We went on the second Sunday that Mona Lisa's had their breakfast buffet. The food was excellent! Very tasty and a nice variety. The buffet is all you can eat, but does not include coffee, tea, or juice. Those can be ordered separately. The service was good and will likely get better after a few more buffet Sundays. As for ambiance, it is a comfortable space with interesting Mona Lisa artwork. One thing we liked was that there are no steps, which makes getting in and out of the restaurant easy for everyone. I will definitely recommend this place to folks who are looking for a Sunday brunch buffet!

Went for the all you can eat breakfast buffet. I'm not really sure what we were expecting but it kind of felt like an overpriced hotel breakfast. The waitress we had was very friendly but they were so understaffed. It took a while to get a table when we walked in, and then we waited even longer at our table to get a drink and understand how to get food or where the buffet was. She was very kind and trying her best but didn't seem to have a lot of help. We got there at around 11:30 am and most of the trays were half, if not completely empty when we went up to get food. The bacon was burnt and the eggs benedict wasn't what I was expecting (shown in the photo). But the pancakes were delicious! It was a very quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Overall, I wasn't impressed and wouldn't come back again for the breakfast buffet. I would come back to try the lunch or dinner as it seems like it has good reviews and the atmosphere was nice.

went to Mona Lisa's for THANKSGIVING. Nothing was done well. They were under staffed, food on buffet was not warm, and paying $45.00 a person for buffet which was processed turkey and ham, wasn't sure what the "beef " was. THE DRESSING WAS A JOKE. Also, if were to go up for seconds, they charged an additional fee $11.95. They should close until they learn how to run a restaurant and treat their customers. We will NEVER RETURN

I got the Chicken Riggies delivered via Grubhub. It was awesome! It was also well packaged for travel.

Update:When my husband came home he returned the moldy dessert for me. Even then, the restaurant did not initially acknowledge that it was moldy. They continued to say it was a different color icing. When my husband scoffed at this, they ultimately said it was questionably moldy. They could not or would not supply a refund, but they did give him a $10 gift card and another piece of cake.I would never have given a bad review if they had apologized, said thanks for the heads up, and said they would check all the desserts in their fridge for mold and get rid of any that were moldy---and provided a refund. When I called them I was sure they would want to know they had served moldy food so they could prevent it from happening again.I have had lots of good food at Mona Lisa's. I love the turkey dinner, chicken and biscuits, and the pin wheels. I usually really enjoy the desserts. However, today my chocolate mouse cake with cherries was moldy. It was a pickup order. I called to see if they could take the charge for dessert off my credit card since it was moldy. I was told that it was probably just a different color of icing. I explained that it was definitely fuzzy mold and offered to send photographic evidence that it was moldy via text or email --but they said that wasn't possible. They did offer to replace it if I brought it in. It was not convenient to do that. I just wanted a refund. They told me to just remind them about what happened next time I come and I can have a free dessert. I'm not sure I'll be back...so that may not work out either.

What an excellent place for dinner! Stopped in on a Sunday early dinner and couldn't have chosen a better spot! There's plenty of room in the restaurant and staff were very friendly and appeasing. The options were endless and there was so much comfort food!! You will not leave here hungry. I loved the cute decor and they had tons of yummy desserts as well!

I very much enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and our server made some excellent suggestions when asked and was terrific all night.

We have not been for a sit down dinner but we've gotten pizza and wings a couple of times. It can be a little slow, service-wise, but a drink at the bar waiting for takeout was a very nice way to pass the time this past visit. The wings surprised us - good size and great flavor. Their garlic parm wings are tops in that category and the hot buffalo were very enjoyable!
Mona Lisa's has such a a giant menu full of different dishes! There is something for everyone and every time I go there I get something new. I have tried the ravioli, the pinwheels, and the turkey dinner! Their salads are always super fresh. Don't forget to look at the yummy desserts on in the display case on the way in!

I highly recommend Mona Lisa’s! Service was excellent! We had the meatball riggies, chicken parm and Utica greens. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. It was cooked and prepared perfectly. Their red sauce is wonderful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!

We just had the most amazing outdoor dinner. The prime Rib and The Chicken Reggie’s are excellent. The menu had so many choices we will be back to try all of them. The service, atmosphere were great.

Mona Lisa's Restaurant took over the building that formerly housed Morgan's Restaurant. The building has quite the history, as the restaurant at 329 Fay Road dates back to the early 1900s and was once a speakeasy that was raided by the feds. Before that, it was a farmhouse.The owners of Mona Lisa opened about 6 months before COVID hit, so it has been an uphill battle for the new owners. I was intrigued by their pinwheels they have on their menu, and decided to give them a try this weekend, as the wife and I were looking to try a new restaurant.I ordered a large pizza with pepperoni and sausage, an order of their zing it wings, and an order or their buffalo chicken pinwheels for to go. I was told 30-40 minutes. Having never been, I almost passed by the place cause I didn't know about its past, and it just looks like a huge house from the outside.The parking lot was pretty full, but it's a large parking lot and still have plenty of space. I walked in and even the inside is kinda set up like a house, with different separated rooms. My order wasn't ready yet even though I'd shown up at about 35 minutes, but again, they were very busy. Employees were friendly and told me they'd bring my order out to my car for me when it was ready.About 15 minutes later, my food was brought to me. Everything was still fresh and hot when I got home about a half hour later. We enjoyed everything. Good pizza, the greasy, but delicious kind. Wings were cooked VERY well, nice and crispy without having to ask for it. The zing it sauce was tasty, but very sweet. The pinwheels were great too, big chunks of buffalo chicken and a tasty garlic butter on the outside, and they were pretty large. 12 wings, a large 2 topping pizza and an order of 6 pinwheels came to $50, so plenty of food for the price. We don't live very close, but I'd absolutely go again if we were in the area.
