Excellent food, spent some time with the owner and chef... Everyone needs to try it. Farm to table, healthy and not a chain restaurant. Shop local, support local
Our whole family had a wonderful dining experience here. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with records as the motif. It is a very small operation and has the intimate feel we've loved from similar restaurants and cafes in Japan. Several other customers were there for their first visit as were we. The pork dish we ordered perfectly matched with the rice dish and we were fully satisfied. Our kids had the burger and fried chicken and ate it all very enthusiastically. The restaurant is well out of our way, but well worth the trip. I recommend taking a trip to check it out.
My husband and I enjoyed a nice quiet lunch sans kids this afternoon. The menu and decor was fun, and I think it makes a great addition to Monaca's main Street. We were the only customers in the place and I'm not sure if that's because it was on the early side or a Monday or a bit of both. I really hope a lot of people come here because I would love to see them as a staple in our town for years to come!
This place was awesome. Best crab cakes I have had since my fathers homemade ones. I loved everything I got. There is extremely little salt added which makes for a great tasting salad. Everything was made from scratch even the ketchup. I will for sure be back here
great food, good service and excellent prices
Great food great atmosphere and kid friendly. Wish there were more places like this in the area.
You must go here! We went for our anniversary. The experience was without question the best food and service we have had since living in the Pittsburgh area. The decor is very unique and interesting. Having grown up in the 1970s and 1980s we enjoyed looking at the records/albums. The owner was so hospitable! Excellent menu.
Relaxed atmosphere with light music playing in background. Server and owner very attentive. Crab appetizer done right (I worked in seafood industry being originally from MD).
No staff when I arrived at noon. Owner was embarrassed and did the waiter chores. No condiments on table, including salt and pepper, sugar substitute. Air conditioned-not doing the job on a 90 degree day. Philly sandwich was excellent as were the fries. Music was a bonus; sax great, guitar was decent. Keys were used as bass. Bongo instead of traps. Two vocalists did a great job. The menu looked very good. I'll be back with some folks. If the venue is staffed and air is cool, this place should be excellent. If not. I'll get a coffee next door and go home.
Great food and service. We arrived about 4:30 for an early dinner. The owner was our host and server and clearly explained the night's specials. I enjoyed the jaegerschnitzel and my wife enjoyed the lobster ravioli. Desert was also good with an order of assorted sorbets. We will be sure to keep this on the list for a return visit and recommend others to give it a try.

Y'all talk about mouth watering!!! I had a business lunch here today and it was nothing less than perfection. I have never had artichoke dip that tasted that good. And the New England clam chowder was to die for. Awesome atmosphere good music and the owner is so attentive along with his staff. I highly recommend and I will be back many times in the future. As a business owner myself I plan to bring all clients here at least once
My wife and I had an outstanding meal. Our waiter, was extremely polite. They also have a tasting menu every night. We will be back. Jody, wants to go back daily for the s'mores dessert.
Awesome Lobster Ravioli. Great atmosphere. Friendly personal service. Come try it out. You'll be back for sure!! For more!!
Had a delicious Sunday brunch! Will definitely be back for dinner very soon! â¤ï¸ Staff was so friendly and awesome art hanging for purchase.
We went for the soft opening last night. It was overall a fantastic experience! Joseph Paul was very hospitable. The executive chef and sous chef, did an amazing job & made themselves readily available throughout the evening. I could go on and on about how incredible the food was. But, to keep this short and sweet a few things that were my favorites....The crab cakes were Amazing!! Probably some of the best crab cakes I've ever had. Then he served us these Brussel Sprouts that were to die for ,and he had no problem sharing his recipe secrets . The pork and Risotto yet another favorite ...I'm telling you everything was delicious. Definitely a place we will be frequently a lot ... Please do yourselves a favor and check this place out . Plus your keeping it Local !
