Monti's

I don't see how this place gets anything less than a five star review--we go all the time and it's delicious every time. It's a small place, but has a great vibe and the service is always spectacular.  The person below that's complaining about a 20 minute wait for food? Wow, you must live life at warp speed because in my world, that's pretty standard and hardly worth griping about...but, I digress.  We always get Philly cheesesteaks, and they are always AH-MAZING, and the fries are perfect.  I've seen several pizzas delivered to nearby tables during my visits and they always smell wonderful and look very appealing....maybe I will order one soon.  This is a great addition to the area--excellent food, reasonable prices and great service.  Check it.

First impressions are all for first dates and job interviews not new (to me) Chicago eateries, having said that I'm sure this place will work at it and have what Chicago likes some day. What's to fix, prices too high for what you get 16.50 (that does include 3.tip) for a 8" Philly, cup of soup and water to drink, over the top on spices any cut of beef is tender cut that thin but hard to know what cut of beef when garlic, salt and maybe wine? cover all the meats flavor. Parking is not their fault, searching will find a meter or maybe a free residential street spot. Looking around they have put money work and thought into this bar/sandwich cafe and I'm sure take all feedback and put it to use. Always give a dining place a second or even third shot before giving up. Was with a friend who had Philly & fries and they were in love at first bite. See drinks and appetizer there with a date or friends for now.

Montis  is so good,
