We had the best unexpected Argentine meal and wine pairing tonight. The atmosphere was friendly and cozy. The yucca appetizer was amazing. The Argentine New York Steak, chorizo, blood sausage, and polenta was phenomenal! The wine pairing was perfect. I highly recommend. We will come back for the French food!!! Service was also so friendly and casual, you will love it .

Service was great, ambiance on point and it made you feel like you were in a little cafe in Paris. This charming-French restaurant in in the small town of Exeter, which you would only drive by if you were heading to three rivers towards Sequoia. Exeter has quaint vibe and some of the must adorable antique shops. The food was delicious, portions were good, and the dessert "Tres Magnifique". Our large party walked out happy from this donning experience.

This was such a romantic tiny restaurant. The food was fabulous and the service was great. Ordered an espresso martini and it was one of the best I have had. We ate here on vacation and it did not disappoint.

High quality dining in the sleepy town of Exeter. Great street location which makes outside dining interesting.The Pesto Salmon at over $30 for takeout was worth it.MY GRADE: A minus.

Monet's is a wonderful hidden gem in Exeter! The Vibe is perfect for those who don't want loud and fast paced! Completely relaxed atmosphere with the on site musician, who is a wonderful clarinetist. The service is superb! We never had to wave down staff, or ask for anything! Everything was offered to us and served in a reasonable timeframe. The menu is small which is something I always look for! It leaves room for the chef to create amazing dishes, which is exactly what happens here! The Lavender Brie is my fave! We also had the opportunity to meet the owners, who are absolutely amazing and kind! Highly recommended, will always return when I need to unwind and just enjoy myself.

The day we visited Monet's was the day before Mother's Day, on a Saturday and also what seemed to be prom day for the local high school so as you can imagine it was a very busy day for Monet's and service was probably slower than usual. It took a while to get served water and it took about 1.5 hours until our appetizer came to the table. This was because the server also forgot to put in our order. We ordered a spinach artichoke dip with lobster for the appetizer and it came with some French baguette slices. The flavor of the cheese and lobster was very rich. We really enjoyed this dish!Next our salads came and it consisted of strawberries, cheese consisting of strips of purple in it (some kind of wine cheese), and walnuts came. I enjoyed this as well. For the entree I had a Filet Minon with mash and vegetables on the side. The filet Minon was cooked perfectly and the tomato based sauce added another dimension to it. The sautéed vegetables were also very delicious. I would definitely recommend adding a little more flavor to the mash potatoes though as they were a bit bland and too acidic.Lastly, we got three types of desserts. The crème brûlée, the raspberry almond tart and a lavender cheesecake. All three desserts were divine.The restaurant itself was very cutely decorated and it definitely dir give French cafe/restaurant vibes.Although the service was slow, the restaurant ended up compensating us all of our beverages as well as one dessert so I would definitely give this place another chance!

Went here on a Tuesday night for dinner. The restaurant is very small and there were only 2 other tables there when my party of 2 arrived. By the time we sat down one of the tables had left. It took very long (20 mins) to get our orders put in considering that we were the only ones there that had just been seated. The other table was alrdy done eating. When the food finally did come out it was good I'm not gonna lie but for the slow service I will not be returning, especially at the price that they charge.

Atmosphere is amazing. Staff is very inviting and attentive. Honey lavender drink is absolutely amazing! Pistachio crusted salmon cooked to perfection; possibly the best I've ever tasted.

Food was delicious, nice ambiance, hidden gem in a smallish town. I stopped on the way from California to Oregon. 15 miles off the Highway. Worth the trip.

Monet's food is top notch, service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is fine dining but still comfortable and welcoming. Let's get back to the food... it's so very good and obviously prepared by a talented chef. Saying the food is good or even great, doesn't cut it. It's a true dining experience. Get the Lavender Brie, even if you only go for that.
