It is disappointing to write this... I don't do many reviews, something has to be great or really poor to warrant it. I grew up going to monti's when Leonard was still running things... And it was perfect... Always.
Now things have changed. In our last 5 visits, (over about a year period), we have been consistently disappointed. Last night we went and they "were out of bread". It was 5:30pm, the dinner rush hadn't even started! Then when we ordered I was informed it is $1 to get a salad as a side... (I agreed but it seemed silly since I have done that for 25+ years). My steak was ordered rare and her's medium rare. Mine came out med well and hers medium+ (mine also came with mashed potatoes when I ordered baked). Our waitress was friendly, but they have stepped their prices up so much that they are competing with the big boys. At $30 for a steak, ($110 for dinner for 2 with a couple drinks), they are no where near the quality of others in that price range (Flemings, Ruth's cross et al). Gone are monti's glory days. Too bad too since we live less than 200m away.
