Best Organic Food Restaurants in Chandler

Cafe Monarch was a outstanding experience. Starting with free valet parking, the restaurant has a peaceful fountain by a French door entrance. The hostess greeted us kindly and showed us to our seats at the bar. We prefer bar seating as we can sit side-by-side and have a more personal experience with the staff. The bar has an amazing assortment of liquor including full ranges of gin, vodka, whiskies and scotches and accompaniments. Our two bar tenders were very friendly without being intrusive. They let us get settled in with complementary bubbles and explained the dinner menu. The menu is a Prix Fix offering with a choice of either four or eight courses. The quantity of food on the two menus is nearly the same, so we chose the eight course dinner with more small bite choices on offer. As we needed to make modifications due to gluten and caviar allergies, the kitchen did an excellent job of adjusting the courses. We had chefs treat oyster, the autumn soup; sesame tuna; shrimp with grilled pineapple, avocado and radish; diver scallop with squash and pine nuts; a pleasant palate cleanser with lemon sorbet, berries and hibiscus; pork belly with apple, current, peppers and goat cheese; lamb chops with carrot, spinach and brioche; and A5 Wagyu filet mignon and short rib, bell pepper, and broccolini. Desert was a Chocolate cream with cookie. We had the Petite Fours with coffee and tea. At $290 it was a worthwhile and outstanding feast. We are planning to return to Cafe Monarch when next in Phoenix.

Great ambiance and food was awesome. We love going here for celebrating birthdays. The server was lovely and so are the staff.

Patio was very relaxing, and the food was beyond. Delicious! Coffee tasted like I was in Paris! This is a must visit place for brunch!

We celebrated our Anniversary here as its relatively close to home. The ambience was nice even for a cooler AZ evening. Garage doors were open which the fresh air was lovely. Perhaps we should have asked for a patio heater near us but we managed with an extra layer of clothing on. SERVER, Paul, was attentive but not overly so. He seemed busy enough for a weekday evening. We were lucky to be aligned with Happy Hour which swayed our decision towards appetizers to share. We enjoyed all but want to note that the clam chowder was a bit on the "meh" side of flavors. AMBIENCE, was lovely! The inhouse live musician was a perfect backdrop for our evening. Good array of music without making it difficult to have a conversation. One of us had been here before for a lackluster Restaurant meal. So glad we decided to try again and probably will try again in the near future!

Out for date night and we chose Ocotillo per recommendation by friends. Spacious dining options both indoor and outdoors; warm and laid back ambience with beautiful AZ decor. Friendly and hospitable service with attention to detail, ensuring we had a good experience. Food was unique and delicious. Very talented chef. New manager Alexa has great energy. Definitely returning and would recommend for an enjoyable night out.
