    Monarch exceeded every expectation and provided an unforgettable evening as we celebrated the life of my sister, Adrianna. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was breathtaking—the chandelier lounge area was stunning, setting the tone for an elegant and intimate experience. The cocktails were phenomenal; we enjoyed the Champagne, Grapefruit Goddess, and Pretty Reckless, each beautifully crafted and delicious. For dinner, I had the wood-grilled branzino—easily the best I’ve ever had. We also shared the herb ricotta anolini with wood-fired broccolini and the indulgent black truffle risotto. To end the night, the lemon ricotta cake was the perfect, delicate finish. What truly made the evening magical was our server, Chad. His attentiveness and thoughtfulness elevated the experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. The most touching moment was when he presented us with a keepsake in remembrance of Adrianna, a gesture that meant the world to us. Monarch is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that creates lasting memories. I cannot recommend it enough for those seeking impeccable service, exquisite food, and an atmosphere that makes every occasion feel special.

    Took my wife’s son and in-laws for dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had a fantastic time at Monarch. Food was outstanding. I now get all the height. The whole experience delivered. But highly recommend and looking forward to returning sooner than later. Thank you so much for a great evening that we will all remember for years to come. You knocked it out of the park.

    Food was good, definitely wish we had known about the deposit for the window seat. Valet is a nightmare. It’s definitely worth trying at least once.
    MonarchResponded 6 days ago
    Thank you for joining us, Tristan. We're glad you enjoyed our food. The Thompson Hotel handles our valet service through Towne Park. Please message us what issues you had so we can bring it up with them and make sure it's not an ongoing issue. Finally, guests can reserve window seats with a deposit as detailed on our reservations page. Hopefully you can dine with us again and take advantage of that. We look forward to seeing you back someday.

    Exceeded expectations. Service was attentive, helpful in accommodating food allergies, and knowledgeable enough about both the food and wine menus to make very useful recommendations. And we loved all of the food. Well worth the price.

    That's great to hear, Sam. Thank you so much for your very kind words on our food and service. Our team takes pride in doing everything we can to accommodate guests with food allergies so we're happy to know you enjoyed your meal. We look forward to serving you again soon!

    MonarchResponded on 20 February 2025
    Joaquin, we are genuinely sorry to hear that we let you down during your recent visit. That's certainly not the type of comments we normally hear, nor the experience we want our guests to have. We hope you told your server so that we can prepare new items for you. We'd love a second chance to impress you. Please message us with your reservation details so we can look into what happened and see what we can do to serve you again someday. Thank you for the opportunity. The Monarch Dallas team

    Made reservations but still had to wait 15-20 mins past my scheduled time to be seated. Place was very loud and chaotic. Hostess wasn’t very welcoming. Food was delicious but the ambiance there was not what you expect for fine dining.
    MonarchResponded on 13 February 2025
    Thank you for your visit and feedback, Diana. We apologize for any delay you experienced in getting seated and will look into what happened to make sure it is not an issue again. We're glad you enjoyed our food, and hopefully, we can have another opportunity to serve you again someday to seat you in a more subdued section so you can have an excellent experience in every way. Please let us know. The Monarch Dallas team
