Our food was OK, but the service was poor. After sitting at our table for about 15 minutes, we had to ask a passing waiter how to get some service.

Overall A: great food, atmosphere, and service. Famous chicken sammie for weekday lunch; manager Emma particularly warm and inviting. Highly recommend.

We were interested in experiencing Monk's Tavern after a Check Please program where their lamb burger was highlighted. Well my experience was a very wet bottom bun and a so-so warm lamb patty. The overall flavor combination was nothing special.

Ashley

Just okay overall. Great beer list but the food was nothing special. The smashburger would have been food but they drowned it in pub cheese.

Kimberly

A charming, inviting place with many healthy and tempting choices on the menu. Great wines BTG available and reasonable pricing. We had a great business lunch there. Only complaint was that service sort of fell off at the end when we were trying to get our bill and clearly needed to leave, otherwise wonderful.

Soup was served lukewarm. Waiter (as before) was indifferent. We are never made to feel welcome or like valued guests the many times we have come

Doug

Wonderful, friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere. Food was terrific. Three of us had different options from the day's BBQ special menu and one ordered an Ahi Tuna sandwich. The tuna sandwich was outstanding - big filet of fresh tasting grilled fish on a bun with lettuce and various condiments. The servers helped us navigate the large selection of tap beers. Good food plus live music made our three hours dining at Monk's Kettle very enjoyable.

Food was solid. Service was ok, we sat on patio while a band was playing. It was busy. Overall solid place.

Perfect place to sit at the bar and chat to fellow customers and friendly staff. They have an excellent selection of good local beers that staff are interested and knowledgeable enough to talk about. Excellent pub grub too. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

13oz beers for the price of a pint.

Went here on the recommendation of a friend who liked it. They must have gone on a better day. While the staff were wonderful and friendly, they never refilled or water glasses once during our meal, which was really unfortunate because some of the food was so salty it was almost inedible.
We started out with the brussel sprouts, which were very tasty, but also very salty, moved on to the garlic Parm fries, which tested like they put all the salt for the fries in the brussel sprouts instead, bland. We them tried their tomato and fennel soup which had a great flavor, but again was so salty that no one could finish more than about a third of their bowls.
Or mains were a mixed bunch alternating from either being very bland, very mid, or so salty they were inedible.
We mentioned the overly salty meals to our waitress so I hope she told someone on the cook staff or management about it.
You guys really seem to have a hard time with consistency, which is really too bad because there is good potential there.
Hope you can do better in the future, but I and the group I went with will unfortunately not be going back.
