    Lovely time at Monarch before a show at the Orpheum. Kendra was a very attentive and knowledgeable server. I had a delicious stuffed pork with apple and sage dressing. My husband had the duck a l'orange with sautéed spinach and risotto. Service was prompt, so we had plenty of time to get to the Orpheum before the show.

    The food and service were phenomenal! The chef came out several times to explain the food we were receiving. Felt very fancy and personal. My husband ordered the filet with the jalapeño sauce, I had the filet with the blue cheese crumbles and my daughter had the steak and frites. All were cooked to perfection, and seasoned amazing! Best steak I’ve had in a very long time! So tender my daughter was able to cut it with her butter knife! We started with the charcuterie and salads. Got a birthday raspberry cheesecake with raspberries, chocolate drizzle and ice cream! Alllll Amazing! Will recommend to all family and friends and will go back! Great experience!!!! 10 out of 10!!!

    The entry way was adequate velcroed to season hotel chain. The crowd was overestimated by the narrow hallway entry way and underwhelming designs of butterfly caucuses stapled to the walls. Service was prompt and introductions were swift. No specials were offered on this Saturday night. My date loved the appetizer and Monarch burger. And I was able to share this with my partner. I however was served a Beef Wellington that only can be described as an entree going through menopause, dry, yet soggy at the core. I chose to bag the Entree and try to eat it in the morning. To my great disappointment I couldn’t even remove the odd taste after I chopped it up and mixed it with my homemade chili. Now I have eaten 10-20 Beef Wellingtons at restaurants around the country over my 20 years of dining. So avoid that option. The crème brûlée was creamy and saved my night from ending with an empty stomach. Overall my date enjoyed the Monarch, and that is all that mattered. So stick to the burgers at this spot.

    Food was very good but the service wasn't great. Service was passive aggressive and we all felt we weren't being treated well. It felt like the server knew about the automatic gratuity so she was not giving us the proper service and gave better service to the older people in the room.. Food also arrived after about an hour wait when it was just us and a table of two.

    They closed early (before our reservation time) with NO NOTICE due to “slow traffic”.

    Great food! The fire alarm went off and continued for 10/15 minutes. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary. Our server was fantastic and reassuring. She offered us free Prosecco for our anniversary. She also comped our meal due to the noise. We were very grateful for her willingness to try to make the situation right even though it had nothing to do with her. Great character and professional from her. I wished we would have gotten her name. Thank you!

    We appreciate so much that you chose Monarch to celebrate your anniversary. A little unorthodox, we'll admit, and certainly one to remember. Kendra was your server and I have passed this message along to her! We look forward to 31!

    We went here on a Friday night and it was dead. I think there was one server for the whole place. I would not reccomend this place.
