   it was my best friends 30th and we had a reservation. we were seated towards the back with an obstructed view of the stage which is what we were excited to see. there was also a slight chill to our experience as we were seated close to a door that opened quite often. outside of that service was excellent and the food was amazing!

   So loud couldn’t hear anyone in our party talking. Food was not too good for the price. Not the best options. Wouldn’t go back.

   I have visited Monarque multiple times, and every visit has been exceptional. The food is always delicious. Their cocktails are equally impressive, crafted with great attention to detail and always on point. One of the best perks is their Sunday special, which offers half-price wine bottles. This makes an already fantastic experience even better. The wine selection is excellent, so it is a great opportunity to try something new. The service is consistently top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and always enhances the dining experience. Highly recommend!

   It was our first time at Monarque and we really loved it. The performer Jordan Mills was very talented and we enjoyed his music. The food was great and the staff were really sweet and made us feel special. We recommend it to everyone. James and Sean

   First time visiting and it was good but not great for the cost. I enjoyed the music but it was too loud for conversation at the table. I doubt that I would go there again.

   Delicious! Domestic Wagyu and Ribeye Cap steaks were cooked to perfection. Very attentive staff and nice ambiance.

   Great atmosphere, good food, moderate pricing. You pay for the atmosphere and the service. If it was just the food I would say it is overpriced. All and all a good experience though.

   Overall, this is the least impressive Atlas restaurant we’ve been to, and in many ways set the “floor” for their product portfolio. I am frankly shocked ownership hasn’t stepped in to address the blatant culinary quality issues we experienced. Service was top notch, as expected with the price of an atlas restaurant… but that’s where the good news stops. Food was average quality, everything was overly seasoned/salted/sauced and plating was sloppy across the board start to finish…it felt very copy & paste “bar-food”. Example Steak Frites ($79!) - an average quality steak with no marbling, over seasoned, downing in a sauce/gravy, with a heaping pile of undersized fry bits that were overly salted and barely fit on the plate. The fact that quality gets out of the kitchen for their most expensive steak dish is concerning. We also got the Brussels sprouts - criminally over-seasoned… and the petite steak, also swimming in a different gravy/sauce. Anyone who knows steak knows that dousing it in a sauce/gravy is signs of hiding a poor quality steak. The quality of a $80 dry aged steak should shine through in the dish, this was the exact opposite it felt as though they were trying to hide behind massive portions of fry bits and dousing it in a overly flavorful gravy/sauce. Not acceptable and not what you expect from Atlas and the prices they charge. Hope they make some changes to the chef roster here… we wont be back anytime soon, $140/pp w tip for bar food is just criminal and hurts their brand.

    Definitely a 'scene'. Packed on a Saturday night, with an energetic, upbeat, and quite diverse crowd (young/old; Black/White; dressed up/casual; dates/groups). Food was really great; bar was busy so a bit slow, but great drinks. Performances were fun and added to the atmosphere. Not for those looking for a quiet evening, but for those looking to have a memorable one.
