Kate was the best server with great recommendations. The vibe was amazing inside. Food was even more delicious, seasonal salmon couscous, with Brussels sprouts and squash all complimented each other and I left nothing behind. Pretzel bites with fondue was also so wonderful, 10/10 on my top list when I come back to Salt Lake City.

We kept coming back here because everything was so good! They have an excellent brunch menu as well as an excellent dinner menu. All the drinks are good. Standout appetizer is The Big Chhese, but you do need to order extra bread for it. Our favorite entrée was the Tommy Gun Tacos. For brunch we liked the chicken & waffles and the Eggs Benedict. We also went to their burlesque experience which was very fun!

Had my birthday brunch before flying home here and it was fantastic. Zee was our server and so friendly and attentive. She brought complimentary beignets when she leaned it was my birthday. We shared the green eggs and ham Benedict and got the deviled eggs starter. All was delicious.

It was an amazing experience, with the most beautiful food I've ever eaten. Every single dish is a work of art. I'm super proud to have Monte as the first Michilen Star in our state, virtually in my back yard. The food tastes as wonderful as I looks. The service is very on point and the staff makes you feel very welcomed. We will definitely be dining at Monte again. You should book a table

My husband and I went to the nightmare before Christmas pop up bar. It was so incredible—one of the better themed Halloween pop up bars I’ve been to in Utah. The stories of the cocktails and the way they serve them was incredible. The themed food platters were so much fun and surprisingly delicious. Often you expect these pop ups to have mediocre food—this one was extremely tasty and fun themed.

Eva was really busy this Saturday night, but the staff stayed on top of the drinks, food, and service. Our server was Emily, and she was the best! Our cocktails were perfect, as were all of our plates we selected. We had the brussel sprouts, cauliflower, butternut squash stuffed shells, and shrimp and lobster ravioli. All were flavorful and delicious! Thanks for another wonderful night out!
