Montrio Bistro Monterey Reviews from The Last Year
Expensive but worth it.
Every time I come here it's such great food!!!! The ambiance and staff are great ....as a local this is a spot I will always go to!
I take my mom here every so often.
The food is very good and the price is higher-end but reasonable. The decor is nice and it's a generally comfortable place. The service, however, is not the best. "Condescending" comes to mind. I can make my way through much more exotic menus and I have a decent competency in wine, but my mom likes things explained, which perhaps is the issue. Maybe their recent reviews have gone to their heads but I don't go into a place like this to be treated like a farmer straight off the turnip truck.

Went in to check out the Happy hour/Dinner from a suggestion from my huge foodie group. What a horrible experience, first we sit at the bar and this bartender with blue hair is completely overwhelmed with 2 people sitting at the bar and maybe a server asking for a few drinks. We could hear her complaining about management. So we order 2 Vodka tonics with a splash of cranberry. The bartender tells us she can't make those drinks because she does not have "Well Vodka" so she says "I can only go by my computer for "well drinks " it says Rum or tequila. So we ordered 2 tequila sunrises and she puts tequila on ice and walks away? So we are waiting for 2-5min with these 2 cups of tequila and ice in front of us. So we leave. What a weirdo restaurant. The bartender made a point to tell us this Happy hour is ending soon and that it's been a nightmare because the management does not give her the information she needs to do her job. I will let my foodie group this is definitely a pass when in Monterey!! Please give her some vodka WTF?

Service was excellent, the atmosphere is spectacular and the food is phenomenal. If you don't get the Budino for dessert you will regret it for the rest of your life. This is our first time here...... it won't be our last.

It's a nice environment with an elegant setting, and the food is good, but don't plan on making it a regular place because the menu can get stale
Food was okay.
Not worth the wait. Staff was friendly. They sat us outside. Next to a dumpster. They never brought our drinks and still tried charging us for them. The manager was no where to be found. Never again.

As a local this is one of my favorite restaurants!! The scallops are to die for. The service is fantastic with the kindest people working there. The first time I ate there was after the renovation and it looks great. Can't recommend this place enough.
Incredible.
Our server (I can't remember his name) was so fun and charismatic; passionate people truly do make the dining experience more enjoyable. The owner was also there helping out and hosting. Wonderful lady! The food was delicious. The cocktails were on point. We tried a little of everything and all of it was perfection. Highly recommend any of the steaks and the scallops. Thank you, Montrio, for a beautiful meal across the board!
My wife and I stopped by on a Thursday night right at 4:30
My wife and I stopped by on a Thursday night right at 4:30 when they're starting their open. The bar is the only spot available for service between 4:30-5 as the rest of the kitchen and restaurant are still getting up and running. Fabio, the bartender, was excellent. He's super knowledgeable about each cocktail and was a wealth of knowledge around all things mixology. The special 1890 cocktail was called Agua de Flores which really reminds me of a riff on an Aperol spritz but the base is a hibiscus syrup which reminds me of Agua de Jamaica which I'm a big fan of. It was just the right balance of tart, tangy, and sweet. A beautifully crafted cocktail and a STEAL at $1.89. Yes, you read that right. Less than 2 bucks! We also tried a Pistachio Horchata cocktail which was also "good" but not amazing in my opinion ($10 during happy hour). A bit too sweet for my liking but still an objectively good cocktail. The 1890 featured appetizer was a Housemade Shrimp Eggroll. The outside shell was super light and crispy, almost TOO crispy, but the shrimp inside was still tender and not over cooked. The orange sauce that is drizzled on it is awesome. Some sort of mayo based aioli. Multiple guests asked for more of the sauce to add to their other appetizers because it was so good. The Braised Short Rib Sliders were EXCELLENT. The brioche bun is fresh, soft, light, and airy, while still having a good chew to it. The meat itself was juicy and tender and the slaw added that needed touch of acidity to balance out the richness. The mussels and frittes (yes, fries), were solid and the broth they were in was decadent. The mussels were tender and melted in your mouth which I really applaud because so many places overcook them and turn them into little balls of rubber. Putting the fries on top of the dish may make for a nice presentation but is an odd choice because they'll inadvertently get soggy from the steam coming up from the mussel broth. They'd be better presented on the side in one of those small serving cups. For dessert, we tried the bread pudding which was on top of a rich butterscotch sauce with shaved white chocolate and served with a scoop of passion fruit ice cream on top. I initially scoffed at a bread pudding being served at a "higher end" restaurant but I'm glad my wife decided to go with this dessert because I was thoroughly impressed. Soft and chewy at the center but those toasted / burnt edges on top added some nice texture contrast. The passion fruit ice cream was a great compliment to how rich the pudding and sauce were and it was also nice on its own. Montrio bistro is truly too notch from service, ambience, and food and I'm excited to come again soon.
The Whole experience was weird.
My kids were treating me to a birthday dinner. We were there on 1/13/2024. We had no reservations but were seated quickly. Unfortunately, I don't have the names of anyone. Our server came - she seemed friendly enough at first. I asked her a question about the special fish - She said Salmon and I asked her how was it cooked. She said she would like the 3rd person of our party to come back (my son was using the restroom). So that she would not have to explain the process again. I said we could tell him when he came back and I was pretty sure he would not order the salmon. Anyway food-wise - my son ordered the Venison Osso Buco ( Which was pretty decent). My daughter ordered the Short ribs - which was also not bad. My salmon the so called special was just ok. The beans and spinach had a real tart taste but ok not bad. The salmon itself to me did not appear fresh - the flesh was not firm and kind of had a loose mushy texture. The appetizers - crab cakes also were just ok. The presentation was good with microgreens but it had an aftertaste of whatever oil they had fried it in. The beet salad had 4 pieces of mixed golden and red beets with micro greens. We also ordered a bottle of Malbec. Ok, it was not the most expensive wine but it was $50. Most Malbecs we have had are great. We took a sip of it and it tasted like Barnyard Manure. Literally, if we held our breath and did not exhale after sipping it - then we could swallow. We gave the benefit of the doubt and thought it required breathing. No change! So we called the server and said we did not like the wine. So she called the General Manager (GM). He politely heard our problem - swilled it around expertly took a sip and said the wine was tasting as intended - since it was an organic wine - it was heavy; had the taste of forest floor and had some other descriptions - which to me was just like sheep smell the barnyard smell. He suggested decanting it- which we did and it was as bad. THen they asked if we wanted something else but did not bother to bring the menu back. The server came and told us she loved that wine - so I invited her to drink it after work because we did not want to touch it. We were so disgusted by this time we did not order dessert and even though they knew it was my birthday - they brought nothing out and to add insult to injury they did not take out the charge for the wine even though the entire decanted wine was on the table. It's not like we were consuming it. My kids were paying and they felt bad not to leave any tip. To me, the wine was my tip but they still left something. I can say this much - IT WAS NOT A FINE DINING EXPERIENCE. The server was friendly superficially but she was speaking slowly and showed her annoyance at us. On our way out the GM had the audacity to wish me a happy Birthday. WOW Never going back here. Go only if you like OK food at high prices and bad tasting MAlbecs.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been โmatchedโ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming โbotsโ and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement.

Also donโt pay these fake โgurusโ hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. ๐
