    Was looking forward to trying this restaurant but it was not what I expected. Everyone was shoved in to very tight seating. Cocktails were elementary/basic and not well crafted. Noise was over the top with flashing lights and ringing cow bells for every birthday celebration. The food was not good and we sent back our main entree that was dried out and took 40min to come out. Won’t be back here.

    Poor service (water was poured on me multiple times throughout the night, waited over 30 minutes for a single dish at one point, had to ask multiple times to be brought cutlery), a freezing cold table next to a very drafty front door (every table around us was shivering and putting their coats back on), overpriced food (a $26 kebab with only three small pieces of meat). The restaurant is also incredibly cramped. Our table was only inches away from the other two-tops next to us. We all had to keep physically moving the tables to let each other go by. Also, the music was loud and there was a strobe light / light show that kept going off, which I could see some people enjoying but is something I wish I had known before booking. The spreads and pita were pretty good, but they give a criminally small amount of bread for four dips. Overall, better to stick with Zorba’s if you’re looking for Greek food

    This was the worst dining experience I have ever had. It took us two hours to receive our meals. The place is cheap looking, the food is mediocre, it is so loud you cannot hold conversations, and the waiters are clearly miserable. The service was TERRIBLE. Never coming back.

    We went for a date night and it was our first time trying it out. The food was great and you get a good amount of food for the price. The lights were different colors which added to the vibe but it was pretty loud. I think it would definitely be a cute spot for girls night or a date.

    Well.. somebody recommended Mona. So I thought I can check it out for my 7th anniversary. I made the reservation in advance. We arrived to Mona on a very snowing night exciting to celebrate our anniversary. Cute place- nice vibe.. very bright. We got seated by the entry.. it was very cold — no pleasant. Every time that someone got in cold air got inside. We were freezing not having a good experience. Food overall was good. Definitely if you are looking for a place to celebrate your anniversary or for a date I think this is not the vibe. It didn’t feel intimate. I think Mona is more for a Friday / Saturday going out with friends. Service was okay. Over all we didn’t get the experience that we were looking for.

    Vibrant and exciting atmosphere with beautiful decor and lighting. Food was delicious. Not a quiet evening out, more of a scene, but fun.
