The ambience and the crowd would look like 20 somethings but the only reason why I loved this place is because of the vegetarian sandwich that I had. …

Walked in on a thursday evening for a cold beer and some grub. Beer was NOT cold. Food was over fried burned black. So desapointing. Not going back. Such a waste of a nice spot in Nob hill.
Food was very gross had to return a plate the red chile was spoiled I will never go back because the service didn’t even make up for a very horrible experience
Their food is fabulous! Definitely try the tuna tartar and green chile cheese fries.
Came last week for a drink an ended up having some chicken strips-really good. Nicely fried and the fries were good. So we decided to try MFVS for a full meal this week. Husband had a well-seasoned, cooked-the-way-he-ordered it steak with fries and a salad. His plate is empty. I ordered the fish and chips and was pretty disappointed. The chips were potato chips, not fries but I would have known that had I paid attention to the description on the menu. The fish was breaded, not battered. Breaded fish is crunchy, not crispy and it’s easy to underseason breading. The fish just didn’t have a lot of flavor. We had a so-so experience tonight but I’d give MVFS another chance, it does have nice ambience and it’s right in the heart of Nob Hill.
Try the guac… Came in last night with some friends for the $.22 buffalo wings along with some other munchies. We opted for some wings, guacamole, and he bacon wrapped jalapenos. The wings were a bit puny, but what can you expect for 22 cents. The bacon wrapped jalapenos were pretty good, but $6 for 4 jalapenos is a little unsettling. On top of that, we were sitting right by the kitchen and there’s nothing like watching your food get cold in the window for 10 minutes before they bring it out. At that point, just bring the appetizers out piecemeal and tell us you didnt want the food to get cold waiting on the made to order guac. As for the guac, that seemed to be the only thing on the table that we really couldnt get enough of. For 8 bucks, its a generous serving and was wonderful! Overall, for 3 drinks and 3 appetizers, we ended up paying $29 before tip. Not bad, but considering the only thing we were really happy with on the table was the guac, Maybe next time it’ll be the only thing we order.
Amazing Food-Terrible Atmosphere. My husband and I tried Monte Vista for the first time a few weeks ago and walked in to what felt like a frat party. 20 somethings drinking at the bar, blaring music and a very bizarre table set up. I was ready to walk out, but one of the booths opened so we tried it. I asked for a wine list and was told that the manager doesn’t have an updated one, so I asked what kinds of Malbec they served and the waitress had no idea. We ordered our food and at this point, were not expecting much but it arrived and was AMAZING! We shared the bruscetta as an appetizer and then I had the mussels which were a special that evening and enjoyed every bite. The food was some of the best I have had in Abq and I would love to go back, but the atmosphere just ruined everything. My suggestion is to convert the upstairs into the bar area and keep the fine dining downstairs.
Monte Vista has gone down hill. Food is not worth the price waitresses if you can get their attention are slow and confused. Drinks are ok when you can get one.
