Definitely a 5 star restraint, we go here every wedding anniversary, it’s in our category of one of the best restraints west of the Mississippi, enjoy !
Love the fact the place is comfortable, the staff was great and the Food was amazing. During our meal the owner came out and said hello. Top Notch.
I am French and I approve this restaurant 👍. The chicken was very well cooked, the sauce was really good too. The vegetable gratin and the gratin dauphinois was perfectly cooked. We try also the profiteroles and that was spectacular. Proportions are perfect and the team was friendly.
The food and the service was excellent. We always come here to eat for a special day and everything we have tried here is perfect.
Our server was very friendly, kind, and checked on us several times. He took the time to explain every dish and never made us feel rushed. Onto the food, we started with the shrimp and scallop dish which was savory and the cheese on top was cooked to give the perfect crunch. Th lamb and filet mignon were cooked to perfection and served with the most exquisite sauces. The Crème brûlée and was Devine and we had this egg white served with crème and caramel that was light and fluffy. I’ve lived in Ridgecrest my whole life and regret not going sooner!
Absolutely wonderful experience! The food was phenomenal, the atmosphere is superb, and the staff are simply amazing. Whether you are looking for a beautiful date night, or a fun night with friends this place is for you ❤️
We spent our anniversary dinner at Mon reve last night and we couldn't have been happier! The service was amazing the food was even better. My husband and I will definitely be coming back!! If you're looking for a place for date night I'd definitely try this place. Eat new food, very intimate and absolutely recommend!!
This was some of the best food I have ever had, of any cuisine. I cannot give them any higher praise. If you come to Ridgecrest, you *must* come here for dinner. We came back to Mon Reve a second day in a row, because we do not know when we will be back in Ridgecrest and to miss a meal here would be an absolute travesty. The energy, the effort, the caring that goes into every meal and into the service is readily apparent. When someone loves what they do, it cannot help but be evident in every meal. Having had the ability to sample pretty much everything on the menu in these two days, I can absolutely say that this is some of the best food I have ever had. Every dish is well thought out, properly seasoned before it ever reaches the table, and is served with exquisitely prepared sides of your choice. The location allows them to provide a level of service that is second to none. Prompt attention in an intimate setting is absolutely perfectly paired with the cuisine. Mon Reve is a treasure and an absolute boon to the city of Ridgecrest.
We were just passing through on our trip, and this place was a recommendation - a good one! The place is nondescript from the outside, yet offers a very nice place for dinner. The welcome & the service were very nice. Although fully booked we were offered a table - nice! The food was simple and delicious - love it! Not too many dishes on the menu; and that’s all it needs. Food made with dedication and love. If you pass through Ridgecrest, make sure you stop at “Mon Reve”.
OMG. The answer is YES. Absolutely amazing, delicious, delightful, no words to express how good, speechless. All I can say is this the first time I gave a tip greater than the actual bill! So it’s clear how I feel about the food and the service. This is also the second restaurant that has brought me to tears because the food is that good. So fresh and everything made from scratch. My stomach is very sensitive so I know immediately from eating if my body agrees with the food or not. I don’t even feel like I ate, my stomach is so content! Don’t feel over saturated or full. I feel so good and amazing and this is how food is supposed to make you feel.
