Monet's Table to Reopen as Restaurant This Spring

Tolland catering business Monet's Table will be moving back into its former location on Route 74 at the end of this year, as Lepri's Grill is shutting up shop.

Owner Debra Bahler said that the business will tentatively move back into the building on December 1 to expand its catering services. She said that the restaurant will serve brunch and lunch beginning on April 1.

"We're thrilled," Bahler said. "All of the old staff is very excited. I've been getting a lot of calls from everbody who used to work here."

Bahler, who owns the building that formerly housed Zest and Lepri's Grill, said that she opened Monet's Table as a restaurant back in 1997. She switched her focus to catering about 12 years later.

The catering menus for Monet's Table are available on the restaurant's website. Bahler said that the cost of the entrees will not exceed $13. 

The owners of Lepri's Grill could not be reached for comment by the time of publication. Frank and Deborah Lepri also own Trattoria da Lepri and Lepri's Burger Bar in Ellington. The Tolland branch was opened in March 2012.
