Went to celebrate a 23 year friendship anniversary with my bestie who lives out of town. I had previously visited before and had a good enough experience. However this time, we were overall underwhelmed. Small portions, slow service depending on who you are/what you look like, and minimally flavored food. Pros? The stand out was the carpaccio hands down. But, with so many upscale options in Dallas, go elsewhere for better food, service, and value.

Jamie, thank you for being a return guest and for choosing to celebrate that anniversary here. Please accept our apologies if anything was not perfect during your most recent visit. We pride ourselves on consistent excellence, and your recent visit should have been just as enjoyable. If possible, please email us with your reservation name and date so we can investigate the issue, prevent it from happening again, and determine how we can make it up to you on a future visit. We hope to hear from you! The Monarch Dallas team

Food and service were very sub par. Everything was either too salty or no flavor and service was nothing special.

We wish we had known so we could have made you new items or helped you choose others we're sure you would have enjoyed.

Best meal I ever had. It might sound like an exaggeration but I’m not. We are Houston locals and we been to a few michellin star restaurants in our area like BCN & March and Monarch can definitely compete hand to hand against them. My wife is a big sushi aficionado, and she said it was the best crudo( sashimi she’s ever had). The filet mignon was spectacular, flavorful and almost melted in your mouth. I had an off the menu table side wagyu sausage that was exceptionally good, paired with a black truffle risotto that was probably the best risotto I ever had. The lemon mousse dessert was also phenomenal. Our service was also fantastic, Juan made sure we were taken care off, knowledgeable, attentive and fun. Would highly recommend and definitely coming back next time we are in Dallas
MonarchResponded on June 13, 2025
Rafael, that's wonderful to hear. We love knowing you and your wife enjoyed our food so much! Thank you for your compliments on Juan's service as well. We can't wait to have you back next time you visit Dallas!

My husband and I have been in the hospitality business for nearly 30 years and the food is really salty at your restaurant. We love the restaurant, but the food is really salty. Need to talk to Chef and tell him to hold the salt.
MonarchResponded on June 5, 2025
Kathy, thank you for being a loyal guest of ours. We appreciate your feedback as well. Please accept our apologies if our food and been overly seasoned for your tastes. That's not something we often hear, but we will certainly keep an eye on that. Next time you visit, please introduce yourself to a manager so we can ensure you and your husband feel everything is perfect. We look forward to serving you again soon. The Monarch Dallas team
