I visited Monteaux's a couple weeks ago for lunch. I arrived right at open with my boyfriend and we were acknowledged and seated immediately. It took a few minutes for our server to come to our table but she acknowledged us and said she would be right there. The waitress took our order and when our food arrived it was very good. The fries were perfect and and the calamari was awesome. I have had a lot of calamari because it is my all time favorite and this was the best I have had with a very yummy dipping sauce. I have only a couple complaints. The first was how long it took to get our meal. Two different tables were sat after my boyfriend and I by about 15 minutes. Both tables had just two people and they arrived after we did one of which ate and left before we were even served and the other served 15 minutes before us. My boyfriend and I and the other two tables all ordered hot food do I am not sure what happened there. That was a little frustrating since our whole point in arriving at opening was to have a shorter wait but it isn't anything that would stop me from going back. Although I said the food was really good my only complaint about it would be that the fish in the fish and chips meal was a little to greasy but still good. My boyfriend had a grilled wrap (unsure of the exact kind) and he said it was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant for a meal out as far as the food goes but the staff isn't all that friendly except for the host and the busboy. The waitress didn't seem all that thrilled to be there or having to wait on us. I think it is affordable with good food and a nice atmosphere. If you added friendly staff it would be perfect. For me service is really important and I like to feel like the waitstaff is willing and wanting to make my experience very nice so in that regard I will go elsewhere next time where I can find good food and good SERVICE!
Pros: Good food, Nice atmosphere, Ample parking
Cons: Long wait for food, Unfriendly staff
