Monte Cristo - Offenbach am Main

We visited this restaurant with a friend who had been 5 years previously, she said it was excellent. It is no longer excellent! the service started great and ended as a 0 star as the waitress hid in the kitchen and had no interest in serving the table. Ran out of beer, could not offer items that were on the menu. The stuffed chicken breast with mushroom was not a breast and resembled a scotch egg with missing egg. Deep fried and the sauteed potatoes were deep fried wedges. Over priced drinks!!! Over priced food!! There was no point in complaining as it was clear that they had no interest in the quality of food and customer satisfaction.

I have been to many Russian, Ukrainian and Georgian restaurants and I have to say that Monte Cristo is the worst one I have ever tried. This place is extremely overpriced and the food is very bad. I wouldn't mind paying the price if the food was good. Besides the food there is live music time to time. It is a very loud disco music, back from the soviet union times. The Singer is just reading the text from the computer like in Karaoke and tries to sing. It is so loud, that you can't even talk during the dinner. If you are a lot of people, they first bring a lot of salads and only couple of hours later comes the real food. So by the time food arrives, you are not hungry anymore. There is a smoking area on the second floor. Because of the loud music, half of the people are standing there as it is not possible to talk while sitting at the table. I will never go to this place again. If you are looking for a good Russian Ukrainian restaurant in Frankfurt, you can try Watra. Its much better and cheaper.

This is probably on of the best restaurants so far in Germany. Great service, great food. Excellent. Highly recommend.

Ich war mehrfach hier und habe unterschiedliche Erfahrungen gemacht. Zuletzt war ich oben im Salon zu einer privaten Veranstalung eingeladen, das war hervorragend. Die Qualität vom Essen war ausgezeichnet , kein Vergleich zum ersten Mal im Restaurant im Keller. Die Leistung der Küche und Service scheint tagesformabhängig zu sein. Aufgrund der aktuellen Erfahrung kann ich das Lokal empfehlen und würde selbst auch wieder hingehen

The evening started well and the waitress was very helpful ... but it seemed that not everything on the menu was available ... they soon ran out of beer ... apparently there were only 9 beers. Main coarse was not good for everyone. Well stuffed chicken was a disaster and the chicken kebab was less than average. Wine was well over priced. The waitress disappeared after serving main and wasn't seen again for about an hour. There were only 2 or 3 other tables were in use being served by another waitress. In the end we had to go and get the bill because our waitress would not come to the table.
