Montien





So I went to my first visit to Montien, a thai restaurant outside of Boston Chinatown by near the theater district. I always thought it would be a bit pricey. The prices were not cheap, but not overly as pricey as I had assumed in my head.


The dining room was welcoming and MPK and I were seated immediately. We were heading to a play so we had not that much time to eat. MPK assured me his prior visits guaranteed we would not be late to our show.

I ordered the White Escolar special with salad (seared escolar) and spicy hamachi. Both were good but not stellar. My friend MPK loved his soft shell crab dinner special. Just for my two items my bill with tax and tip was $25! (Definitely on the pricey end).

Service was attentive and good. One of the waitresses did drop off a soft shell crab order seriously within two minutes of ordering our dishes and then took it away realizing she sent it to the wrong table. Atmosphere was pleasant but the prices are a bit too much.

I give it an 7.0 forks out of 10 forks.
