Not sure why Monticello is so lowly rated but I had an incredible experience. Excellent customer service, great food, great vibes. From the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted and warmly welcomed. :) We went to the cigar bar because my hubby wanted to get a cigar and his steak and his old fashioned. We went on a Sunday so it was super chill. I believe the manager assisted us, Tony I believe. He was very kind and attentive. My hubby had been raving about this place for a while so I'm glad I tried it. Think a chill cigar bar with AH-MAZING FOOD! Like really good soul food. I was eyeing that Lobster Mac and Cheese ($33) I kid you not, the best lobster Mac and cheese in the world. They are not stingey on their portions at all. The freshest, well-seasoned huge piece of lobster tail on a well-toasted, rich but not too rich mac and cheese. Wow!! My husband got an old fashioned (I believe $8- it's not on the menu but that's a standard price for this drink) which he liked and of course his Ribeye ($35). Not only is the steak an incredible value but it is huge and some of the best Ribeye I've ever had! Juicy, well-seasoned and just so delicious! I did wish they had more variety in their drink menu which has a lot of sweet drinks and I wish their ventilation in the cigar lounge was better. Other than that, great experience and we'll definitely be back! I'm getting the Lobster Mac and those Coconut Grits next time. Such a hidden gem! You've got to come to Monticello!! :) read more

Monticello - Scrumptious Lobster Mac and Cheese + Old-Fashion - Seafood Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

I went here for women's comedy night. The show was good. They brought out about 5 comedians and the host was funny. The service was good, especially considering the amount of ppl that were there. We got our food pretty fast. I liked my macaroni ( needed a little salt and pepper but good) but the egg rolls were not that good to me. We were seated at a very small table of 4 with two other ppl that we didn't know. After the comedy show it turns into a night club and they played good music and had a nice ambiance. read more

Monticello - Macaroni and jerk chicken egg rolls - Seafood Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Monticello has a lot of potential, lots of TV's and a pretty cool vibe, the service was pretty good as well ....but the food was not good! We ordered the Jerk Egg rolls, and the firecracker shrimp, which were huge, but just didn't do it for me. The jerk eggrolls were very plain. I was expecting to catch a pepper or an onion or something, it was basically chunks of tasteless chicken breast roller up in a roll and deep fried, no flavor. The drinks were lacking and the tickets were high with random misc charges and adjustments, I decided not to question it. The Thursday nights comics were lacking humor for the most part, with the exception of the actual host from Montgomery( Shots out to The Gump).... I probably will not be back for a return visit. read more

I attended a comedy show at Monticello and it was great. I will recommend getting there a little earlier as there was not much seating. The place is packed and everyone enjoyed the show. I was informed they do comedy shows Thursdays through Saturdays if you're ever interested in going and having a good time. There are some parking spaces but valet parking was like $20 so bring cash. There was also additional places inside of the bar that you could go that were different areas. I ordered some food. It actually was a little more than I could handle but the food was good as well. I'll definitely be back to try again. read more

We come here occasionally on weekends for grown people vibes. Their Saturday DJ, Kan-D-Man hits right! They also a humidor and separate smoking area, including patio. This gets very live during NFL games. This visit, we ordered some small plates, specifically the salmon n chips and fire cracker shrimp. I enjoy both very much but will admit the sauce is spicier than what I like, but the food was so good I ate thru the heat lol. This is a good venue to bring friends and large groups to celebrate birthdays etc. Buffet on Fridays after work is good and it always turns into a good party with dancing. read more

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Parking was still easy for self park, but we weren't Even sure they were open. We ordered around 6:15 and got drinks quickly but food didn't come until about 7:20 - even though there were less than 5 tables. The food was great but I wouldn't rush back. Service was nice enough but why did the food take so long I'll never know read more

Customer at an all time low but why should they care with automatic gratuity.

Left and went up the street to a much better lounge...Kana Lounge. Nonetheless, I won't be back to this overpriced, overrated food and drinks establishment. Good day! read more

Came to watch the Super Bowl here and they have a lot of space. Parking is reasonably priced for valet in my opinion. The food was subpar honestly. It was a bit chaotic but I'm going to chuck that up to Super Bowl and a lot of people. The drinks were weak and not exactly what we asked for but again Super Bowl. Willing to try them out possibly on a slower day. read more

I visited the place for the first time for one of their concerts on a Friday night. It had the Atlanta typical club feel and one of host was from one of the Atlanta radio stations which was nice. He kept talking New York City which was a little annoying since he was in Atlanta. The food was good, but they were out of serval items on the menu. We felt the server for our area was not very friendly and welcoming. We had VIP tickets never the stage. The table was very small and rocked. These were small issues but the big problem for us was we waited over 2 hours for the concert to start and nothing. It was after midnight and no concert, so we left. It was of a night of wasted money. Customers do not have free money to give away to places. I would not go back to this place again. read more

The two stars is for the service which was quick, friendly and with a smile. Oh also the hookah that i actually got my money's worth for without needing a refill. But baby i came here to watch the championship games and i intended on eating and drinking good. Welp, that's where i went wrong. ~Ordered a peach crown slush. I was so excited to get this drink. My friends know i like all things peach. Also, I know Crown will get you together fairly quickly. I get this slush and tasted no crown. If you've had Peach crown you know it has a very distinct taste. There was no way there was any liquor in that drink, and i certainly was not about to run up a tab for something that still was watered down. I drank water for the rest of the night. My friend got another drink and still had to add a shot of liquor to it. ~I should have known the rest of the food would not be good when my friend let me taste her jerk chicken egg rolls. They were dry and tasted freezer burnt. And I'm sure they only had like two baby pieces of chicken in them. So i ordered the firecracker shrimp. You can't go wrong with shrimp right? Whomever came up with the bright idea to fry some shrimp, throw some ranch dressing and hot sauce on it and call it firecracker shrimp needs try again. We ended up leaving there and going somewhere else to get food. I won't make this mistake again. read more

Monticello - Party up...No Drama!! - Seafood Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

well well well, what have we here? Live band, good people all around from front/back side to side is the recipe for a good time! First time here, wall to wall people at 8:30pm on Friday night! PARKING LOT on full. Someone capitalized with an escape route from Pappadeaux waiting list and created a spot for their own around the corner. Then they invited everyone in line. Brilliant montiicello, I went there to met some family who were traveling and was quite surprised at the level of entertainment and fans they had inside the location. I gave it two stars because the heat and smoke were thick throughout the restroom area. To get smoke like that you have to have at least all fryers running nonstop. The food I saw mostly was fried and it took a while for your order to arrive because of how many previous orders were made. Im talking heat, hookah, and kitchen smoke all wrapped into one zig zag. No fans running, drinks that can't hold ice to satan, melted swiftly in the distance. Bottled warm beer was purchased from the bar, should have asked what was the coldest beer they had in the fridge but lesson learned. Overall, I would like to check it out again but I may have to get there early to get the best experience for dining, Cheers! read more

I've now been to Monticello's 3 times, and had 3 very different experiences. First time was a private party where we had a nice section near the dance floor, the service was decent and the food was great. The DJ was ok, the transitions between songs were awkward which lead many people off the dance floor. The second time was a fun night of dancing for the girls. The third time, I brought a group of friends to dance, paid a cover to get in to find that they were watching the football game??!!! This is a dance club, we left the sports bar we were at to come dance. When I inquired, they said we had to wait for the game to finish before they would play the music. They also told us we needed to buy a bottle to get a table. So we decided on champagne or Prosecco, they didn't have any, so we couldn't get a table?? read more

Came on a Friday night about 11pm the place was packed but bumping. I like the grown and sexy crowd. The music was bumping too. Didn't order food but the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc was delicious. read more

Monticello - Wine and Sex on the beach - Seafood Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

My first time visiting Monticello was on a Thursday for the comedy show. My fiance' and I arrived around 830pm and was able to find a parking spot in the parking lot but they do offer Valet. I RSVP'd for the comedy show at www.laughatl.com which allowed us to get in for free till 9pm. You have to be 21 and older to get in on Thursday night so they do ask for ID regardless of how old you look. The hostess was friendly and very accommodating. They told us all the tables were accounted for already but there were seats available near the stage for the comedy show, the young lady did see 1 table that someone changed their mind about and offered to seat us with the understanding that others would be seated there as well which we didn't mind. The bar was packed and the crowd was grown, it was a very mature crowd. The ambiance was laid back, filled with cigar smoke, and good ole music. There were women who came around several times asking if you was interested in purchasing a hookah. If the waitresses had the same drive as the hookah ladies I would have given this place 5 stars. We sat for 15 minutes or so waiting for someone to stop and ask if we wanted to order anything then finally one of the managers who was going around from table to table making sure every table was being taken care of, I told him No. The gentleman asked us what we wanted, took our orders and made sure we were taken care of for the remainder of the night. There is no drink menu. Not sure if it is because they don't feel the need to disclose drink prices or the plan is to make nothing but basic drinks. We ordered several Patron Margaritas and they were good. I ordered the seafood Cobb Salad with no bacon, they use mixed greens, the shrimp and crab meat tasted fresh, and it was so delicious. My fiance had the Salmon with Shrimp and it was scrumptious. The food prices were very reasonable and they give you a nice sized portion so you won't leave hungry. To our surprise Kindred The Family Soul performed before the comedy show. The performance was great and the audience sang along to every song. The comedy show started after the performance and we laughed the entire time. If you have not been to Monticello on a Thursday for comedy night you are missing out. read more

Got the slammin salon. Food was good although luke warm. Service was horrible. Our server was swamped so we remained patient and extended her some grace...But our patience ran thin when she was unapologetic and kept making excuses. She literally checked out on us...no more drinks, no do u need anything else...nothing! Came back to our table and said " y'all looking for me" On top of that instead of charging me 38.50 which was incorrect, she charged me $385. Finally was able to get a manager to fix it but that was like pulling teeth. NEVER AGAIN! Damn shame when other staff tell u that their servers are trash! read more

Monticello is a great place to meet with friends and date night. We spent the 4th long weekend in Atlanta and visited Monticello twice once for a comedy show and another for a concert. Now up front... there is a cigar lounge and hooka bar along with a restaurant and three full service bars so it can get smoky in there nevertheless the food was delicious, I was pleasantly surprise with the variety on the menu and the drinks were reasonable. The comedy show was good considering it's was just locals comedians and the concert was head lined by an old school rapper "Mystikal" which was good also good. The service was exceptional, accommodating and friendly, the atmosphere was really, really pleasant and festive overall just a great weekend. read more

Monticello - Seafood Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

Great spot. They have live concerts on weekends and the food is amazing. Columbus is an amazing bartender.

Who wouldn't enjoy a social atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy your company plus good food. I thought I was passing through the area when I had some mechanical issues. That caused a delay. So I pulled out my trusty Rolodex a.k.a. iPhone and check for friends in the neighborhood. I came across some old navy buddies from 20 years ago. After a short conversation they brought me out to meet them at Monticello 's. Boy was that a treat. It was great to see them with the atmosphere in Monticello's being extraordinary. We was watching the NFC and AFC title match ups. There was plenty of seating and many different areas to indulge in. Like the cigar lounge, the hookah lounge, outdoor seating or the non-smoker lounge. Nevertheless the food and drinks came from the kitchen and the bar. Waiters and waitresses was everywhere and quite busy. They had a Buffay table that they kept enticing goodies for our snacking enjoyment during the game. This particular night they had a DJ that played all the old-school R&B and hip-hop music during commercials and halftime show. A few dances broke out here and there in between also. If you were heavy into your conversation the DJ also yelled out touchdown or interception just to keep you in the loop. My friends and I initially started in the non-smokers lounge just watching the game catching up and having a few drinks. By halftime we checked out the hookah lounge and the place was packed. So we retreated to the regular nonsmoking lounge and we ordered the main course ( grilled Ribeye's with sautéed creamy spinach and chunky mashed potatoes) so good. By the second game we moved into the cigar lounge but prior to that we walked into the walk-in humidor picked out a few sticks a.k.a. stogies and proceeded into the cigar lounge. Enjoyed the game with sticks and more good conversation after all we haven't seen each other 20 years. We all enjoyed ourselves and agreed to return to Monticello's :) read more

My friends and I hung out here on the patio for Cinco De Mayo. The frozen crown peach drinks were delicious. I ordered the stuffed turkey leg to go. I got the one with the dirty rice and gravy. The rice was nasty. No seasoning, and the meat inside it was bland. There was no gravy. The turkey leg was salty and wasn't tender at all. Th Turkey leg wasn't stuffed with anything at all. It was served on the side. False advertising, much?! I would never eat here again. I'll stick to drinks and vibe to the music. read more

The #1 place in Cobb County to enjoy a night out to meet people, enjoy live entertainment, and have a great date night. The food is delicious and the service is great especially for a club/restaurant. They have 3 different rooms to enjoy and a panoramic patio. Besides great drinks they have hookah and occasional concerts too read more

Overall a tomato, tomato experience. The comedians that night were more focused on promoting upcoming shows or books than actually doing a comedy show. #FreeForAReason I had the pina colada and Mac n cheese, and was pretty subpar for Atlanta read more

My rating is more so based off communication surrounding method of payment because the environment and food was GOOOOODDD!!. To begin, my husband and I went for Thursday night comedy. I ordered the slammin Salmon was way delicious, one of the best actually, and I will definitely order again. The firecracker shrimp was tasty as well. However, the server was not very friendly. Additionally they DO NOT ACCEPT MASTERCARD OR DISCOVER which we did not know until time to pay!! Another couple was in the same predicament and not too pleased. Now, the cigar lounge was great! The guy working there was very kind and helpful! He is definitely an asset to the facility and the cigars were pretty good! The live band was also nice! The cigar and lounge side was definitely a vibe! Will definitely return this this establishment! read more

I was so excited to try this establishment after hearing such great things. Unfortunately, It did not live up to the hype. It is spacious with multiple components from a sports bar, to a cigar lounge, to an entertainment area. We ordered food, drinks, and a hookah. The wait staff is mediocre at best, the hookah was awful, and the food was not impressive. The hookah was weak and the coals weren't lit well. We asked for it be changed 3 times before having it removed from the bill. They seemed bothered that we were unhappy. This was an interesting experience. I don't think I'll be going back. read more

I haven't eaten here but had a great experience at the bar and overall ambiance. I would come back and possibly try something on their menu as it seems ppl really enjoyed the crab leg buffet. read more

Let's start with my initial experience The parking lot and police . Extra small and rude parking attendants . So after $40 we get in. Cigar portion doors should stay closed so the smell and smoke doesn't hit you if that's not where you are going By 9 pm all seats and tables were reserved and taken even though they were empty . Piss poor management of seating. They need to hire a logistical engineer . I have never in my 53 years seen reserved empty seats around a bar when you have paying customers who want to spend money Can't tell you about the food because no one never took our order . Drinks were weak Won't be back read more

Not sure how I feel about this place...stood in line at around 11pm on a Saturday. Got to the register and mentioned we had sent an inquiry yesterday and got an email today to get a table (and called multiple times) when we got here they did not have any tables available and the non-minority lady (who made sure to mention it was her birthday 4 times in the conversation) was very rude and stated that they did not reply because they are busy! She proceeded to argue and made some very rude comments. Just extremely rude. I was the financial controller for a company that owns 13 black owned businesses in Houston (bars, clubs and restaurants) and she was beyond rude, terrible customer service. Just for that interaction I give zero stars. The waitress who helped us was fantastic (Jasmine). She gets 5 stars!!!!! There is definitely no dress code. Some people were dressed up (like us who just came from a 5 star restaurant) and there were people in tennis shoes and sweats, super casual, pants sagging below their ass. Definitely not an upscale place. The dj was decent. It was super crowded and took forever for the drinks but that is not the waitress's fault. Hookah was good but the girl came and asked us what we would like and the first 2 selections she said she didn't have..:so we asked what DO you have. So maybe start with what you have available so we don't waste each other's time. read more

If you come for the comedy show on Friday, please go to the Cigar Room or the third room because they start an hour late here. The good news is you can get some dried out crab legs from the buffet before 8! The host is probably worse than my drunk Uncle at the family reunion. Give a boy a mic and he thinks he's the CEO of the comedy scene- he's corny on a white girl wasted night level. Meanwhile had jokes about gays and how terrible of people they are. Service was slow as the bartender was too busy conversing with a 'regular' and smoking her hookah while on her phone. However our server Sam was AWESOME! I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini (after 6 waitresses passed me on their phones) and was told to "please hold" because they had to go to the liquor store because they didn't have triple sec. The last time I checked, a Lemon Drop was made with simple syrup NOT triple sec! Bartenders on their phones, men in black claiming to be security and someone's head of the Deacon Board at First Baptist is at the door talking about a winter hat is athletic gear! I should have stayed at home!!! read more

I went last night (on a Saturday @7:30) to celebrate with family, there were 8 of us. We reserved 2 tables that came with 2 appetizer platters & a bottle of champagne. Having dinner before the party crowd came definitely helped the food/drinks and service experience. Parking: (Pro) I was prepared to valet but found a free spot on the side of the building. (Con) My cousin got there early & no valet came to their car. They had to go inside (upstairs) to find someone. Valet was sitting in a truck & didn't see them. (Excellence Gap) highlight parking experience on website and ensure valet staff is visible & vigilant. Attire: (Pro) I got in and was dressed within the guidelines. (Con) I looked for the dress code before coming and didn't see it on their website. There was a dress code sign by the entrance of the door. I saw a couple turned away for wearing athletic gear. (Excellence Gap) highlight the dress code on website. Food & drinks: (Pro) The food was excellent (taste), hot (temperature) and came out fast. We had 2 sampler platters that came with our reserved table. The platters had perfectly fried egg rolls, wings, cat fish nuggets & shrimp; not greasy. The table ordered lobster mac & cheese, slammin salmon & firecracker shrimp. Drinks were great! (Con) Champagne was a $10 bottle of grocery store Rose'. (Excellence Gap) the owner/management must take control and response to their yelp reviews, their reputation is suffering. State that reserve tables come with a bottle of Rose's wine. Service: (Pro) waitress & staff was attentive, timely & personable before 10:30PM. (Con) around 10:30PM the crowd got extremely large and service got understandably slower. Also, they charged gratuity twice. We had to wait 30 minutes for a manager to fix the problem and 2-3 days for funds to appear back in account. (Excellence Gap) staffing model should be able to scale up & down depending on size of crowd & adjust to needs. "Reserve" table patrons should have same level of service the entire night. Music: (Pro) DJ is excellent! read more

I scheduled a bday party for my son for a party of 8, but of course more people decided to attended. Rhete seemed to mis-communication between the organizer & the waitress and my guest were stuck in the middle. The way the waitress, the event organizer, and manager handled this situation was very rude & unprofessional (the party organizer even cursed at my party)!! My guest included medical and business professionals that I assure you will never revisit this restaurant. I emailed someone to give me a call in reference to our experience..Nothing! If you want to impress some any of your professional / business clients or family, skip this Sports Bar! AVOID! read more
