Me and my partner came for Valentines Day dinner. Most restaurants can be super stressful and chaotic on holiday’s, but I cannot stress enough how well the entire Montanas team did. Making the reservation and calling to confirm was so easy, service and food were impeccable, and everything seemed perfectly under control. I was extremely impressed by how well everyone performed under pressure and I look forward to the many times I’ll return.

My steak didn’t taste like a good steak because it wasn’t. That was what I ordered though. I go here about 3 times a month. Still will.

Overall a decent experience. We were seated promptly, and our server was very attentive. The steak with lobster & shrimp was a little disappointing though, the lobster & baked potato side were very both small. Not worth the additional $10 in my opinion. Both steaks we ordered medium but came out medium rare. We didn't say anything at the time because they could deal, but will take notes and remember to order med-well next time.

We were seated right away, our waitress was absolutely amazing, she did her job amazingly but also stayed to chat with us for a few minutes here and there. The food was all perfect we ordered apps but unfortunately we’re too full for our main dinner, so took it to go. Always an amazing experience at Montanas
