It is amazing how a once very decent restaurant can go to the level that Montanzas has gone in just a few years. What a shame that no one in the kitchen is in charge to make sure that a half decent meal is served to the patrons. We tried Montanzas for dinner this past January and what they served us wasn't fit for human consumption!!! Wake up Montanzas you have a beautiful back bay location please spend some money and HIRE A QUALITY CHEF to run your kitchen!!!!!

If you need a gift card,better pick up in person or order elsewhere if you need it to be sent as a gift.
They take your money but wait 10 days before mailing.
I did not realize the poor reviews of the service and food until i read this ....Maybe its a good thing to order elsewhere.

“Grouper or not grouper”

I took my daughters here for lunch on New Years Eve. They ordered a grouper sandwich. I ordered the fish sandwich on the menu that was $3 cheaper. All 3 of us got the same fish. We questioned the server and she said that they look very similar. We are not stupid, they looked the same and tasted the same. We are wondering what kind of fish Mantanzas calls grouper. It wasn't very good to boot. JD Bonita Springs January 2008

“The Worst”

We ate at Matanzas Restaurant on December 3rd. It was the worst meal I have ever had eating out and I'm not a picky eater. The garden salad was fine. The baby carrots had been soaking in water so long they were like little sponges. The rice had a terrible flavor that is hard to describe and was very dry. The coconut shrimp was tough. I would not recommend this restaurant. There are other places in that area that had much better food and better parking.

“Good lunch special”

Had Swordfish lunch special (Mon.4/23) with fries and a bowl of Conch Chowder. Fresh, hot, nicely seasoned. Chowder was good, and quite spicy for me, has a tomato base. They give you a carafe to refill your drink. Key Lime pie was good; small slice.
Table was waterside; it was a good choice to stay for dessert as we saw dolphins.
Friendly service- Hostess (Connie) waitress (Rosario)
We inquired about the place around 11:30 and parked in their lot, walked around FMB (stayed cool by going in and out of shops) and dined at 2- then off to Lover's Key - a perfect day.
