Monica’s was worth the wait!!! My sister, baby and I went to Monica’s on a Saturday afternoon. We had to wait 45 minutes but was able to kill time by walking around to different stores.Once we were seated outside — which is the best seating. The outside is completely covered with shading and it’s cool; despite the heat!! It didn’t take long for PEPE (????) to greet us and take our order. PEPE was knowledgeable about the entire menu.We ordered a flight of Mimosa; which includes 6 juices and a bottle of champagne. Two people can share the juices and bottle.For food we ordered:Biscuits & Gravy which was awesome and tasty. The biscuits & gravy practically melts in your mouth. Every bite is full of flavor. The bacon and sausage grease used to make the gravy is filled with LOVE!!Belgian waffle was made just right and thick in all the right places. It’s great with or without syrup.Big Shrimp Omelette with Avocado, shrimp, cheese and veggies with some seasoned potatoes.I asked who’s Monica and where is Monica. The lovely bartender replied, “we’re all Monica” smiling!!!Thanks Pepe and Monica for a fun, tasty and wonderful experience.I will be returning.
We ordered French Toast and ground beef steak as the picture shown.I was kinda disappointed as the rating of this restaurant is quite high both in google and yelp.Ground Beef Steak: it was fine, I think it is the best of all we ordered. Medium cooked as I requested, not much seasoning but the taste is good.Hash brown: I'm sure I can't tell what is in my month if I closed my eye.Toast: not much butter, actually nearly can't see. not crispy of course. one of the worst toast ever.Scrambled egg: overcooked, I finished it just with the aim of not wasting food.French toast: bread was not freash, butter had no taste.Ham: normal~Over-easy egg: normal~Last, the Cappucinno: look nice, taste... really bad. I thought I was drinking a cup of milk. (I'm not asking for a 1:1 espresso and steamed milk original Italian style, I kinda accept American style which might be milder espresso and richer taste. But definitely not a cup of milk ?)Overall, staffs are nice, the vibe is warm and friendly. I enjoyed the sunshine and the lively atmosphere, not the food.btw, it was kinda crowded. There may be something tasty that I didn't try. I might have to try the waffles next time.
Wonderfully crowded. No wait time. Beautifully plated meals going to all the tables. I ordered the Western burger. Tasted like a real homemade hamburger. Indoor and heated outdoor seating. Very nicely located in a great area for walking around downtown. Next time I'll need to try a Mimosa they seemed popular.
This restaurant is awesome! The food is outstanding and the service is top-notch! I would definitely dine here again when in the area and might take a 30 min. drive from home to eat here!...The food is just that good!!?
First time here and it was great. The food is very good and service was impeccable. Wait time was about 45 mins, but it’s understandable bec Saturday is busy. Definitely will return.
What a delicious meal! The coastal omelet was incredible. It comes with hollandaise suave and the whole thing melts in your mouth. The French toast was also reeaaallllyyy good. Equally as impressive was the staff’s ability to handle a crowd. Despite being busy, we were promptly seated and didn’t have to wait long for our food. Highly recommend a visit!
Found this place because Danicas was closing for th3 day and they recommended it... glad we went.. can't wait to explore of the menu next time.
I wish I could give this place 6 stars. We went on a Saturday morning and waited roughly 30 minutes for our table, which was easily spent wandering the rest of Livermore's downtown area. I got the Huevos Rancheros and my wife got The Tom (Omelette with Turkey). Do not skip the toast with homemade jam, I ordered it on the side since it didn't come with my meal and I repeated this order when we went back two days later and I ordered the eggs benedict on a croissant. We simply couldn't stay aware from the great food and welcoming staff!
