   Alto was terrific! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the drinks were great (I went for margaritas, my wife had cosmos) the "snacks" were good-sized portions, actually and really good! Very imaginiative menu. But best of all is the venue itself- we started out on the deck, with a just spectacualr view, but as thunderstorms came in, we all migrated indoors to the lounge, which has this great Jetsons/airport bar vibe to it. Great first visit to Montclair!

   I went for the Wednesday night Bingo and we had a great time. It was a nice day, so everyone was on the rooftop. The food was good and I will definitely be going back.

   I took my girlfriend here as a part of a date night prior to seeing a show at the Wellmont theater down the street. The food was terrible, the music was distasteful no energy what’s so ever and the drinks were disgusting. I honestly felt that my one drinks was made by using a dish towel and ringing out the liquid into my glass. The food was cold and clearly weren’t cooked all the way through. This place where I visit in the past from time to time and had enjoyable experiences in the past, which is why I choose to go there this evening, just didn’t care that night. I wish I can get my money back because it was a joke.

   Small menu for brunch and one of the main brunch items was not available. Service was friendly good food was good. The ambience was strange. I felt like I was eating a breakfast sandwich the morning after in a nightclub.

   Hello, Nancy! Thank you for joining us in Alto! We understand your concerns about the menu and the ambience. We strive to create a unique and enjoyable atmosphere for our guests, and your feedback helps us do just that. We're always looking for ways to improve and your input is invaluable to us. Our brunch is considered a special, which is why it is a small menu. I am sorry that we were out of the Salmon today. It is never a good time when the item you want is unavailable. We do hope you come back when the weather is nicer. Dining outside, when the weather is nice and sunny, is a very different ambience. Thank you again for your honesty. We are very glad that you enjoyed the service!! All the best, Felicia The MC Hotel Food and Beverage Manager

   Calm Rooftop to grab a drink with friends or date night. Drinks are good, and apps are decent. I would 100% recommend.

   We were disappointed at the menu. It did not have many choices. The choices it did have were limited to gluten free and dairy free customers. I was not happy with the taste of my food as well. I think the drinks were pricy and sugary. The presentation was awesome the taste not so much. I guess the view is great however we were there at night. I love the lounge feel but for the price we paid between parking and dinner I think that was our first and last time going there. We love trying new places and have no problem spending money on food and even parking but unfortunately it was not worth it.

   The Place had potential with the atmosphere, location, but definitely needs help with the Vibe and the D.J. He would put a song on and walk away and was not feeling the room or crowd.

    So cute! It was early so it was empty. We had drinks and apps. Pork and black bean sliders were so good. Delivered hot which I love. So flavorful and the perfect meal before a show at the Welmont. Three big sliders per order. Very worth the money. Service could have been better. Look forward to coming again in warm weather to sit outside!!
