Been to Monet’s a couple of times but this time a little disappointing. Service was not up to their standards. The Lavender Brie was not the best. Very little Brie.Very different from the other two times. My Crocque Monsieur was very dry and the cheese seemed to be curdled. Dissatisfied which was sad because we like the atmosphere and wine selection .We learned what a no cash adjustment means. At the end of our receipt we noticed a surcharge, a percentage of our bill added on for using a credit card or ATM card. To my knowledge we alway thought ATM is considered cash! If paying by cash no charge. Anyway we will take a break from Monet’s .
Monet’s has a cozy neighborhood feel. The sound of a jazz musician playing standards on clarinet added to the appeal. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were offered multiple small tastes of the owners’ favorite wines from lesser known boutique wineries. And the opportunity to pair with our lobster appetizer and the chicken cordon bleu. The homemade bread was crisp and tender. The risotto was sublime. The wine regions conversation with Jennifer was elucidating. We only need a personal helicopter to return often from our home in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Merci! Merci!
Boring and not tasty food for such a wonderful ambiance. Everything was heavy. The linguini was drowing in tasteless butternut squash sauce. Salmon was overbaked. Burger perhaps the classic would’ve been better. Definitely avoid brie and peach add ons. And to make matters worse they charge more than the best restaurants in LA.
Great little wine bar. Nice wine and food choices. Wished we were more hungry when we went. The lavender brie appetizer is delightful as was the crème brûlée. We would definitely be regulars if we lived near this little gem.

The clarinet player was great and a good touch to the good ambience. The menu is trying but not quite there, considering the price. Everything was overcooked, but the flavors were on point.
Monet's is amazing. The service is always great. We like to dress up and it makes the little place seem way more fancy. The live music is nice, not too loud and always just the right vibe.
Fantastic experience Attentive waitresses A delicious moment just like the dishes You can go there with your eyes closed!! Very good experience enjoy

The owner and staff were phenomenal. Great place to go with friends because it's so easy to sit and chat.
By far the best European restaurant I’ve eaten at in the US. And that’s coming from a European.
