Monarch Bay Beach Club

We were here for an anniversary dinner. The views and atmosphere were great. The food was hit or miss. My husband’s food was great. I got the catch of the day, flounder. It was not seasoned, my plate was getting luke warm by the time it got to the table and the vegetables were cold.

Overall great place as atmosphere.
Service needs major overhaul.
I believe you can visit only as member of the club or guest of Waldorf Astoria.
Good amount of amenities for a beach club.

I love it!

We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria however the Monarch Bay Beach Club shined-Our server Kristen was absolutely fantastic! Attentive, friendly, and truly made our experience feel special from start to finish. Manager Mado also went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us [unfortunately the Waldorf didn't do anything special for our celebration] The food was absolutely delicious, and we chose the Beach Club for our meals over the resort. Kristen and Mado turned our stay and experience around!

Visited the beach club during our stay on property. Lunch on the outdoor deck was wonderful! Beautiful views, great food and friendly service. I highly recommend the crab stack appetizer, the chips with salsa and guacamole were yummy and paired perfectly with a margarita. After lunch, we made our way down to chairs and an umbrella that the beach team had set up for us, which was really relaxing. Taking in the tranquility of the ocean is always a treat! There was a little bit of a wait to have the chairs set however it was worth it and the valet was friendly and working hard to get it all done. There is a tram that takes you from the resort down to the beach club, which is really helpful. I suggested going earlier rather than later to make a day of it!

Great views and food. Staff is amazing and very friendly. The fried chicken sandwich is spicy, so recommend getting the sauces on the side if you have low spice tolerance.

Terrible experience due to staff negligence and poor communication.

My husband and I came to this restaurant after finding it on Google Maps, excited to enjoy the ocean view. Upon arrival, we approached the hostess and asked for a table for two. We were immediately asked if we had a reservation or if we were club members. We said no to both, and they told us to wait and that they would seat us soon.

We waited 50 minutes, after which we were finally seated. We started to place our order, only to be told we couldn't dine there because we were not club members. This was extremely confusing and upsetting, as we had made our status clear from the beginning.

A manager was called over and told us that they do not accept payment by cash or card — only charges to room numbers — and asked us to leave the restaurant. No apology, no explanation, just a cold and disrespectful dismissal.

This experience was not only frustrating but humiliating. The lack of clear communication and basic hospitality was shocking for a place that markets itself as a high-end destination. If you're not a member, do not waste your time — they won’t tell you upfront that you can’t eat here, but they’ll gladly make you wait and then kick you out.

Food was very good. The fish is delicious and the truffle fries taste amazing.
We stayed 3 nights at the Waldorf and went here for dinner every night. The views are beautiful. The most impressive thing about it is that the service is outstanding. We had two really good waitresses . There names were Alexis and Lauren. Next trip to Waldorf we will be back for more delicious food and welcoming service. Also all the dessert we got were amazing.

The Monarch Bay Beach Club was a fantastic place to relax, eat, drink, and enjoy the beautiful views. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Jaclyn was truly superb in her service! The blackened shrimp tacos were a little spicy for me, but that is not a surprise as most foods are. But they were so delicious! The other thing that impressed us was how family friendly it was. There were people of all ages, laughing and enjoying each other's company. This is a great place to gather with friends or family!
