Try Monica’s for her Thursday night dinner. It’s so personal and Chef Monica visits your table and explains your meal. Everything is so fresh and always delicious. Her salads are the best in town! I had one with butternut squash along with several other toppings. It was so filling, flavorful, and beautiful to look at. It’s a precious restaurant with really neat art. I love the tile tables. The mini champagne served with a flute is a fun touch. They also have wine and beer. The fruit water is good too. Nice staff. We wish it were open more often! Monica has a gift!

Ate here for the first time recently, and I'm kind of upset I only just found this place. Monica is incredibly nice and made some great suggestions on a few things I should try. Ended up with the Elvis sandwich and a small nacho and both were fantastic. Monica came by to ask how things were going and explain a bit more about each place and its ingredients. We even chatted about her time in Egypt as a chef, really can't say enough about how nice she is and how good the food is. Looking forward to my next trip!

Monica's is a truly special place. The chef/owner works tirelessly to provide unique and special dishes for her guests and it shows. I love that she buys from local vendors whenever possible. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is second to none. If you want food that is full of flavors--especially new flavors or unexpected flavor combinations--give Monica's a try. You won't be sorry!

Absolutely one of the BEST fine dinning restaurant experiences in SETX. The food is outstanding with such pride taken with preparation and presentation. Nice and quiet, comfy atmosphere, where you can feel at home but also feel spoiled by the attention and service given. Monica is a super sweet hostess and Chef with a waterfall of culinary expertise that will delight your palate and fill your stomach. If you can't make a reservation for the full inside dinning experience, watch her page for to-go pre-order dinners that you can enjoy at home.

Found this little spot by accident one day. We went in about a month later and loved everything about it. The dining area is small, quiet, and well lit. The walls are covered in work by a local artist. And the food... They only offer salads and sandwiches, but that's just fine. The sandwich is more filling than bread, which I appreciate. All the flavors were fresh and bright, and the portions are very generous. We got a sandwich each and split a salad. After we were done there was enough left over to comfortably feed a third person. If not the best lunch spot in Beaumont, definitely in the top three.

Absolutely one of the most unique variety of menu items in Beaumont. This seems to be a lunch only dining experience, however it is one of a kind. From what it appears, all items are organic and certainly fresh! The atmosphere is cozy and very welcoming. One of the best lunches I've had in Beaumont, if not The best.

Wow. I was passing through for work, and this place came up as highly rated on Google. So, I decided to give it a try. One of the daily specials was the schezwan chicken. It was outstanding. I asked for a little extra spice, and they got it perfect. Also, the staff was very friendly. I’ll be working in the area occasionally, and I will try to make this place a stop.
