    Delightful choices, perfect for late afternoon/early dinner dining in a beautiful garden setting. Seasonal vegetables and meats put together in fresh creative ways. Hummus appetizer with homemade blue corn chips a must. Also the desert fruit tamale with guava sorbet and coconut a surprisingly delicious ending.

    Great food and a spectacular view of the valley. We decided to book reservations for Christmas 2024 Brunch and we were very impressed with the service & food. Unfortunately our reservations were booked the week of Christmas so the only option available was for outdoor seating. Winter in Phoenix can be a bit cold when dining outdoors so they were nice enough to provide blankets to guests seated outdoors, which we thought was excellent. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely dine sometime again.

    We absolutely love Cafe Monarch. We had a beautiful 4-course meal and every bite was amazing; especially the zucchini rolatini and lamb chops. The entire team at Cafe Monarch is exceptional. Special shout out to Dan at the bar that makes every drink to perfection. This experience is priceless!

    Absolutely perfect. My boyfriend and I are visiting from California and I wanted to bring him somewhere memorable for his birthday…this place made the cut!! We love the ambiance of the sultry atmosphere but even greater than that was the thoughtful and expertly orchestrated plates. Our server was so wonderful also. She was extremely knowledgeable and offered amazing suggestions. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!!

    We L-O-V-E Monday's pasta night. The service, the quality, the options, the taste, and the cost are exceptional. Just not a fan getting in and out of those booths. I think they're too low to the ground. Also, even though the ambience is lovely, the noise pollution is often times overly loud.
