LA BELLE HELENE REVIEWS
Brunch was great. Our server was amazing and had a ton of suggestions. We did try mostly all his suggestions and had no room for birthday cake. The berry crepes, deviled eggs, bananas foster French toast and bacon omelette were very good. Our service was what made the whole experience and I wish I got his name but he was on top of everything. Never had to wait for anything but also gave us time to eat and chat.
Stunning restaurant. I visited for brunch on a Saturday. Not super busy. Food, pastries and coffee was great. Service was average. You’re definitely paying for the ambiance here. Can’t complain overall though.
The best service with the best server. Ruben was amazing and made this night memorable for four birthdays. Thank you. He even got me a Togo cup of sugar cubes for morning coffee.

Wonderful experience with some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Lamb was absolutely incredible. Service was top notch and our drinks were 10/10. I cannot wait to come here again. Thank you for an incredible birthday dinner.
Food, and service both were top-notch. The restaurant has a nice interior but could be little better in my opinion. I had lamb chops. It was excellent. The salmon was delicious too.

CAFE MONTE FRENCH BAKERY AND BISTRO REVIEWS
I really like this place. I had the crab cake on brioche and it was really (the crab cake was a little salty whenever I got bite without the veggies, but it wasn’t enough to impact the sandwich overall) The fries were phenomenal, light, very crispy & not greasy at all! I can’t wait to come back. I want to try their lunch menu, beignets and something from the pastry case next time! Kid-friendliness: The have a good kids menu. My daughter got the burger and loved it.
I had lunch at Cafe Monte on a recent Sunday afternoon. There was a long wait for a table, so I sat at the bar. There are so many good options on the menu, and it took me a while to order. My bartender recommended the short rib baguette with a side salad. It was outstanding. It was fun to sit at the bar, and I love everything about Cafe Monte. If I lived closer to this restaurant, I would eat here every week.
The food + service + atmosphere made this such a wonderful brunch experience!! Can’t recommend the beignets enough. They were so fluffy and light. The short rib sandwich and quiche Lorraine were also favorites.
