    I always look forward to going to Mona Lisa. I especially enjoy taking friends and family that have never been. Our guests enjoyed their meal however, there was no butter for the bread, the potatoes (my favorite) were lumpy and weirdly separated and the worst faux pas was there was NO béarnaise sauce for the Oscar Style steak. The steak was excellent, but it was disappointing not to have the sauce. 2 out of 3 visits I’ve had issues ordering a steak Oscar Style. For the prices, these issues shouldn’t happen. I’ll still look forward to eating at Mona Lisa, but do better.
