The strawberry spinach salad was incredible. The vinaigrette complemented the spinach well.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience at Mona Lisa. The food and service were both excellent and they even found small ways to make our anniversary dinner special. We will definitely be back.

The 4 course meal was delicious. You will not go away hungry. Our waiter Behr was the best. Very attentive and explained each course in detail. You will not be disappointed !

Svetlana

Great food and great service! Definitely pricey for the experience you get but worth it for special occasion. We had our anniversary there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Mona Lisa. The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, pleasant and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding and we loved the traditional cheese fondue, grilled proteins and veggies. We had the dark chocolate fondue for dessert which was amazing.

We visited Mona Lisa for my friend's birthday, which I noted in the reservation. We were warmly greeted by reception with a "happy birthday." It was uncomfortably warm in the restaurant the entire time we were there. We mentioned the warm temperature to our server and were told "there's a lot of cooking going on in here right now." I've been to many other restaurants where cooking at tables occurs and have never been this hot due to the table cooking- those restaurants account for that and maintain comfortable environments for their guests. The sommelier was fabulous. We ordered the old world fondue and the traditional meat entree to share. Both selections were extremely small, and both were just "okay" in quality, nothing to write home about. Our bill was about $90 for 5-6 bites of meat, a few dips of fondue, a beer and a glass of wine. Although our server was friendly and got us everything we ordered, she never acknowledged my friend's birthday. A table nearby by also celebrated a birthday and received a special birthday gift from their server- my friend did not and felt a little bummed. Birthday issue aside, this is not a place I will go back to for a meal.

If you haven't tried this place , you have to at least once!! We have been coming for years! It's amazing and the staff i would give more than 10 outta 10 stars!!

We did a La carte old world cheese fondue followed by standard milk chocolate. Cheese was delicious, loved the locally baked bread. Not a fan of the veggie options - broccoli cauliflower and carrot - as much. We would've enjoyed more fruit options, but overall delicious. The chocolate was perfect. Service was delivered with a smile but a little slow at times. If we make it back to this area, we will definitely make Mona Lisa one of our first stops!!!

We came to celebrate our 40th anniversary and had a wonderful meal and our Server Jasmine made some excellent recommendations that were really appreciated and yummy! She added a little raspberry to the chocolate martini!! Yummy!!

This is our go to restaurant for special occasions and they never fail to come through for us! Outstanding food, service and ambiance.

Worst meal ever. Meat so tough you couldn't chew. Vegetables old and spongy. Waited over an hour between courses. Meats not fondue, you grill on a smoky old table grill that did not fit the burner so hot grease splattered all over you. Waiter and management very unconcerned. If you order a cocktail it comes from the basement and took 45 minutes to get. Avoid this place!!

Mona Lisa Fondue continues to excel. The service has always been world class. This is our "go to" place for special celebrations.

Food was excellent, nicely displayed for us to cook. Wait staff absolutely wonderful, friendly, professional as well as incredibly helpful and welcoming. It was our anniversary, had nice wine and great meal. Only complaint, as odd as it seems, it was too much food for us : ) Thank you Mona Lisa.

Food was great, phenomenal and friendly service, and a peaceful atmosphere. Great caesar salad, fontina fondue, surf and turf, and milk chocolate fondue. Came in for a reservation for 1 on a Saturday at 4, and they sat me in a room with no other diners. I had mentioned I was wrapping up a spa day for myself, and I thought it was really mindful of them to set me up in a quiet spot until things got busier. Waitress was lovely, and even gave me a bonus glass of wine to round out my rest and recharge day. Every part of the meal was great. I'm not a big fruit+dips fan, and the chocolate fondue came with some cut fruit. She brought me quite a few extra graham crackers instead, and helped me box up all of my leftovers (lots of food for the price-- pace yourself!). Cannot praise this place enough, had a lovely time! The food was great, but the staff made the experience.
