The Loft is a beautiful room with incredible views! The staff was friendly and our food was good. The meal was expensive for breakfast.

I've dined here a couple of times - once for breakfast (best eggs benedict EVER) and once for lunch. Both business meals where we were also working. Highly recommend this restaurant as the food, view, and service are incredible. The prices are high but not horribly high. Sitting outside on the porch at lunch was great - overlooking the ocean...

Went here for dinner (while staying at the Montage) on 4/12. Wanted to try Studio, but settle for The Loft. Still had a wonderful time and great food. Ambience: Very nicely decorated restaurant. Although it was not their signature restaurant, it was still very very nice and could have held up as the main restaurant. Service: Like the rest of... More

We are staying at the Montage this weekend kicking off my birthday week. Since we arrived too early for hotel check in, we decided to eat a leisurely lunch at The Loft. The service was fantastic, and I really liked my halibut sandwich on flatbread...but the true winner- the sweet potato fries were incredible! LOVE! They were dusted with Parmesan... More

Nice restaurant, fresh food, breakfast particularly good. Staff very careful and attentive. Go out of your way to eat here. But bring a thick wallet.

We have had the privilege of dining here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each meal was fabulous. They do in fact take their menu very seriously, and food quality even more seriously. With Studio restaurant on the property, they have stiff competition as food goes, but the restaurant brings it! Believe it or not the food quality is outstanding at... More

We had both lunch and dinner here and I have had breakfast at an earlier stay and all I can say they take their food seriously! The chess bar is amazing and everything is so fresh and tasty.

Went for a birthday celebration, while the view was unbelievable The food just wasn't in the same league. $25 for a burger? I can name many places that are so much better at half the price....Haven, CrowBar, Umami. You pay for the view not the food, oh and $11 for parking WITH validation. Not much to recommend or celebrate.
