    This was the first time we dined on a week night. We had the pleasure of meeting and being served by Dennis and his back staff.. The experience was excellent. Our food was spot on. We enjoyed our evening out thanks to The Chophouse and their excellent employees.

    Amazing experience. Waiter was personable and knowledgeable. We had the table side ceasar. It was good I had the scallops and OMG best scallops-ever. (And I have had them lol over ) Husband had the Sea Bass and delicious with the sauce and veggies. Finally we got the table side Strawberry Gelato - highly recommended (made with liquid nitrogen) and OMG it was amazing. - we would definitely eat there again

    Far exceeded my expectations! All of the teams and leadership here are firing on all cylinders. Massive props to the culinary team, each dish was executed perfectly, especially the Filet Rossini! The entire service was flawless from the front of house team, and they were also very friendly and personable. Great beverage program with some absolute hidden gems for great value in the wine list, too!

    It was a splendid dining experience. We were a party of 4. Scallops, sea bass and New York Strip were all delicious and beautifully presented. Our waiter, Dennis, was extremely helpful in guiding us through wine and dessert selections.

    They didn’t do anything special for my husbands birthday
    Monarch ChophouseResponded on June 18, 2025
    Dear Erin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your husband’s birthday celebration with us did not meet your expectations. We understand how important special occasions are, and it’s disappointing to learn that we missed the opportunity to make it memorable for you both. Your experience does not reflect the standard of hospitality we strive to deliver, especially during milestone moments. I sincerely apologize for the oversight and will be sharing your comments with our team to ensure we do better moving forward. We value your input, and while I understand your hesitation, I hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the kind of service you expected and deserved. Best, The Managment team

    Everything was wonderful from start to finish. The wait staff were friendly and attentive and helpful with the many choices on the menu. The steaks were perfectly cooked and presented beautifully. We also ordered 2 appetizers and 2 sides that were also very good. Would highly recommend the Monarch Chophouse.
