Cafe Monami Review

           All of my evaluations have been lunch and dinner places, but none serve breakfast as well.  Welcome to Café Monami. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner! I’ve been there many times with family, and on a date. This is not a chain restaurant but an independently owned place.  And I’d say, as a quaint little restaurant, it isn’t too bad of a place.  It is located in a strip mall sort of place and thus is overlooked quite often, unless you know about it.

            Atmosphere is great at Café Monami. You walk into a beautiful scene of unique paintings on the walls and a greeter to welcome and seat you. You also breathe in a freash bakery.

        The variety of food here is greater than any of the other restaurants I’ve reviewed.  In addition to serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, they don’t really specialize in a specific food like pizza or burgers.  There is a huge variety of food here and I guarantee there is something for everyone!  The quality of food is also very good.  They have some unique offerings and if you’re willing to be adventurous, you might find a new favorite.  One example is a croissant French toast.  One time I was there with some extended family that were visiting and they loved it so much that we ordered another one for everyone to share for “dessert”.  Another example is their macaroni and cheese.  This is so delicious that there are many who come in on the weekends and order a family size to go so they can share it with their family.  This is my little brother’s favorite of all time.

            The service at Café Monami is excellent.  Many of the wait staff are from the same extended family and it’s a place where you always see the same faces.  This makes it a really comfortable place.  They get to know you and it’s nice to be remembered.  The owner of the restaurant is named Scott and he always stops by to say “hi” and catch up with what’s new in your life.  This isn’t always a place to go if you are in a hurry.  They have a small staff and they pride themselves on making you feel at home.  As a result, they don’t rush you and sometimes, if you are in a hurry, you might feel like things move a little slower than at the restaurant chains.  But, in my opinion, this is a nice thing and a refreshing change.

            Café Monami deserves a score of 9. Whether you’re going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, going with family, or friends, I highly recommend this place. Everyone works hard to make their customers happy and satisfied. I know I certainly am every time I go there!
