This is one of my favorite spots when in town. Often bring guests here.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMA Real Neighborhood Gem!We have been to Monroe's many, many times. The food here is always good as well as the service. The owners are usually there and socialize with the customers. I give Monroe's the highest of recommendations for a moderately priced night out.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMHugh LaurieLoved this place! Perfect, little Italian date restaurant. Prices are reasonable. Only thing that was not great was the Crème Brulee, but other than that - wonderful! Loved the option for smaller portions for all the favorite dishes.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWe have dinner at Monroe'sWe have dinner at Monroe's at least once a month and are always happy with the food and service. My parents were visiting us from Chicago and when I asked where they would like to go my dad said Monroe's. I consider this high praise for Monroe's because he is a pretty go with the flow kind of guy. My husband always gets the same pasta dish, which he loves and I get the fish special. Highly recommend this spot for couples and family groups. The menu is very large and I have not had a dud yet.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMIt has been several yearsIt has been several years since I ate at Monroe's, but the food remains consistently high quality and delicious, the atmosphere is very upscale, the prices are reasonable.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMWe Heart Monroe's!This is our second time at Monroe's and we just love it! It's DEFINITELY a neighborhood Gem and I love the cozy atmosphere. It's a simple little local place. You love it the minute you walk in. Cute, nicely decorated, feels like home. My mom was visiting so we brought her here. We started with the mushroom special for an appetizer sauteed in butter and garlic with the freshest of mushrooms. My mom loved her Tilapia Special. She asked about the sauce and the chef came out and talked to us about it. I had the Swordfish Special with pesto which was very good and my S.O. had the Crab Pasta which is FULL of crabmeat. Overall delish, I hear you always get a good meal here and I believe it. Be ready for a HUGE menu!3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat neighborhood placeWe have been going to Monroe's (always for dinner) for more than a dozen years--ever since we moved to Northern Virginia. It's a family-run business and a great place to go with friends, family, or as a couple. The food is very good, Italian-influenced fare with fresh ingredients. Not gourmet but always at least good, and there is something on the menu to please just about everyone. We always receive a warm welcome, and although the table service itself can sometimes be a teeny bit rough around the edges it's not enough of an issue to affect our enjoyment. If you want a bit more intimacy, ask for a booth. They can be hard to secure on a busy Saturday night. In warmer weather, some tables are set outside and that's also a nice option.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat neighborhood restaurantFriendly and vibrant, family restaurant, would return often.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I picked thisMy husband and I picked this restaurant to celebrate our birthdays at; we were impressed with the delicious food and beauty each dish had.
