I came here with family a few weeks ago and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. It was a…read morecelebratory dinner and we ordered a bunch of things off the menu and everything tasted fresh and great. For starters, we tried a mushroom flatbread and soup. I liked that the flatbread was really flat and not doughy. The soup was also really creamy and tasty. The toddler enjoyed the meatballs that was one of the appetizers. For the mains, we tried the filet mignon, oven roasted sea bass, and cedar plank roasted salmon. All were good and tasted light and healthy. We also got a side of brussel sprouts and truffled risotto. The risotto was a bit too rich and creamy for my taste, but my family enjoyed it. We each ended the meal with our own little desserts. I like that they bring out a display of all of the desserts and everyone got to indulge in their own choices and not feel guilty :)

We had gone to Bancroft several years ago and really liked it. It is a splurge kind of place so we…read moredon't go that often. We went on New Year's Eve and boy was it great. I rarely give five stars but this place deserves it. The atmosphere was as it should be, a restaurant, not a New Year's Eve sports bar. It started off with great dinner rolls that you could eat a hundred of. We also had a nice house Canernet Sauvignon. Appetizer was a seafood tower (oysters, shrimp, lobster). A great start. My wife had a filet mignon and fries, I had a rib eye (I never have any other steak) and Brussels sprouts. Everything was absolutely delicious, an absolute riot of flavor. If I could change two things, I wish they had a bone-in ribeye and I would pass on the red wine salt. A little TOO salty. I topped it off with cappuccino. We skipped dessert as they would have had to roll us out of there. Price pre-tip- $245. Worth every penny. This a great steakhouse and loke I said, I almost never give five stars. Great job, folks.

Our friendly server, Eric, came and took our drink order and helpfully walked us through any questions we had about the menu. For appetizers, we ordered the buffalo shrimp and the jerk chicken fondue. The buffalo jumbo shrimp was fantastic, the four pieces were delightfully coated in buffalo sauce and laid on a good amount of blue cheese. The fondue was surprisingly large. It came with jerk chicken, broccoli, grapes, fried cauliflower, and garlic sourdough croutons. Definitely a crowd pleaser with a lot of textural diversity. For entrees, we ordered the braised short rib pappardelle and the filet mignon Cobb salad which I ordered with an add on of avocado (roughly a quarter of a large one). The Cobb salad was lovely with a great medium rare filet on top and had a variety of ingredients. The pappardelle had great braised beef in it and the tomatoes and pasta complimented it well. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the mall area.

My first visit, I had the rotisserie chicken with was excellent. Wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable. During my second visit I ordered a cheeseburger medium-well, the waitress repeated "medium-rare?", which I correct and said, "no medium-well", which she corrected on the order slip. Somehow the kitchen got it wrong and I ended up with a medium-rare burger, which kind of spoiled my evening. The fries, on the other hand were some of the best. The key lime pie was mouthwateringly delicious. My only complaint is one I have with most restaurants; they seem to assume that 'everybody' likes broccoli and asparagus, and they don't offer any alternatives, like green beans or corn. The bar area has TV's, which generally show whatever sporting event is on at the time, and are mostly visible from the tables in the seating area. There's ample on-street and lot parking right outside the entrance, including available HP parking

I don't understand some of the hate in the reviews. Looking for a nice restaurant while we were in…read morethe area, we almost passed on Tre Monte because of the negativity. However, the bartender at another place said that it would be the place he would go, and I've learned that the recommendation of a bartender is worth more than any amount of reviews on Yelp. We showed up just at opening, sans reservations, on a Saturday evening (12/7). There was already a line at the door, which is a good sign about the food, but we wondered if we would be able to get a table. The fear was unfounded, as the hostess graciously showed us to a table and dropped menus. Our server, Christina, took our drink order, and was very apologetic that they didn't have onions for Bestie's gibson. No worries - olives work just as well. She came back with our cocktails, recited the specials, and we asked her to give us time to enjoy our drinks; we'd flag her down when we were ready to order. The menu is a great selection of Italian cuisine, balanced with a few standards. We took our time with our cocktails (the martinis were perfect, by the way) and Christina came right over when asked her about wines. She apologized for us not having a wine list, and returned immediately with one (some excellent bottles in their cellar, and a great selection by the glass). Bestie decided right away on the Shrimp Gran Manier [sic], egg-battered shrimp in an orange-flavored sauce, as an appetizer. I fell in love with the Melazana, breaded eggplant with marinara and cheese, covered in a creamy pesto sauce. For entrees, I picked a simple sauteed chicken, covered with prosciutto and cheese, while the rack of lamb caught her fancy. Christina came right over when we were ready to order, and congratulated us on our choices. We were able to watch the kitchen as they worked. Both of us, having a lot of experience in the industry, marveled at how well the staff worked together in the tiny space. It wasn't long before our appetizers arrived, and they were as delicious as they sounded on the menu. As soon as Christina cleared the empty plates away, she returned immediately with our entrees (which we saw were plated just as she headed to the kitchen area). Bestie's lamb was perfect. She had a choice of two sides, and she picked an herbed polenta and grilled vegetables. I accompanied my chicken with a gratin of potatoes, and sauteed spinach with garlic. We took our obligatory pictures and dug in. Needless to say, there was no conversation while we ate, with the food taking all of our attention. Bestie's lamb was cooked perfectly, with a generous portion, My chicken was flavorful, with the right balance between the sauce and the meat (I have a love/hate relationship with cheese - I like a lot of it, but not when it overpowers what's under it). To finish things off, we ordered coffee and cannolis, something light to balance the richness of the dinner. Both were delicious. When it came time to settle our check, Christina was right over. I am so glad that we listened to the bartender and not the reviews. Our experience here was the highlight of our weekend in this area.
