About the restaurant

Monty’s Steakhouse has been proudly family-owned and operated for over 80 years by three
generations of the Levine family.
Monty Levine’s start as a restauranteur came in 1940, while he was working for a wholesale beverage
distributor. When one of the customers on his route—who owned a small bar and burger joint on the
corner of Fair Oaks and California Boulevard, Pasadena—fell severely ill, Monty extended him personal
credit until he recovered. Touched by the generosity of this gesture, the customer offered Monty his
burger bar in settlement of his debts…and the original Monty’s was born.
For the rest of the story, read the back of our reto menus when you dine with us.
Dennis and Michael thank you for being a part of MONTY’S history.
The Levine Family

This is essentially now my favorite go-to restaurant in LA. I love their berry lemonade. I like to order the Santa Barbara sandwich or Thai Ginger Salad (+ chicken) typically and always make it a point to order the sweet potato fries as well. The food quality is consistently great, ambience is always flirty and intimate. Their giant liquor wall feels like a grand art piece here. I’ve probably given them thousands of dollars in visits + referrals haha.

Our waitress was awesome despite there being challenges with our dining experience. I always choose a ribeye cut of steak and asked for it to be cooked medium. My steak wasn’t very marbled, nor juicy. It was overcooked as well. Tough to cut. The sides were nice tho. The WiFi went down, which we then had to fill out paperwork to be charged. It felt a little unnerving seeing that cc theft is so high.

Rouge was cool! We chose to sit at the bar. The bartender was very busy and really did an excellent job. His cocktails are really creative too. They have a nice top shelf selection and the cocktail menu was such that I actually ordered on menu. The food menu is pretty limited but very good. Apparently we decided to try this out on a Persian holiday so the place was rockin'. Both the manager and the bartender were apologetic but we were fine with it. I'll definitely go back for a cocktail occasionally and probably try some food too.
