Tucked away in the middle of an upscale suburban mall, Montgomery Village, in Santa Rosa, CA, Monti's Rotisserie continues to satisfy year after year. One of my dining partners put it best when he said,"This is like eating in San Francisco, without the wind, at half the price!" Well said, Marvin, and all meals were first rate. My brother had fish, which adhered to the Polish proverb, "Fish, to taste right, must swim three times--in water, in butter, and in wine."Leslie's artichoke hors d'oeuvre made nonsense out of Miss Piggy's feeling that "After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual 'food' out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 49 postage stamps." Les just kept repeating how great it was.My hanger steak took me back to a summer on the Cote d'Azur; pomme frites, the litmus test, was like eating sunshine the Impressionists captured. The service is a tad slow, but the wait is worth it. We even took the new puppy and sat outside, where the french bread sated his need to chew. Willie behaved at Monti's. Good dog;great meal. Try it!
