We will be back because the food was excellent. We got the prix fixe (I forget what it was called) and the amount of food / the quality of food ... was astounding (especially for the price). We loved everything. What a treat! We didn't love the service (friendly but super inattentive) nor the vibe (toddlers running around and screaming), but the food will bring us back, for sure.

Absolutely loved the dinner experience at Monaco Encino. Tasty drinks with a wonderful presentation, delicious homemade pasta, and I'm still thinking about their Malabi Martini dessert. The manager and servers were so nice and welcoming too! Definitely a place to try for a date night or girls night!
