a menu for specials on a table

On Grand Central Avenue in the summer is an event in itself, due to the summer vacationers in this small hamlet. This summer appears to be no different, only the majority of people are masked. Surprised as we were, the area and restaurant were quite crowded. The Oven, formerly Lavallette Pizza, relocated over the winter a few blocks north. We wanted a pizza and being in the area, ended up here to our delight. We had Pizza Capriosa, a large consisting of fresh tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms and prosciutto. Excellent. Parking is always tough in the summer. The meals range from $16-$22 and the pizzas range from $13-$22. Their salads appear to be very large judging what the servers carried outside. Heather, our server, is a college student at BU and was very amenable.

Well, I RARELY give "One Star" but The Oven is getting one here. We went here for a quick dinner before going to The Music Man. The Oven is nicer inside then a regular pizzeria. The food was average but our service was below average. The waitress was pleasant but she appeared to be either overworked, new at this job or both. She erroneously ordered a Tossed Salad for me when I asked for the Salad Wedge. She came back afterward & asked me again what I wanted because she didn't think it was anywhere on the menu (it was). My wife's Chicken Caesar salad was missing chicken, and my daughter ordered the simplest thing at a pizzeria (a plain slice) and that came out considerably later than the rest of our food. At the end, I apparently was over-billed ($6.50) for a "Tossed Salad". I only realized it later that night when I began this post. Do I go back and ask for my 6.50+ tax? I don't think I'm going to do that. Advice to customers: Double check your bill.

Friday night enjoying the beach house with family and what a beautiful day. Getting hungry so finding a pizza place on yelp. Every thing close has 3 stars or less so oh well, it is what it is. Ordered from the Oven which had good pictures on the web site. Sorry to say the pictures were the best thing. I know its busy being late June but the pie just not favorable. I ordered a large plain, a large pepperoni-sausage-mushroom pie. The crust on both were burnt and on the thick side. No where near enough cheese and the sauce was just average. I also ordered an antipasto salad with hot peppers. The meat was minimum and the hot peppers smothered the dish. Also ordered was Chicken Francaise which lacked lemon and had a bland taste. Total bill was $70. I must say the staff was very pleasant though. All in all just another pizza place.

The place is a sh-t show. They have no clue what's going on and I feel they make the prices up as they go. Not what they used to be

Really, really bad. Clearly, no pride is taken into making their food or running this place.

Our first night on our short weekend getaway and we didn't want anything fancy. Luckily we found…read moreMonte's Cafe and some absolutely fantastic food! Started with chips and salsa - made on-site and they also brought us three sauces, also made on-site - a jalapeño sauce, a red sauce and a tomatillo sauce. 100% recommend-all were delicious. We decided to split our meals and ordered a chicken burrito and the shrimp quesadillas. The burrito was very tasty, with what seemed like freshly made refried beans and delicious chicken. A little too much rice for me, I would have preferred less rice and maybe some grilled onions and peppers. The shrimp quesadillas were NOT what we expected. The shell seemed almost flash fried and in addition to the shrimp it had lettuce and melted manchego cheese. It was really, REALLY good. Service was great and we weren't rushed. There were four other tables filled while we were there and three of them were speaking Spanish which made me feel like we chose the right place. Seriously, I felt like the food here was made someone who'd been cooking like this for decades. A very cool little restaurant that I cannot recommend enough! Great food, great service, and a great location. (Sorry, forgot to take pics here)

Montes cafe is easily the best Mexican restaurant in the area for my liking…read more The service is always good. Whether we dine-in or take-out we never have any issues. The restaurant itself is a good size with roughly 12 tables. It always appears to be clean and well kept. Their birria is my favorite. I've had the pizza (for 2), the tacos and the quesadilla, all always delish. My wife typically orders the mushroom quesadilla which are really nice and fresh. We enjoy Monte's and you would too.
