Great food & great service as always! We started with Chef Fiona's Whipped Goat Cheese Spread! It is amazing!! As are the Wagyu Meatballs. Do yourself a favor and order one or both!! We also had the Steak Frites and a Peperoni Pizza. it was definitely more food than we could eat but the leftovers made a great lunch the following day. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly and she took great care of us. Thanks!

"Monarch Cafe", is a 'Celebration Experience'.. you will NOT be dissapointed, with: Service, Ambience, and the quality of thier Menu is beyond outstanding.. but you get 'what you pay for'.. Prices are somewhat steep.. but the fellow, that was our 'Server', was an absolute champion!!

    We had a reservation at five, the host sat us immediately. Kate was our waitress. She was very helpful. and very attentive. We had the crab cakes, which were amazing. You must try their bread and butter th. Phenomenal! And we had the tomahawk steak ❤️with three different side sauces for dipping. The asparagus and pureed mashed potatoes. And the chocolate lover cake at the end. The place is fantastic. I will definitely be back.❤️ their chili sauce reminded me of being down in South America when I lived there❤️
