AVEO Table + Bar at the Monarch Beach Resort

Great place to go if you want to enjoy the view. Prices are to be expected at a 5 star resort. I believe the drinks were $18 each. Service was super slow but we enjoyed the atmosphere. Only the patio outside was open for dining.

Great place, great service. My salmon plate was incredibly good.

Excellent food, service and views are outstanding.

Extremely COVID safe environment. Very relaxing meal, great food and atmosphere. Everyone extremely friendly and helpful. Plan to return on a regular basis.

Great dining experience! Food and service was great. I felt safe considering that everyone was wearing their masks and the staff was enforcing masks which I appreciate! The tomato basil soup was delicious!

Well I have missed Monarch Beach being open and now it is classified as a Waldorf Astoria, it seems they are trying to offset some of the losses from being closed by increasing prices!

So, whilst I love going here I think we will be giving it a miss for the foreseeable future, plenty of other options, equally as good, but without the increased, and in my opinion, overly inflated prices.

Shame really.

Their first day back open the service was very slow which I expected as they are getting back into the hang of things. We ordered our food and it didn’t come out till 50 minutes later. Also found the portions to be enormous for lunch so we had plenty left over. The ambiance is nice. They only have our door seating available for now.

Very beautiful place , and the Food is delicious !

Great location with beautiful ocean views overlooking the golf course. They serve hot focaccia bread with both butter & a tomato coulis to begin the meal which was delicious. I started with the burrata vegetable soup which was fair, lacking in flavor & heartiness. And then had the roasted vegetables, which was some carrots & a beet with goat cheese. They lack for plant based options but location is great.

Food was not great.

This restaurant is beautifully designed with a large outdoor patio that overlooks the ocean and the amazing Monarch hotel. The food was insanely delicious, I highly recommend the chicken noodle soup! Staff was friendly and the right amount of attentive. We will be back!

The food and service was five star. Our waitress was wonderful and took the time to explain every dish we asked about.

Very good staff, very professional. The food was excellent and the drinks were very nice. This hotel is obviously quite stunning and also has great staff. This is a must!

Underwhelming food and service for such a beautiful hotel. View was beautiful.

Great kitchen and service that does justice to location and wonderful view.

We reserved an early table with the intentions of relaxing as the sun began to set. We did just that! We ordered drinks and enjoyed them with delicious focaccia before ordering our entrees. Dinner was delicious and the service was great. We have eaten at Aveo many times and it is always a treat.

Great service. Pays attention to details

We spent a few nights at the Monarch Beach Resort and decided to give Aveo a try. We had a table with a beautiful view of the ocean and breathtaking sunset. I had the Filet Mignon which was by far one of the best steaks I’ve had. It was paired perfectly with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My partner had the scallaps and enjoyed those too. For dessert our server suggested the Tiramasu which gave us chills it was sooo good. Different than your typical tiramisu but worth it! We had such a nice dinner that we decided to eat there again the next night. The food the second night was equally as delicious, although there were three families seated behind us with 8 smaller kids in their party. They were SOOO loud and obnoxious and at one point the kids were running aimlessly around the restaurant and even screamed and shrilled behind our table (I can still hear that in my ear). The servers apologized although I feel the restaurant could have done more as every table near us complained. They should have moved the family inside or off to the side so the entire restaurant wasn’t inconvenienced by these rowdy and obnoxious children. That almost ruined our date night but the server, food, and view made up for it. Would definitely go back when we return to the Monarch.

In fairness, maybe staff is still getting its bearings from covid-19 impacts to the restaurant but service was painfully slow. Perhaps review current staffing levels to see if it’s adequate?

21st wedding Anniversary

Beautiful setting, great service. Food is mediocre, pretty bland.

We weren't impressed with AVEO our last visit, but we didn't want to get out so we decided to give it another try this trip. Same experience. It's good food, but not great. Prices are high. There was a large table near us, loud talkers, children watching loud videos. There are better options.

Great food !

Beautiful setting and decor. Lovely wine list.

The filet mignon was spectacular but the calamari was way too breaded, the lobster gnocchi was just eh and the red snapper ceviche was ok as well. The waitress told my friend and myself that "wow you guys ordered a lot" and then proceeded to place our dirty plates on top of the full plate of pasta and walked away with the food without asking us if we were done or wanted it wrapped up to go. Other than the weird service, the atmosphere and vibes were very beautiful. But staffing has got to match the prices on the menu. If I'm spending $200 a person for dinner and two drinks, I expect the service to be impeccable.

We went for my birthday dinner on a beautiful evening in time for sunset. Despite having reservations, we could not be seated outside on the patio overlooking the ocean because we found out that all outdoor tables are saved for hotel guests. So despite empty tables outside, we were awkwardly seated inside, alone in the dining room, in a large booth. The service was lukewarm from the start to end, as if they really weren’t happy to have us as customers. My husband enjoyed his ribeye but I got the $40 Scallops with Potato Risotto that was three scallops with diced potatoes swimming in cream sauce. The scallops were good but the potatoes were a poor interpretation of risotto and the value really wasn’t there. I won’t book any more occasions at Aveo, I’m sorry to say.

For my 50th birthday, I decided to treat myself and stay at The Monarch Beach Resort. What could be more decadent than a fancy breakfast? Saul was the most attentive server, who greeted us with a smile (even under the mask) and took care of every aspect of our meal. The four of us were treated like royalty! Thank you, Saul, for making my bday extra special (with dessert on top)!

To be honest, the food was less than average. I was surprised. Very lackluster when spending $200 on a dinner for two. Most things were tasteless. So many good alternatives in the area.

Amazing hospitality and service!

They were so sweet attentive and wonderful. It was a beautiful breakfast

Anniversary

Sat on the upper balcony overlooking the ocean...food &service were outstanding👍

Great food. Beautiful location

Food was amazing! The views are stunning and the staff was lovely!

Everything was wonderful. When we arrived at 5:30pm hour of our reservation, our table was not ready but the hostess had us waiting with a Champagne glasses and that make all the difference. The food was amazing and the service great as well. It was our anniversary and definitely we want to come back .

Wonderful, delicious lunch with family. Excellent service.
Thank you,

Don’t make people wait long
U should bring out the bread right away

Exceptional food, service and adult beverages with a million dollar view of the Pacific. This restaurant is a must see for the LA area!

Although the food was very good, it was very much overpriced. The ambience for inside seating was extremely disappointing. Outdoor seating would be much better, weather permitting.

Service was very very slow two days in a row.
