Restaurants in Moneta

“Fantastic find at the lake. Owners are personable and charming. Atmosphere is as expected for the genre, but the place is the right size, warm, and inviting. Great fish, great cooked foods, fantastic service.”

“Best buffalo chicken pizza ever... the waitress was also amazing!”

“All I can say is WOW! I took my boyfriend here for Father’s Day and we are still talking about the whole experience to our friends and family. We had the sticky shrimp for our appetizer and we could’ve eaten 8 plates of them! For our main course, I had the 12oz Ribeye which was plated beautifully and cooked to perfection. He had the Bourbon glazed salmon and again, beautiful plating and the sauce was phenomenal. I asked for a glass of wine to pair with my steak and it was a perfect match. For dessert we had the Crème Brûlée and the Limoncello which just melted in your mouth. Great cocktails before and after dinner and the bar area is so cool! The owners are amazing and take such pride in everything they do. We are going back this weekend for what I’m sure will be another amazing experience. Easily one of the best meals either of us have ever had.”

“My husband and I just visited the winery taking a break from a long drive. Stephanie was such a lovely pleasure and we enjoyed our conversation about the origins of their winery while we tried a Flight of their delicious wines. We left with the three bottle variety pack and it may not make it home! Thank you Stephanie and continued success.”

“The menu is great, really good food. The staff is amazing- very welcoming, attentive, and polite. The restaurant is smaller but charming. Good food, great staff, a wonderful dining atmosphere with an upscale bar area. Not over the top, just right!🙂 We enjoy going to LA Casa Toscana.”

“Bella Vita is a great restaurant! The food is amazing and the staff are the best! I definitely recommend!”

“Great flavor on the spinach white pie with fresh garlic 😋, so yummy.
Huge 24 in supreme, excellent flavor, love the dough, NY Style thin! It could have used a bit more toppings; other than that, EXCELLENT.
First time customer 06/2026, we will be back!!”

“I consider The Blackwater a SML treasure. I literally feel like Norm from cheers when I arrive. 😆 Think the world of John, and the entire staff! Nick is the bomb with the cocktails too! Great food, cocktails and atmosphere as well! Big fan ❤️”

“We ordered catering from Nora and The Farmhouse for a 20th anniversary celebration at a house on SML. Nora was so easy to work with and helped guide us in the right direction for food for 15 people (adults + kids). The quality and taste of the food was amazing and all guests raved about the charcuterie board, veggie tray (especially the ranch dipping sauce) and BBQ + fixings. Delivery was fast and the food was hot and ready to go. The little leftovers we had were still incredible heated up the next day. Would definitely recommend for your next special occasion!”

“10/10 experience! Perfect way to end our vacation. Amazing staff, scenery, and wine selection. In comparison to the other wineries in the area this one stands out by SO MUCH! highly recommend to swing in, we loved it! I am 22 and can confidently say it has a perfect vibe for all ages of day drinking fun and relaxation!!! :)”

“Good service, the food is good, but not great. Very expensive for what you get. I got cube steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, and diet Mt Dew, $20.00 counting tax. Had to pay extra for rolls.”

“We definitely recommend the spinach artichoke dip. Best dip I’ve ever had. The Philly was awesome and the chicken cheese Philly was a hit too!”

“We haven’t been here in over 6 years we had a couple of bad experiences and never went back. Today we decided to give it another try and were pleasantly surprised. Everything was fantastic and will definitely go back.”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“Yummy very tasty ice cream! Great service.”

“My family and I visited the Ice Cream Cottage on Friday, August 1st, and enjoyed our experience overall. Hershey’s ice cream never disappoints, and the quality was excellent. However, it was disappointing that the shop does not allow samples before purchasing. Offering free samples is a common industry practice, especially at this price point, and would greatly enhance the customer experience.”

“Wonderful experience! We have been to the alpaca farm several times before coming to the marketplace. The sweaters are expensive but you are paying for good quality items. I have their socks and they are fabulous. The husband and wife owned store is so special, and we had a wonderful experience with the wine tasting. Their 4 flight is $22 which is very fair priced for a flight. The husband remembered me wnd my fiance from 2021. Such a delight! We will be back next weekend for my bachelorette weekend! Highly recommend! Also, having gluten free cones is absolutely amazing! They are such a gluten free friendly store! First time ever seeing gluten free cones!”

“Great place to hangout with friends and family especially today listening to Karlee Raye music.”

“My husband and I have dined here twice. Both times it was perfect in every way. The meal was delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was friendly. We will continue to visit regularly! Looking forward to our next visit. Crab cakes, shrimp and grits, steak…perfection!”

“Every year we say we are going to check out Hot Shots. Yesterday we finally did.
We entered the main building which really consisted of two rooms. The first had a couple tables and a counter for service. The other room had a bar, couple tables and some arcade machines, not the type that attract kids. We sat at the bar which already had locals on many of the stools. Rachel, the bartender, was friendly and interacted with us and other patrons.
We ordered a couple beers and Keg Tots (stuffed tater tots); we later ordered Kickin' Chicken sandwich with house chips and Chicken cheese steak with fries.
The Keg Tots were OK; wouldn't order them again but had to try. The fried chicken on the Kickin' sandwich was fabulous. I would have preferred palmetto cheese to the pepper jack slice but it was fine. And though the roll was smallish for the cheese steak, it was stuffed with chicken, cheese, peppers and onions.
We ventured out to see the other offerings on the property - another building with a stage, tables & a bar for the weekly bands, an axe barn, and miniature golf. The doors on both the axe barn and the bldg with stage open to the central courtyard which must be nice on summer nights. There is also window service for ice cream. The miniature golf appears well maintained and we look forward to challenging our friends.
We will definitely be back to Hot Shots, another little gem in Moneta.”

“Love it great service very nice place to dine”

“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff is welcoming, and I love, love, love the salsa!”

“Love the coffee/bakery and breakfast sandwiches! Awesome place!”

“Great food and service on a Sunday afternoon! Very nice waterfront setting. I highly recommend!”

“delicious cinnamon rolls and coffee!”

“First time to to the Wake Cafe, although I am a local. The place is bright, appealing and very clean. The wait staff pleasant and knowledgeable. I ordered the blue cheese burger, excellent! The prices are a little high, $28.00 lunch for 2 and drink selection limited. I will go back and will certainly recooommend to others.”

“I LOVE the atmosphere at Mangos, great food and drinks and the live music, especially when The Frequency is playing! 🎶🎶 And… I can’t believe I’m saying this part out loud, BUT I AM older now… (but still running against the wind) 🤦‍♀️ 😉 The music is often much too loud. You can’t hear the person beside you talk. The music is great, but I still like to be able to have a conversation, too. Overall, I LOVE MANGO’S and always look forward to going there for a night out!”

“Amazing staff, friendly and accommodating. Chill vibe, great food . Definitely stop in for a drink and a bite if you are in the area.”

“We came here for brunch for my sister's birthday. The food was amazing and the portion size was great. The atmosphere was cozy. Clean bathrooms were a plus. I'm excited to try this place again most likely for dinner.”
