Very, very busy when we visited on a weekend for lunch at 1 pm. The wait was going to be for more than an hour, but we were sat down immediately at the bar. The food is extremely good, we ordered a breakfast burrito with hash browns, huevo rancheros, and a Cali omelet with bacon. There seems to be more customers than what the employees can handle, but the service was wonderful nonetheless.

Monica's restaurant is a midtown gathering place. A spacious place with a covered outdoor dining area. Monica's Livermore offers a varied menu selection. Portions are shareable, presented well, and delicious. Service is prompt and cheerful. If you are looking for a place to grab a cup of coffee and tasty sweets, look no further. The price point is at the market level for the Livermore area.

Great food, service, and dog friendly place. Will definitely come again. Burger on a sourdough breads were delicious. A lot of fried chicken with waffles. Real boney chicken. Not chicken tenders.

This place was super amazing. Great experience from start to finish. The host was ready and friendly. The staff did s great job working together bring drinks, food, taking our order, and even cleaning off the table. The waitress was professional and friendly and had perfect recommendations and worked well with us. She even new when to bring the check at the most perfect time not rushing us but letting us chill which was nice since it was a family gathering where we hadn't seen each other in forever. Food *chefs kiss* everything done perfectly. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Met at Monica's when visiting family. Hot day on patio but food was extraordinary. Lemon ricotta pancakes were better than other restaurants with a sweet lemon glaze. Avocado toast on small side but 2 pieces provided, eggs are served on the side. Gluten free son enjoyed basic eggs, bacon combo and gf bun available. Can't wait to return for another iced honey lavender oatmilk latte.

The service here was great they were super friendly and attentive. The food was pretty good but I wouldn’t recommend the biscuits and gravy. Unfortunately the biscuits were super hard and the gravy didn’t taste like much. The French toast and the big sandwich were pretty good so I’d recommend that instead. They had a really good drink menu so definitely worth checking out.

Great breakfast/ brunch place. Very quick in serving the order. Food was delicious. It can get very busy so either be ready to stand in line or come early, they do not take reservations. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
