This is one of the nicer restaurants on Mill Ave, despite the entire restaurant being a dark maze I almost got lost in. Went here recently for a "reception style" dinner for my friend's wedding. We had reservations and had a party of 14.
Our server was certainly friendly, however I'm not sure was used to serving larger parties of people. Drinks took an awfully long time to arrive (I think 20ish minutes to wait for drinks is a little excessive). Granted, some of us ordered alcohol and I completely understand that the few that order cocktails may have to wait a little longer but they weren't really busy so I'm really not sure what was going on.
The bread they brought out while we waited for food was quite good. We ordered the sampler appetizer that came with potato skins, onion rings, and some meat that my boyfriend ate and I can't recall what it was exactly (I realize that this isn't helpful), The food took a long time to arrive. Everyone appeared to enjoy their food. The sampler app we got was pretty good but likely not the level of spectacular of actually ordering a meal.
My main complaint is the slow service and confusion on the server's part. The manager got involved at some point and one of the older ladies in my party expressed disappointment with the potato skins being too spicy. I'm really not sure why a place would just pour hot sauce all over potato skins "just because the chef likes spicy food". I realize it says right on the menu that hot sauce and ranch come with the potato skins but under the sampler, it does not explicitly say this, causing confusion for the older lady. I had a Yelp check in deal (50% off appetizer) that I had a little trouble redeeming but thankfully cleared up quickly.
I wouldn't recommend this place for large parties. Since I don't eat meat, I can't reasonably foresee returning but I'm sure this place is great if you're wanting a nice change of pace from the typical Mill Ave restaurants. I *do* enjoy Tempe's Front Porch, which is attached to Monti's and is a much more relaxed environment-great for cocktails and people watching.
