Delicious food with friendly service. The food was amazing. Everything was cooked and flavored to perfection
Mother's Day dinner out. Haven't been to Montarra in years. They lost our reservation, but seated us anyway. That was the first... of several issues with our visit. Then seated outside in the Covid tent. Which was fine, we were happy to have a table. But thefloor was so unstable every time somebody walked by our table one side of it shot up in the air and almost spilled our drinks.We just laughed, but they need to either stabilize the floor or stop serving out there. Our poor waitress could barely put thetray of food on the tray stand because the floor was moving. No joke. The service from our waitress was good, she was hustling.But the service from the bar and kitchen were not good. SLOW. Drinks were good. Bread was good. Bouillabaisse was outstanding.Chicken dish with Risotto was solid. My wife's steak came out cold. Like cold to the touch. At $52 for a NY Strip that'sinexcusable. Then our waitress was in another zip code probably waiting for another order for a long time before we could get mywife's dish corrected and she could eat her Mother's Day dinner. Thing is we love this place, and once corrected, the steak wasexcellent. They hopefully were just having a bad night. But at these prices they can't afford to have bad nights or people won'tcome back. We, however, will be back to give them another shot. They comped one of our martini's for the cold steak. That was anice gesture, we didn't ask for anything. I still think it's one of the best "special occasion" restaurants in the area. For theprice it's not a regular stop unless price doesn't matter.

Wonderful experience. Great upper scale restaurant. Had so many things that it was hard to pick. Can't wait to go back and try... others items on their menu. Read more
I just love coming here. Boyfriend and I came here for our first date and then came back for Valentine’s Day this year. It was... decorated so beautifully and is very romantic! I had one of the best French Onion soups I’ve ever had this weekend but reallyeverything was so good. Read more
Fantastic food and experience! Highly recommend the stuffed mushroom app. Bouillabaisse and filet. Hidden gem for sure! Save... room for dessert because the toffee pudding and flourless chocolate torte were superb! Read more
Wish I could've gotten more pictures. But the food was very delicious. Excellent for a nice dining experience or a family... outing. We had sat outside inside the tent the atmosphere is very nice with the little vines and lights. But I will say therewere many bugs like mosquitoes which were distracting lol. So it made eating very unpleasant. Probably the best dining place youcan get in the area. The food was very good. Read more
Our waitress was very friendly & knowledgeable. All the food was hot, fresh, looked beautiful and tasted amazing. The drinks... from the bar were spot on. This is definitely an upper scale restaurant. Read more
