So in town on business and the locals in Abbeville was just not that great. So I open my Yelp app and 20 minutes away is this gem (Montagues). When you walk in nothing fancy, a bar and some tables on the side. But behind the bar is a very decent dinning area. I chose the bar for it's just me. Started off with an old fashion, appetizer the garlic parmesan wings (very tiny wings) 6.5 out of 10. My entree an 8 0z salmon with the Brussels sprouts glazed in balsamic and bacon. I gave it an 8 out 10 only because she brought both dishes at the same time, by the time I finished my wings the entrée wasn't as hot as it should've been. The live music was cool, the overall experience 8 out of 10. But compare to the town Abbeville definitely worth the drive. Kudos to this establishment for having decent drinks and food. If I'm ever in town again definitely will be stopping in. read more

Went for dinner. Pretty good steak (ribeye) and brussel sprouts. Also good Thai chicken. I was disappointed that the asparagus I ordered as a side with my steak was like four stalks. I got coffee to drink. Overall the steak was cooked just like I asked medium rare and the flavor was decent. But for the price expected a little more and more asparagus. read more

We came to Montague's to celebrate my aunts birthday and had previously been for a dinner prior to making a reservation again. Reservations were easy to make, and helpful when arriving as we were greeted by last name once we arrived. Amazing service. I ordered the Bourbon Sour as a drink and it was so smooth, fully bodied and yet light. Perfect mix of bourbon and the tartness of the sour mix. Next, for the appetizer, I ordered the Thai Chicken bites as they were a recommendation from the waitress to do so. They came out super quick, but they were full of flavor, perfectly tender, and not overly saucey. It was great to have as a protein option before dinner. Dinner came out quickly with the table ordering a Ribeye, Seafood Charleston, and Chicken Ellen. For the Chicken Ellen, it was hands down the best chicken breasts packed with flavor and perfectly moist. Adding sides for Brussels sprouts and asparagus was an elegant magic with the cream sauce. Talk about a match made in heaven with the crispy light and airy Brussel sprouts. Such a great recommendation pairing by our waitress! I wish we had enough room for dessert because the options sounded amazing, but I was too full to indulge. Highly recommend! read more

Wow, what a surprise! Great atmosphere, wonderful food. Ordered small plates for our table of four and thoroughly enjoyed it! Kimberely did a great job of taking care of us and we could not have had a better experience. If you're in Greenwood, I would not miss this place! read more

Great food and ambiance. It was full of nice people. I had a steak, broccoli, and a stuffed potato and it was all wonderful. I definitely recommend this place for dinner. read more

Food average, service average, ambiance lousy as two tables mentioned to the waiter and waitress that it was too cold, and it stayed too cold! Received final bill without itemization, and it was much higher than I expected. I had to ask for an itemized bill which showed a 20% Service Fee added and a credit card usage fee. Neither fee was mentioned anywhere on the menu or by our waitress prior to ordering. The credit card bill showed that the service fee $$$ amount was the 20% tip level. So, IF I tip, it cost me 40% of the bill? NOT!!! I was never asked if I wanted to pay cash which I would have done IF I had known that there was card fee. I have no problem with REASONABLE service fees or card fees as long as the business is upfront and informs me of those fees. This business was not upfront and did not inform me, thus I will not return. read more

Great food, fantastic service and fun atmosphere Lunches are great and very reasonably priced.

We had a great experience here. Very good food and friendly service. Ambiance pretty nice also. read more

Food and service was very good. The dining room was noisy but maybe it won't be next time!

A variety of American entrees, salads and sides are available cooked to your specifications. Drinks are available at the bar or while dining at a table or private area for groups. The service is great, food prepared well and nice ambiance for fine dining. read more

This was my first time in Greenwood. We visited Montague on a Wednesday night in 2 large groups. The staff was very polite in trying to seat us all together. They say 1/2 of us in a private dining section which was great. Our waiter was forthcoming asking that we be a little patient with the wait for our food since the group was larger and we didn't have reservations. No problem for our group since that was explained up front. They even allowed our 2 large groups to combine mid-dining. I ordered the Seafood Charleston which was delicious and everyone else's meals looked amazing too. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area. read more

High prices, and I would say worth it! The service my wife and I had on our date was pretty incredible. The waiter helped her navigate the menu to select some non-dairy options for her allergy - he even brought out some non-buttered rolls for her fresh out of the oven! So thoughtful. We enjoyed a couple glasses of wine each - fairly priced and BIG POURS! We both had the salmon, which was cooked perfectly, and all of our sides were delicious. I will say that it took a while for the food to come out, but I have some POSITIVE thoughts about that: 1) My wife and I were on our first date away from our newborn while her grandparents watched over her. We wanted that to last as long as it could! 2) We shared good wine and good conversation, so we weren't in a hurry. 3) It's likely during COVID-19 that the kitchen isn't as staffed as normal. And though it was slower... 4) Our fish and sides came out perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the waiter had the kitchen prep a special sauce for my wife's dish that is off menu and dairy free. (Quick note - although we order salmon medium at all restaurants, my wife's salmon has come out raw at the last 3-4 restaurants we've been to. Not having to send back her dish was REFRESHING.) I wish I could remember waiter's name - he was kind, helpful, and went the second mile for my wife, which allowed me to relax and enjoy looking at her enjoying dinner. Thanks Montague's for the perfect first date as a new mom and dad! read more

Food was delicious, service was exceptional. Great atmosphere. Had special requests for one of the entree's and they were accommodating.

This is our favorite restaurant in Greenwood, SC. Very consistently great, from the service, to the food, to the specials..... they are really good at what they do. Bartenders make a superb Cosmopolitan and they have a small but carefully selected wine list. Worth every $. Our favorites are many, you can't go wrong with their beef, chicken, or seafood selections. I can't wait to visit again soon. read more

Wonderful place to sit back for a drink with friends, celebrate a birthday or enjoy a romantic dinner. The servers, cooks, and owners are well experienced in their jobs and you'll get top notch service. The food ranges from comforting and familiar or new and exciting, no matter what you get, it's gonna be a meal you remember. read more

Very nice environment and friendly staff, we went for Valentine's Day and granted the staff was a little slow but I can understand why. The food was absolutely delicious and the steak was perfect. Brussels sprouts are 10/10. A little on the expensive side but overall was worth it:) read more

This place is great. It is our go to for special occasions. We are always treated like we are in a five star restaurant.

Superb food!! The Thai chicken bites were just a great way to start out the evening! A group of 8 went to dinner, ordering several entrees and everyone had only one word - delicious!! If you're in Greenwood,SC... check them out :) read more

Talk about don't judge a book by its cover! Absolutely delicious! Service was a little on the slow side but the delicious food more than made up for it! read more

Ate here for our anniversary dinner in April during our trip to Lake Greenwood. (Not easy finding places open Sunday or Monday nights this time of year!) Casual but classy. Food is upscale. Food was great, but portions maybe a little small. Great service. read more

Customer service was awesome from the time we walked in to the time we left! Our waiter let us know when we ordered that the food would take a while because there were larger parties ahead of us. Not a big deal for me and my two friends. Our food was so good, drinks were yummy. My friend's order wasn't correct and they brought it out correctly, quickly, and apologetically the second time. I can't wait to go back! read more

Amazing bourbon selection! The prime rib is awesome, especially if you get it done Pittsburgh style! Twice baked potatoes are very good! The fried brussel sprouts app is incredible!! read more

The food was excellent, the young man serving was excellent and ambiance didn't matter. They have a nice bar area and entertainment on the weekends. We will be going back for sure. read more

Great service and food. Accommodated various nutritional needs and allergy. Would highly recommend

Where to begin ?? So we went on a Saturday night with a party of 17 New York/ New Jersey family members. We called ahead 2 hours to set up the large party reservation. We are all open minded and we're definitely not trying to be foodie snobs. So it's nice inside. Romantic cozy decor. It's located in a strip mall, that is kind of lonely and a bit run down. We were in town for a 90th birthday party and everyone was looking forward to a nice meal. I'll admit that a relative recommended this place but he hadn't been there in a few years. And he said it was the best restaurant in town a few years ago . So here we go. We were seated , the restaurant was not very busy. It took 50 minutes to get menus. The waiter tried his best but this place cannot handle a large table. Four people got the crab bisque, it was inedible. Incredibly salty. Don't even understand how they were able to serve this. Does the chef not check on the tastes of his dishes ? For entrees , it took a total of two hours to get our food. Many mistakes were made like wrong sizes served. I got seared tuna. It was refrigerator cold inside. We ordered many of the entrees and no dish really stood out.,And several were just bad. Avoid tuna , salmon , shrimp. I'd say just avoid this place completely. We asked to speak to the manager twice. He never showed. Absolutely horrible experience. This place is not long for business. Lesson learned. Next time override opinions of family members and check Yelp. Sorry for my grammar peeps. But I'm pissed off and still hungry. read more

I've been trying to think of a reason I would dine here again, and the best I can come up with is - if I was ever in the mood for a very slow evening with mediocre food in a dreary dining room. The food was edible, but was nothing special at all. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't above average. When we walked in, the bar almost had that worn-in, iconic local history feel, but as we walked further in, that feeling quickly left. The local after work regulars sat at the bar. Walking into the dining room, again you wanted to feel that local iconic history place feeling - but again, it's just doesn't fully form. Instead you are left feeling like the place is struggling to stay in business. The entire interior is dated and worn. Two servers struggled to serve 11 diners across 5 tables. Ours was very nice, just slow. The bar seems to be this spots life preserver, but it wasn't even crowded, busy, or even close to capacity. Everything here needs a make over - the menu, kitchen skills, and decor. It is also over priced for the quality of food. Go to Polo's or Pascals instead. read more

Food was good not great. The servers were accommodating, friendly and friendly. It was an hour and 15 minutes before our entrees were served. The wait was too long to be acceptable or worth the wait. read more

I ordered a dinner salad with salmon. The salmon was very good, but the salad was not (weird). The server was very pleasant and helpful - I liked her a lot. The owner or manager, and some other staff were nearby and kind of loud and crabby. It made the experience a bit rocky. read more

It's like the last hurrah of Mad Men. Awesome boardroom atmosphere, and great nouveau-cuisine-ish food. I'd definitely go back! read more

We loved this place. Service was great. My salmon was cooked perfect. Shrimp was also very good. Will definitely come back.

This is the best date night spot! Delicious food, wonderful service, and live music make this place a Greenwood favorite. Jeromy was so personable and recommended the best dishes. Shrimp and scallops in the seafood Charleston were cooked perfectly and left me craving it days after we left. Will definitely be returning! read more

Wondering if there was new kitchen staff. It took a long time to get an appetizer and main dishes. It would have been very beneficial to have more bar help to cater to customers. Ended this visit with okay food, poor service and an over charged check. read more

Yummy food and very friendly staff! They always have delicious and creative specials and deals for the community to enjoy.

I was not really impressed by the food here. The service was very slow. The front end of the restaurant wasn't well staff. There was only one waitress for the entire front end it seemed like. I didn't mind the wait as much because I noticed the single waitress tending to all the patrons in the front. However, when the food came out, my friend and I were pretty disappointed. I got the shrimp & grits and my friend got the risotto. Taste-wise, both dishes were mediocre. They weren't necessarily bad but they weren't necessarily good. Overall, I was simply disappointed. I might give this restaurant another chance in the future but as for now, I probably won't be back here for a while. read more

We went with a large group and Jay served us. He provided GREAT service and recommendations. I had a seasonal item, Summer Shrimp Pasta, and it was light and savory. Loved it. Also the Moscato Punch drink was so yummy! If we are in town again we would love to return. read more

Been many times and not once disappointed. Miss the place and Walt, the man behind the bar!

This is one of the top restaurants in greenwood the reviews just don't do this justice. This is a local dine in restaurant. This place is part of the community. We love this spot. So if you are from out of town and want a good gourmet food this is the place. If every local customer posted in yelp this place would be over 4 stars. For all the negative reviews is hog wash and spoiled picky customers with no taste. We eat here over numerous times a year and will continue because of the service and chefs. read more

Montague's is ok. I think it is a little more thought of then what it should be. The restaurant is a little dated and the food is ok. I was told it is one of the best "high end" restaurants in Greenwood, and it may be, but the menu and quality to not hold up to what you see in larger cities. It's with going to if you live in Greenwood, but if you are expecting true cuisine, you may want to take a trip to Greenville. read more

A welcoming staff and comfortable atmoshere. I am a business traveller and appreciate an excellent meal at a reasonable price.The first visit was a YELP lead the second night was the excellent meal bringing me back! read more

Went here with a group of 5. Was by far the worst meal I've ever had out. This place is way over rated and over priced. Had the oysters Rockefeller for apps, they were just ok, nothing special. Had the 7oz steak which they did comp us for because they were so bad. Grilled Asparagus was pretty much raw. The speciality chicken dish which was suppose to have crab, none could be found on two dishes, was no more the size of a chicken nugget. I.can't believe any chef would have sent those plates to any table. I did rate a 2 only because the service was very very good. I really wanted to like this place, and went there because of the high rating on yelp. So so disappointed. read more
