If you hate saving money and love extremely mediocre food, then you will love Le Mont.
We came here for a Valentine's Day dinner. The view is nice but we were stuck near one of the side windows so we ended up having a poor view of the beautiful Downtown Pittsburgh. It was also snowing...but I can't blame wintry Mother Nature. Especially since she visits Pittsburgh so often.
Red Flags:
1- Our waitress, when we asked what the soup of the day was, completely forgot what was in the soup. She stuttered and pulled out a notepad and read it off to us. I would like to think Le Mont would step up their game during V-day weekend. The soup was also a boring vegetable soup. Gag.
2- When my boyfriend ordered crabcakes:
Waitress: You should order a side.
Him: Why?
Waitress: Because this entree is small. It only comes with one side.
Him: Well what's the side?
Waitress: a tomato.
The "side" is half a tomato with cheese on top. I got this side too. It was disgusting and undercooked.
3- Our food.
I understand that this place is expensive. But I expected at least decent quality food for the price!
Appetizer: $17 - for FOUR pieces of cocktail shrimp in what tasted like jarred marinara sauce. This was especially painful because I bought a pack of cocktail shrimp and sauce for a third of the price at Trader Joe's the week before.
My lamb: ~$40 dollars. The sauce was nasty and brown and had absolutely no taste. I had to repeatedly put salt and pepper on it. The skin wasn't crisp and had congealed into this thick layer of fat that my teeth couldn't even get through.
Crabcakes: ~$40 dollars. Mediocre, cold, and so boring. There was no presentation. It was literally two blocks of garbage on an empty plate.
Side: We ordered a side of potatoes because our waitress wouldn't go away until we did. It was DISGUSTING. Even my boyfriend, who loves most potato-y things, couldn't stomach a second bite. It was like a potato gratin, but had been fried and left outside for 5 hours. That garbage was $7.
Dessert: $7 mediocre slice of cheesecake.
A terrible experience -- I wouldn't pay $20 to eat this kind of food.
