text: Living in the metro Phoenix area all my life, I grew up with Monti's. Had family in town who also grew up with Monti's so we went out for dinner tonight.  I wanted to remind them how great the bread is so they would move back. There were 12 of us total, and the service was a *bit* on the slow side, but I think our waiter handled it well considering there was another huge party going on tonight (85 people). \n\nThe bread is still great.  Had their Monday special which is the filet mignon. It tasted wonderful, but just a bit on the salty side. The side of steamed vegetables consisted of two pieces of broccoli and two small carrot strips, so they could definitely stand to not skimp so much on the veggies. \n\nMostly we enjoyed going for nostalgia's sake- childhood memories, growing up and remembering the treat it was to go there for dinner. Drink a sarsaparilla, which always comes in a bottle and a glass with two cherries to pour it in.  Bringing my kids now too, and they love it as much as I did- and do!
