| About: | Located in the Montgomery Village Shopping Center, Monti's welcomes you with its rustic Mediterranean ambiance. In addition to different nightly specials from the large wood-fired rotisserie, including CK Leg of Lamb and Liberty Farms Lavender Roasted Duck, Monti's menu offers both small and big plates that feature fresh local meats and seasonal produce. Also available are pizzas, pastas, salads and a selection of items from the raw bar. The well stocked wine cellar offers an extensive selection of wines, all available by the glass and there is a full bar.

I've eaten here 3 times. Bambie has eaten here 15 times. She likes the place much more than me. I've had 2 enjoyable lunches here with booze drinks. (Full bar pours premium liquor), but the food is not spectacular, and the prices are high. So value score is low. The food is more American than Mediterranean. See the website menu. There is a rotisserie that roasts the chickens, those are good. Appetizer portions tend to be small. The deep fried calamari was okay, it had good batter crunch but the flavor was timid. The bistro-like dining room is dark, adds romance for dinner dates. The real draw here is the good looking staff, pretty waitresses and buff bartenders predominate. Location is Montgomery Village, a 1950's vintage shopping center that has high-end shops, & is kept immaculately clean. A nice place to dine, keep your food expectations reasonable and you'll be perfectly happy.
a year later, more seasoned: The Monti's reviews ahead of this are pretty critical, but things have changed. I visited Monti's in early August 2007. The crew remains very young and the room is fairly noisy, but the while thing worked well tonight.
We had wine, salads and main courses and were appreciative of the slick service from this young crew. The food was uniformly good and service was fast and smooth.
There's so much to choose from on this menu and several interesting specials. I would recommend Monti's based on tonight.

Unpredictable at best: Same dish varies in quality, size, presentation, etc. from visit to visit. Staff is young and normally detached. Noise level is off the charts.
