    My husband and I were here for our anniversary this past weekend and everything was amazing. Our server, Joy, was wonderful. She had excellent recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the menu as a whole. We had a great time and would definitely come again.

    We had a wonderful experience! We celebrated a birthday and all did the Chef’s tasting menu. We enjoyed almost everything, we thought the fish entree was sub par but the Waygu filet was phenomenal and I didn’t want to stop eating. The cocktails were phenomenal and we enjoyed our server. Overall the meal took about 3 hours which we didn’t realize how much time had passed until it was dark and we were all ready to head back to our hotel. It was a little confusing to get to as we aren’t from the area and didn’t see much signage. Thankfully someone who knew where they were going was in the elevator with us.

    I've been meaning to try Monarch in downtown Dallas for the longest time, and I have to say it exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was out of this world, being on the 49th floor of a very nice hotel building. Their reviews pretty much everywhere, even the bathrooms, had the most impressive views I've ever seen, showcasing nearly all of the downtown Dallas skyline. The ambience is definitely a 10 out of 10. The staff also deserve a 10 out of 10 for being the kindest, nicest people I've ever met. My waiter went out of his way to accommodate my allergies, which I was incredibly appreciative of. As for the food, I was really impressed. It's very hard to satisfy my taste, but there's always a first time for everything. Despite being expensive, I highly recommend Monarch. It is definitely worth the time, wait, and money. Please, go try Monarch in downtown Dallas - you won't be disappointed!

    I like this place. Pretty cool place on the 49th for in downtown Dallas. I had a reservation at 930pm. Got there early and started around the bar for 45 minutes until out was fine to go to our table. Everything was 5 stars from the food, to the service and everything else in between. Our server did a phenomenal job at making sure our waters were ALWAYS filled and topped off. Entire staff was friendly, welcoming and nice. I had an enjoyable time and spent about 3 hours there and got lost.

    We've been here with family a few times. I can't think of a more magical place with great atmosphere, unbelievably flavorful food, wide variety of menu options and overall excellent service. It's a fine dining establishment but I was licking my fingers after devouring their 40oz Porterhouse. I live in Fort Worth and it's a 100 mile ride to and fro, but I will absolutely keep coming back.

    We had a superb experience! My husband had been wanting to come here for a while and we came for his birthday! We arrived early and thankfully they were able to seat us. His birthday was not only acknowledged but celebrated! Personalized card, complimentary shots, and a candle on the dessert we chose. Loved being welcomed with a glass of champagne! Maxwell was an amazing server. Charlie also took great care of us! When we come back, we’ll definitely look for them! Highly recommend asking for tables closer to the window to be able to enjoy the view of Dallas’s skyline. Everything was delicious! The drinks were on point! We’ll be back!
