on Citysearch Nov 11, 2008I can't think of a place that has won me over time and time again like Cafe Montana. My wife and I had dinner there on Saturday night and I was BLOWN away. They have this prawn and mango salad that I can't stop thinking about... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 14, 2008This is a pretty popular place, and chances are you'll have to wait for a table if you try to go for a weekend brunch, but there's a reason it's popular. They serve up pretty consistent food, and the staff is super... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 27, 2008After a HORRIBLE experience down the street at Locanda Portofino, we tried this place and it was delightful. Easy to get a reservation for 2, even though it was a full Friday night. Hostess was so nice and got us a window... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 03, 2007Their food wasn't very tasty. The waiter was inexperienced and double charged my credit card which two months later I am still trying to get fixed but the owner never returns my calls. Im not sure if this is because the... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 21, 2007So, it looks nice from the outside.... It's always packed, so it must be good, right? Wrong-o. To start off, the tables are small, the menus are large, and there's no place to put anything. You can't even find a... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 13, 2007Why this restaurant is still open boggles my mind. The service is so awful: it took forever for our waiter to come to our table, they never once refilled any of our drinks or waters, the french fries tasted like the ones I... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 02, 2007Being on vacation, we got a bit of a late start and hoped to find breakfast after 11am - luckily, we happened upon Cafe Montana. At Cafe Montana we dined on fluffy banana-walnut pancakes, and a giant breakfast burrito... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2007Cafe Montana is the perfect place for a romantic date. Nestled quaintly amongst trendy boutiques on Montana Avenue, this cafe offers American-fusion dishes amongst a dimly lit atmosphere. I recommend the pumpkin... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 30, 2006First off, they don't make reservations for parties of 3 or fewer. Once the hostess seated us, she basically three the little yellow "specials" card on our table and as she walked away said "here are the specials." We... (more)

on Yahoo Jul 23, 2006roaches here: we saw a roach crawling on the wall adjacent to the kitchen. an employee quickly pushed it behind the hanging Zagat plaque, ironically. 4/5 dishes came out great, but one dish that came 10min later than... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2006We had a special occasion this past Sunday and I decided to make reservations at Cafe Montana. Our experience was pretty bad and I was actually embarrased that I suggested this place. I will make sure to not come back... (more)
