I was very impressed. This is an OLD DC staple that gets overlooked, so this was my first experience with The Monocle. WOW! Do they make you feel important. The staff perfectly times the event/meal, allowing time for drinks, appetizers, dinner, and dessert. Our food was DELICIOUS. The rockfish specials was probably the best rockfish that I had AND the potatoes OMG!! The own was also amazingly personable and so kind. He gives off the vibes of a real Maître d' from a time...
My husband and I came for a wee date night when in DC for a conference. It was amazing, the decor and ambiance, the service, the food! My husband had the rib eye and I had the hanger steak and they were both amazing. The potatoes gratin were AMAZING! Then the desserts! The pineapple cheesecake and the chocolate panna cotta were SO good. No complaints at all. Nothing negative to say!
As first-time visitors, we were charmed by The Monocle. Our waiter(s) provided excellent service and provided the perfect pace for our meal. The food was exceptionally delicious. We shared the crab Imperial, my partner had the 16-ounce steak special, and I had the filet. We shared the scalloped potatoes and creamed spinach. Due to the excellent pace of the dinner, we were able to share the lemon pie! It was a classic meal, and we understand why The Monocle is celebrating sixty-five...
