Today was my birthday, day after Valentine’s…I’m always concerned with going out for food or drinks so close to V-Day, but, this mornings brunch at Cafe Monte was terrific. Our server Samantha (Sam) was attentive, environment was great…place was busy, but the kitchen had no trouble keeping up. Our food was excellent, French Onion soup was delicious, the bacon was crispy (our server actually asked how we liked our bacon, nice touch), I had banana crepes…OMG, delicious ! No complaints at all, highly recommend Blume…price was reasonable for what we received. Good job team…we plan on returning.

I visited Cafe Monte for Saturday brunch, and overall it was a really pleasant experience. The food came out hot, fresh, and beautifully prepared. The waffle was delicious, perfectly crisp, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, and served with warm syrup. The bacon was cooked just right and full of flavor. We also tried the tuna melt, and while everything else on the table was great, the tuna melt itself wasn’t a favorite. It wasn’t bad, just not as impressive as the other dishes. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time, which I really appreciated. Parking was the biggest challenge. There was construction happening in the lot, so finding a spot wasn’t easy. Once inside though, the food and service made up for it. Overall, Cafe Monte is a lovely spot for brunch, and I’d definitely return for the waffle alone.

Met a couple gfs for Sunday brunch at noon, the ambience is beautiful but the food sort of fell flat for me. I ordered the short rib sandwich just to be told few min later they were out of it. So I settled in on the seafood omelette. Was posed to have like crab, lobster and salmon with cheese but honestly barely could find much seafood and if the cheese was there it was very light, almost nonexistent. And the flavor just wasn’t there for me, had high hopes but just didn’t win me over. The jam for the bread was great as well as the sweet tea.
