While in Tempe for work, the group was told that Monti's was a good place for steaks. I think good is the right term, because it isn't 'great'. Not that any one thing made it only 'good', but that is how I felt leaving this establishment. \n\nThe waiter was very accommodating, but had a heavy accent so was a bit hard to understand. He did a great job taking care of the 7 of us. \n\nAs others have noted, this is a dark place. Another thing to realize is that it is huge. They can seat between 1200 and 1500 people. Although we we a large group, we were shuttled all the way to the back and ended up having the room to ourselves. It made for good conversation, but felt a little isolated. One person with me asked for the salad dressing that is on one of their signature salads but couldn't get it on her garden salad...seems a bit odd. \n\nThe prices were good and all the steaks seemed to be cooked as ordered, but I have made better Filet Mignon at home.
