Un peu déçue...pour avoir fréquenté ce restaurant pendant des années...
Le potage était froid, le fish & chips tiède & pas aussi bon que d'habitude. J'ai adoré ma crème brûlée.
Par contre le service était impeccable. J'y retournerai quand même.

Based on most of the previous reviews, we had high hopes but left a bit disappointed. This is not to discourage anyone from going to Cafe du Monte, but just to moderate the expectations you might have. First, it is a very large venue & it feels like the basic philosophy is to move the tables as quickly as possible. To that end, the menu is quite limited so that the kitchen has only a few dishes to prepare. Other than the soup du jour, there were not specials offered. Our waitress pushed us to order quickly & when we did, our appetizers appeared about a minute later. While we hate waiting long periods for our food, the speed of the service was truly off-putting. Indeed, because of the limited selections, we decided just to have appetizers & go somewhere else for entrees. That said, our appetizers were quite good — tuna tartare & seafood chowder. In short, as terrific as the setting is, this is not the place for a quiet well-paced dining experience. Even the view was a bit disappointing because there are plants that they have let grow up above the railing which requires one to stand up to see the river clearly. This is a good restaurant if you don't mind limited choices, sitting very close to other tables, & a fast meal.
