I placed our reservation with Montero's through OpenTable, only mentioning that it was our 10th Anniversary as well as my wife's birthday. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were seated at a private and cozy table next to the fireplace, with fresh flowers, balloons, and a personalized 10th Anniversary card signed by the Montero's staff. Even the owner came to personally wish us a happy anniversary. The food (Prime Rib and Mahi Mahi) was absolutely perfect, and we shared a slice of probably the best cheesecake I've ever had for dessert. We were both so pleased with the service and the lengths that Montero's went to in order to help make this event special for us, and they succeeded in every way. To the Montero's staff, we thank you again, and we'll be back very soon!

I was disappointed that they didn’t have chicken parmesan but they offered a vegan version. The menu seemed different

We're sorry that you didn't have the option for the Chicken Parmesan and hope you still found a tasty dish for dinner!

Wonderful first time visit, will be going back. Very clean restaurant, nice atmosphere and terrific service! The food was very good. My shrimp were perfectly cooked and I loved the panko breading. A sweet little basket of different breads was a starter for us and it was well liked. This would be a great place to take someone for a special occasion. It is not a place that you have to dress up for, but when you are there you sense you are in a setting slightly elevated above other local restaurants.

Oh Sherry...what a kind review! Thank you so much for your support...it means a lot to us here at Montero's!
