My friends, Diane, Terry, Carol and myself had an amazing experience at the Montage Lobby Lounge on Saturday afternoon, 4/5. Not only did we enjoy the fabulous desserts and Champagne, the staff were also very friendly/welcoming, Keyvon and the team, took excellent care of us and the view was gorgeous. We couldn’t have asked for anything more and we all agreed that our experience was unforgettable. We also spoke with Ben Goldfarb, a manager, he was great and contributed greatly to our 5 star experience. To top off our afternoon, we strolled down to the walking path above the beach and took in more of an up close ocean view.

We will share this experience with our friends and we all plan to return, to possibly treat ourselves to high tea or just relax in the lobby, have some drinks, snacks and enjoy the view. Thank you for helping to make our day so special!

Had a good time at the lobby lounge. They have a good cocktail and wine menu. Asked for house wine and got hit with a $43 per glass tab…it was indeed excellent wine but maybe the staff and I share very different definitions of “house wine”

Horrible. Anna was the worst waitress we have ever had. She took forever to wait on us. When she finally did she promised us waters and snacks. Never did see the snacks after being promised them 3x. Never got a refill on the water I finally got. As soon as she set our drinks down she was asking how we wanted to pay. Ran 2 of our cards and claimed they wouldn’t work asking us to pay cash. Wouldn’t give us any type of reciept. It was the oddest experience. Never again. So sad. Was hoping to return for brunch, but we will go elsewhere.

Each of the appetizers on the menu was very tasteless... one of them was 2 raw asparagus cut into thin strips - disgusting, then we ordered tuna tartare which was also terrible and we left it at that. The service was arrogant!!! Nice place, beautiful view, unfortunately not the rest

Nice place for afternoon coffee. Good dessert, great cappuccino, and plenty of seats.

I thought that I had experienced hospitality prior to my stay at the Montage and my drinks at the Lobby Lounge. I was mistaken. I have felt more loved and at home at the Montage, and Lobby Lounge, than I have in my entire life. The staff here is the absolute best in the world, bar none. The level at which this staff operates is truly a blessing to be able to behold. Everyone was the absolute pinnacle of service, however, Sadie and Kris went above and beyond my wildest expectations. The warmth and hospitality that these employees provided was something I didn't even know existed in this world. I just got back from St. John a week ago, and that didn't have a damn thing on the staff here. This is the best bar in the world, with the best staff in the world, with the most lovingly crafter cocktails and conversation in the world. Bar none. I will frequent this establishment until the day I die. I'm personally agnostic, but GOD BLESS the staff at the Lobby Lounge and the entire staff of the Montage. Changed my life.

Great service, pleasant and cozy atmosphere

It was a lovely afternoon. I think it's a bit expensive for what it is but it's nice none the less.

The food was not fresh, seems like it was ordered from a bakery and brought in. There were too many sweets and not enough savories at the tea. Tea was not refreshed after it got cold. It was $500 for three people to have what amounted to half a sandwich each and too many stale sweets.

Ukrainian cocktail waitress offered us free champagne for making us wait for a 16-person party to place their orders and get their drinks, and then renegged when we asked her to cash in on the offer…like why even say anything in the first place

Great view! Loved the tea selection! Perfect combination between savory and sweets! Recommend for ladies get together! ❤️🫖

Nice classy ambiance but extremely overpriced. I guess that’s part of the vibe… everyone knows they are drinking overpriced cocktails ? The cheapest drink on the menu is the lemon drop martini which is $21. There’s a $50 and even an $80 cocktail if you’re into that sort of thing! But it’s a really big place with an amazing view, fireplace, lots of different outdoor and indoor seating… couches, comfy chairs, tables, etc. Live piano player. Fun to watch people filtering in and out of the hotel.
