Review content:
Went there for my cousin's B-Day this past weekend. First impression, the decor was fabulous and looked every part of a steakhouse that it should. Unfortunately that was the best part of my experience. I was the only person under forty with a few sprinkles of people aged 40 to 50, with the remaining demographic easily 60 and over, way over. Have you ever gone to clubs during your 20's and early thirties and the majority of the clientele was within your age group, except for that one guy that looked like your dad and kinda freaked some people out. Well that's how I felt, I was that guy except the reverse was true. I felt like I walked into a retirement center and would probably get carded for my AARP membership or Medi-Care card. Which leads me to the food, overpriced meats and salty side dishes. Ordered the Prime Rib, Diamond Jim Brady cut, medium rare. The meat was good but not at those prices, I could do equal or better with Whole Foods aged rib eye cuts at home. And the sides, all were over salted, the creamed corn, spinach and mashed potatoes. I have a feeling that the chef probably was seasoning everything for the geriatric diminished taste buds, which is ironic because it didn't help my pressure when I saw the bill. Which leaves the service which was average at best a few times to start the evening, but scarce during the end of the evening. I had to leave early so I asked the waiter to prepare my share of the bill, well I should have looked more closely (that was another thing, it was very dimly lighted) because when I got home I was charged for mushrooms and a chopped salad that I never ordered (BTW, everyone was paying for their own meal, except for my cousin's portion which was handled by his sister). So there you have it, Monty's you owe me a salad and a side dish, just don't salt it when its time to settle. - 0 stars, one for the dcor and .5 for the meat, I'm rounding it up.
Cons: Server did not know the menu.
