Monticola - Panorama

We ate at this restaurant twice while we were staying and both times were fantastic! They have a wonderful variety of drinks, the food comes out quickly, they offer a great kids menu, and the staff is very friendly.

My boyfriend and I were hungry and looking for a place to eat early in the afternoon. We decided to try out Himeji Jo.

Food was decent, atmosphere was nice, had unique cocktails, and friendly staff. But with a few unfortunate mishaps, our experience changed quite a bit. (-) they ran out of the special of the night by 7:10pm. Our server had to come back and say it was out. (-) the French onion soup did not have cheese or the bread part. So it was more of an onion soup. Still good but I mislead and hoped for a more traditional French onion soup (-) long wait time for food.(-) I ordered a cocktail before I ordered my food. 35 mins passed and I didn't receive it. When the sever came by to ask if we needed anything, I let her know that I hadn't received my drink yet. It came about 5-10 mins later. But so did the food. I don't enjoy getting them at the same time. I wanted to sip it and enjoy it's unique taste on its own. And it shouldn't take 45 mins to get a drink. It just made me sad. And it was a good drink in the end. (-) they had to move our group half way through our experience to give our table to a bigger group. Not the end of the world, just weird and disruptive since we had been there waiting for food and drinks for so long. I am hopeful this restaurant will give others a better experience however. I hope this was just a bad night.

Ate here twice in 10 days - good food, reasonable price and friendly service - they are happy to accommodate groups as well

Great meal at Monticola, Service was fantastic with all the staff helping each other out and very friendly towards us. Had the ribs and they were fantastic, and so were the potatoes. We will be going back here the next time in Panorama
