We just had my daughters bridal shower at Momento. It was absolutely lovely! The food, the atmosphere, the gorgeous patio and... pavilion. I knew the shower would be nice, but Lou and Leon at Momento made it absolutely wonderful. They are both so good atwhat they do! Thank you Momento! Thank you Lou and Leon! I was an unforgettable afternoon. Read more

WEDDING REVIEW (But also a frequent visitor of the restaurant!) Jake and I are so overwhelmed with the amount that Leon,... Alberto, and Arta. We were definitely nervous knowing that Momento isn't a wedding venue to have our celebration here but beingthat we have eaten here a dozen or so times, we knew we could trust the food and would customize everything else. Whatever weenvisioned, Arta, Leon, and Alberto wanted to accommodate. We wanted long tables, they made that happen. We wanted string lightshung across the dance floor area, they hung them for us. They spent weeks preparing to ensure everything was perfect andcontinued to re-assure us in the weeks leading up, despite my anxiety. They hung chandeliers to make the tent look classier,they customized a menu for us from start to finish, and they ensured the right amount of staff for our 85 person wedding. Thankyou so much Leon for staying overnight the night before to ensure our day was nothing short of perfect. Read more
After hundreds of reviews you would think it becomes easier... lol NOT. It becomes more difficult because you tend to be... repetitive and it gets harder to differentiate how to describe the good from the better. Now this is an amazing experience fromthe moment you park your vehicle. First off it's a hike into the woods to find our venue, but it's a nice drive. Once you getto the restaurant you feel like your driving into an estate with a very nice entrance, but when you pull up and see the archwalkway with the beautiful greenery it becomes a weddingesque feel. Yes not a word but makes sense. The greeting as you walkin changes everything, we were greeted by the owner who was very nice and welcoming. We sat down and began the evening. Westarted off with stuffed mushrooms and moved on to our entrées. My fiancée had Lobster Ravioli with a Rose Champagne Saucewhich was insanely good. I had the Parpadelle Ragu which is made with actual Filet Mignon chopped and served as an amazingRagu. Of course we had a beautiful bottle of Boen Pinot Noir and our dessert was an incredible Bread Pudding and FrenchHomemade Macaroons. Wow we definitely will be returning and we'll be making this our next Foodie Club experience. Loved it. Read more
I’m always a little leery when trying new places because my other half can be slightly hard to please after years in the... restaurant industry. We went to Momento tonight at the recommendation of friends for my fiancé’s birthday…it didn’tdisappoint! From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left everything was perfect except the weather outside. Leonwas such a gracious host - he’s got personality for days and he truly made us feel like family. The entire staff interactedwith each other and all of the guests so seamlessly. And then there was the food!!! Everything was spot on and delicious! Icouldn’t have asked for a better steak - bone-in dry aged ribeye cooked to medium rare perfection! My fiancé’s Seafood fradiavolo was incredible…no overcooked seafood in sight. We had such an amazing experience and cannot wait to go back! Read more
I have eaten in this restaurant for a number of years and have probably ordered nearly everything on the menu by this point.... Momento boasts delectable cuisine, exceptional service, and an elegant ambiance perfect for the finest of dining! Alberto, Leon,and their team have hosted private parties and catered events for my family for years — and their food and hospitality haveput an extra touch of excellence on each of these occasions. I highly recommend Momento!! Read more
Off the beaten path! We really enjoy coming here and have had a few special occasion dinners here and have always been pleased.... The setting is lovely. The most recent visit there seemed to be a language barrier with our waitress but she was super nice justsome misunderstanding with drink orders. The bathroom was freezing so they could benefit from a space heater in there- just beprepared if you need to make a stop in there if it's winter!! Food is delicious Read more
