Monte’s - San Francisco

The NYE app provides pictures of the restaurant and allows for reservations, but when we arrived, only the bar was open and no food was being served. Had we known this, we would have chosen a different place. It might be helpful for the app to include the kitchen closing times in the descriptions.

Monte's offered buffet service during my visit in the second week of January, rather than their usual à la carte options. The buffet featured fresh but basic items: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, and pastries. The cost was $30, but you can find excellent à la carte breakfast options at Sears, Pinterest Loris Diner, or Café Mason for half the price.

The lunch menu could benefit from adding a fish dish as a main option, and for dinner, it would be nice to see another steak choice aside from the flat iron.

--- **Lunch with Colleagues** I recently had the pleasure of enjoying lunch with my colleagues at a local restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place for some relaxed conversation amidst our busy workday. The menu offered a variety of delicious options, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. I opted for the grilled chicken salad, which was not only fresh but also bursting with flavor. My colleagues were equally impressed with their choices, ranging from hearty sandwiches to flavorful pasta dishes. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and our meals arrived promptly, allowing us to enjoy our time together without feeling rushed. We appreciated the friendly staff who made us feel welcome. Overall, our lunch was a great success, combining excellent food and great company. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying meal, whether for a casual lunch with colleagues or a more formal gathering. --- Feel free to let me know if you would like any changes or additional details!
