    Nice place with friendly staff and delicious food don't let the other reviews keep you from stopping in like we almost did. Glad we stopped in for lunch.

    Kids devoured the 16 inch!

    Monicals is a staple in our family. The pizza is always delicious and perfectly cooked. Just a very nice place to gather and enjoy.

    The food is delicious! Unlike a certain pizza chain restaurant nearby, the pizza crust tastes and…read moresmells like fresh baked bread. We also like the house salad and the lasagna is wonderful. I can't wait to go back.

    Make sure and read all of the negative reviews. They are probably the most objective and they hit…read moreall the highlights. Disclaimer: this visit was on Mother's Day so we understood that it would be crowded with longer wait time. First time in restaurant. The tables are packed claustrophobic tight. Or table was smack up against the side of the salad bar. I was afraid my hair would get in the lettuce. Every time someone walked past our table they bumped into the chairs. Payment is No cards, cash/check only and this info is NOT published anywhere but on a notecard taped to the cash register which was blocked from view as we were seated. Not on the door, not on the website. I see it's here in the comments on Yelp, but I had poor signal and didn't do a review search, just looked at the website. Poor treatment by owners - attitude was not "I'm sorry for your poor experience" but "I'm sorry you're complaining, get lost." Carry out orders and friends and locals seemed to receive priority service. Mediocre, overpriced food. "Baked" pasta dish was runny, mozzarella barely melted, meat sauce with barely any meat, way too sweet. Garlic bread with very little garlic. Pizza crust was hard, flavorless, over cooked on edges. Sauce (to me) has a weird chemical-like taste. Toppings were not fresh, mushrooms were canned, pizza was under cooked in the middle. Wait time - it was one hour until someone told us it was ready to come out in a couple of minutes..... then it actually was another 30 minutes or more later, during which the waiter avoided us like the plague until we flagged him down and asked when our food would be out, then another ten minutes after that. After reading reviews, it would seem that the time deception is a sanctioned tactic. Finally, after going to the car, retrieving an old checkbook, and writing a check with a generous tip in spite of the deficiencies, we politely expressed that they should publish their payment policy and how wait time was misrepresented. Received a very curt response. Left an honest comment on the community fb page and was threatened, cursed, and called every name in the book by most of the friendly "locals." But hey, social media, right? The rudeness on a busy day could have been easier to forgive if everything else had been five star, but the food really isn't worth the price and the wait. And jeez, Monticello....I'm afraid to drive through town, much less eat at this restaurant again.

    We stopped into Sun Singer for a lunch break during a business trip, and it ended up being one of…read morethe highlights of our time in the area. It's a wonderfully unique space--part wine and spirits shop, part lively daytime dining room--with a steady flow of customers browsing bottles alongside a full bar and tables occupied by ladies who lunch and retirees enjoying a relaxed weekday afternoon. It is a surprisingly chic space for Champaign. The dining room was busy enough that there would have been a wait for a table, but we were perfectly happy at the bar. Our bartender was very friendly and welcoming, even while clearly managing a high volume of guests in what felt like a short-staffed moment. Despite that, service remained warm and attentive. We shared the traditional fondue, which was generously portioned and stayed hot for an impressively long time thanks to their setup--ideal for lingering over conversation. We both enjoyed wine pairings, and I especially loved the Winter Warmer Knob Creek cider: cozy, well-balanced, and a standout choice, particularly for anyone who appreciates Knob Creek. Sun Singer has an excellent atmosphere--social, distinctive, and effortlessly inviting. I very much look forward to returning the next time we're back in the area.

Also our waitress was seriously nice and attentive we never needed for anything! I seriously cannot recommend this place enough!
