I thought the place was going to be old and dingy for some reason but it was beautiful. Great location and parking. Quiet and out of the busy traffic. Very bright and up to date. Its traditional yet modern. Not too many places pamper you with nice table settings and decor. The music was pleasant. Staff well dressed and groomed. The food was right on. Menus were clean and easy to read.
I ordered a mojito and the mint was picked fresh. The assorted breads were warm and flavorful. The service was right on. The pace was relaxed.
No rush. The server's timing was perfect.
Nearby table of guests was way too loud but we can't control the manners of others.
The restaurant accepts reservations and the host greets you at the door. She actually opens the door for you.
Oh... The portions are really large so think about taking some home.
Monroeville is lucky to have a nice place like this.
I will go again. I haven't tried the dessert yet.
