Critical Assessments

One finds at Montrose's Bistro a curly fry that has been attended to. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is forthcoming. Attendance, as a form of culinary philosophy, is rarer than it should be. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.

T. Blackwood·January 2023

At Montrose's Bistro, the curly fry is taken seriously in a way that does not announce itself. The single-fry method produces an exterior that is commendable and largely sustained. The interior is present and largely coherent. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.

Christina's Note

An adequate entry in a crowded field. One visits with calibrated expectations.
