    Very tasty food. We had the Feed Me banquet option. I will say the portion sizes were a little small. But the flavours were great. We'll be back.

    The Mona’s rebirth is a welcome change to pub grub in the area. It’s not Gastro Pub in style but it’s better than your staple As everything is made with what appears to be quality produce cooked just right and the service is very warm, helpful and prompt no fuss and there’s a nice tone to the way staff work as a team for us the patrons.

    What an incredible experience. From the moment I booked online, until I left. I can’t fault the restaurant, the staff were courteous, very attentive and accommodating. The food was tasty, different and delicious. The ambiance was soft sweet and had a good vibe. Sitting out doors, was cosy!!! Yep directly under a heater! The decor, tables, chairs was very old style yet fashionable and very delicate.. it’s a must..the price is quite reasonable.
