    Monte’s used to have a la cart service for the week I visited. (2nd week of January), they just had a buffet. Very fresh but simple scrambled eggs bacon sausage fruit and pastries. The cost was $30.00 - you can get great a la carte breakfast at sears Pinterest loris diner or cafe Mason for half the price.

    NYE - App shows pictures of restaurant, takes reservations for the restaurant, but only thing open was the bar and not serving food. Would have gone elsewhere I’d we’d known. Maybe OT should put kitchen closing time info in the descriptions as well.
