Absolutely loved the dinner experience at Monaco Encino. Tasty drinks with a wonderful presentation, delicious homemade pasta, and I'm still thinking about their Malabi Martini dessert. The manager and servers were so nice and welcoming too! Definitely a place to try for a date night or girls night!

First time stopping by Monaco, will not be my last. Was greeted by their Manager Mark and served by their bartender Sanja. Both were amazing! Friendly, caring, and gave me wonderful insight to their menu and venue design, which is stunning! Food was delicious and the drinks were great! Thank you both for your hospitality and look forward to seeing you again soon! The music with the live DJ was also a great addition to the experience!

This is the second time I dined here and very disappointed the second time. We really enjoyed the very first time. It was energetic and good food. Second time they changed the menu no entertainment and empty house. No wonder.

We had a selection of appetizer’s which were perfectly cooked. My entree was the Cowboy steak frilled to my medium rare request. We finished off with the lava soufflé and ice cream. Beware the temperature is lava. It could have been a little sweeter but in hind site it left us settled without a sugar rush closer.

Our breakfast was very dry and the sushi rice was a day old. Overall experience was not enjoyable. Even the booth we sat at had statins on the white seat. They also had a live band at brunch who did not place proper brunch music. We stayed it out hoping thing would get better, we wish we left when we got there.

Had dinner last night we friends at 7;30 pm . I made the reservation on open table and then called them to make sure we will get a good table , which we did . Music starts with D.J starts later , I just wanted to make sure the place is not loud while we are having dinner . The music starts later at night so this is a great option to have dinner and if you are interested to stay longer you can . The service was first class , delicious appetizer and entrees. Cocktails were so good. The new manager came to our table and introduce himself, love that ! Our server was excellent and polite and informative . After our dinner the chef came to our table ! I am in hospitality industry seeing the chef be involve and care abuut the customer was refreshing . We will go back definitely and recommend this place to our friends and family . Thank you Monaco for a great night !
