Wonderful find in a small town in California. If you are visiting the national parks it is a very nice restaurant with delicious food. A bit upscale and will not disappoint. The owner Jennifer is a delight. Make sure you get dessert.

We ate at the bistro when we stopped in Exeter during our Honeymoon and amongst good food, really good service and a nice atmosphere they handed us a post card which we wrote some greetings to ourselves in the future on and now, two months later, they actually sent it to us all the way to Germany. What a wonderful surprise and thank you a lot!!!

Baked brie with cherries, pork chop, croissant bread pudding. Salad dressing on the garden salad was delicious.Everything was well prepared. Wine list compliments the food. Attentive wait staff.

Amazing experience at Monet's ! We were a party of 5 and I ordered the ravioli medley, flank steak raclette, steak panini and the smothered baked brie with cherries. Everything was filled with flavor and freshly prepared. The dessert of lavender cheesecake was a perfect ending. Highly recommend reservations.

My wife and I'm favorite place to eat! Delicious food, great wine, and incredible service every time!
Fantastic atmosphere – a live jazz clarinet player, soft twinkle lights, tasty food, and so much more! There’s a great selection of wines and other drinks. I tried the camemberg burger, which was delicious.

We stumbled upon Monet’s after a day of hiking in the parks. What a treat! Incredible food and wine after taking a great recommendation from the lovely waitress. Live music helped set the atmosphere - we felt like we’d just stepped into a local wine bar from the streets of Paris! All the staff were so lovely and the owner, Jennifer, gave us fantastic local recommendations on where to go in Sequoia which ended up being the highlight of our trip! Couldn’t recommend more!
We dined in sitting outdoor on a hot summer day. The biggest issue was that there were flies outside like crazy touching every piece of our food. The restaurant certainly knew about this but still offered outdoor dining and did nothing about it. Plus, we got broccoli as the side dishes for a salmon plate but the broccoli is frozen product that wasn't fresh and had no texture at all. It is very sad that they offer frozen vegetables for a dish that is 30 or 40 dollars.

Jennifer the owner is an amazing host. Food was delicious. Mixed wines for our table. We couldn't decide on a desert so she gave us half of an order of our top two the salted caramel chocolate tart and the almond raspberry tart very delicious. Will definitely go back

Amazing vibes - live jazz clarinet player, twinkle lights, delicious eats and more! If you enjoy wine, there’s an extensive wine and drinks list! I enjoyed the fig burger and we loved hearing people’s birthdays being celebrated through live jazz.

Great little wine bar. Nice wine and food choices. Wished we were more hungry when we went. The lavender brie appetizer is delightful as was the crème brûlée. We would definitely be regulars if we lived near this little gem.

By far the best European restaurant I’ve eaten at in the US. And that’s coming from a European.
