Editorial Review for Le Bistro Montage – by Bonnie Martin Fazio
In Short
This quirky bistro is more like a night at the theater with loud music blaring in the background. Quite spacious with minimal decor and large wood tables, you'll likely be seated at a long table with total strangers. The affordable menu features gumbo, jambalaya and cream-sauced dishes. But the oyster shooters are the most popular items. For dessert, Grandma's bread pudding with vanilla sauce has been known to resemble French toast swimming in syrup.

I really do love this place. I moved about a year and a half ago to Portland, and I would definitely say Montage is one of my top three finds in this state. I crave their Old Mac pretty much every day, and their frog legs are freakin amazing when theyre cooked right. The only thing I have to say is this, and I thought I never would: one or two of the servers are SO BAD sometimes! I used to hate on people who complained about the service and noise, because seriously, thats what Montage is all about, and since its always packed I totally understand rushed service. However, one night I had a blonde girl server who was really nice, but my boyfriend and I went back many times and the next time we had her, she was awful. AWFUL! Im one of those people who smiles all the time, is very personable, and totally fair when it comes to dining experiences. But she was conversational and nice to people only a table away from us, and whenever she gave us something or came by(which was pretty much never) I wouldnt even be done saying thank you or saying how good something was and shed be walking away with an annoyed look. And that night our food wasnt good either. Plus, it was FAR from busy. This is my only bad experience with them, and Ill obviously continue to go back. But seriously people, dont get cocky because youve been working there forever and think that the quirky atmosphere allows you to be rude for no reason. You need to remember that customers determine business, and rudeness, abruptness, and distasteful attitudes are always remembered more than a normal experience.
Pros: Great food, cool vibe, truly "Portland-ish"
Cons: Parking, waits over an hour, sometimes rude staff
