Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Tempe

This place is amazing. The food was solid but I want to say the whole service staff was top notch. I’m in the restaurant business and can only hope my team runs as well as this place did. Highly recommend it.

When you walk through the gates you feel like you’re in Europe. We were immediately greeted upon walking in. Once seated we were quickly given menus and met our servers. They went through the menus (wine, cocktail, caviar, and the different courses) with great detail. We chose 2 cocktails and the four courses. My partner and I ordered all the courses so we could try everything. I chose the rack of lamb and he chose the surf and turf as the final course. Everything was fantastic. The dishes were cooked to perfection and packed with unique flavors. We finished off with the pear creme brûlée for dessert, which was very good, but the four course meal was definitely the star of the show. We had a wonderful evening, and we would highly recommend for a special occasion to treat yourself at Cafe Monarch.

Great food. Unique takes on Japanese cuisine using local ingredients. Everything we tried was spectacular!

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.

Excellent experience from all perspectives. Attractive setting, wonderful service and most importantly, excellent food. I would highly recommend the Branzino- it was expertly prepared with a unique and delicious flavor profile; one of the most enjoyable entrees I have had in years.
