Their pecan chicken and lamb are “to die for”. We have been there many times, but I keep ordering the same thing, because I just can’t get enough of it. I am sure everything on the menu is delicious. Save room for dessert.

Went to dinner as part of the winterlicious special they had going on with my family. The food was delicious and the portion sizes are incredible. Our waitress was very friendly. The only downsize to the dinner, was that our dessert order was not put in in a timely manner. We waited about 20-25 minutes for our dessert to come after our main was finished. My husband literally took two bites of his dessert before we were given the bill and expected to pay right then, so they could clear the table for the next party. Felt extremely rushed and was a bit of an awkward way to end the night.

Just had a Winterlicious dinner for $45. What a deal! Everything was served hot and was delicious. It's been a while since we've been to this local restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised to find it had not changed...maybe even got better!! Our server was extremely attentive and helpful packing up our desserts since we were so full from the generous apps, mains and the fabulous bread. We will be back.

Love this place! Family owned restaurant and has been around many years. You can not go wrong with anything ordered. Flavours are amazing, each dish unique and carefully prepared. Reserve at least a week before because they get really busy.

The place is small but not too loud. The servers were busy as they were short staffed the night we were there. The wine list was good and the food was very good. The baked pistachio crusted goat cheese was excellent. The fish special, arctic char, was also excellent. The veal schnitzel was good but not the best. The shrimp dish was also very good. For dessert we had the lemon meringue and the peach strudel, both very tasty. Overall it is worth coming back.

It was too late for me to plan an event for more people since Summerlicious is over soon. So my friend and I enjoyed a fabulous food and service experience. Thank you Nadia for your attentive care and knowledge. The staff here works as a team to enhance your satisfaction. I have discovered that works best in any restaurant. The shrimp appetizer, the salmon entree ( thanks Nadia ) and the chocolate ice cream sandwich desert were divine. I will be looking for the Monkey on Winterlicious, so I can book for my crowd. Last but never least, thank you to the chef and his colleagues who create their food with love. Oh, btw, my friend loved how soft your custom napkins felt. She loved her soup of the day, her chicken entree and lemon meringue dessert! We will definitely be back.

Recently we had the pleasure of Summerlicious dining. Every dish we ordered was prepared with utmost care and precision, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, each bite was a delightful journey for the taste buds. It was a true culinary masterpiece...Equally impressive was the exceptional service we received from the staff. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. We were feeling like valued guests throughout our visit.Thank you, The Monkey Bar!

The food is SO good! Went for my birthday and they were amazing. The host (chef's son) is lovely and made our experience so fun (personalized drinks, bday song, and card). The food took about 30min to come out, but honestly, it was worth the wait. Everyone at the table raved about their dish (even the vegan meal). They were able to host two large groups and both servers were attentive. We wish the ac was a bit better, but truly, there is little to fault about this place. We would definitely go back!
