Montpelier Restaurant Bar

We had an amazing dinner at Montpelier on 2/24. Our server was absolutely wonderful and so friendly. We shared the fried green tomatoes to start and we both agreed that they were the best we had ever eaten. I had the Carmel Shrimp for dinner and my husband had the Brisket Sandwich. We also had dessert. The food was wonderful! The restaurant is nice and open and wasn?t very busy the evening we were there. I would recommend reservations if you are planning to dine during

This place is outstanding! In a town full of culinary treasures this gem could be easily overlooked; it should not be overlooked. Stop in for a fine meal whether you are staying at Hotel Madison or not! I recommend the shrimp and grits, but be sure to check the specials for unique and well-crafted entrees.

Enjoyed chatting with the people at the bar more often than not, did not eat but heard everyone there speak highly of it. Drinks are hit and miss sadly BUT it's quiet, relaxing, and you're room just right upstairs.

The food was good, but the service could use some fine tuning. When we arrived we were quoted 15-20 minute wait. We waited 25 minutes then went back to the hostess stand. The hostess said they had to seat members of a party so it would likely be another 20-30 minutes. She then offered for us to sit in a bar area table (high top . At this point we said sure and were seated promptly, but not given menus. I thought it was just a bad-timing fluke, but a little while later the same exact thing happened to a family with small kids. Everything seating wise moved really slow. Our average dinner (drinks, appetizer, meal, and dessert took 1 hour and 45 minutes from the time we walked in to the time we walked out. During that time we saw only 2 tables get up and leave the restaurant. The wait time on our food did not seem excessive. It seemed like the servers were not actively turning tables and the hostess did not know how to properly quote wait times. Our server, also the bartender, seemed knowledgeable and friendly. We had the lavender martini, brussel sprouts, French dip sandwich, chicken piccata, and cheesecake with peach compote. The food exceeded my expectations (brussel sprouts and cheesecake were A+ , but my chicken was undercooked and had to be sent back. I did not request a new dish as I was already feeling full. The manager removed the piccata from our check and gave us a free dessert to go. If you park in the deck, the restaurant will validate your parking. Overall impressions—good food, especially for a hotel restaurant, but the staff could use a little extra training to make this place a gem.
