We had such a great experience at The Monroe. This place honestly deserves the hype.

The food overall was excellent. Nothing we had was bad, but some dishes definitely stood out more than others.

The jalapeño popper deviled eggs were insane and easily my favorite. The General Tso cauliflower was perfectly crispy and flavorful and ended up being my husband’s favorite. The fried chicken is huge and comes with what feels like four sides, so it’s more than enough...read full review

The Monroe was fantastic! From the atmosphere to the food and service, everything was spot on.

The Monroe was excellent—great vibe, food, and service. My first drink missed the mark, but the staff and manager went above and beyond to fix it. Mistakes happen, but how they handled it truly made the experience shine. Kudos to the team!
