    The food at mompou was great. Modern and fresh. Menu was pretty big. Tuna was nice. Drinks were great with entertaining names. Ambiance had a really great feel between classic and modern very well put together. I would bring people I like here. The service was OK - the food running worked but we weren’t watered by default which was odd.

    Excellent. Only one part of order got mixed up but since our overall experience was great, it was not a big deal. Staff were friendly.
