vegan dish that had a lot of vegetables and peanut sauce over rice. My paleo friend got grilled chicken skewers with grilled veggies and rice, while my other friend got chicken pot pie and a milkshake.
All of our food was delicious, hearty, and reasonably priced. Obviously some of the food is not exactly what comes to mind as diner food. Due to their wider menu that suits a variety of tastes, I'd say it's a few steps above just 'diner,' nicer than Hubbard or Mickey's but not as fancy as Bassett Street Brunch Club. The dessert bar looked good but I was so full.
Despite going on a weeknight, it was still buzzing with people.
The service was great. I look forward to returning.
