We were greeted right away when we walked in with a smile.
Had a great experience at Montana’s! The food was fresh, flavourful, and came out quickly. The service was just as impressive — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Everything from the atmosphere to the meal made it an easy place to relax and enjoy. Definitely a spot I’ll be going back to!

We come from Barrhaven to this location on Merivale, because the food, and service are superior to the location in Barrhaven.today, Izabella was our server, and she was fast, friendly, helpful and provided excellent service!

had an excellent time at this restaurant for my birthday. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. They even sang for me, which made the moment unforgettable!
The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Every dish had great flavor, and the portions were generous. The service was fast, the place was clean, and the overall experience was worth every penny.
I will definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends.
Highly recommended!

I went to lunch on Tuesday to take advantage of the Taco Tuesdays special. It took awhile to get a table, as the restaurant was extremely busy and it looked like they only had two servers working. They really need to staff up at lunch, it's consistently busy there. I couldn't order food for about 40 minutes, the staff was just too busy. C'mon guys, let's not leave customers waiting...

This one blew me away!
I hadn't been to a Montana's in a long time, and the last one I went to (different location) was subpar to say the least.
On a whim, we decided to go out for dinner with our kids, and ended up here.
It was 5:30pm and didn't wait for a table to become available, so off to a great start. Our server gave prompt service and was kind and patient with our kids.
The food was perfect. Everything cooked perfectly, nothing cold, nothing dry, nothing lacking in flavour.
Overall, a great experience.
