    Quiet and beautiful dining with an amazing view of the Dallas skyline. Our 5 o clock reservation allowed us to catch a great view of the February Dallas sunset and skyline lights! Jack was our server, he mentioned he usually bartends but hes definitely cut out for this role as well! We had the “Knights Templar” - Pinot noir. Relatively inexpensive bottle but worth every drop and paired perfect with our filet, boneless ribeye and lobster tail! DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE BRUSSELS SPROUTS - THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLE! Can’t think of a better place to enjoy an ambience, view, romance and dinner! 10/10

    We had an amazing night at Monarch Tower Club! We were seated right next to a window and enjoyed our 3 year anniversary dinner over a beautiful view. They brought bread & butter to the table along with our cocktails - both were great! We ordered the Brown Butter Goat Cheese Ravioli to start and loved it. For entrees we had the Gorgonzola Crusted Lamp Chops, and 8oz Filet - I truly think this was one of the best steaks I’ve had in my life! I’m still thinking about it 2 days later. We also got the side of marbled potatoes and asparagus which were delicious. About halfway through our entrees we were the only table left in the room - one of our kind waiters (we had 3 amazing people total waiting on us) offered to move our dishes to the best table in the house - what a great & personalized experience! The waitstaff was so attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure our night was special. We ended the night over espresso martinis and table side Bananas Foster. We had such an amazing experience at Monarch Tower Club and will definitely be back! I can’t recommend this place enough for a quality and intimate experience. Thank you!
