We took our daughter here for her 21st birthday and she was more than impressed. They went above and beyond in showing that her special night was important. Everyone said Happy Birthday, the singer had a special conversation with her, and then we were “VIP’d” to the speakeasy next door for a night cap. The Monarque is absolutely amazing. The food, service, and atmosphere are top notch! Thank you!

My friend and I were celebrating her birthday. We were greeted and seated very timely. We both order the steak & crab cake special. Our steaks were cooked to the right temperature; everything was delicious. Our server/Caroline was attentive, energetic and provided an exceptional celebratory dining experience.
