    Been going to the MV Inn for years. Think I would be considered a local. Great food, great ambience. But the service. Don't know what the hell is going on there but the wife/owner must be going thru menopause and she's dragging her waitress daughter with her. Can be very condescending and when not, very phony smiley smiley. This is a service type business and you need to be up and pleasant all the time. Granted, if your being mistreated by a customer and can take only so much, fire back. But if you are not, then be genuinely pleasant. It usually will reflect in the tip. I have always tipped generously there and you would think they would remember that. But apparently not. The locals have spent a lot of money in there, you think they would get a little better treatment. I will be limiting my visits there from this time on.

    I was very !!! surprised to see ANY negative reviews re: the Monte Vista Inn. I have been going to this restaurant for over 25 years and it MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT. I choose it for all my special occassions and for a treat to take my guests. Their food is always wonderful and the service warm and inviting. I enjoy the cozy fireplace area with the live music on Saturday nights. I choose to call for reservations, but, sometimes, we just take a chance to get in. We might have to wait,but, we just order a drink and enjoy the ambiance. It's so funny...I love their cloth napkins. They are seasonal!!! and they change their twinkle light decorations to match the time of year. I don't know what was going on when the people who had negative reviews visited, but I hope they give the place another try. Call the owners...I know they would be so gracious to talk to you and try to rectify the problem. Cheers =)

    great mahi mahi with pleasantly calm service - love the spicy blue cheese dressing. I loved the lady's flag shirt at the table next to us, it reminded me of the harmless camp that my mother liked to dress in and always brought a cheery smile - have fun * and please wait a couple years before the trendy crowd discovers it and turns it into reservations only. I love just being able to drop in for dinner and feel nourished on the way home.
