The Blue Horizon is the best Diner in monticello. This place has been around forever and the pictures of celebrities on the walls will prove that. The place is very clean, good service, and there is no smoking allowed inside anymore. I am a smoker but I hate the smell of smoke while Im eating. I just had a brunch with 13 of my co workers here and the everyone was very nice, the waitress was under pressure and still kept a smile and didnt mess anything up. Every table was full and the woman was always right there bringing us anything and everything even if we didnt ask. Great service, Great Attitudes, I remember coming here after my prom and nothing has changed well maybe a few faces but thats it. They have the best Breakfast menu around. A+

A good bet for decent food in Monticello, The Blue Horizon, which has been around for quite some time, is a glass-chrome palace with Greek accoutrements. Their dinner specials are quite numerous, a bit pricey but very filling, and the food is acceptable. I love their bison burger platter. Their broiled fish specials are quite nice, but the fish is poached in butter, so don't expect it to be healthy. Their pasta tastes like Buitoni and Ragu, so avoid it. Their breakfast menu is top notch (pancakes are a dream) but the omelettes are made with so much butter that my stomach was knotted for hours. There are two dining areas. The nonsmoking area feels like a restaurant, but the smoking area feels like a diner. I actually prefer the smoking area's ambiance, and service, but the ventilation needs some improvement. The service in the nonsmoking area is slow, and the carpet needs cleaning.
