Chef-Driven Private Dining in Beaumont, TX

“It's more than a restaurant. It's an artful, flavorful experience...”

How is a farm fresh, locally-sourced, hand-crafted restaurant in Southeast Texas not a restaurant?

Chef Monica Cobb’s traditional restaurant has evolved into something far more intentional: an exclusive private dining experience centered around gathering, storytelling, and adventurous flavor.

From birthday parties and family gatherings to business-class dinners, proposal evenings, and intimate celebrations, Monica’s offers a chef-driven experience rooted in hospitality, romance, and the spirit of the Third Coast. 

And every now and then comes a little renegade magic: the occasional Banh Mon lunch pop-up.

Welcome to Monica’s. Full of love, life, and adventurous flavor.

“After years of owning and running my beloved restaurant, I‘m taking dinner to another level for a more personal approach; taking chaos out of the kitchen and creating peace. I’ve combined my passions of cooking, creating, and sharing moments with people. It’s a unique, distinct, joyful and artful dinner experience from my heart to yours!”
