    Monarch exceeded every expectation and provided an unforgettable evening as we celebrated the life of my sister, Adrianna. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was breathtaking—the chandelier lounge area was stunning, setting the tone for an elegant and intimate experience. The cocktails were phenomenal; we enjoyed the Champagne, Grapefruit Goddess, and Pretty Reckless, each beautifully crafted and delicious. For dinner, I had the wood-grilled branzino—easily the best I’ve ever had. We also shared the herb ricotta anolini with wood-fired broccolini and the indulgent black truffle risotto. To end the night, the lemon ricotta cake was the perfect, delicate finish. What truly made the evening magical was our server, Chad. His attentiveness and thoughtfulness elevated the experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. The most touching moment was when he presented us with a keepsake in remembrance of Adrianna, a gesture that meant the world to us. Monarch is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that creates lasting memories. I cannot recommend it enough for those seeking impeccable service, exquisite food, and an atmosphere that makes every occasion feel special.

    Shaniece, we couldn't be more honored to help you celebrate the life of Adrianna. We are so sorry for your loss. It's wonderful to know your evening here helped in some small way, and we'll be sure to let Chad hear your compliments. We wish you and your family the best. Thank you.

    Took my wife’s son and in-laws for dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We had a fantastic time at Monarch. Food was outstanding. I now get all the height. The whole experience delivered. But highly recommend and looking forward to returning sooner than later. Thank you so much for a great evening that we will all remember for years to come. You knocked it out of the park.

    First of all, the food was great. Our waiter was also great, offered helpful recommendations, and offered amazing service. If you’re going to remind your clientele of your dress code before your reservation, you should enforce it. Apparently anything goes. Not impressed. It may have been difficult to get a reservation here at some point. Now…anybody gets in.
    MonarchResponded on March 16, 2025
    Bryan, we genuinely appreciate your compliments on our food and service. However, we're sorry to hear your visit wasn’t as enjoyable as it should have been. We've taken measures to better enforce the dress code violations, and it shouldn't be an issue again. Please reach out to the email address we will message you next time you can make it in. We would love to assist with your reservations, apologize directly, and make sure you have an excellent visit in every way. We hope to hear from you. Thank you. The Monarch Dallas team
