We went to Cafe Monarch to celebrate my birthday and wow—what a memorable experience!! From the courteous complimentary valet to the very last bite of our meal, I was absolutely enchanted. The restaurant is stunning inside and out, and the romantic candlelit ambiance set the perfect mood.

We went to Cafe Monarch to celebrate my birthday and wow—what a memorable experience!! From the courteous complimentary valet to the very last bite of our meal, I was absolutely enchanted. The restaurant is stunning inside and out, and the romantic candlelit ambiance set the perfect mood. Every staff member was attentive and genuinely friendly, which made me fall in love with this place even more—I half expected a bit of snootiness from such a fancy spot, but there was none of that here. The attention to detail was incredible—from the décor and lighting to the elegant uniforms and dishware. They even printed a special menu with “Happy Birthday!” at the top, and every staff member made sure to wish me one. Such thoughtful customer service! We chose the four-course prix fixe menu with the oyster & caviar add-on (possibly my new obsession). Each dish was truly delicious and so perfectly paced that we were comfortably full by the fourth course. We ended with a dreamy white chocolate passion fruit mousse cake topped with a pretty butterfly biscuit, sparkler, and a cup of coffee. 🥰 Overall, it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. I felt so well taken care of. It may not be a place for casual dining since it is on the pricier side, but it’s absolutely worth it for special occasions!

We come here every year for our anniversary and it’s above and beyond every single time!! Scott took such great care of us and made our night extra special. The food was incredible as always. I love that they explain each dish they bring out so I know what to look for. Each dish brought out was a little masterpiece and our entrees were what dreams are made of! Pure heaven!! . I love sitting outside in their beautiful little enchanted garden. Makes you feel like you are in a quaint spot in Europe! If you are looking for an elevated experience in food, service, and atmosphere, this is the place!! Thank you Cafe Monarch for always taking such good care of us.

They recently started serving brunch/linch on the weekends! My sister and I went to celebrate our birthdays on 12/14. It was quite busy and they were understaffed. We had a glass of champagne at the bar and then were seated at a table on the beautiful patio, near the fountain. Our server Joseph took our order and explained the wine pairing. We ordered the small portion pairing menu. What a wonderful experience! Joseph has his level 1 sommelier pin and was engaging to talk with. Highly recommend making your reservation in advance and having a great dining experience! As we were enjoying a nice conversation I didn’t take pics of each course.

Absolutely the best food and service I have ever had. The atmosphere is out of this world and just so unique. Thank you to our server, Alex, who made my husband and I feel special on our date night. At one point, I was clumsy and spilled some wine on their tablecloth and he was very forgiving and helped us out with that mishap. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Best espresso martini I have ever had— shoutout to the bartender! Thank you Cafe Monarch for a night to remember!
