Mentone does the following really, really, really, really well:
* CAESAR SALAD. It is hands-down the BEST caesar salad I’ve ever had. You won’t want to share it even though it’s meant for sharing.
* EGGPLANT. Silky, umami bomb. It is just ridiculously tasty.
* PESTO GENOVESE. Chef Kinch transports you to Genoa with this dish.
* SOPPRESSATA. It’s made with fairy dust. Literally. It’s just comforting.
* DESSERT. Get the Budino or Lemon curd.
This place is just a gem.

Totally unexpectedly delicious. I looked at the menu and saw not a ton of dishes that I felt were innovative or interesting – more generic – but I was so so glad to be proven wholly wrong. The dishes on the menu, although simple, come out almost the platonic ideal of each type of food. Like the bean soup was just amazing – drizzle of high quality of olive oil and the brightness of citrus, the pizzas were super super tomatoey and the anchovies extra fat, the Caesar salad was perfectly dressed and the croutons perfectly crunchy. I had read about the bitterness of the radicchio being sometimes distracting but thankfully there was NO strong bitterness in the radicchio on the day we visited. The passionfruit lemonade was also super refreshing and juicy. I’m actually embarrassed by how much I ended up liking this restaurant – can’t wait to visit again someday.

This experience was amazing! We went at 5 with reservations and they have a dedicated parking lot. Jo really took care of us and the pacing was perfect! She seemed to know exactly when I wanted a second drink (the non alcoholic cocktail was delicious!) and gave excellent recommendations! The food was so delicious and I really enjoyed how hot the food was when it came out. The fresh shaved truffle was delightful and the lemon curd dessert to wrap up was perfect. Really great food and relaxed vibes!

We walked in and were seated at the high stool seating area fairly quickly. Bar stools were uncomfortable after a while which made it hard to fully enjoy our plate. The eggplant appetizer was delicious and while the pizza was fresh with a soft, chewy crust, the toppings tend to slide off the crust and are a bit soggy so you have to eat it quickly after picking it up. Nothing really stood out.

Overall a lovely experience! We had a reservation and the moment we had our party there, they were happy to seat us. The waitress was constantly checking in, which is nice for a big group, and was very kind in answering our many questions.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a rainy evening.
The food was enjoyable by all means, but it did not seem like anything I would be very excited to return for.

Some hits and some misses! The hits were the pizzas and gnocchi and frozen cocktail. We also loved the decor and the service! The misses were the bread and the Caesar salad. Both were ruined by too much bitterness. We had the stracciatella and bread. The cheese had some olive oil on it, which was a little bitter but it worked well, the problem was that the focaccia it was served with was coated in fennel or caraway and the bitterness over powered the whole thing. And I love fennel and caraway, but it did not work in this dish. I imagine how delicious it would be if the focaccia was just topped with a flaky salt! Secondly, the Caesar dressing was great but again, a little bitter. Normally I would love that but the salad was way overdressed and full of bitter/soggy radicchio, which ruined the salad for me. There was also some frisse, one of the worst lettuces, in my opinion. My family usually fights over the salad and we didn’t finish it. I am surprised by the misses, I expected to love everything!

We sat outside at the “beach” on a Saturday afternoon. DJ playing old school R&B was a great vibe. Pizza and an Aperol Spritz was just right on this Summer weekend. We will definitely be returning. Neighboring tables salads and other pizzas looked equally good. Dog friendly. Staff would bring water bowls to each table with dogs. Staff was friendly and attentive, even in the casual outdoor environment.

Their 31 days 31 nights nonalcoholic drink is great! Really enjoyed the Soppressata pizza and eggplant. The fruity gazpacho was refreshing. Duck terrine, especially the cherries were flavorful. Bolognese pasta wasn’t my favorite.

Remains in my opinion one of the handful of truly excellent restaurants in town and on the very short list of somewhere I look forward to going to. Everything is excellent, from the starters to the salads (best Caesar in town IMHO, man those croutons) to the mains. The pizzas are – somewhat surprisingly – ‘only’ very good not great (Delfina, Oak and Rye, Bantam are in my ‘great’ category). Staff is great, service is prompt and friendly.
And, now that the bar at Soif (when run by Matthew) is gone and Alderwood imploded, remains hands down the best bar program in town (runner-up – Bantam).
Oh wait, that’s right, who has been running the bar program for a while now…

We had our rehearsal dinner at Mentone and it was great! Wide variety of food, service was prompt but spaced things out well so we weren’t abruptly deluged in food, service was also attentive but not smothering. Great house cocktails in terms of variety, creativity, and quality. And the food itself? Delicious. I generally don’t like eggplant, but there was an eggplant appetizer that I could have eaten a pound of. Ingredients taste fresh and flavorful. Pizza has a great balance of flavors. Staff all look significantly cooler than me but are so friendly that it doesn’t make me feel lame (half joking about the cooler than me part, completely serious about them being incredibly friendly). Thanks for helping make it a perfect weekend!
