It's pretty rare that a restaurant absolutely wows me, but Monet's did just that. Wow. Just wow. The ambiance, the decor, the live music, the romantic lighting, the cleanliness and especially the food, drinks and service were all top notch. Wether you live in the area or are staying nearby to visit Sequia and/or Kings National Park (as I was), do yourself a favor and stop by Monet's. The restaurant is very quaint, cozy, well appointed and the atmosphere is classy and romantic. Lighting is dim and candles appoint each table. I'm not sure if it's a usual occurrence, but we were very fortunate to have a live music via an excellent clarinet player. He was a fantastic accompaniment to the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She was great at answering questions and keeping our drinks refilled. We ordered a charcuterie cheese board as an appetizer, a burger and french onion soup for entrees and polished it all off with an insanely good creme brulee. The charcuterie board arrived first. If you are a fan of meat/cheese boards, you can't miss this. It was one of the best I've EVER had. Everything looked and tasted fresh. The side of jam was especially tasty and sweet and a nice addition to the delectable cheese and meats. Next up were the burger and french onion soup. For starters, kudos to the chef for cooking the burger to perfection. I requested the burger to be cooked medium, which is typically pink throughout, and that's what I got. Like the charcuterie board, the burger and side salad tasted very fresh. It was all excellent. As for the soup, it tasted like it had wine mixed in with the broth. It was also fantastic. I was already pretty full after the appetizer and entree but with how great everything had been, we decided not to pass up on desert. We went with the creme brulee. And so should you. Like everything else at Monet, the creme brulee didn't disappoint. It was creamy and not overly sweet. The crisp cooked sugar surface was adorned by fresh whipped creme. It was definitely a good way to end the meal. Overall, if you're in the area and in search of an excellent meal and/or a romantic spot for a date with someone special, look no further. Monet has excellent food, great ambiance and quality service. read more
