"Best Coffee Shop Ever! If on the Jersey Shore, this place ROCKS! Great coffee, great service, great food! The workers are great! You feel good! They greet you with a smile and when you go, say good bye (with your name). I was just there a few days, but they seem to know their repeated customers with names. Muffins are also phenomenal!"

"Ravioli special was amazing! Two guests in our party raved about the Short Rib special as well. The Chicken brined in apple cider never disappoints."

"I have been coming to Seaside in the summer my entire life. My family orders from other Mexican inspired restaurants in the area and for years I have been disappointed with their food. Monte 's is a blessing. The moment I stepped foot inside to pick up my food I could tell this place was authentic. The food followed through. My tinga tostadas were one of my favorite meals I have eaten in months. They were absolutely up to the highest quality bar I have for comparison. The quesadillas were also outstanding. The veggie was delicious, though my uncle complained that the shrimp one did not have enough shrimp in it. The tacos all had good tortillas. The carnitas tasted good, it had a full flavor to it. The chicken in the tacos was dry, but the provided sauces were good. You can tell the chips are made in-house. They were very good. The guac was smoother than I expected. My family wanted empanadas. They were fine, but I didn 't expect anything special on that front from a Mexican place. On the whole this was not the best Mexican food I have ever eaten, but it so far surpasses its competition and does certain things such as the tostadas, quesadillas, and chips well enough that I am giving it 5 stars. I am ashamed it took me this long to discover Monte 's in Seaside."

"Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was so amazing. They had so many gluten free options and also many daily specials for appetizers and dinners. All the staff were very friendly and our server was great too. Yes there is limited parking (it's Lavallette, small beach town wth do you expect? And guess what calms live in the ocean (the kitchen staff cannot get out every damn piece of sand I truly hate people that leave reviews like that!!!! So if you'd love a great, fresh, amazing meal this is the local spot. We will be back again and we will leave another seller review!!! Don't let people's bitterness on wait time stear you away from this restaurant."

"HEARTBREAKING UPDATE FROM TODAY: 10/1/23 incredibly shocked and dismayed at this evening's order. I won't take away my five stars on your restaurant because this is the only time I've ever been disappointed in the 40 years my mother told me I've been going there cuz I'm 44 in March and tonight I feel like I was insulted when I called to find out why. My new one thing clam chowder was green heartbroken the crab cake appetizer carried so well to my house that I thought I would go blind. My eyes rolled into the back of my head in pure delicious ecstasy just like your french fries. Well I can't put the french fries with the crab cake appetizer but I can put them with the best best fries in seaside in Ocean county and probably anywhere else in the world. Now what the hell is green clam chowder I saw the something you may have been trying out. Reassured it would not be that way if I did not want it to be that way. Call to ask why it was that way and was gas lit by two members of staff with whom I've never had a bad word to say about with or acted in any manner in your establishment that would show differently. And apparently your head chef admits that he doesn't get his orders when he places them because there are no mushrooms in keys to have been put into my green clam chowder. I will be there sometime tomorrow with the soup once it cools that I preserve in the refrigerator because I want to know why why I wanted your clamped out or so bad. It's so damn good and so damn white not freaking green. My heart literally breaks. I don't know if I can continue to call you my favorite place. The only place I bring people who come from wherever in my life to visit and I'm like all you got to try KLEES usually first or second night in town and then we have a nice park seafood dinner and then finish the rest of her family time visiting this localor park seafood please or park seafood My company's usually impressed with the quality of the food that doesn't leave them. Broke to eat there a few nights a week while visiting. Please see me as I see you as an asset to our tiny little town here and explain to me what happened. Thank you! And so hoping to pull in the fluke and not a change in the standards I've come to expect since well my entire life Okay Anytime! As a local I mean local lol we live just a few blocks away its always great to get away enjoy what our little town used to be. Klee's as always been the place to bring friends from out of town, which results in being the one of the two in town restaurants where the food and staff are always far ahead of the class!! Thanks for providing an great get away so close to home.. See ya again!!.. okay you can now see this is my third review. Why was my Manhattan clam chowder green and after asking to make sure it was not the mushroom version, you are now portraying on your appetizer menu your head chef and bald bartender which is how they describe themselves told me I must be insane because there's no way there's mushrooms in it. I will be in to speak to someone tomorrow with what I ordered at closing because either I was lied to or I was given food that had spoiled. I look forward to seeing you. I hope not to lose my favorite restaurant blocks from my home. I've never been saddened like this. Every time I have you for any meal I make sure to leave a review about the great stuff, the friendly atmosphere, and the amazing food my crab cakes are to die for, but that's soup I may die from. You've gone from five stars in every aspect to me. Wondering if it's 1 stars in staff at the moment or -5 stars in the food and the treatment of me when I asked before I ordered it to make sure I could get it. The original way. Please feel free to respond to this if you are the manager like head manager or owner. Otherwise I will be in tomorrow at some point to show you the disgustingness that I ordered under the name of Anastasia last night because my daughter picked it up for me. Thank you and please let this be a fluke Service: Take out Meal type: Other Food: 3 Recommended dishes: Fries"
