The Monte Carlo

Awesome place. Great customer service, everyone was helpful and all smiles. The atmosphere was welcoming and the decor was in great shape. It was probably the best "medium" cooked steak I have ever requested. Perfectly done. Pricing was on par with what you'd expect from a place like this. I appreciated the attached parking lot, considering it's downtown Minneapolis. I'll be back and have already made recommendations.

Food was very good, my steak was perfect. My friend asked for medium and got rare. There chicken wings are the best around. Service was very poor. Overall I will go back and see if there will be a better experience next time.

Okay, this review is for the bar, and the bar solely. It was fantastic! Emelia was our mixologist, and she not only knew her craft, she also piled charm on top of her skills. We appreciated the entire staff behind the bar, who smiled, laughed and created a joyful ambiance. All stress, arrogance, and negativity was left outside. Emelia gave me a choice of three Mezcals and my old fashioned was spirit forward and delicous. I slammed two before dinner. The wine list was eclectic and intersting. Alas, we tried to hurry back from our dinner reservation to enjoy ice cream drinks at the Monte Carlo, but arrived after their closing at 11:00. However, we will be back to enjoy Monte Carlo. BTW, their patio is beautiful.
