We have ate at montage several times over the years! We have always had exceptional food, and service! This place is truly a gem in Cedar Falls! Their pinon, crusted fish is amazing and their hasbrown casserole! I highly recommend it! read more

Steaks were RAW- ordered M.R. Both cold and RAW in the middle. Was asked by the waitress if he wanted the steak put back on the grill at the end of the dinner when we were all finished. Sides are ridiculously small in size. One side per entree. Skip this place, it is past its prime. We will sadly not be returning. read more

First time in Cedar Falls (gorgeous town) and first time at Montage (I'd return). The service was above and beyond; they were knowledge of their menu and provided great recommendations and service, of course. The Beef Tenderloin Filet was unlike any other steak I've eaten before. The apps were all great too (goat cheese, beef patties, crab cakes, Philly cheese flatbread, shrimp cocktail). I had one Old Fashioned and it was perfect, sweet and savory! This is the place if you're looking for a consistent good (according to the locals) meal and moody atmosphere. read more

This is a super gem in downtown CF. Love the bacon appetizer. The steaks and fish entrees are all great and the pasta entrees are an unexpected surprise. The service has always been friendly. read more

Superior food, ambience suitable for romance to friends to business. Excellent drink menu. Always excellent service.

We ate at Montage our last night in Cedar Falls and it was worth the wait! If the weather is nice, dine outside on the rooftop. You can over look part of Main Street while the sun sets and the strings of Edison lightbulbs pop on around the tables. The service is *top notch*, and the same can be said of the cocktails, food, and desserts. The ingredients are fresh across the board, expertly prepared and elegantly plated. Great vegetarian options, family friendly but also great for date night. read more

Atmosphere is relaxing and modern. Service is fantastic. Menu offers great mix of food and everything I tried in 2 visits was delicious. The 5 others I traveled with said the same. Bar drinks pretty good too. Remind them no water in old fashioned! Definitely would return if ever in area again. read more

Well this has to be our 5th or 10th year here for the annual Heartland Conference. As usual Montage Crew you knocked it out of the park. Our server and food were impressive as usual. If I lived here I would dine here regularly. Thank you Montage team... read more

Hello Montage is avery nice place downtown Cedar Falls, IA. If you have not been downtown you should! All kinds of cute and trendy places, with a mix of college bars!! Montage has just about anything you want. I had a Spicy Tuna tartar for an appetizer. Yummy. And did the Pork Chop for dinner. All was very good, but just disappointed in the chops seasonings! I felt it lacked. It could be just me, as i like bold seasonings with my pork! Service was great and my vodka tonic as well. Go check it out! I will be back to try more!! I do want to give them 5 stars! read more

I ordered a $150 gift card to be sent in the mail. The recipient received a notice that it could not be delivered because there wasn't enough postage on the envelope. When I called Montage to notify them, they were less than concerned that this had happened. If you are going to offer a service, and that service is not completed as advertised, you need to take responsibility for your failure. read more

This was my first time here and it will definitely not be the last. The atmosphere was quite nice with modern decorations and slightly dimmed lighting. The noise level was low and it was very easy to carry on a conversation. The food was outstanding, from the ahi tuna appetizers to the seafood main dish to the s'mores dessert, there was nothing not to like. Our server was prompt and attentive and the overall experience is positive. I would absolutely 100% recommend. read more

We were told this place was good for steaks. Ehhh... wouldn't recommend. No sauce on them or seasoning. Extremely dry. The kids pasta was really good, but can't recommend the steaks. Our service was good! read more

I love this place! They have a sperate gluten free and vegan menu and really work with you when it comes to food allergies. Some of the food was a little bland due to having allergies but it just means I need to have something else on the menu because my sister's food had so much flavor. The wait staff was very attentive and had a lot of knowledge on where to direct us when it came to the food and what we could and could not have. And was willing to double check with the chef if they did not know the answer to something. I also felt like I was being rushed out the door after we said we did not need a second round of drinks. Which was really weird since we were not close to closing and they were not that busy read more

Montage is located in the downtown section of Cedar Falls, Iowa. It's dimly lit, and the upstairs seating is usually for reserved groups. Service is excellent. The fresh tuna appetizers were fantastic. The main entree ordered was the Firecracker pasta. This has a major bite, not for the weak hearted. What an excellent find for a group meeting dinner in downtown Cedar Falls. read more

Came here on October 13 & it was perfect. My wife had cashew crusted chicken & I had cashew crusted white fish. Both entrees were absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this establishment! read more

Went here to get seafood while visiting UNI. The twice baked potatoes were delicious, the fish not so much. Husband and I each got the whitefish, prepared two different ways. Drinks were good, server super attentive and kind. My son got sick to his stomach halfway through his pasta dish. read more

We sat up on the roof, a group of 6 of us after a long work day and had a great time here. There was a mixed reaction for the food so the rating was a mix between a 3-4 stars but the roof setting and the S'mores Ice Cream Cake helped me to settle on the 4 stars. However, the salmon was a little over cooked and others had mixed emotions about their plates so overall it was a so so dining experience. read more

We went here on a double date night with my sister and her husband. The restaurant is nice - a little on the fancy side, but I was okay in my jeans (since that's all I brought to IA). Our waiter was excellent, professional, yet personable; he made our time enjoyable. All the food was good - especially the creme brulee (they even had a pumpkin creme brulee), though my absolute favorite was the risotto (I think it was with goat cheese), I could have eaten that all night. If I lived closer, I'd definitely go back for a nice date night. read more

Consistently great food and service. Impressive wine list. A great place to celebrate or just for a nice night out.

A staple in Cedar Falls!! Always great food and service! Great selection in wine if you are into that. Tuna appetizer is my favorite! 4 stars due to not great seating options. Was placed upstairs in a small room. read more

The Montage menu appeared to be a step above ordinary and I wasn't disappointed. The evening special of pumpkin and scallops with bacon over spinach artichoke fettuccine with toasted pumpkins seeds was excellent. So happy to have experienced the chef's creation. read more

The best restaurant in the area, in my opinion, exquisite, with fantastic people always happy to help you, and the food is amazing.

Ambiance is amazing and the service was awesome. They had indoor and outdoor options for seating. The decor was very elegant, the outdoor seating was actually on top of the roof, kind of balcony setting. It was absolutely gorgeous. I wasn't ecstatic about the food. The food display is amazing, but it lacked flavor. The parmesan crusted potatoes were pretty good after adding a little salt, the chicken with the potatoes were pretty tender as well. The grouper was okay but lacked flavor big time. I was really disappointed with the chocolate souffle . It tasted like semi sweet chocolate chips. It lacked that rich flavor in chocolate that you look for. Overall, I feel that the price is really towards the service and ambiance. Maybe their come back items are in the appetizers and pasta. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Romantic! Our server was well educated and made great recommendations.

We met here for supper after a day of brewery fun. Great service in our own private room for our group of 15! Very accommodating. The goat cheese bread was a great appetizer and the mushrooms were awesome. I couldn't decide what to have-had mmmm yummy bacon wrapped scallops and goat cheese spinach salad. Light but filling. My hubby had salmon with a side of Parmesan mashed potatoes. It was cooked perfectly. My ice tea was not very flavorful. A nice place for a nice dinner. It's a bit on the pricey side. read more

My favorite restaurant in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area! Great dishes from chicken to pasta and even some great seafood options! Good wine selection adds to the great fine dining experience. Love this place! read more

Our server was perfect. She worked through all the unique requests! Food was outstanding Gluten free food for days! Outstanding experience and food! read more

Ownership has changed and the prices skyrocketed after Covid. The menu switched and some items are no longer available perhaps for proprietary reasons. The drinks were outrageously high priced, and it was jus an all around off night for my dining at what used to be a pleasant fine dining dinner spot when I get back here. I was most recently here at Christmastime and the place was nearly empty the entire evening. You may even be sticker shocked by menu prices, especially for beef. Now the Fellows who own Montage are branching out with a French patisserie across the street. I hope they recognize such a narrowly specific shop won't be well received if they price too steeply. read more

Hands down the best upscale restaurant in the area. The menu offers many excellent choices including some great seasonal favorites (pumpkin squash pasta!!) and a fine selection of wines. The more casual lounge area at the top of the steps is gray for small group parties. read more

We love Montage! The food and ambiance are amazing and the hosts treat us like family!

Montage is what I referred to as the fancy place in Cedar Falls Iowa. High end service and atmosphere with an amazing wine menu. Dinning is highlighted with top end quality ingredients. This is not a place that serves food they are restaurants which is the highest compliment I can give any place. Expect to come in, enjoy your companionship time, dine well, and feel rested when you leave. Great place for a date night or business meal. read more

Good food but kind of pricey. Service was friendly and helpful. Parking sometimes isn't the most convenient

The food is excellent. Service was great. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant.

Montage (& the Cedar Falls Brown Bottle - same owners) is our family's FAVORITE restaurants in the Cedar Valley. Fresh & delicious homemade food! The atmosphere is wonderful, in addition to having an awesome patio. Servers are all amazing! You can tell the owner's strive for top quality food, atmosphere & service. BONUS they Montage has vegan options. Lots of vegetarian & gluten free options as well! We come to one of these places nearly every time we go out for dinner. Thank you Jim & Jodi Landau for having these two amazing restaurants in Cedar Falls. read more

Ten years ago I lived in the area and frequently visited Montage. Often, when I returned to the area I would dine at the restaurant and enjoy my favorite dish, raspberry chipotle. I recently returned and found the restaurant was under new management and the menu no longer included my favorite dish. The ambiance was similar, the service was okay even though the server spilled the soup onto the table. The mushroom appetizer missed the mark. Baking them with cheese and a little butter left them dry and unsatisfying. The soup was warm but not hot. The zuppa was tasty though. The dishes we ordered were boarder line poor. I had the fireworks pasta with chicken and spinach fettuccine. I like very spicy food and found the dish had heat. It lacked flavor though. Another dish I tried was the blackberry salmon. The seeds from the berries were annoying and the salmon was over cooked and dry. The glasses for mixed drinks were aesthetically interesting but took time to get use to due to the offset rim. The first few times I put the glass down I felt like I was going to spill the drink due to the design. We did not order desert. For a person that fasts and enjoys one meal a day, I feel I could have been more satisfied elsewhere. Sadly, Montage has lost some luster since its peak. read more

The only decent restaurant in the Cedar Valley, period. The often do weird concoctions of fruit w savory dishes, but I usually stick to my usuals of pignoli-encrusted something, skewers, Asian slaw. Their drinks are great and their upstairs room and terrace are the best areas, depending of the season: : cozy (next to the fireplace), in the winter, or airy and breezy in the summer. Service is usually good too.. read more

"Special" of the night lamb gnocchi. Not good. Cold. Had the waiter take it away, barely touched, and they still insisted on charging me the full price ($36). read more

Great fine dining experience in Cedar Falls. The sirloin had a great char and was still juicy, and the whipped sweet potatoes were a great blend of sweet with a light spice. We had a reservation for 9, which was good for us because the restaurant started clearing out and getting quieter on a Friday night. The space is well designed with an upscale vibe. read more

Wowza! This place is FANTASTIC! Allen college hosted our grad dinner here and I am bringing my hubby back!! Huge wine and cocktail menu, scrumptious entrees, and sophisticated feels... definitely fine-dining. I enjoyed the salmon with montage signature mashed potatoes (yummm!) And a dinner roll. I also enjoyed a dry Italian red wine (I know whites are better with seafood) but the red was divine! The waitstaff was very attentive and timely toward our large group...this making the entire experience excellent! read more
