Monarque - Baltimore

“I was there only once, unfortunately, I live a few hours away. The food was very delicious both the appetizers and the entrées. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic. Don’t look at the Google rating this place is 5 out of 5. The only thing I didn’t try was dessert (I don’t eat sweet stuff). Highly recommended! A++++”

“Suuuuch a great time here. The food was amazing, and the service was superb. I will say that it is quite loud even without the performances going on. Therefore, if you're looking for a quiet dinner, this probably isn't the place for you. This is more of an expensive restaurant, but the food is well worth it - portion and taste wise. The Empêchement cocktail was my choice of drink for the night. Glad I chose it, too. Came here during restaurant week and thoroughly enjoyed our experience”

“For context, we had a 5:30 reservation on a Saturday night. When we arrived it was relatively empty, but was packed by the time we left at 7:30. The house band was also a bit too loud for a restaurant of that size and ambience, in my opinion. Overall I’d give it a 3.75, but rounded up to a 4. They take the “We recommend ordering all once and the kitchen will pace out the meals” to the extreme. We waited 30-45 minutes between our appetizer and entrees, which was ridiculous. The waiter kept checking on tables around us, but never ours, especially when it was obvious we didn’t have our meal. We ordered two drinks, which were good. We split the Short Rib Ravioli, which was fine. My wife ordered the Steak Frites which were good, and I got the Short Rib Bourguignon which was very good. We would have ordered dessert but because they took so long and we had somewhere to be we weren’t able to. Overall it was fine and I’m not upset that we went, but I’m in no rush to go back.”

“Had my birthday dinner here and I have to say it was a great experience. The atmosphere is very calm yet energetic. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly with everything. Our server was amazing she was very knowledgeable on the food and pairing the right wine for dinner. The drinks are really good and the pricing is great for the drinks. The food was absolutely amazing, the steaks were amazing, the specials on the menu were very nice, I have the waygu steak and the sides.were as good as the steak. I highly recommend checking them out for a great evening out for drinks or dinner er with entertainment.”

“3 stars is pushing it. The show and atmosphere was great. Very unique experience with the show. Great date night spot. Food was ok. Ordered the ravioli appetizer. Came out cold. Wife Ordered the chicken main dish was ok and bland. I Ordered the dry aged steak. It was great with the bon marrow. Nice presentation. As a former pastry chef I was really excited for dessert, but I was soo disappointed..... Profiteroles...just felt like jack and jill ice cream. No presentation. Barely any caramel or apple sauce. It was sad. Overall its a nice date night....”
