Prime rib was a chunk of probably boneless prime rib meat cooked on the grill. Bread was best part of the meal. Calamari was OK. Nothing wasn't not-OK. It just wasn't...you know...great.

Recently took my girl friend out for lunch to Monte Cristo, and we had a very enjoyable time. We had a lovely spot overlooking the river. Both of us got the lunch special (soup & sandwich). Their seafood soup was delicious, and one of the best I've ever had. The sandwich was also very good. We're definitely going back, and... More

We happened by the Monte Christo by chance and stopped because it had a full parking lot. The sign of a good restaurant, I always think.

A fine quiet place for a Sunday Lunch,nice and quiet with a Fantastic menu,They never change,always SUPER

15 years ago, this place served up some tasty dishes. Now...it's sad. The view is fun on the back porch, looking at the river. But if it's the food you're after, then spend a little more on gas by traveling into town. Ordered the prime rib and it was covered (smothered) a gelatinous brown substance. I could only assume it...
