Had a great experience at Monarque in Baltimore! I’m not drinking right now, and our server Emma recommended a mocktail that was absolutely delicious. I really appreciated her taking the time to suggest something I’d enjoy. The lamb was fantastic, definitely one of the best parts of the meal! Great food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. We’ll definitely be back!

Everything was good, the food would have been 5 Star but the Duck was more like a patty of minced duck meat vs a duck breast, per se. The pork chop was great! The sorbet and drinks superb, the ambiance was awesome even with a wedding happening with a cool Dj! The food tasted fresh and it was great being there.

Had a fantastic dinner and evening with wife and daughter on a Friday night! Service very cordial, cocktails delicious. For some reason, I thought the portions were going to be small but both the chicken and steak were perfect size and tastey. The chef deserves credit as steaks had pefect doneness, and the sauces and other food was interesting and prepared skillfully. I recommended The Nest to a couple others the following day.

The Easter brunch buffet at The Willard was phenomenal. There were so many stations offering many food options from breakfast to meats to salads, breads, cold seafood bar, sushi, dessert, soup, and an open bar. There was also a petting zoo in a separate room for guests to enjoy that consisted of goats, bunnies, chicks, and turtles. Each dining area had a harpist and they were very good. So good, we tipped the one in our dining room. Valet parking was and is available as well as self-parking with validation. Service was impeccable and everyone was very pleasant and nice. James and Valerie took care of our table in the back corner.
