“ My husband and I visited Monarque for the first time on Monday to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. As soon as we came in the hostess was pleasant and polite, checking our coats before seating us. We were having an early dinner and had reservations for 6. Our table was ready and we were given complimentary champagne for our celebration. Our server, Zooey gave excellent recommendations and we really enjoyed our dinner. I started with the salad. The bacon was so good and I normally wouldn't eat thick cut pork belly but this was just tender and delicious. The dressing was light and barely needed. My husband started with the smoke salmon and he truly enjoyed it. I had the petit steak for my entree and is was cooked expertly. Didn't need steak sauce or any other condiments. Hubby had the burger and it is an underrated item. He loved it. The Brussels were too sweet and I wasn't a fan of the cashews on them. As a gift for our nickel anniversary, Zooey gave us a nickel and a tassel piece from a costume inside a card. We appreciated the thoughtfulness. Even though there was no performance that night, we still enjoyed the atmosphere. We will return for jazz night. Happy hour was at the bar but it was so quiet, we barely noticed others. The hidden entrance to the Elk room next door through the secret coded passage was interesting. We had a beautiful time. We did have good drinks but I couldn't remember the name of mine and dessert was like a carnival treat, so good. ”

“ Really excellent all around! There was a jazz band playing when we came in for an early dinner at 5 o'clock on Saturday night. The waitresses and staff were all excellent and we had a great three course meal and a nice bottle of sparkling rosé to go with it. Really fun place that is lively with excellent food and great decor, highly recommend it. ”

“ My husband and I visited Monarque for the first time tonight ( a Monday night) and what a treat it was! Excellent service- from the moment we checked in at the hostess stand until the moment we left. Ask for Karla with a "K" :) She provided us with excellent recommendations and was attentive throughout our meal. Highly recommend the tableside beef tartare! It was fresh, light, and flavorful. I also recommend the Parisian Gnochhi, which was silky and umami-packed. For entree, I ordered the short rib Bourgogne, and it was fork-tender and beautifully seasoned. We will definitely return to Monarque for dinner again soon and look forward to enjoying some of the entertainment! ”

“ I am a frequent flyer in all the local Atlas Restaurants and they never disappoint! I'm always in awe of the quality service, food, ambiance and staff. This location in particular, is sexy, it's dark and edgy perfect for HH with friends, a solo date or a romantic dinner! The food is excellent, the service is impeccable especially at the bar. And make sure you are kind to the bartenders, they will certainly enhance your experience ”

“ Me and my mom went on Friday night and everything was so wonderful. The service was so nice and welcoming, the ambiance was sexy and inviting and our food was so yummy. The only issue we had was our onion soup was very sweet and our bread was very hard. ”

“ I'm in love with this place! The bar, the atmosphere, the mood, the entertainment, the food, and the vibe. There was nothing about this place I didn't love. The atmosphere is amazing with lots of table and an eloquent bar. They have live jazz music and burlesque! We had a reservation at 7:30 and got a bottle of wine, the octopus, the steak and frites and the steak special. Everything was amazing even the entertainment. It was our anniversary so they even gave us a glass of champagne. If I lived here I would frequent this place and try all the food! ”

“ What an absolutely fabulous place. It had everything. Sexy, Classy, Delicious, and excellent service. ”

“ What a fantastic, moody, seductive bar. Tucked away in the back of a dining alley, Monarque is my foodie jazz dream bar. They have one of the best happy hours in the city. The food here is some of the most succulent, well cooked, just. Amazing food I've had. The bar staff also has PHENOMENAL recommendations for pairings. When, not if, you come. You have to try the escargot and the bone marrow, by far the two best hits for me. And both on the happy hour menu! Live music is featured every. Single. Night. So you really truly cannot go wrong here. Don't let the vibe fool you, this is accessible luxury. Greatness has been given and I cannot wait to come back. ”

“ We went here on a Friday night and surprisingly did not need a reservation (HOWEVER, I do recommend reservations). This place exceeded my expectations on every level. Monarque isn't just a restaurant, it is an experience. We were seated near the stage. I had the duck breast and the blue cheese Brussel spouts (AMAZING- the flavor of the blue cheese coupled with the grilled brussels). The wine selection was also a "hitter". Overall the experience was dope, the band, the burlesque dancers were all superlative. Highly recommend. ”

“ Wow, Monarque is incredible! I've been to a few Atlas restaurants but this one definitely takes the cake! I wouldn't have said the theme- French club- was for me, so I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the decor, vibe, and live music. It's a really cool space, especially the bar. The food was absolutely amazing. I love when a restaurant knows how to cook vegetables, and the beet appetizer was proof that Monarque has some excellent chefs. The cassoulet was huge and delicious, and the lobster Thermidor was easily the best lobster dish I've ever had. The staff were also outstanding. Everyone was so kind and attentive, and the manager herself boxed up our food. The cherry on top was an invitation at the end of the night to their hidden speakeasy! We had so much fun and the food was amazing! ”
