Café Montè was great. My wife and I first met on February 26th 2005 at a complete dive bar named Jeff's Bucket Shop, which is located down an alley and underneath a restaurant in the basement level of a building - great place, but we chose to celebrate our anniversary of this meeting at a place she had been trying out for lunch with some friends, Café Montè.
I don't have any pictures, but the food was absolutely wonderful. She ordered the Trout Amandine, and ate half of it and saved the rest. I had the Beef Short Rib Bourguionne, which was sitting in a bowl in a cradle of mashed potatoes and tiny little onions - this is one of those places where you leave remembering how good mash potatoes can really be.
The only disspointment was their crème brûlée, which obviously did not have a freshly done "brûlée", but the top layer was also thin and hardly crunchy at all. It may have been the worst crème brûlée I've had. BUT, the desert was a stark contrast from the otherwise excellent meal!
