Reviews for Monica's in Coralville, IA
Drove by Monica?s so many times and didn?t stop. Tonight my wife and I looking for a late supper decided to stop and try... Monica?s. WHAT HAVE WE BEEN WAITING FOR!! It was such a treat, from the moment we stepped in we felt welcomed. Cassidy, ourwaitress, was just fantastic and her knowledge of the menu and the pride she showed in working at Monica?s was so great towitness. We eat out all over between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and tonight at Monica?s was one of our best restaurantexperiences!! Read more
Had a late lunch/early dinner. Wonderful menu with a great variety for all palettes. Pizza and feel good food filled the menu... along with great Italian comfort food options. I elected the Tater-tot casserole which was every bit of a casserole but if Iwere going to be totally honest, the casserole gravy was a bit bland. The tater-tots were AMAZING however and they made up forthe lack of seasoning in the gravy and veggies. Mt wife ordered the cheese ravioli and it was DELICIOUS. We both agreed it wastasty and the portion was just perfect. My sister in law order the Buffalo chicken sandwich and I must admit I had IMMEDIATEmeal envy... that thing looked like a food fantasy come to life. Those Buffalo chicken tenders were thicker than my palms andthe three of them could stay on the sandwich no matter what... it was beautiful. We will definitely go back... service wastimely and not overbearing. The only knock I had was that the grain of the pepper was larger than the pepper holes in theirpepper shakers, but they had a pepper cracker available so it became a non-issue. Definite 5 star if only the pasta and Buffalotender sandwich and a plate of onion rings were ordered. I look forward to trying the rest of their menu in the future Read more
After the last few years and getting the same dish I can say the quality of the dish has diminished not only in quality, but... quantity. I ordered the black fettuccine with lobster and it was basically black noodles with three smaller chucks of lobster.This dish used to have a fair amount of lobster and sauce. Unfortunately I was disappointed in this dish and honestly feel $26isn?t worth it. I will say the bread pudding was delicious as always. Read more
Made reservations for 14 people and restaurant had more than ample space to accommodate our party plus some other large parties... as well. Everyone spoke highly of their meals and ate pretty much everything. I'm vegan so i can only speak to what i ate, theblack bean burger with no cheese and condiments on the side. The burger was decent but as most bean burgers, crumbled a littlebit as i ate. The bread brought out was fresh and very tasty. Staff and service was great and would recommend. Read more
