I've eaten at Monty's probably 3 dozen times over the past two years and I've noticed that while the quality of ingredients remains high, the preparation consistency is low. One of my favorite items is their breakfast potatoes and sometimes they're perfect but often they are either raw or burnt. Today I ordered a breakfast sandwich and specified the egg over hard...it was almost raw.
The service is also hit or miss. Some servers are EXCELLENT, but there's this guy there that is just BAD. He's stuck up, doesn't refill coffee (i literally had to get up and get our own), and didn't' even bother to give a damn when my wife mentioned that the zucchini pancakes were bad (they were gross).
I'm done with Monty's. There's plenty of good breakfast places in Madison to give my money to.
