    We have been to Cafe Monarch once a year for the past few years for a special night. It never disappoints. The setting, both inside and out, are subtly elegant, the service is knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive, and the food is fabulous, creative and an experience. Now it is definitely not cheap but we continue to go back because it is such a wonderful and special dining experience. My wife and I are gluten free due to intolerances but they were able to accommodate all of our choices. We certainly couldn't go there regularly but, for a special night out, I don't think it could be beat.

    The best meal we have ever had in Arizona, perhaps anywhere EVER! We started with the Large Seafood Tower, We also had Filet Mignon with Chimichurri Sauce and side of mushrooms, the Filet was the best! Prepared perfectly, 2 in our party asked for medium rare and we shared a medium and WOW. On point. Twice stuffed Lobster Baked Potato was such a rich delicious add on. The service was the best I have ever experienced. We loved the beautiful ambiance and the quiet atmosphere to converse with friends. Im without words....11 out of 10!!

    Our food was delicious! I had the sea bass, my husband had the duck. Our server was super friendly, efficient and brought us a small dessert when she found out it was our anniversary. And the view was beautiful! 100% recommend

    We weren’t in the mood to cook on Monday evening after being out all day. So, we enjoyed the food at Palma and Joe took excellent care of us. Great experience and a nice evening— again! Our thanks to all. Stephanie and Arol Augsburger

    Was a good place to watch football and enjoy happy hour. Service was friendly but slow. Bacon wrapped dates and shrimp were delicious.
