Wow wow wow what a place food was so delicious! And service is the best! Loved the spot for a good date or amazing dinner

I'm so happy that Monna opened in our neighborhood. The food is a 10/10, and the atmosphere, music, and decor are all on point. The staff is warm and accommodating. I loved it so much that I went twice back-to-back. Once for dinner and again for Mother's Day brunch. The dinner and brunch menus are different, but both were excellent. Some of my favorite dishes were the blinchik, tomato cucumber burrata salad, pilmeni, and the eggplant dish. Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The kids' menu was also a hit. The kids really enjoyed the pancakes, orange juice, and fries. For the Mother's Day brunch, they also had a flower stand where bouquets were made for all the moms. I thought that was such a nice and thoughtful touch. Looking forward to coming back again! Thank you Monna! read more

Absolutely loved our experience at Monna! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the entire dining experience even better. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The burrata salad was delicious, the crudo was incredibly fresh, and the tarragon salad is a must-try. The branzino was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We also had the tomahawk ribeye with wild mushrooms, and the potatoes with chimichurri were amazing. The BBQ khachapuri was a great appetizer as well. You also can't go wrong with the boiled beef khinkali, and the kids absolutely loved the boiled pelmenis. Overall, every dish impressed us and we can't wait to come back. I've also heard their breakfast menu is fantastic, so that's next on our list! read more

Tried Monna for the first time with a few friends and had such a great experience overall. The food, service, and ambiance were all wonderful. We sat outside on their cute patio area, which made for a really nice dinner setting. We started with a couple of sides, the roasted potatoes and mushrooms, which were delicious and full of flavor. For mains, we shared the ribeye, salmon, and two different types of dumplings. I really appreciated how the menu reflects a variety of Armenian influences, from Persian Armenian to Russian Armenian to Lebanese Armenian, while also offering American favorites. My favorite item of the night was easily the boiled dumplings that came with yogurt on the side. They were so flavorful and the portion of 10 pieces was perfect for sharing. We also ended dinner with the honey cake, matcha latte, and cappuccino, all of which were delicious. I loved the thoughtful decor and Armenian touches throughout the restaurant, especially the rugs displayed on the walls. Would definitely recommend for a date night, dinner with friends, or even a private event since I believe they also have a private room available. read more

The food was great. Maybe slightly overpriced if you're just considering the food, but the ambiance is really worth it. The portions were modest, but the flavor was great! Id give the ambiance 11 out of 10. The sleek wooden chairs, the art work, the INCREDIBLE bathrooms, the bar, the fresh florals, the embroidered napkins, oh and my favorite, they brought me a little stand to set my purse on so I didn't have to fight with it falling off the chair! My kids were really excited when the staff brought them colored pencils with a sharpener that they could take home! Overall amazing experience. Definitely great for an elevated family dinner or a date night. Oh and the coffee, wow! Just wow! No words! read more

Surprisingly, this place is a hidden gem. The food is outstanding; fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The Caesar salad was exceptional, and the branzino was perfectly cooked, tender, and delicious. The décor is unique and stunning, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Service, however, was inconsistent. We waited about 30-40 minutes before a server initially came to our table, yet toward the end, multiple servers stopped by asking the same questions, which became a bit frustrating. Overall, a great dining experience with room for improvement in service coordination. read more

First time here. I came in with a friend on a Sunday around 1 pm and we were seated right away at a small table in the side room. The hostess mentioned they host a "DJ Breakfast" every other Sunday, which we didn't know beforehand. There was a live DJ playing, but the music was extremely loud and very club-style -- not quite what I'd expect from a family restaurant atmosphere. It made it difficult to have a conversation and felt a bit out of place for brunch. Our server offered flat or sparkling water (we chose flat) and took our order: two vanilla cloud hot coffees, the egg and tomato omelette, and the syrniki. The coffees arrived first but were already lukewarm. The timing of service was also off -- my syrniki came out first, then the water, and then my friend's omelette. It would've been nice for everything to arrive closer together. Unfortunately, no one checked back in on us, and we had to wait to try to get more water. Overall, the experience felt a bit disorganized. I'm willing to give this place another try because the concept is cute and the DJ brunch may just not have been for us -- but some adjustments to service flow and volume would definitely improve the experience. read more

We found easy parking and came in and got seated right away. Great manager, server, and bartender. All very attentive to our needs. We ordered drinks, decided as we are old not to order appetizers but they had quite the menu for them. I will poat photos of all of their drinks and appetizers and entrees and desserts. I got filet mignon. And my 90 year old mom got the salmon meal. She got a fancy cappuccino and I got a strawberry lemonade that qas delicious. Best place for fire roasted steaks and mom loved her salmon..good sides of asparagus and mashed potatoes too. Plenty of water and ice. We loved the whole staff..Mel the manager was adorable and so so sweet. The bartender Alex kept making sure we were good and Khoren our waiter was outstanding!! All in all i recommend it for any size group. The music was amazing and made me relax and I knew all the songs. Not too loud and so mom and I loved that we could hear each other. No shouting or bad acoustics here. Parking easy and close. Loved the whole atmosphere. A little expensive but it is well worth it. read more

Went here last Friday for a girls night. First time there and we booked a table for mother's day. Geo was the one serving us and he was very helpful and took the time to answer all our questions on the menu....we tried a new wine based on his recommendation. Let me tell u we finished the bottle!! So good. The food is more of a modern take on things we grew up eating. Live music was perfect. Came home and told my husband we are going there for our anniversary. The vibe and ambiance is wonderful. It's for all ages...there were families there with their kids. Can't wait to go back and have more items from the menu. read more

They have one of the best lamb chops I've ever had. It comes with mushrooms that are satay? Definitely a must order. The tomahawk ribeye had a perfect cook and flavor. The bone marrow was a disappointment and could have been better. read more

Took my family here on Mothers Day. I completely understand some of the adjustments a restaurant needs to make on holidays so I wasn't surprised when the lunch menu was not available for a 1pm reservation. I ordered the steak, pricey and subpar unfortunately. The worse part was the service. Neither one of us felt like we were particularly wanted in the restaurant. Quickly seated, orders placed and never seen by a waiter again. We were met with eye rolls when we asked for more bread and water, which we paid for. Again, that's fine, it's a nice place and we expected a big bill. We paid the big bill, but didn't feel like we want to return. It's sad, because we love good food and we're excited for this new spot in our neighborhood. read more

They just cancel my order. Too much partying inside the reception but not focusing on the quality of food. read more

4 stars, maybe a bit more but there is room for improvement. The place is very nicely decorated and there are good food options. The service could be better, the servers weren't very attentive (didn't check in, refill drinks, see if we needed anything, etc.). The dishes tasted fresh and the desserts/coffees were cool. Keep in mind that they only serve beer, wine, and champagne. Some of the sides were slightly over-salted (mushrooms). It looked like they also had a private room for events/larger parties. read more

Monna La is such a beautiful and memorable place. The interior is very stylish and recognizable -- every corner feels thoughtfully designed and perfect for photos. The food was also great. The syrniki were delicious, soft and perfectly balanced. We also tried the cheese khinkali and khachapuri, and both were very flavorful and satisfying. Overall, a lovely spot with great food and a beautiful atmosphere. Definitely a place I would come back to. read more

Beautiful restaurant, great food, and great service! Such a unique experience, incredibly beautiful decor, down to the table settings. We enjoyed the grilled eggplant, the beef Georgian dumplings, and the honey cake. All were spectacular! On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, they currently have live music for 2 hours in the evening. Check the schedule with the restaurant. Great option for a date night, family gathering, corporate gathering, etc. I will definitely be back and wish them well in continuing to offer restaurant foodies a great experience! read more

Finally had dinner at Monna with my girlfriends and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is beautiful, stylish interior, comfortable furniture, great attention to detail, and elegant tableware. Our server was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. I had the lamb chops, which were incredibly flavorful and paired perfectly with mushrooms. My friends ordered the ribeye with mashed potatoes and mushrooms (our favorite dish of the night) and the filet mignon, which was very tender and delicious. For dessert, the signature "David" looked amazing, but the Napoleon completely won our hearts, sooo crispy, fresh, and perfectly balanced with the cream. 10/10. Will definitely be back! read more

I'm gonna be completely honest and say I was a little hesitant to come here because it was my first time and I was reserving for a group of 10 ladies. But to my surprise, we were all completely blown away! Each of us left saying that we are definitely coming back. I even noticed a small private room in the back, thinking what a fun place for an event. The service was amazing, and the food!!! So much flavor, very fresh and delicious!

Monna - One of many desserts.. lol - Middle Eastern Near Me - La Crescenta-Montrose, California

We celebrated a birthday with a big party here this weekend and I can't wait to go back. I especially want to go back and try their breakfast/brunch items! This restaurant is truly a gem we needed in Montrose! The food strikes the perfect balance between unique creativity and traditional flavors, which makes every dish feel both exciting and comforting at the same time. You can immediately tell that quality is a top priority and every ingredient tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The presentation of the dishes was absolutely beautiful, almost too pretty to eat, yet the taste was even better. Each bite was packed with flavor and clearly crafted with care. I wish I took pics of them to post, but I was too busy eating. Beyond the food, the atmosphere made the entire experience unforgettable. The décor is stunning and thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and stylish ambiance. The music was perfectly curated, setting the tone without being overwhelming and adding to the overall vibe of the place. If you're looking for a restaurant that delivers exceptional food, beautiful presentation, amazing customer service and a memorable atmosphere, this place truly stands out. It's the kind of place you leave already looking forward to your next visit. See you soon! I am a satisfied customer and one who will make this gem a place I regularly visit. read more

Very enjoyable experience! All the workers were nice and service was good, but I could say that the servers could use a little more training for the guests to have a smoother dining experience. The food was really great overall and the ambiance of the restaurant was also very cozy. We started with the BBQ Khachapuri, which was my personal favorite. It's a cheese lover's dream wrapped in a thin dough grilled over an open flame. Next we had the beef tartare which is one of the tastiest tartares I've ever had. For the caesar salad, the flavor was there, but just not enough dressing. The steak was overcooked and had a burnt taste and the side of mashed potatoes was not that great either. Both items were brought to our table cold. Overall just pass on the steak. The khinkali was very very good. Authentic, the meat had a great taste, it was juicy, and the dough was thin. It had everything that one expects from good khinkali. Finally we ordered honey cake and mikado, and let me tell you, when I say this was the best honey cake and mikado I've ever had, I mean it. We had these desserts with a side of tea, which also tasted nice. I would come back here for these desserts alone. read more

Monna was great! My husband and I have been curious about Monna since it opened a few months ago. We were happy to find out that they serve brunch on Sundays. The food quality was excellent and the service was very good as well. Jess was our server, he was knowledgeable, attentive and very pleasant! My husband had the Steak and Eggs, both super tasty. I had Blinchick which was delicious. We shared the Syrniki, omg so good! The vibe and ambiance is lovely. Nice job on the furniture, decor, linens and table wear. The remodel of the restaurant was done really well. The attention to detail was noticeable. Can't wait to go back on a Sunday when they have a DJ and for dinner one e evening. Thanks Monna for a nice experience!! read more

We came in as a party of seven and unfortunately the experience was very uneven. The khinkali was genuinely delicious, but the rest of the meal and service fell short. My filet mignon was overcooked even though I ordered it medium rare. Service was also frustrating throughout the night. Our server was often nowhere to be found, and there were clear communication issues that made basic requests harder than they should have been. The biggest problem was my daughter's shrimp dish, which was significantly delayed. We brought it up multiple times, but her food still did not arrive until everyone else at the table had already finished eating. That really should not happen. What left the worst impression, though, was the way the bill was handled. An 18% service charge had already been added, but this was never pointed out. Then the handheld card reader still prompted for an additional 20%, 22%, or 25% tip, again without any explanation. That felt misleading. At a minimum, that should be clearly disclosed. The khinkali was the highlight, but overall the poor service and billing issue overshadowed the meal. I would not return, and I'd recommend others review the check carefully. read more

Terrible service and food. Food came out cold. Two dishes came out a good 10 minutes before the other two. The fifth meal still wasn't out 30 minutes later. Their excuse was that the kitchen is busy. No apology or anything. The server never came to see if we wanted another drink after the original. Waste of time and money! In response to your reply, your server did NOT let us know that the dish will take longer to prepare. This information was brought up 30 minutes later when the rest of us were finished with our food and we asked for you to cancel the order. read more

We came to Monna for brunch with friends and absolutely loved it. We chose the outdoor-style seating, and everything--from the atmosphere to the food--was on point. We ordered coffee, a few cocktails, Adjarian khachapuri, eggs Benedict, and a blinchik. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The vibe is amazing: so many cool details, branded napkins, stylish tableware, and thoughtful design everywhere you look. You can really tell the place is put together with care. Special thanks to our server Akim -- excellent service, very attentive and professional. Thank you for such a great brunch experience. We'll definitely be back! read more
