While Monjunis Cafe offers a delightful dining experience with delicious shrimp appetizers and the sampler entree, there's a minor aspect that keeps me from rating it a full five stars. However, it remains a great option for those looking for a tasty meal in a...

I ate here when I was very much younger and was kinda excited to eat here again. My husband and I stopped by for lunch since we were in town. The decor was a little shocking to say the least but we decided to give it a try. The waitress came and took our order. That's when we really started looking around. The ceiling is decorated with what looks like old Christmas tree limbs intertwined with artificial grape vines and Christmas lights with grape bunches hanging down. THEN... there are Japanese Lanterns hanging down. Upon a closer look the very outdated ceiling garlands are covered in a very thick layer of dust and grime. (See pictures) The waitress then brought a basket of toasted bread and marinara sauce for dipping. The marinara was a little on the sweet side for our liking but we thought ok, the entrée would balance it out. He ordered the shrimp Alfredo. The shrimp were cooked good and he said they were tasty but the Alfredo sauce was less the amount than he expected and it was very grainy. I ordered the lunch Lasagna. It arrived and I was surprised at the large portion. The only drawback was it was drowning in a pool of sauce. The same marinara sauce!! After a few bites I was thankful for the sauce because the Lasagna was very dry. It had plenty of layers but very little, if any, sauce between the layers. If the sauce had been more savory I probably could have eaten more. It was hard to relax and try to enjoy anything when you're afraid a dust bunny from the ceiling may decide to hop down on your plate. It's time to replace the...

It is almost perfection in Italian food. Wow whete do I begin we had garlic bread sticks and sauce. Marvelous but.They used to give you complimentary toasted bread crisps and sauce. They bring out 3 pieces of half slice bread criss and sauce with meal or if you ask them and are a regular. Shame them they knew I was asking for the free stuff but played dumb and brought me larger bread sticks not as crispy and not as much sauce. They make a sweet marinara sauce. I don't like their sweet as much I did the basil sauce. They have a marvelous shrimp salad big enough for 2 and loaded with shrimp slightly spicy. My hubby likes the shrimp toast appetizer. He eats as his meal. 4 slices of bread brushed olive oil with garlic piled high with fat shrimp then marinara sauce with cheese melted on top. He does not share. I like a dish called shrimp aurora. This dish is big enough for 2. A large platter/bowl is first loaded with mozzarella cheese and then top with shrimp. They are in a sauce of. Marinara and alfredo blended together. Heaven! Noodles then more cheese and sauce then more shrimp covered in Sauce and topped off by cheese. I am drooling now. But I will take my leftover home to reheat to save room for the best bread pudding out side of Cajun Country. He also makes a 4 layer Italian creme cake!! It is a hard choice. They have a wonderful spiced tea. Prices are average. You can buy bags of toasted bread and jars of sauce. Be hungry or like leftovers, or bring a...
