    Call ahead of time if prefer to sit inside. Serve two time periods during lunch time. Calculate your arrival time accordingly.

    Wonderful outdoor seating.

    There are very few times when I have left a restaurant with plans of an immediate return. After eating, I had tried to make a dinner reservation for my birthday. Unfortunately, when I asked, I was informed that Monet's Table does not serve dinner. The hostess did tell me that they serve an amazing brunch. I will definitely be back to confirm this. My son and I were on vacation from school and work, so we were completing our week of day trips. When my son said that he wanted a BLT, I went to Yelp in search of a new place. Off the beaten path and in the most beautiful location, we found Monet's Table. Like any 10 year old, my son had requested that we eat outside. We were seated at a small garden table surrounded by flowers and bumblebees. There were about 5 tables of families in a small area, but it was still quite quiet and relaxing. The waitress as well as the others who had helped with delivery and cleanup were helpful and friendly. Orders were taken and food was delivered quickly. My son's BLT was served with a small dish of pasta salad. He was very happy with his sandwich but not a huge fan of the salad. It was a little fancier than what he's used to. I had ordered the shrimp skewers over a grain salad with watermelon, mint and feta. The salad complemented the skewers perfectly. Having saved room for dessert we splurged on a key lime crepe and lava cake. Both were delicious. On our way out one of the incredibly nice employees told us about the chickens on the property. She gave us some feed and let us feed the chickens. Pretty soon they will be producing eggs that will be used for the restaurant. I would highly recommend a visit in the warmer months if you enjoy outdoor dining. I hope to be back in a few weeks to experience the indoor dining.

    Came here again, still great food at high prices. It's very relaxed and comfortable, and service is relatively quick. Worth a try if you're in the area, good bites but nothing trek worthy

    Chocolate cake dessert from winter daily specials

    Really loved this place! Ordered a cheddar melt with pear and bacon as well as the chicken vegetable soup. We were convinced for dessert where I got the chocolate cake special and my friend ordered the Russian panna cotta. Both were so delicious! Ambience is cute as it feels like you're in someone's home. Waitress was great, and very quick service. Definitely recommend if you need a unique, fresh ingredient-filled lunch in tolland county!

    It was such a delight to have lunch at Monet's Table in Tolland! Their menu is divine, with everything sounding scrumptious for omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. They do offer LuAnn's gluten-free bread as a substitute, too. The restaurant is open 11:30am-2:30pm on Wednesdays through Fridays, and Saturdays from 9am-2pm (there's a brunch on Saturdays that I absolutely must try). I love that the location feels very "away from it all" and yet is just a couple minutes from several busy local routes. My friend and I arrived about noon--along with almost a dozen people, mostly retirees, but a couple young families arrived later. Not a worry about overcrowding as there were indoor and outdoor tables to fit everyone. We headed straight to the outdoor seating, and a very polite man took us to a lovely umbrella-covered table in the garden. What a beautiful setting! Gorgeous flowers and hosta, and a little water feature amidst the plants. This was the best outdoor eating experience I've had in a long while. Our server and host were so professional, polite, and welcoming. They were very knowledgeable about Monet's Table and the menus and offerings, specials, and substitutions. Though there were a lot of us descending on the place at once, we were well taken care of! The hardest thing was to decide what to eat, as everything sounded fabulous. My friend got Moroccan Kebabs (she chose tofu over the shrimp option) which came with watermelon, feta, and mint tabbouleh; one of the soup specials; and a slice of their Anadama bread. She also had a little pot of Harney & Sons tea (my fave brand ever). I chose the Vegan Black Bean & Sweet Potato Burger on vegan Andama bread with greens & tomatoes, and a side of chipotle aioli. I also had the ginger lemon unsweetened iced tea, which was very refreshing! My friend raved about her dish and the way the flavors worked well with the tabbouleh. A perfect savory/sweet/tangy combination that I am going to order next time. We both found the toasted Anadama bread to have a very lightly sweet molasses taste. It also paired beautifully with my black bean and sweet potato burger. Soooooo good. All the while, we enjoyed a leisurely conversation, never once feeling rushed along. People arrived, people left, and there seemed to always be a couple tables open at any given time. It was a cooler afternoon than anticipated day, so I'm sure a fair amount of diners chose to eat indoors. Anyway, we had a great time eating great food in great surroundings. We did consider dessert (they all sounded amazing & fresh) but saved that for another visit. Monet's Table is going to be in my top 5 go-to spots through summer! Maybe I'll see you there? Definitely give it a go!

    I've driven by this cute place several times. Today, I was invited by my neighbor and friend. We sat outside in a cute gazebo, flowers and plants all around. It's such a beautiful setup. We went inside to take a peek as well. Very inviting and comfortable environment. The menu is short and sweet. Those make the best restaurants, honestly. I had one of the soup specials that was a curried cauliflower soup. It was different and very good, along with a grilled cheese that was perfectly cooked. The bread was crispy yet soft as you bit into it, the cheese gooey and melted nicely, and the tomato and bacon were the perfect compliment. It was also served with a type of cold noodle/macaroni salad that tasted refreshing. My friend ordered the Quiche, a large piece, and she enjoyed it.

    Green eggs and ham

    Service was great and ambiance! Food was alright for the price though they sure do make it look pretty.

    I've been here once before and enjoyed it. This visit was a bit off. We were seated promptly and given water. The next time , meeting our waitress, came quite a bit after. This place is known for its delicious eggs Benedict's. I could not wait to have their traditional! The waitress mentioned that unfortunately anything with hollandaise. That was a bit of a bummer. We ordered drinks and food right away. I had to redirect and ordered an omelet with cheddar, mushrooms and onions It was about 25 min later that we received our drink. Our waitress was also our bartender at a completely packed place. About 45 min later we got our food. Mine was ok. The Bloody Mary was pretty tasty. I know the folks had to leave to get a plane. It showed and she apologized. I'm empathetic to the situation but I think my hopes of the hollandaise I had been dreaming off really made this a 3 star for me.

    Stopped in for a quick lunch with my husband. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was cute. We split both meals and we really enjoyed the crab artichoke melt.

    Chickens out back

    Cute "homey" feel at Monet's table. Food looked/tasted nice and fresh. Chickens outside which I'm assuming they get eggs from! Portion sizes were pretty spot on. $12 for a breakfast wrap and $7 for home fries with bacon and cheese. Service was a tad slow. For parties of 6 or more a 20% gratuity is included in your check and no check splitting. Would recommend going here

    Nice outside ambience!

    We were looking for a brunch or lunch venue on our drive to Litchfield, CT, and found a 4.5-star Yelp reviewed restaurant called Monet's Table. Monet's Table has limited restaurant hours, as they also have a busy catering business. The restaurant is situated in a 1750 Farmhouse at 167 Tolland Stage Road in Tolland and has all the rustic charm one would hope to find at this type of establishment. It was moderately busy as we arrived close to Noon on a warm Saturday. We were immediately seated and our waitress arrived promptly to explain review the menu. Candidly, it was difficult to choose as they provided so many interesting choices. We finally opted for the Eggs Benedict Thermador and the Eggs Benedict Mignon. The menu says that these dishes are server over toast. However, this is a radical understatement as they provide a thick piece of homemade toast that is light and delicious. My filet mignon was served perfectly medium (pink inside) and was tender and tasty. The Bearnaise sauce was awesome! The thermador was equally delicious with small pieces of lobster, asparagus and a tasty Bechamel sauce. Though these dishes were sufficiently large, I was left wanting more! A quick visit to their website will demonstrate that Monet's Table focuses much more on food presentation than on digital presentation, and I didn't see a restaurant menu on the site (Dear Monet's Table, your copyright says 2007-2017, but your website looks like it was last updated in 2007!). However, there are some photos of the menu on Yelp. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant, as I'd love to be a regular here. I strongly recommend Monet's Table for brunch and lunch lovers. And note that they are not open for dinner.

Where do I start?! One thing I love about J Rego's is the quality of their menu; meals are always unique and truly make J Rego's stand FAR apart from other food spots in this part of CT. Yes, they offer the very best of your favorite restaurant classics, but they also add high-end, high-quality options that you cannot find anywhere else in the area. They do weekly specials (check their Instagram or call!) that always blow my mind. I literally stalk their social media each week waiting for their new options! Having J Rego's so close to home is a hazard for my self control!! And the Espresso Martinis?! Don't get me started! Delicious, high-class, and absolutely addicting. One VERY notable details about J Rego's: -- They have a FANTASTIC outdoor dining area. We enjoy it frequently in the summer, and they also set up a tent & space heaters for the colder months. Check their IG for live music on the weekends! Today, I sent my parents to J Rego's for a lunch date. They were BLOWN AWAY! It was definitely a home run recommendation.

Inside is still somewhat nice looking if not a bit sparse and a bit dark. I try to get a single tamales. Along with a sandwich. Food comes out after a short delay. Took pics then dug in. Bread is really good. Crusty but soft and was warm. Had to cut it myself but they gave me a steak knife which worked for the job. The beef was flavored well but the jus was over seasoned with salt. It mellowed out when treated like a French dip, but still a little too salty on its own. There was about 6 small strips of steak, with some tomatoes and onions also in the mix to help bulk out the sandwich. The tamale was massive, masa was spiced well. Chicken was pulles in long strings which led to uneven bites of chicken and masa. Price was good for the sandwich but not the tamale. 13 for the sandwich is reasonable but would want the option for some fries or something to bulk it out. The tamale at 8 was too pricy for what you get. Not a bad tamale, but would rather pay 4 and get half than pay for a big one. Least then I can try both protein options and pick a winner. They are improving, and the efforts are noted. New menus and new servers make for a better experience. There's still some tweaks to be made, but it's a good place to try if you're feeling adventurous

Just myself and a couple other patrons at far sides of the place. Bartender was playing waitress as well. Very nice but very casual. Opted for their fruit juice mocktail and the jammin burger with loaded fries. Food and drink came out quick, so I took my pics and dug in. The mocktail was pretty much orange and pineapple juice with a fruit garnish. It was fine for what you got, and the price was reasonable at 4 bucks. Nothing special, but something to sip on if you're with company. The burger was executed flawlessly. Cooked well, not seasoned but done so with intention. The buttered bun and jam were salty to begin with, so they chose to unseason the burger, relying on the condiments to balance the dish out. The chef has skill, and you can tell it by their preparation. The trouble was the quality of the ingredients. The burger is straight ground meat, pressed to a patty and frozen. The chef did what they could to gussy up the burger, but was working with ingredients they could not control. When they had control in the ingredients and preparation, they put in care. The actual burger patty was very much the biggest detriment to the dish. The fries were good, cheap cheese and bagged fries but ample amounts of toppings and cooked perfectly. Good, but there's evidence that there could be something better. As a chain location tied to a bowling alley, it's perfectly fine pub bites. The servers are nice, but I feel that the chef is constrained. If given the opportunity, the chef could produce some magic on the plates. but they are stuck to the playbook, the source ingredients and the margins they need to stay in. That cheapens the food to cookie cutter molds and is a crying shame. The foods acceptable, the staff is good, and the venue is clean. One day I hope they can shed the chain and let the chef take the wheel. till then though, it's okay

Your lack of customer service..empathy, understanding and deescalating a situation clearly shows that everyone shouldn't be a business owner and you still have lots to learn. You should definitely take a Business Management course refresher on how to respectfully treat your paying customers and run a business. Such a horrible experience on my brothers birthday. We had a group of 8 ppl excited to try this place out. As soon as we walked through the door everyone in the establishment stared at us as they whispered. The crowd was far from inviting or friendly. We approach the bar and on 2 occasions the folks playing pool told us we were in their way..(understandable..@Racks why place pool tables so close to the bar that makes it difficult for a large party to be able to order drinks??) Most of our party was able to order their drinks except for my self..my brother and a friend. A Man(brown skin) we DIDNT KNOW approached the bar and had an exchange of words with one his bartenders following up on a question he asked her to to confirm with the owner. She became flustered told him off claiming he was disrespectful etc..( this guy was by far very polite to her while I was standing there and was following up on the price of 10 shots) She DEFINITELY over reacted and made me feel very uncomfortable. She walks to the back.. at that point a friend of ours reached over to get the drink the bartender poured for him before she walked away and left us unattended wondering wth just happened. The Jameson bottle she used was empty and our friend thought it would be comical to pick up the empty Jameson bottle and make a sad face that there was no more since we needed a 2nd drink of Jameson. Bad timing to say the least..the owner/bartender approaches the bar ready for WAR! The owner points at us 4 ALL OF YOU ARE OUT OF HERE** I'm bewildered as to why he started yelling at us as if we were a problem when we we were not with the guy that the bartender had an issue with. ( PERHAPS..WAS IT BECAUSE I TOO AM BROWN SKINNED..AND WE MUST BE TOGETHER RIGHT???) At that point I gave the owner the benefit of the doubt and told him ," can I please talk to you privately its my brothers birthday and we don't know that guy". He says if its anything to do about this situation he doesn't want to hear it and we have to go!!!! I couldn't help but feel singled out and a sense of racism when he spoke and looked at us..to be quite honest this place was about 98% white..the guy at the bar (told to leave) with his friends were also colored..Come on!! I'm by far the last person to play the race card...but the way we were treated, lack of customer service or understanding from the owner screams if you're not local or their people ..YOU'RE NOT WELCOMED!! FOLKS!! dont spend your money in an establishment that lacks respect and clearly don't want you there. Don't waste your time at this place..GO TO SPARE TIME DOWN THE ROAD...We left and had an amazing time.. their bartenders and management by far were amazing and treated us great.
