Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Do not, I repeat do not, order their "authentic" cod fish and chips. What a joke! I was mortified when it was served to me. A tiny piece of fish no bigger than my ring and pinky finger. My friends ,who were dining with me,...were shocked at the serving size and food presentation. I am happy to say I will not be dining at Montano's ever again and you can be assured I will share my awful experience with this subpar establishment.More

This is a great place if you like to choose from a myriad of choices. Note: Lunch menu is mainly appy's, salads, soups and sandwiches. Dinner menu expands the lunch menu to include a wide variety of 'International' dishes. We were there for a Friday...lunch with a 11:30 reservation. BTW - reservations are recommended because it was packed when we left at 12:30. We were seated promptly - and greeted by our server - Abigail. We asked for some water - and then my wife had a generously poured glass of SV. They did have fresh oysters - and I ordered a dozen (Rappahannock's) and a side of Fried Green Tomatoes. My wife - Tuna Nicoise Salad. My oysters were fresh - icy cold - and huge. Being so big - quite a few of them were very chewy. Plus they had not been loosened from the muscle attachment. So - no slurping. But - the Fried Green Tomatoes were some of the best that I have ever had - as they were crispy on the outside, solid on the inside with fantastic chow chow and remoulade sauce. Wife's Tuna salad was very good as was the dressing for the greens. We'd certainly come back - maybe to try dinner - in the beautiful bar area,More

I thought the new Poke Bowl menu item was outstanding; perhaps the best I have eaten here in memory. The amount of flavor and variety of fresh ingredients, the large portion size, and the $18 price point, all added up to a memorable meal. I...have already begun recommending it to friends.More

Wife and I made reservations for 2 on Saturday 12-16-23. We were sent an email confirmation and continued to receive messages from the restaurant like a (count down timer) when to leave our house and constant directions to arrive on time. Arrived 5 minutes early...and was informed by a very rude hostess that they weren't accepting reservations even though it was projected on her screen and I showed her my email confirmation. A follow-up voice mail and an email were both placed and were ignored. Management not professional enough to even respond.More

I especially ordered this because they bragged about their Muffuletta with salad from Central Grocery in New Orleans. There was NONE! I grew up in New Orleans, so I know a good Muffuletta. Really bad sandwich. But, we also had the oysters and they were...good. So, three stars. But, I will stay away from anything they claim is from New Orleans recipes.More

We recently had dinner at Montano's on a Friday evening. We had reservations and our table was ready for us. The menu is fairly large and is supplemented by a number of specials. Most of us ordered off of that menu. The fried green tomatoes...were excellent. The halibut dish was also good but the fish could have used a little more seasoning. Our server was very good and kept our glasses full. The timing of the meal, however, was poor. Our entrees arrived within a couple of minutes of our appetizers. We had barely started to eat the first course. This really isn't acceptable. Since they use food runners, our server didn't realize this had happened until he walked by. We enjoyed the meal.....just hope they can pay a little more attention the next timeMore

Been going here for years, even after moving out of Roanoke. In the mood for a good corned beef sandwich while in Roanoke and suggested Montano's. Visit on 2/20/23 during lunch hours. Ordered Corned Beef Rueben sandwich. Bread was hard and toasted (I broke off...the edges). Looks like it was put under a broiler to melt the cheese since the tips of the meat were black (which I removed), while the slice of bread on the bottom half was a bit soggy in the middle. Normally a Rueben sandwich is buttered and grilled. I checked several recipes and every one said butter the bread and grill! Made sure we got their fries because we love them. This time they had a strange taste that I couldn't identify--perhaps something else that had been fried in the same oil. The last time we were here we were also disappointed. In the past the food has always been exceptional. Also, on my way back from the restroom, I witnessed an unpleasant verbal altercation between the kitchen and wait staff. Disappointed in last two visits--that's not good. And when you pay $15+ for a sandwich you expect it to be great. I would like to add that our server Charity did an outstanding job keeping up with everyone during the busy lunch hour.More

Our Business group had our meeting today in their meeting room and I must tell everyone how amazing everything was!!! The accommodations were perfect, we were made very comfortable. The room is off the path and extremely private. The lady taking care of us has...been with them for decades!!! She was more than kind and we wanted for nothing. They served up fresh salads and two entrees. I was pleasantly surprised with all the food and I was WOWed by the chocolate truffles for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant for everything from a special treat or for your next party or private event/meeting. Excellent for food and service.More

Hosted a party. Multiple calls made for party planning without responses. Drove down to look at room for decorating etc. Planner was not pleasant and acted like I was inconveniencing them for wanting to view the space. Was told the day before room had been...changed. Day of party- no communication from planner. No explanation of process or how food etc would be handled. Food was way overpriced for the amount served. Did not take into consideration regarding pricing that most of the children were 5 years or younger regardless of attempting to discuss planning/pricing prior to the party. A big ordeal ensued upon receiving the bill. Felt like this could have been handled more professional and not with visible attitude. Had proper communication taken place before and the day of, most of these issues could have been avoided.More

We recently dined at Montano’s while visiting Roanoke. This is an international restaurant and it shows in their large menu. I opted for their shrimp and grits. The shrimp are a bit spicy, and the grits definitely needed more cheese in my opinion. My salad...had a delicious avocado dressing. My husband enjoyed his Spanish seafood paella. To finish the meal, we took a piece of their lemon cake back to our hotel. I recommend reservations as the restaurant is always busy.More

The Feijoada (Brazilian bean stew) was full flavored; somewhat surprising given that other recent meals here were anything but. The black beans were tender, the sausage and beef well cooked, and the spices were just right; a side of rice and collards were included. At...$26, it seems a bit over priced; after all, beans are an inexpensive ingredient.More
