Second visit before a stage show. Prices on new menu are sharply up and too much for the offerings. Brussel sprouts no longer on the menu. Mussels are small and paired poorly with chorizo. Absolutely the worst hangar steak ive ever had. A third was inedible grizzle. Wonderful sea bass really. Placing the fish on a bed of fetuccine was an uninspired flop at best, slothful otherwise. Scallops were good. Probably a better pairing than risotta could be presented. Beet salad was wonderful! Service was excellent. Will not be back.

We visited Monarch based on glowing reviews it recently received, unfortunately the experience did not meet expectations.
The prices seemed reasonable, the menu is varied enough to guarantee something for everyone, and the atmosphere was really lovely. Great art deco design with a nice ambience. The seating was comfortable. Food and drinks were provided with good timing.
The service was subpar. Appetizers were brought to the table by the expo without plates and our server never not followed-up after they were delivered. After several moments we needed to ask someone else for plates.
Ordered soup never arrived.
Our meals were delivered by the expo and our server didn't return to our table to check on our entrees, to check on us, see if we needed anything else, etc..
Our finished plates weren't cleared until well after we finished.
The meals were fine. All of the proteins were cooked well, but the dishes lacked the flavorful experience we were expecting. Very straightforward
I do not recommend Monarch.

The atmosphere was great. Cool, moody, and classy. The drink menu looked fun, but we chose wine instead. Our waitress was fun, knowledgeable, and attentive. She asked if we were going to a show nearby to ensure our dining experience would be done in time! Food was great. I got the tortellini pesto but subbed for homemade noodles. I added salmon and it was great! Lacked a bit of flavor for me, but not complaining.

The mussels - amazing! The grilled asparagus - good, but nothing special. The berry salad - I had the salmon add and my husband the steak add - they were BOTH so good. We'd be back here again!
Leanna
It was wonderful. The music was low so we could visit! The food was excellent. The waitress was friendly and made us feel welcome. I would strongly recommend the Monarch!
Cooper
Very good food, value was pretty pricey 2 people and meals, 2 drinks and an appetizer was around $180 but I got the steak frites steak had good taste but was a tad tough, and fries were decent. I should have ordered fillet but overall was very good. Service is fanatic always checking on you and how food is. Would definitely recommend if your looking to go out and don't mind a bit of price tag

I cannot begin to express how much my husband and I loved our experience here!
We made reservations for dinner after our courthouse wedding and we were treated like royalty. Our friends and family had a wonderful time! The food, the service, the atmosphere, etc. Just perfect.
Staff were so unbelievably kind. They served deliciously bubbly champagne for all of us while we waited for our table and provided a decadent dessert on the house. They spoke on the history of the restaurant and hotel which us history buffs enjoyed.
The decor was just beautiful. The everyday decor and the seasonal as well. We loved taking some pictures in front of the Christmas tree.
I highly recommend this restaurant for any celebration or just a simple dinner. You will not be disappointed!

Decor is amazing. Service and food not so much. We went on a weekday evening. Only two tables. We never got our appetizer. Water glasses never refilled. Steak was room temperature. For what we spent we could have had a meal at Mahogany which never disappoints.

Tasteful atmosphere. Jack was attentive server, never intruding. We started with steak tartare which was perfectly served and portions for three adults. Suggested wine pairings for the chicken roulade, beef Wellington and steak were spot on. Meal presentation was was fit for aking. A wonderful Friday night surprise.

Very good atmosphere, Server was very kind, but this restaurant has no idea what they are doing. Plates were dirty, and graciously replaced. Appetizers were average, but came out without plates, all four of us ordered steaks. One was overcooked, one was warm, two were cold. Underseasoned, overcooked, and generally flavorless.
This restaurant will not be around long, even with a built-in customer base from the hotel. Food is far too expensive for the lackluster quality

Service was great, very attentive and helpful with recommendations for a first time patron. Food was great and well worth the visit.
