    Odd experience this time with two younger workers (hostess) at front. I booked for 3 people at 6 pm, asked for a booth. They repeatedly told me that I booked for 6 people and they didn’t have a booth open, which we double checked and I was correct it was 3 people for 6pm. Also, I asked if Jessica was in and was told she was not in today- as they said that she walked behind me and happily sat me at her side! Beside that, Jessica is such an amazing waitress we always have a great experience with her. Definitely recommend asking to be seated with her. Every time we go we get seated with her if she’s in! Always exceptional service! Jessica is always amazing.

    The patio is the place to be at Montana’s! The service was fast and reliable and the food was delicious. The music was a little loud, but other than that, the atmosphere was a fun and happy one. I’d definitely come back for another date night!

    Our server, Rilley, was charming and accommodating. Kept the drinks topped up, got the food order right. One of our party was delayed in arriving, but he kept everyone else with drinks in hand and a starter to kept the rest from being "hangry". Thank you for a good evening out!

    it was quiet in the restaurant, however it was at 12 pm on a Sunday and the church crowd was rolling in as we left. The vegetarian in our party was a little disappointed with their berger, but there were other options available.

    The staff was very pleasant and we have never had that level of attentiveness in a restaurant before. DAVE was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I really enjoyed his humour. Where we sat we were able to converse easily with each other and not get distracted by anything around us, not even the television sets. That was a lovely surprise. We will be returning, for sure!! (Only if we can have DAVE again, lol)

    Made reservations online. Got to restaurant and was told they lost all reservations due to computer error. |Wasn't offered any incentive to stay just told I could wait. Decided to wait and was seated in about 15-20 minutes. At time of order I asked for the sirloin and was told sorry we're out. How can you be out of sirloin at 6 pm ??? So I tried the carved steak. Waited awhile, then out comes dinner. My family were served and I was told they dropped my steak on the way out. my steak arrived about 10 minutes later, way too much pepper, it was so thick I had to scrape it off, my baked potato was cold and the inside was hard. My sister also had a cold baked potato and the inside was also hard. She sent hers back, by the time I got mine I couldn't be bothered as my family were already done their dinners. I just didn't eat it. I only came to Montana's because I wanted a sirloin steak, and to be out of steak at 6 pm is really poor planning. I am very disappointed
