Bar Monette

The. Food. Is. Incredible!! We got the Potato Agnolotti, and it's one of the best things to ever touch my tongue. The A5 Wagyu Rip Cap allllmost melts in your mouth. The compliment of the Shishito peppers is fantastic. The Margherita Pizza is so simple and yet delicious. The Aged Parmasean and Truffel Honey pizza was perfection We could have done without the sauces for the crust because we were too full to eat the crust. The service started great bc the host was fantastic. Our waitress started out well too (although she upsold us every chance she got) My wife was in LA for a work conference and can only expense so much per meal, and I tried to explain that we need two separate checks. The waitress dismissed me and said, "I'll split it when you pay." Long story short, she was in a rush, didnt listen well and because of that, had to change our bill 3 times. It took 20 minutes to pay after we finished eating. The bill snafu aside, don't miss your chance to go here. We showed up 10 mins before open to ensure we got it.

Fire Za and pasta. Took my team there and everyone loved it! Not too heavy, and the perfect amount of food.

What a phenomenal experience all around. The host, whose name is Hallelujah, sets the tone as soon as you walk in. He had a great energy and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Every single dish that came out was perfect. The pear endive salad was nice and light, not too sweet. I don’t even like caviar, but I still ate the potato angelloti that had caviar mixed in with the sauce. The bolognese tortellini was so good. The wagyu was really nicely rendered, but still a nice temp. The pizza was nice and crispy. It’s been a while since I had a meal that good. Will definitely be back.

Good pizza yet not perfect. A bit of more salt to the dough and more balanced marinara sauce would be better. Theyre trying to sell you more food than you need, the A5 wagyu meat was bad. Its been served with such a sweet sauce.

Really impressed with the pizza here. Perfectly seasoned and the crust was to die for. The wagyu was also really tasty and perfectly balanced. Really good wine selection too, definitely worth the drive to Santa Monica

Sad to be throwing this place a 3/5. While the ambiance was pretty great, the lighting could've been more dim and there was a slight odor of cleaning supplies (?) circulating the air. The service was by FAR our biggest qualm. The staff wasn't particularly warm or friendly--specifically, we felt more like nuisances than not with our waitress who we quickly chalked up to someone that "must be having a bad day." The hostess approached us randomly saying bar seating is set to 2hr and the next reservation is here so when you're ready to go. We weren't told when seated about the 2hr limit and still had half a glass of wine left, leaving us feeling blind sighted, rushed, and, again, more like nuisances. Despite the high pricing, the food was pretty good and they had a good decent wine selection. Unfort, I suspect this will be a "one and done" LA resto for us.

The pizzas are unique and tasty. You have to try one or two!

It was bad experience, that’s what all what i want to say. Food never comes together although we order same orders. It took them 30 minutes for each order total of 2 hours. Service was not good.
