Just returned from a disappointing meal.  My husband & I have eaten at Monti's several times over the years, and this was an expensive disappointment.  We placed our order and our server brought out our salads & appetizer (calamari) in a timely manner, but we didn't even have the salad dressing spread onto our salads and he came out with our steaks!  He apologized and said that because they weren't very busy, the kitchen was getting food ready too early.  We decided not to send the steaks back because they would have just been put under some heat lamp.  So we had to try to eat our salads and main dish, as well as our appetizer, all at the same time.  My husband's prime rib was also almost more fat than prime rib.  Unfortunately, we won't be going back again.  My husband is a native of Phoenix, and I have lived here for 40 years.  Mont's has always been a favorite of ours,,,,but no longer. \nSo sorry to see the decline in what used to be great steakhouse
