    Great service from Rob and the server assistant. We had requested Chris but Rob was as good. Chris came by to say hello which was a nice touch.

    We always dine here when we stay at the Monarch. Reservations are def recommended. This time the steak was a little on the tough side. Would not expect that for $68.00. Lobster bisque was fabulous. Dessert was wonderful. Service was good. Saturday nights are always super busy. So, that can be expected. Wine list is great! We will return for sure.

    For some reason the whole experience felt like one of the upgraded restaurants on a cruise ship. The staff were friendly and fairly attentive, but a little below the caliber of satff I would expect from a place where our bill approached $200/pp. The steaks were very good, but I paid extra to have mine served au poivre style. The steak was peppered, but the sauce covered only about half the steak and a little on the plate. When I asked for a little more sauce they said no problem, but would have to charge me another $6 to do it. It was our anniversary and to their credit they recognized it and gave us a free dessert. That said the free desert came after we had ordered another dessert and we were not told that a free one would be coming. The bill was presented to us before we had finished the free dessert and we paid it, but our ordered dessert had not come. When we told the waiter, he asked if we still wanted it and we said probably not, but he said he could not take it off as we had already paid. Fine, we waited a while and the dessert came cold which I do not believe was the way it was intended to be served. I'd bet a lot that the desserts are 3rd party made and heated up there to serve (with the exception of ours). Don't get me wrong, the meal was good, but this was not a top caliber steak house and the bill suggested otherwise.

    Had a great experience last time we were here but they dropped the ball this time around. My wife’s cosmo cocktail was not chilled. The crab cake was over breaded. The tableside Caesar’s salad was excellent. The filet mignon “au poivre” did not come with a proper peppercorn cream sauce but instead was an over peppered rub with demi glaze - overpowering for a $74 steak. The Mac and cheese was grossly overcooked. The bus boy repeatedly asked to clear our plates when we were not done eating, somewhat annoying. Not happy with this evening.
