    I grew up right across the bridge from the Molly Pitcher. We never could imagine dining at this famous place. Today, after many decades, I had the great good fortune to brunch here with an old friend. I have to say, I was not prepared for the quality of the entire experience. From welcoming ambiance, to drop- dead view to luscious food and impeccable service, it was more than I could have hoped for. San Francisco eateries have nothing on the MPI! I will absolutely dine here every time I am back this way.

    We always enjoy our time and meals at d'jest. The ambience is a modern, social vibe. As always, restaurants in strip malls can be deceiving. The farm-to-table selections, the close proximity to the semi-open kitchen, and the BYOB option make this a favorite choice for us. Someone in our party had the pork chop. with not a morsel left on the plate. I enjoyed the spaghetti squash bolognese...yum with fresh vegetables for the sauce. Another diner finished her pasta dish. As always, our server was friendly and welcoming.

    Great restaurant! So many plain old pizza joints. Here you have a restaurant that makes u feel like u r special. A hidden gem. People must think it is just for banquets and not for the general public. Views are fantastic and food is excellent and staff is great!

    My sister and I went because I own shares on a horse who was racing. The staff was so helpful, welcoming, and attentive. Not only did they provide excellent service they went above and beyond to make sure we knew where everything was since it was our first visit to Monmouth. We look forward to visiting them again!
