From the moment I reached out to Eden Garden to plan our event, the experience was fantastic. The communication with Arthur to reserve our party details was easy and straightforward. At no point did I feel like I was being upsold on anything. He provided me with his honest opinions which allowed me to make my own decisions. As soon as we arrived for our event, we were greeted by friendly and attentive wait staff led by Koko. Koko was extremely professional throughout the evening, ensuring our guests were well taken care of. Everyone enjoyed the fantastic food, service, and live entertainment. We will undoubtedly consider Eden Garden for all our future celebrations. Thank you for facilitating such an enjoyable evening and creating a truly memorable experience for our family.

Diplomat is a Mediterranean restaurant in the Old Town Monrovia area…read more I came on a Friday lunch early lunch without a reservation and was able to get seated quickly. When I left, the tables got packed. I tried the platter for two, which came with a load of delicious rice, three proteins, roasted tomatoes and peppers. I enjoyed pairing it with their tahini and garlic sauces. The service and hospitality were amazing. Shout out to Ari, she is the best and really made my dining experience seamless. From recommendations, to check-ins, to bringing sauces for my table to try, it felt personable. The interior is perfect for families, dates, and catching up. It's casual but feels elevated. Overall, I had a great dining experience here and I'd recommend others to visit.

We were traveling nearby and saw that The Diplomat had a 5-star rating. Having now eaten there I…read morecan confirm that it is deserved. The food is delicious and the prices are appropriate given the portion sizes. Service was prompt and professional. Parking might be a challenge, though there are public lots within a block or two. We went on a Friday night and encountered heavy traffic from the local farmer's market/fair. The best item was the Beef kabob, 5 out of 5 stars. It was perfectly cooked, a very simply salt and pepper seasoning, juicy and simply divine! We got the kids meal, which came with only 4 pieces, and I'd be interested to return for the full adult portion. Also a 5-star experience was the Fried cauliflower appetizer. It had just the right amount of crispiness, without any blackening, and the garlic/parsley/lemon juice combo worked well. The juice was sucked into all the crevices, and overall it was light. I think I could have eaten two portions myself and called it a satisfying meal. I did dip in some tzatziki, which worked great too! Lastly the Chicken shawarma was a 4-star dish. Still delicious and I'd get it again, but it was slightly salty from the marinade and added sauce. I was expecting this to be wrapped up, but it was more an open-face naan with the chicken covering the top. Rice pilaf was savory, I'd rather not know just how many calories are included, the rice was still moist even after reheating the next day.

After having gone here for the past couple years and seeing the review mentioning them not being positively responsive about whether or not they were open during the Covid 19 pandemic; I figured I'd give it a try to reach out and see if they were open for business. The owner answered and explained that they were, technically, closed because of the quarantine guidelines. However, he asked if I would be willing to meet him the next morning in his parking lot. I gave him my list of things we needed and he was there, texting me to let me know, earlier than arranged. Terrific! I'll be right over! Since then, presumably because we had such a pleasant exchange, I'm disabled and have been a regular; he occasionally would check in to see if I needed more cigarettes for my fiance or anything else. Something that was nice since during my first call with him I'd explained it was more cost effective for my pocketbook to be able to buy by the cartons, as opposed to single packs as the gas stations refused to sell by the carton making my fiance's habit more costly than usual. I can tell you from experience that he has reopened even though his doors are locked. Because if current Covid conditions, he is answering to knocked on his security door from the parking lot entrance. Tell him what you need and he'll get your items and provide you with your total. Heck, call ahead and speak with him nicely; he'll most likely have your order ready by the time you've told him you intend to be there and it's a nice, quick and easy process.

It's just off one of the Main Street. I haven't spent anytime in this city so everything was all new to me. We found street parking right out front but did noticed when we got inside that they had a parking lot out back. The place isn't that big. A dive bar of sort but was quite nice. One side is the bar and counter while the other side host three pool tables. There's also a couple of hi top table in the middle. They did offer happy hour everyday from 4-8 pm with free pool. And free pool Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Drinks specials offered as well. We only popped in for a drink which was glad to know that happy hour was happening. The bartender behind was sweet. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. Bartender and a couple people utilizing the pool table. It was pretty chill but I'm sure it can get busy later on in the evening. Drinks specials offered were quite nice for the price. We also tried their spicy margaritas which was great. Bartender knows his skills. Also, a quick round of pool. The vibe was mellow and chill. Don't know if the music changes often but it was somewhat metal that was going on when we walked in. Crowd was great as they were all there for the same reason. Drinks and pool. Overall, it was a cool place for a pint and pool. Somewhere people meet up for drinks.
