My local alumni association needed a place for a gathering last weekend and someone chose Monti's. I initially resisted based on past experience, but ultimately went along with the plan. The negotiated rate was $50 per head, which would have been reasonable for a nice restaurant. But Monti's is the same drab place it was last time I went there. Service was decent, but food was mediocre.... yet again. Same bland but salty white bread and same love of salt on everything else including the meat. Every time I end up at Monti's, it's someone else's decision and I regret it every time. I'd much rather go to one of the many quality steak restaurants in town.
