Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Gus Lewkowicz

From the OpenTable editors: There's a reason this stunner in historic Old Town Scottsdale is consistently ranked among the most romantic restaurants in the region. Ornate chandeliers, ivy-covered walls, and white tablecloths set the mood for a seasonal, four-course tasting menu that might include duck breast with apricot chutney. Pair that with selections from one of the best wine lists in the city.

    We come here every year for our anniversary. It is the most romantic, intimate, quality restaurant in all of the Phoenix valley area.

    Yet another amazing experience! Joseph was extremely attentive and made sure we had a fabulous dinner. We both left our date night happy-I was happy because the venison was back; he was happy to have his all time favorite Argentinian shrimp. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Cafe Monarch is always a great gastronomic experience. We ate at the bar for the first time and it was a delight. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the different types of liquors which my husband enjoyed immensely discussing with them. We chatted with another couple and it was wonderful. The food was amazing!
