We heard about this place from some YouTube vlogs when planning our Elizabeth City/Outer Banks trip and decided to give it a try. We made a reservation on open table but people were still able to walk up and be seated within 15-30 minutes.

My husband definitely enjoyed his steak he can cut it with a fork that’s how tender it was. He said he hasn’t had a steak like that in a long time we definitely need to come back and try other dishes. I had the scallop risotto it was pretty good. Service was awesome. Definitely one of the best places here in the heart of Elizabeth City.

I’m in E City a lot of for work and this was my time here. I’ve heard nothing but good things and overall they didn’t disappoint. The restaurant was very clean and the staff were not only friendly but the service was quick. Almost a little too quick with the calamari. I think they could’ve let the oil dip a little more before plating. At the bottom of the calamari bowl was a puddle of oil that I didn’t really care for. The steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I hope I have a chance to try other menu items before I head back west. Montero’s is a must try restaurant if you’re in Elizabeth City.

This place looks like it’s situated in a previous house which gives it some nice charm. The dining room itself isn’t super upscale but more casual looking with red walls and darkish wood furniture. The lighting was a bit too bright for my liking though. Our waitress was upbeat and kind. The appetizers were crab dip and deep fried cheese. They were both flavorful and satisfying. We also received bread and mini muffins which were a warm added touch.

I was in NC for 2 days for work. My co-worker and I decided to stop here for dinner one night. From the walkway leading to the entrance all the way to the dining area I was impressed. This restaurant really makes you feel like you’re visiting your family for a home cooked meal. The food was excellent. I had the scallops and risotto. The service was flawless. If I’m ever in the area again I have to visit!

My wife and I live in Virginia, but we enjoy making the 45-minute or so trip to Montero’s because we have yet to have a bad experience there. I believe we have eaten there five or six times, each time getting something different. I will often lean towards the special of the day and I have never been disappointed. The food is exceptional and the prices are very reasonable. This certainly remains one of our favorite restaurants. Keep up the good work!
