Anecdotally I had a pretty meh all around experience the one time I went there last year.

I also noticed they had started offering and advertising carry out and (I believe) six packs to go, which indicated to me that they were struggling to compete with LeMont, Altius, Coal Hill, and Monterey Bay all being right there too.

I had a TERRIBLE experience at Le Mont - I've never tasted food so bland. The vegetables were boiled with no seasoning at all.

Altius I enjoy (just tried it yesterday when I couldn't go to Vue). Haven't been to the other two yet. But Vue was my favorite. Healthy portion sizes, staff was nice and attentive, and their filet was great.

Le Mont is terrible. I'm amazed they stay open.

I've heard it accurately described as what people think a fancy restaurant is, but it actually isn't.

Le Mont has had a terrible reputation at least since Richard Caliguiri was mayor. The only thing that saves it is the view.

I’ve admittedly never been to LeMont but have heard the same about it. I think it still has more of a reputation than Vue did as being a “white tablecloth” kind of place though.

Monterey Bey and Altius are both fantastic.

+1 to Altius, fantastic meals there. May be cliche but don’t care
