    Beautiful space. Light crowd. Inexperienced hostess and waiter. Limited wine selection - out of top two choices; brought a red wine to the table as a potential substitute for a white selection. Cesar salad dressing good but lettuce served limp. Blackened red snapper and almond crusted snapper entrees were excellent. Overall food and setting good. But would have expected better service and wine options at the price point. Doesn’t stack up well vs other high end restaurants on the Island.

    We had an excellent brunch celebration for our anniversary. The food was so fresh and beautifully displayed. My husband swears he’s never had better oysters in his life (and we’re old!). I loved the snow crab and the prime rib. Our server was very attentive and helpful without being overly present. This is my third time to enjoy this brunch and it won’t be my last!

    This is a delightful, special Sunday brunch. It includes lots of shrimp, crab legs, salad and vegetable bar, large omelette area, pasta area, prime rib area, great dessert area. It basically can please all who come.

    Staff were friendly but slow with drinks. The hostess didn’t create a great first impression but fortunately the manager picked up the slack. The cocktails were very good and although the food was good it missed the levels of previous visits. The cost was a little high but well worth it for the surroundings.

    Always a wonderful experience to visit the Monarch Feast. Family loved it. The 3 and 5 year olds were catered too and they felt like a million bucks. Food was amazing, service outstanding and we all left very happy. Thank you for such an incredible memory.

    Disappointing birthday meal. Many food bins were empty for long periods of time. They ran out of cocktail sauce. Desert table was uninspiring. Service was lacking. Lines at various stations were really long and slow moving. Seemed severely understaffed. At $90/person I expected far better.

    We ordered a dozen raw oysters to start. They weren’t fresh: no brine, dry, shell cracked, poor texture. Can’t believe they wouldn’t serve fresh oysters at the gulf. I ordered gumbo for my main and the rice was under cooked. Husband ordered fish of the day and the risotto was also very undercooked, crunchy. So many great restaurants in Galveston, this is definitely not one to try.

    The food was terrible! The service was nice. Our waiter was very attentive and nice. But the food was awful. Will never return to the restaurant again.
