Server went out of their way to create a great experience—even chased us down when we accidentally forgot the leftovers :-). Will definitely be back!

The Monarch is a true local gem. We dined at 7:30 pm on October 22, 2026 and received stellar service. We highly recommend to start with the charred brussel sprouts. The dish was packed with subperb flavor. The frites are superb! We indulged in both the apple pie dish and the chocolate cake, the gold leaf on the ice cream elevated the presentation. I wanted a mocktail, and left it to the bartender to create a drink and it was quite delicious. Our only disappointment is sitting in one of the booths with the curtains - cold air was blowing on us throughout the meal. We wish there had been a way to control the cold air blowing on us and still enjoy the booth's atmosphere. However, it was still a wonderful evening. A shout out to the staff that worked that evening. Thank you for a charming evening.

This was our first time at the Chophouse. The moody mid century modern vibes were awesome. From the appetizers to dessert, the food was incredible. Our steak was like butter, beyond delicious. Worth every penny, highly recommend!
