We were just passing through on our trip, and this place was a recommendation - a good one! The place is nondescript from the outside, yet offers a very nice place for dinner. The welcome & the service were very nice. Although fully booked we were offered a table - nice! The food was simple and delicious - love it! Not too many dishes on the menu; and that’s all it needs. Food made with dedication and love. If you pass through Ridgecrest, make sure you stop at “Mon Reve”.

This is the best place in town, without question. Every time my wife and I go it feels like a family dinner with a French Uncle. If you’re in Ridgecrest you need to go here, no question about it.!

This was a huge disappointment for me and my husband. I'm half French and Asian. And my husband and I love the French cuisine. Unfortunately, we had learned never to go there before dinner. Their menu is more American, with Sandwiches with your basic side dishes like macaroni and French fries. And even though the atmosphere does have a familiar French touch with French music and a few decorative items to embellish a French theme. The food lacks the authenticity of the French delights of European and cultural French foods. As for their Dinner menu. This is also more Americanized than anything near authentic French. On a good note, their host/waiter does speak French and is very polite as he frolics from table to table. In conclusion, The Fries are French Fries! And this restaurant does give a nice French placebo effect, with the American Onion soup and your typical Creme Brulee.

A lot of people in Ridgecrest told me this was the best restaurant in town. After trying it I can totally agree! The food here is absolutely phenomenal and the owners are so lovely! The only thing I regret is living here for over a year before trying it! Absolutely a must visit! Reservation only so call ahead of time!

I went there to eat. They denied me that without any explanation. I wasn't even allowed to order takeout without any explanation. The guy was rude to me. Guess I'll keep going to Independence CA for French food at the Still Life Cafe. Better food, better service.

We went to Mom Reve for a birthday dinner. My friend is a foodie, and so I wanted to take her somewhere special for her bday. We each got appetizers, an entree, and then shared dessert. I got the brie in a pastry puff appetizer (feuillete brie), and then poulet au pesto (chicken stuffed with pesto, cooked in a creamy sauce with curry) as my main dish, with a side of pasta. My friend forgot the onion soup for her appetizer, and the filet mignon (cooked in a red wine port sauce) with a side of ratetouille as her entree. For dessert we got the panna cotta coconut with mango and passion fruit coulis. It was all very delicious! The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, and the food was worth the price. I would definitely go back. ?
Parking: Free Street parking is next to the restaurant. The parking extends to nearby buildings, and you can park anywhere on Balsam Street if needed.
