Have been wanting to check this place out for a while, so I was looking forward to meeting with…read morefriends here! Walked in from the back into the patio, and noted a cute red car outside, & a nice fountain in the patio. Patio space seemed much bigger in person than from pics. You order & pay at the counter & they deliver the food to you. Very friendly staff, & when I said I had food allergies, he promptly put it in the order, which I appreciated. There's plenty of wine here, clearly a key selling point here! A nice variety on the breakfast and lunch menus. Decided to try their French Toast, and made it a combo with bacon & eggs. Very well presented, and the French toast tasted delicious, like a fluffy bread version of pancakes! My friends ordered an Eggs Benedict & omelet. A pleasant place for a nice breakfast or brunch! Only thing that bugged me was that there were a lot of emergency vehicles going by with very loud sirens. Made it difficult to talk over the sirens...then realized the patio wasn't enclosed in glass, lol. Will sit inside next time!!

Cute cafe with both indoor and covered patio seating. The downside is their menu is pricey for what…read moreyou get. I ordered the pesto panini (pesto, mozzarella, and tomato), which came out to over $17 for a simple sandwich with no sides ($4 more if you add chicken). Don't get me wrong - the panini was good, but it was definitely overpriced for what it was. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it.

While I stick to Costco and Trader Joe's for most of the Italian basics, Claro's is where I come for the next level stuff, and the prices are very reasonable. Risotto rice! Calabrian chilies! Guanciale!!!! The meat deli is amazing. Kobe roast beef!!! You can even sample their stuff too before you get it. Service is super friendly and helpful. Sandwiches are delicious. Get them all, build your own... Haven't tried the hot food bar, but that's my next stop. I'm never disappointed.

Definitely hard to choose but we settled with Angry Joe and Grandma Gerry.

Will definitely visit again to try more sandwiches!!

Nothing says…read morecustomer service like going out of your way to make it right for your customers and Henry did just that. We went back today and the food was delicious. This time my husband got the Granada which was recommended to us by Henry and I got my usual Legendary. Both sandwiches were packed with meat/ chicken and on top of that they both came out hot and ready to devour. The bread was succulent and a good amount of mayo and ketchup was added. All in all this is the experience we had been wanting to have and I'm so glad we went back. Thank you to Henry, again, for going out of his way to make us feel welcomed and well attended. He was happy to have us back and we felt very appreciated as customers. Can't wait to come back and try other sandwiches!

I've been to Monty's twice now. First time was a great experience. I believe the owner was there…read moreand he seemed very passionate about the menu and ingredients they used. However, I went for a second time yesterday and was deeply disappointed. The owner wasn't there and instead a younger girl took my order and prepared the food. Everything seemed well and fine until I got home, opened my patty melt and found not 1 but 2 long hairs in my sandwich! They were clearly her hairs since she was the only one who handled my food. I went back and returned everything. I didn't see a hair in my other sandwich but couldn't even eat it without thinking what could be in each bite. The same girl was there when I returned and a young guy. I spoke with the guy and he gave me a refund right away and apologized. The girl who had made my food was maybe 5 feet away and couldn't even turn around to look at me or apologize. Very disappointing since the owner seemed like a nice guy who probably works extremely hard to build and maintain his business, only to have it ruined by some employee who couldn't even care enough to take 5 sec to put on a hair net. Shame on her.
