Bad Experiece – I'd like to start by pointing out that Monarch's website is misleading... It seems they've decided to consolidate their "Southern Bistro" and (more upscale) "Modern American" menus into one. The result is a bizarre combination of dishes with no focus. The menu looked like it had been put together by a schizophrenic. When I saw the "Elegant Entrees" section, I knew we should have gone to Niche. The food was bad and unnecessarily gussied up with foam and garnish. Every dish was bad, but the venison osso bucco w... read more

Recommended Decor is fabulous. Menu is good and the wine list is wonderful. Prices can be a bit on the high side, though. And, the crowd can be a bit pretentious. Great place to go for a special occasion - birthday, anniversary, etc. Parking is a bit of a challenge - take advantage of the valet, when available.

Very Disappointed – My husband and I were completely disappointed after dining here recently. The waitress was excellent, but her service did not make up for the laughably small portions and mediocre food. We ordered the cheese plate for the appetizer-- it came on a very large plate and 4, yes 4 thin slices of cheese- come on -- it seemed miserly and the cheeses offered were average. We ordered the salmon and the scallops, which both were very mediocre. I am not a great chef, but besides the presentation (carrot foam), my sa... read more

Monarch Fabulous as Usual!!! – We were in a few weeks ago and tried the new 4 course tasting menu for $40...what a great price for such terrific food - and 4 courses too! Our server graciously offered to pair wines with the dinner for us and we opted to try these as well. It made for another lovely evening at Monarch. Maplewood certainly has come a long way!

Turnaround – Our dining experience with Monarch was not a good one for our party of 8 -- We had very inattentive service & felt that the portion sizes were very small. HOWEVER, after emailing the owner & detailing our issues with the restaurant, he very graciously offered to rectify it for us. We really respect that & appreciate his efforts.

Best special occasion restaurant in town... – I went to Monarch for the first time for my birthday over a month ago and everything was just absolutely fabulous. The reservations manager, Evette, is a doll and she put us in a nice cozy half booth in their wine bar area. The service was fantastic--friendly and knowledgable, but not pretentious. Our server recommended we try a fresh green salad with tomatoes and mozarella that supposedly would only be available until the end of the month. It was a fantastic choice. The mozarell... read more

LOVE the service, LOVE the food – I have dined at Monarch many times and never have I been disappointed. My favorite person to wait on me is Lacey. She takes the time to explain the wines and the dishes without sounding pretentious or condescending. It is my favorite restaurant to take clients or celebrate with my family.

Where's the time machine? – I was confused upon reading the post by anne 2346 when she described her lunch experience at Monarch in October 07. Clearly she has found a way to time travel, as Monarch has not served lunch since December 2005. Impressive!
