Montrose Town Kitchen & Grill — Restaurant in Glendale

Hello readers!

First and foremost… this restaurant is not family nor kid friendly at all. The staff there lack personality and warmth to the guests that come in and seem to be cold and very judgmental to people with kids. In our experience We did not feel welcomed at all.

It all started when I had called to make reservations but the host told me that wouldn’t be necessary and just walk in. We walk in as two adults and three children. I inform the host we would like to be seated in a nice corner booth, immediately he responded that it was reserved. I spotted another booth in the midsection and he said no (didn’t even have a good reason to not accommodate us) at this point I tell my husband that I had called earlier in attempt to make a reservation in order to avoid seating inconveniences. The host over heard and moved us to an uncomfortable front booth of the restaurant corner and connected two tables together so we all fit. Suddenly he left his station unattended to be and stay at the very back of the restaurant with the rest of the staff there just looking in our direction. Finally, we get greeted by an assigned server. We all order water to get the extra time to view the menu. Somehow the server has the impression that we are just there taking up space with no money and not going to order a whole lot. And I firmly say this, because when it was time for us to order food, I started for myself with a wedge salad entrée and an order of crunchy tacos they have on the dinner menu. Suddenly, without saying a word, she immediately walks away to the back to put in the order on the system. At this point we are dumbfounded and confused looking at eachother wondering what was going on… just as my husband was trying to order for himself she just left us there. It was the weirdest thing.

Finally I call her over to our table and tell her that we were not finished ordering and so she proceeded to take all our orders.

Anyway, at that point we should have just walked out because it totally seemed like they did not want to attend us as customers at all. Just sad horrible service. As for the food… the food was meh 🫤 ok. It was fresh but nothing extraordinary for how the way they were acting .

Also, the restrooms are filthy with poop stains all over the toilet bowls because evidently the workers there are too good to be maintaining restrooms...

This is a nice restaurant that did not meet our expectations. The decoration is sober, simple and elegant. They have a nice variety of spirits and wine. The bar tender prepared a nice balanced gin and tonic. The serverswell dresed, very attentive and cordial. The menu has a interesting set of dishes that is hard to understand what is the chef style or theme. We order the recommended brussel sprouts which were good. They were a little bit charred with a sweet and sour flavor and interestingly perfect combination with shaved cheese. Then we ordered crab cakes. They were very light but the kinda thousand island liked sauce was a disservice to the dish. We completed our order with the blackened catch. It was below expectations. The white fiah flavor was completely lost and wasted under a thick layer of too much seasoning and borderline overcooked. It came with steam white rice thar was hard and seemed to be the left over when you cooked rice in a pot. The mango salsa, other than sweet had no flavor. I can't at this point recomend the restaurant...

Well, seeing I live in town, I figured I'd give this place a try. It was very nice inside and had a couple of TV's behind their shnazzy bar. I was in there before noon or right after. It was me and one other customer.(weekday)

The service was great but both servers on duty seemed to be a bit distracted by their phones. Working in the restaurant industry for several years and I know for a fact, there's plenty of stuff that could be getting done during the slow times like prepping for rush times.

It just looked lazy, unfortunately. Overall great service though. I just think they should be taking their job a little more serious and at least look busy.

The personal pizza was good and fairly cheap but was lacking anything special. I'll definitely be going back to try other foods on the menu. Hope this review helped a little, enjoy your visit and be...
