I had a wonderful first experience at Montarra. Despite living in the area for many years, I had not had the chance to visit until this past Saturday night. I had made reservations for my wife's birthday and four of our friends, and we were pleasantly surprised by the attentive staff and the fact that our table was ready when we arrived early. The menus even had a special happy birthday message for my wife, which was a nice touch that we hadn't requested. The atmosphere was fantastic and my group appreciated the low noise levels, which made for a great environment for conversation. The food was excellent and all of our guests were happy with their meals. My wife was especially pleased and surprised by the thoughtful gesture from Montarra.
The restaurant offers excellent food quality and service. However, the ambiance is dark and loud. I would consider returning to the bar for drinks and small plates, but the noise level was too high for enjoyable dinner conversation during our visit.
The food, service, and ambiance were absolutely fantastic. Our waiter, Sam F., was exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu items. I highly recommend Montarra!
The food was incredibly delicious and the service was exceptionally friendly. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection.
