    La atención de la mesera fue excelente y el ambiente muy agradable. Sin embargo, la comida no estuvo a la altura de otras ocasiones. El tagliatelle estaba simple, la carne llegó en un término diferente al pedido y los scallops no tuvieron el sabor habitual. Creemos que pudo influir que el lugar estaba lleno por un evento. Aun así, esperamos volver y encontrar la calidad de siempre.

    The best elegant restaurant in San Benito/El Salvador. The team is outstanding and very friendly. Food is out of this world. Of course, every time we come to El Salvador, Monarca is our home away from home. The waiter Ronald is very professional and we always are happy to see him.

    Luego de una larga espera me llevaron el plato de pasta equivocado, me dijeron que era la misma pasta solo con diferente salsa. Les dije que no la quería en cuestión de minutos me llevaron lo que había ordenado, pero era la misma pasta enjuagada y fría solo con la salsa que yo había ordenado.

    Beautiful setting in an unexpected venue. A/C indoors for more classy. Lovely outdoors terrace with an elegant little bar.

    Salmon was overcooked and greasy, the waiter could not open the bottle of wine and had to have help with the decanter as well. Overall not impressed, the price very similar to Brutto but by far very diferente. I rather go to a different place than this.
