We always enjoy the Wrigley Mansion. We maintain our membership because the service, food, and cocktails are consistently fabulous. This was our 2nd time attending the Jazz dinner at Geordie’s. The first time was a wonderful experience, this time…meh. We went for my sister’s birthday. Service was inattentive and we were rushed out at the 90 minute mark. Very disappointed that we couldn’t order dessert. Was hoping to get her a piece of cake or something to celebrate. Portion (and no cheese or basil…nothing) on the gnocchi was a bit sparse for the money. It’s unfortunate that my only negative experience at Wrigley was when I was trying to impress someone. Ah, hopefully it will be back to regular standards next time.

We joined them for Christmas lunch. Delicious food, excellent friendly service. So nice to relax and let someone else stress about the meal. My daughter commented, "I love the stress free mom for Christmas". Thank you!

We absolutely love Cafe Monarch. We had a beautiful 4-course meal and every bite was amazing; especially the zucchini rolatini and lamb chops. The entire team at Cafe Monarch is exceptional. Special shout out to Dan at the bar that makes every drink to perfection. This experience is priceless!

Food for five persons were very good with great services and hospitality.We ate our dinner at five pm and the outdoor dining area were pretty dark as there are no ceiling lights but do have small table LED light lamps and under bench lighting. Some of us had hard hard time reading the menus with low lights but was managed somehow. We will go there again with better daylights.
