The number one thing anyone should look at in a restaurant is food. Sure, ambiance and service are extremely important as well but there is no denying that the food is top notch at Montego's. I've been to this place a number of times and noticed that they have changed their menu up a bit and has a great selection for foodies and picky eaters alike.
A personal suggestion would be to order any one of the flat breads. It acts as the perfect appetizer to share with a small group of friends while also standing as a strong main course dish. Unlike many restaurants who serve sad, limp flat breads or any other pizza-like dish, Montego's flat breads are crisp and packed with flavor. It is clear that the chef knows what he is doing and it is refreshing. And the talent doesn't stop at the flat breads. I don't typically order burgers when I go out but I heard from a friend that the burgers at Montego's were killer so, naturally, I had to see for myself. There are some options to add a few ingredients to your liking, such as bacon, grilled onions, bleu cheese, etc. so I decided to do so. The burger was so well cooked and was just the right size. Some places smother you with a burger twice the size of your head but Montego's offered me a burger that was filling and flavorful. Although I did add a few extra ingredients, it was unnecessary. The burger was just good.
I could go on and on about their ceviche but just do yourself a favor and order it. Lemony with a slight kick and served with homemade tortilla chips. Can't go wrong. Same goes for any dish with a candied pecan. The chef personally told me that he adds cayenne pepper when he makes them. Just stellar. Always trust a restaurant where the chef checks on each table personally. (His name is Adrian by the way).
Finally, for desserts, I am just in love with the dulce de leche cheesecake they have on the menu. I had it for the first time the other night and after the first bite, I wished I hadn't said I would share with my friends. And I know I said that food comes first when judging a restaurant but the plating on this dish, as all the others, was just delightful. We eat with our eyes first and Montego's makes sure to plate their dishes with style.
In case it wasn't clear, I truly enjoy to food at Montego's and highly recommend that you head over there and try for yourself.
Very good tasty food and great drinks!
We have been there twice. The first time we had the burger sliders and salmon for dinner. The salmon was great. The sliders were so phenomenal we went back the following week so i could order a full size burger. It didn't disappoint. Also the mojitos were great. We went early before the band showed up, but i imagine it would be great entertainment. I also love the tommy bahama theme furniture and decor.
Had the pleasure of having dinner here this past Saturday evening... Â Later that evening a band named "Family Style" would tear the roof off the place. Â Excellent, excellent band. Â If they dont get you on the dance floor, something is very seriously wrong with you....
The food was very well presented to the eye and smell. Â I had beef slider, and angle hair pasta....Being someone that loves to cook, the pasta was ok... The sliders and ahi tuna was very well presented and smells as good as it looks and tasted well. Â I truly do not remeber our servers name, but she gave excellent, excellent customer service. Â As dinner time ends, the band begins to set up.... By the time your done with dinner, order another cocktail and get ready to get your groove on.... My only wish for this place is they become more busy.
