“I was greeted pleasantly at the wait to be seated area and was allowed to pick from 2 different tables. I picked a table that I could watch Messi in the world cup and also watch the planes land at Palomar airport. My drink order was taken immediately and not long after she put my food order in. I ordered a burger and Parmesan fries. I would have liked some free bread or snacks to eat while waiting for my burger. I was by myself and happy to see they allow dogs. I had a very good girl sitting at the next table over. Carlsbad Brewing Company has a very large selection of IPAs and beers of all kinds. The server helped me choose. She picked a good one. When my burger arrived it was the tallest burger I had ever seen. I had to smush it down a little to fit it in my mouth. Even with that I was making a mess. But it was one of the best burgers I've ever had so it was worth the mess. Even though I couldn't finish the burger I ordered the ice cream Sunday and it was also delicious. 10/10 would come again. Highly recommend.“

““I traveled to Del Mar specifically to experience Monarch’s sunset toast, and it exceeded every expectation I had. The view is breathtaking, the food and cocktails were wonderful, and the atmosphere is truly unforgettable.

What made the evening so special, though, was the incredible staff. Sydney welcomed me with such kindness from my very first phone call through my arrival. My server, Dani, provided warm, attentive service that made me feel completely at home. After the sunset toast, Eric, the manager, took the time to personally introduce himself, share a hug, and make what was already a meaningful evening even more memorable.

This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone at Monarch for your genuine hospitality and for creating such a beautiful tradition. I’ll absolutely be back.“
