The fries were good enough and the sauces were quite good. I was really disappointed with the ribs. I sent them with a friend for their dogs. The service was excellent.

Everything I tasted was stunning, from the expertly smoked meats to the innovative craft cocktails and spirits. They also make sure to have some top notch beers and ciders on tap at all times, and host live music regularly with no cover. The servers were all wonderful, and I look forward to getting back down there again to treat myself. 11/10 would recommend, don't sleep on this place.

I just went nuts with photos, and I was so happy that we have the house all to ourselves, so I can roam around, just taking photos, inside and outside the garden.

The tub, hubby has to hold my hand, so I won't slip coming out of the tub. Everything else was GREAT & DANDY! The food. The service. The views to the garden and the park. The gazebo. The Rose Garden, the Clematis, the scented Jasmine. It's a HISTORIC mansion! It's my temporary HEAVEN as I am here! Then, I wake up, and we're back home, back to reality, kinda thing!

The house itself was gorgeous and was exactly what I was looking for to celebrate my birthday on April 29th! The bear claw soaking tub along with the lounge couch and starry ceilings were my favorite part! Eli and Emily were awesome. You could tell they loved what they do for a living and the breakfast Emily cooked for us was exquisite. I felt like we were eating food from a fancy hotel restaurant and couldn't have asked for a better way to finish off our B&B experience. Although we didn't get to meet the resident cats, we left feeling blessed and would recommend this place to our family and friends. Thanks Eli and Emily for a memorable experience!

The wait staff were great and very helpful. Hazel's is right on a corner and not far from the park in town. Dark, but not too dark. Love their bar. Very antique looking. Just right. Why a four? Each of our dishes were $26.00 and nothing besides the entree. For the amount of food that is $8.00 too much. Monmouth seems to either have expensive restaurants or fast food places, nothing in between. Just an FYI.
