"Of all the restaurants run by James Beard-nominated restaurateurs Jason and Sue Chin, The Monroe may very well be their most fetching. And the interior’s tropical mid-mod beauty is matched by a menu of modern comfort fare that’s equally eye-catching. Chef Nikk Burton’s dishes straddle the line between approachable (Buffalo chicken eggrolls) and sophisticated (coffee-crusted Cheshire pork chop), but the restaurant’s famous fried chicken — using the best from Bell & Evans — is arguably some of the best served in the city." - Faiyaz Kara
