We celebrated a birthday last night at Montarra. The drinks & wine were lovely. Service was perfect. Everyone ordered something different & agreed all was delish. We shared the creme brulee & flour less chocolate cake. An overall wonderful dining experience!

Excellent service with friendly and attentive staff. Food is always fresh and portioned well. Special occasions, like a birthday, are acknowledged sweetly without embarrassing hoopla.

I can't say enough wonderful things. My wife is still raving about the raviolo dish and the quail dish. What has been an unbelievably tough time for my family the chefs gave us an escape from outside and an opportunity to celebrate my wife's birthday the way we do every year. We loved the laid back atmosphere, the music, and will certainly be back.

Such a wonderful experience! My fiancé and I went for my birthday celebration and we loved it. The fall menu is delicious, the cheese curds are worth the hype, and the salmon is divine. Will def be back!

Met a friend for lunch and we were seated kindly at a high top outside away from others as requested. Our server was super sweet and attentive. We both ordered the Caesar salad with grilled salmon and it did not disappoint. I will return for that same dish in the near future.

This is one of the nicer restaurants in the area. We went there for our anniversary and were not disappointed with the food, the service or any other aspect of the meal8. But this was not a surprise because this has been our experience on every other occasion we have dined there.
