Monarch is our favorite dinner spot before a show at the Orpheum. We had Ceci as our waitress, and she offered us a complimentary glass of Prosecco and/or Cabernet once she heard we were going to the theater afterwards. Ceci said offering this is customary before a show, but it is the first time a server has offered this to us. We were so grateful! 😊 Ceci was helpful, friendly, and provided exceptional service. We will definitely be back!
