The service was very good. Too bad we always end up in the little side room though. It feels so separated and cut off from the bustle of the main dining room.

Monte Carlo Restaurant
John and I went to the Monte Carlo recently hoping to grab a spot at the bar and have some wings. The bar was already full and we were able to get a table after waiting just a few minutes.
John had the Charlie's Kitchen steak sandwich on pumpernickel with slices of filet Mignon with horseradish sauce served on the side. The steak was served rare as requested and very tender and delicious.
I tried the whiskey peppercorn filet with a baked potato on the side. It is medallions of beef in a Madagascar green peppercorn sauce. The beef was very tender and I liked the flavor of the peppercorn sauce a lot. It is quite rich and flavorful.

Monte Carlo Restaurant
I visited the Monte Carlo restaurant recently with John and Michele. I've been here once before, but it was a long time ago, definitely before I started blogging.
It is very dark and clubby with a huge bar as you walk in. We had a reservation, but we had to wait a few minutes for our table before we could be seated.
Michele and I both tried a seasonal martini, the pumpkin spice, and it was really good. Not too sweet and not too strong.

The steak was served rare as requested and very tender and delicious. The horseradish sauce is really good and it adds a bit of spice to the sandwich. I have a serious soft spot for different versions of the Charlie's Kitchen sandwiches around town and is one of the best.
Michele had the meatloaf sandwich on pumpernickel with grilled onions and a side of fries. She said she enjoyed it a lot.
The service was very good and we were in and out in a very short amount of time. We were seated in the side room, so the sound level was not loud at all, though it felt like we were removed from the action a bit. I'd like to sit in the main room next time. They have a very nice patio on the side of the building when the weather is nice.
