Monarch Restaurant

The atmosphere was great. Cool, moody, and classy. The drink menu looked fun, but we chose wine instead. Our waitress was fun, knowledgeable, and attentive. She asked if we were going to a show nearby to ensure our dining experience would be done in time! Food was great. I got the tortellini pesto but subbed for homemade noodles. I added salmon and it was great! Lacked a bit of flavor for me, but not complaining.

I cannot begin to express how much my husband and I loved our experience here! We made reservations for dinner after our courthouse wedding and we were treated like royalty. Our friends and family had a wonderful time! The food, the service, the atmosphere, etc. Just perfect. Staff were so unbelievably kind. They served deliciously bubbly champagne for all of us while we waited for our table and provided a decadent dessert on the house. They spoke on the history of the restaurant and hotel which us history buffs enjoyed. The decor was just beautiful. The everyday decor and the seasonal as well. We loved taking some pictures in front of the Christmas tree. I highly recommend this restaurant for any celebration or just a simple dinner. You will not be disappointed!

We made a Saturday evening reservation at Monarch, which ended up being unnecessary as only three tables were occupied the entire time we were there. We were excited to give it a try but ultimately left disappointed. We started off with the charcuterie board appetizer. It was visually appealing but for the $24 price tag we all agreed it was alright but not something we would get again. Unfortunately our steaks also came out not at the temperatures we had requested. Sadly our service was another low point. This was surprising since the restaurant was fairly empty. Despite the majority of the gorgeous interior having empty tables, we were seated next to a dirty rag/silverware station rather than the beautiful empty booths while walking to the bathroom. Our server was hard to find and we had to repeatedly ask for simple things such as water refills. To top things off, there was zero music which felt quite awkward. For a bill that totaled over $350, we expected a much better dining experience. With the abundance of restaurants in the area, I would not recommend Monarch.

We visited Monarch based on glowing reviews it recently received, unfortunately the experience did not meet expectations. The prices seemed reasonable, the menu is varied enough to guarantee something for everyone, and the atmosphere was really lovely. Great art deco design with a nice ambience. The seating was comfortable. Food and drinks were provided with good timing. The service was subpar. Appetizers were brought to the table by the expo without plates and our server never not followed-up after they were delivered. After several moments we needed to ask someone else for plates. Ordered soup never arrived. Our meals were delivered by the expo and our server didn't return to our table to check on our entrees, to check on us, see if we needed anything else, etc.. Our finished plates weren't cleared until well after we finished. The meals were fine. All of the proteins were cooked well, but the dishes lacked the flavorful experience we were expecting. Very straightforward I do not recommend Monarch.

Second visit before a stage show. Prices on new menu are sharply up and too much for the offerings. Brussel sprouts no longer on the menu. Mussels are small and paired poorly with chorizo. Absolutely the worst hangar steak ive ever had. A third was inedible grizzle. Wonderful sea bass really. Placing the fish on a bed of fetuccine was an uninspired flop at best, slothful otherwise. Scallops were good. Probably a better pairing than risotta could be presented. Beet salad was wonderful! Service was excellent. Will not be back.

Tried to have breakfast this morning. Restaurant had 1 table seated, yet just getting seated took over 5 min. Got sat down and we have waited over 40 min for food. Food was meh at best. Didn’t even refill my empty water. Complete dumpster fire of a place. don’t go here!!!

What an upscale place to go to. Any kind of drink you want great appetizers and great entrees. Thank you jaz for the great service as always Will be back for sure

Tasteful atmosphere. Jack was attentive server, never intruding. We started with steak tartare which was perfectly served and portions for three adults. Suggested wine pairings for the chicken roulade, beef Wellington and steak were spot on. Meal presentation was was fit for aking. A wonderful Friday night surprise.
