Montana’s Restaurant

The other day we tried to purchase tickets to the Downton Abbey movie but found they didn’t open until 12:30 p.m. for ticket sales and it was now only about 11:15 a.m. With Montana’s across the parking lot, we decided to go and grab a quick bite and then come back to get the tickets.

We got in, ordered our coffees and then I decided to go for the potato skins (sans onion) and Don ordered the chicken wings.

When the food came out I have never, EVER seen potato skins like this….they had quite a bit of potato left, added the best brisket and their bold bbq sauce. I kid you not, These are the very best I have ever eaten.

Don had the double dusted chicken wings and loved every bit of it. Then, because we still had a few more minutes to go, we ordered the 8 mini donuts which come out HOT and has a warm toffee dipping sauce. Oh Boy!  We have gone over the top today.

I spoke with the Manager and told him what I thought of the potato skins and he said they had already run out of the brisket for the afternoon. It is a new item on their menu and he says everyone has caught on. Fabulous!

La Carciofi Pizzeria

Last night we met our very dear friend at La Carciofi Pizzeria for dinner and ‘catch up’ on each other lives for the past two months. We had been here a year ago, although always wanting to return but hadn’t. Don and I were so excited to go back and it was well worth the anticipation.

Kathleen and I ordered a glass of wine to start and Don ordered a soda. We each ordered a pizza and, of course, all were different. Kathleen and I ordered our pizzas with a cream sauce and Don opted for a red sauce.

The crusts on the pizza are thin, crispy and puffy on top. Light as air and soooooo good. Mine was a mushroom pizza and I ate all but one slice. Unheard of for me. Usually I have 2, maybe 3 slices and am done. Don had artichoke, olives, mushrooms and pepperoni.

Don ate a little more than half of his and our friend, who is wiser than us, ate a few slices and took the rest back home for her lunch today.

This restaurant is small, but clean. and the service is awesome. The food is beyond your dreams. We will definitely be back and sooner than later.
