    Mona is Philly’s newest Mediterranean restaurant and bar, featuring multiple levels of food, drinks, and fun. The vibes are out of this world and you truly feel like you’ve been teleported to Europe. The decor is just breath taking and I feel like there was so many amazing details at every single turn. The media party for this spot was nothing short of epic - from live entertainment and fantastic drinks, this was quite the party. I cannot wait to come back & have a full dining experience at Mona - if it’s half as great as this party, I’ll be so impressed! When you go to Mona, grab some stuffed grape leaves & be sure to tell ‘em PFAB sent ya! 📍1308 Chestnut Street Philadelphia PA 19102📍 Thanks for the epic time @punchmediapr @monaphiladelphia 🥵❤️

    I'll admit this place wasn't for us from the get go. It's an Instagram friendly but not foodie friendly.

    The restaurant is beautiful, don't get me wrong. However, when my party (of 3) entered 10 minutes before my reservation time, I was told that there weren't any tables available, and that I should wait until my reservation time to be seated. I waited about 20 feet from the maitre'd, and as parties entered after me (all of whom were trying to make their 7pm reservation, just like me), they were seated before me. I waited patiently until 7:15, at which time I went up and asked if I could now be seated. I was told reluctantly that a high top table was available if I wanted it. So while the restaurant was beautiful and the energy was great, I was disappointed by the way I was treated as soon as I walked in the door. However, our server was lovely and the restaurant's manager even came to my table to ask us how the food was. I would recommend this restaurant overall, but I hope whoever goes next has a better experience getting seated than we did :)

    The venue itself is very pleasant. The lighting gives it a good ambiance. The food was not great. Most of the dishes needed some kind of condiment. Has so much great potential!

    Absolutely amazing food and our server, Caitie was fantastic. We ate family style to try several things on the menu and nothing disappointed. The noise level in the restaurant is moderate - when we were there almost no patrons, but the music was still reasonably loud. I can't imagine it when its full. The hostess was generally unhappy when we arrived which was a bit off putting. And despite having a reservation and almost no one being in the restaurant, she initially put us in a table with almost no space and we asked for an alternate table which she reluctantly gave us. It wasn't a great first impression, but the food service and quality made up for it!
