Monti's Rotisserie & Bar

I've been to Monti's many times in the past, but today the food and the service were very disappointing.  We went on a Sunday afternoon at about 3:45 PM for their happy hour.  The place was not busy at all, but for some reason it took a long time for the waitress to come to the table.  When she appeared, she gave us the dinner menu, and even did not mention anything about the happy hour menu.  Since we are "regular" customers there, we knew what we wanted to order, so she got our complete order for food and drinks. It took forever for a glass of wine and a beer to be served at the table, we had to ask and wait for a piece of bread and butter; besides a fly got to my glass of water and no one really paid any attention to it.  The food we ordered was very disappointing.  The chicken wings were overcooked and very dry, the chilled oysters were not dressed properly as they have always been in the past and the taste was terrible and the mussels were average.  The waitress came to the table many times trying to pull empty dishes, and even before I was done with my food and wine she gave us the bill to pay. All the pressure to finish the food, pay and go was very inappropriate!  I needed no pressure, especially in the Sunday afternoon to finish my small plate and a glass of wine, which actually I left unfinished at the table.

Their food is fabulous! I come with my husband a lot. We like to get out, without the kids, and relax. Nice ambiance, whether you sit inside or outside. Great appetizers, too.

In the recent months Ive only been a fan of the bar.  I have not had a "wow" experience with the food or service.  I am a huge fan of  the sister restaurant, Willi's Seafood in Healdsburg, this is not the best showing of the Stark talent.

I do love the outdoor seating, and the wine and bar offerings .
