I was in Phoenix on business recently and was told to try out Monti's because well... what else is there on Mill Avenue outside of PF Changs. So I read all this ish about it being historical, but the place is incredibly dark. It's so dark that it's totally uninviting. People like to see their food right?
The food. I said I was on business right? I must have consumed about 2,500 calories in the one sitting since my company was flipping the tab on everything outside of alcohol. I ordered not one, but two appetizers; hot buffalo wings (they come in mild too), jumbo shrimp cocktail, a 9oz, filet mignon with steamed veggies, and a side cesar salad. It was really pretty good. My filet was cooked perfectly medium and my fork was enough to cut it since it was so tender. I had some of my coworker's prime rib which was also good and by the way those were the main two items on the menu which really seemed appealing (filet mignon and prime rib). The other dishes were random pastas and out of season fish. Arizona is probably not the best place to get seafood right?
PS I did eat all of my food despite my colleagues thinking that someone who tips the scales at 112 lbs could not achieve such a feat.
