Monty's Raw Bar

This was my first time at Monty’s, an place that has been in this location for about 50 years. We were looking for a lively, fun place on the water for drinks and then lunch. Monty’s was perfect, a great setting right on the water, with an enjoyable atmosphere. Drinks were good, and I had a salad with shrimp and lobster that was fresh and tasty. Our server was very nice, talked with us quite a bit about Monty’s and Coconut Grove. He did a very good job taking care of us. They include the tip with the bill, so watch out for that. There are a couple of bar areas mixed in with the tables. Definitely plan to return

Love both locations and the fresh seafood and drinks are always amazing! Gave this four stars for the simple reason our waiter sucked! Ordered drinks, then asked some questions about happy hour. Went up to the happy hour boat and ordered shrimp, oysters and crab claws. We needed salt and waited for the waiter to show back up. He forgot and when we saw him again, drinks were empty, but he hurried and brought the shaker over and never bothered to look at the empty glasses. We waited and finally went to the bar and ordered two drinks. He came back and cleared our table but never asked if we needed anything else. We decided to sit at the bar and transfer the tab over. Saw the tab and he charged us for extra drinks. Bartender behind the bar was amazing and got the manager over. Told him what happened and he corrected the tab and apologized for what had happened. Customer service brother, that's what it's all about!

Awesome awesome food! Outdoor experience. Raw bar with Stone crabs,oysters,shrimp was great. Drinks and other foods were amazing and Happy Hour had great prices.

It was a bit crazy to find a table... The place was slammed. Waitress took a while to see us and I found her on her mobile by the restrooms... My food came after my dates was finished with her meal.Food was a bit salty and just ok.All plastic utensils... Not sustainable towards environment.... Use bamboo or metal utensils..please.

Atmosphere was really nice. Restaurant is off the water with a view of all sorts of yachts. Food was delicious and there was a DJ to give you that fun vibe. One negative point was the ladies restroom. It was extremely in need up updating, fixing and cleaning. Especially during these time where we want to see public areas being cleaned.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Great for for adults friends families and kids. Staff is amazing. Seafood is out of this world. Bake and Shark was out of this world. Nachos were a huge size for an appetizer. Drinks were very good. Well worth the money. Not lite on the pour. Live music was great. Right on the water. Would recommend to anyone.

Cool place, fair price, great location! They pay your parking at the public parking in front, just show the ticket. Really like this! No fussy

A great place for lunch/early dinner (their Happy Hour runs 4-8PM Monday through Friday they have $3 beers and $5 cocktails plus $1 oysters, shrimps and clams) Their burgers are $12-$17. Casual atmosphere, live concerts, great outdoors, friendly crowd and great staff. Even if you’re not hungry, come get the oysters and pain remover cocktail 🍹

It is a great stop for lunch. Being on the water next to a marina. There was a gentle breeze that kept the temperature just right. So this is a place if the service takes a little longer it is a blessing. We had two different salads with fish and they both were very fresh. The bloody Mary's were also good with a lot of flourish in the toppings. Parking can be a little tight so we opted for the $6 valet. Great place for lunch.

Lots of great outdoor seating! I got a side casear salad. It was good, but I would have liked more croutons. I also got the wings. The wing sauce was very good. I’m not sure if I missed it on the menu, but they are breaded, which I’m not much of a fan of. My husband really liked the fish tacos and conch fritters. He also really enjoyed the key lime pie.

Monty's is one of those places that is as much a part of Miami as is the Freedom Tower. Monty's has been here longer than I've been alive and will continue to be here after I die. This is a typical beach bar restaurant with a Miami flair. Place to go get drinks, or a nice long weekend lunch. Food is good and has that timeless feel.

Cool location right on the water and great food! We particularly liked the tropical chips and salsa with the giant plantain chips—so tasty with the mango salsa. Everyone in our group loved them.The restaurant will validate parking so don’t forget to bring your parking ticket with you!

Honestly the self seat without a hostess was just plain disorganized and unmannerly . We spent 20 minutes just scattered throughout the restaurant looking to see when persons would be paying their bills to snag a table . Also there were 2 persons sitting at tables meant for a large crowd . That was an inconvenience. The meal took over an hour to arrive at our table after we found one . Their service needs to be improved !!! Also the staff just came and picked up our plates without asking if we were finished . That was just rude and impolite . The food I must say was delicious after it arrived . Everything tasted wonderful so that's the only reason I am giving this place a 3 star rating .

AMAZING Food and Great staff. The manager was super friendly and the staff is friendly and funny. Great place to eat if you are visiting or just looking for a good bite to eat.

I was expecting Monty's to be "an attempt" at a trendy seafood spot. I WAS WRONG. The oysters and the clams were beyond fresh. The drinks were mixed perfectly. I had the grouper blackened to absolute perfection. Monty's has the perfect location as well as excellent service. I shall return.
