Our first time trying this hidden gem. I wish there was a way to give 100 stars. Everything about Monet's was perfection. The ambiance transports you to a little Cafe in France. The service was amazing, the food was amazing, the live music was amazing, the prices were amazing. We had a glass of red, a chocolate espresso martini, baked brie, bacon brie burger, lobster stuffed portobello, almond raspberry tart , cappuccino. Everything was perfection. Can not praise it enough. New favorite place. A must try' even if yu have to drive to get here. So worth it. Make a reservation now.

The ambience is super nice. The live music is nice and their dessert was really good. I had the salted caramel chocolate tart. The food was ok. I had the butternut gnocchi and it was fine I also added chicken for 9 dollars more but you only get like 4 pieces of small sliced chicken breast. My dad and boyfriend had the flank steak and honestly for almost 40 dollars this meal is just not worth it. It’s not a lot of food and you will still be hungry afterwards.

Had dinner here with my sister last night and it exceed all of my expectations. To find fine dining like this in a town this tiny is truly a diamond in the rough. A small, quiet, and intimate setting, the food was absolutely incredible, and the service was first class. The head chef, Tommy, even came out to our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Fantastic experience, I'll definitely be back.

A very warm and inviting atmosphere, the food is always 10/10. The clarinetist that plays there on occasion is such a delight, he’s been playing there for many years it’s a real treat to listen to. The service and wine offerings are always exceptional. It is pricey, but if fine dining is your thing, it will surely be a great dining experience. Located in adorable downtown of Exeter!

Had reservations.. owner said table would be ready in a few minutes. After 25 minute wait, was informed that she made a "mistake". She gave our table to a group of women who she appeared to know who had just walked in.. they had no wait. Only response from her was "my mistake". We left and fortunately La Fayette across the street was open and seated us immediately and their food was great! Will never go back to Monets.
