Reviews for Monica's Riverview in Antioch, CA
The place was very clean, service was fast (we came during the week for lunch). I love that they serve breakfast until 2pm. Our... food was delicious and the price was great. I really appreciate that they split our dishes without asking, after i told them itwas so hard to decide so my brother and i were going to share our dishes with each other so we could taste both dishes. The onlything i wish they would consider is letting you sit outside during lunch hours. The day was beautiful and it would've been niceto sit outside to soak up the view, not a deal breaker of course. I'll definitely be coming back!! Read more
5 stars because of the Bakery and the Delta view provided at this venue. Frankly most of Antioch is a place where one must... often look over their shoulder — at least at Monica’s one can be at ease. The food is delicious, the staff while often a bitstretched is friendly & courteous, it has a diverse arrangement of places to dine and drink. The fire pits can be enjoyable on achilly night or day especially with a drink in hand! While you may full indulgent don't let that hinder the good time to behad. They have live music which draws a crowd but that is great if your trying to enjoy an evening or socializing. Sundays arevery busy after 10 a.m. onward. The bakery while not open Monday’s offers throughout the rest of the week a fine array ofdecadent treats that would make your trainer blush. It handily puts the competition in its place. A fine place indeed, thatprovides an escape which in my estimation is worth every penny! Read more
My family decided to celebrate my late granny's birthday. I am always skeptical of places with low star ratings, but I said to... myself, try it anyway! Upon arrival it was hard to find, but I blame myself for that. I called to ask what they were by and theguy told me to go through a gate where it looks like you shouldn't hold through. ... oh okay ????. ... the parking lot wassmall, but I found a park right away. They have a nice sized patio and the ambiance was cool. The menu items were few, but Iordered coconut prawns that were fried shrimp, with the slightest hint of coconut, served with an aioli instead of a sweetsauce; and garlic fies that I didn't get. I tried their raspberry margarita and a raspberry-mango margarita with Don Julio. ..they were good. I then ordered crispy chicken sliders and asked him to add the veggie toppings and to bring my fries out withthem since I never received them. . ..this was also sub par. The best thing I ate was bread and butter. All of this including a20% tip was $101 ???????? definitely not worth it. The brunch menu looked better, so maybe I'll try that. Read more
Delta view dining at its best. We’ve visited twice. Once for brunch. We both had the crab sandwich, as crab lovers we had to.... It was delicious. We also had the mimosa flight. It’s a great deal for sampling while you dine. The second time we enjoyed acocktail before venturing off somewhere else. There was a band playing that day. Very entertaining. It’s a great place tohang with family and friends. Read more
Let me start with the food, since that's most of what people care about. It's good food, we tried the French Dip, Bruschetta,... Garlic Fries, Pasta and more. Everything was good, but nothing was great food wise. But no one was unhappy with their order. Thedrink selection is solid, lots of draft beer options, and some tasty specialty cocktails. The Pineapple Martini is a standoutfor sure. The thing that makes this a 5 star is really the facility, location, and staff. The restaurant and bar are reallywell done. They are clean and comfortable and they look good. The outdoor patios are large and great, and of course the view isgorgeous. I'd definitely go again. Read more
The place looks amazing! The breakfast wasn't that good to me. My bacon wasn't done so I sent it back. They did try to make it... again and it was still super chewy/ wiggly. The pancakes were darker than I wanted and too sweet. The potatoes were excellent!And the mimosas were wonderful. The wait staff is also a huge plus.....our waitresses were friendly and very attentive. Read more
Portions are great for price. All the food pictured below was delicious. The fruit was fresh and the whip cream on the waffle... was great! The raspberry margarita was good. The Hawaiian mimosa was also sweet and yummy! We went on a Saturday morning andthere was no wait time. The views are nice. They have a full bar! I enjoyed the food but it didn’t give me that wow factor Iwas hoping. Will come back to try their lunch options. Read more
No reservations on Sunday, the bar is open seating but we were told the servers are busy so they get to you when they can. We... ordered drinks from the bar which were very good, the live band was fantastic. I kept our table that was on the waiting list,then proceeded to order the 2 hour unlimited mimosa, $25 each, well worth it. Finally our food came.....well worth the wait. Allin all worth the wait and will become a monthly brunch spot. Read more
