    They ran out of glasses, so we didn’t get our complimentary champagne on the ride up in the elevator to our table and she said she’d have it sent to our table, but it never did come. We had reservations for 8:15pm, but weren’t seated until roughly 8:45pm and didn’t have a waiter come to our table until about 9pm. Service was extraordinarily slow, so by 10:15pm when our steaks still hadn’t came out yet, we asked to have them and the sides boxed up to take home. The steaks were delicious once we made it home to try out, but for spending over $500 we did expect a bit more attentive service at the actual restaurant. The view was beautiful, but can’t say we’ll be back just because of the lack of service.

    Food experience was mixed. The halibut was dry, but the steaks were really good. Service was excellent. However, the cost was not worth the experience.
    MonarchResponded 5 days ago
    Randy, we're pleased you enjoyed our service and steaks and we appreciate the compliments. However, we are sorry you didn't feel your fish was perfect. Please know if ever something you order isn't exactly as you had hoped, we want to hear about it on the spot so we can make you a new version or help you choose something else you will love. Thank you, and hopefully, you will be back soon for what we are certain will be a great dining experience. The Monarch Dallas team

    Great Service. Food was very Salty. Every dish we ordered was like eating a salt cake. View great. Staff great. Portions very small, but that was expected. However, at this price point the food should not taste like you got it at Golden Corral.
    MonarchResponded 5 days ago
    Jeff, thank you for joining us and for complimenting our service, staff, and view. However, we are sorry to hear your food wasn't seasoned as you desired. We had no other similar mentions, but please email us with your reservation name, date, and time so we can apologize directly and investigate what could have happened. Hopefully we can have another chance to impress you on a future visit. Thank you, and we look forward to serving you again for what we're sure will be an excellent dining experience.

    Great service, great views of the city. You can taste the quality of the ingredients well worth the price, the portions of the pasta could be bigger but it was still very good and the ambience is fantastic.
    MonarchResponded on December 6, 2024
    We appreciate your wonderful feedback, Connor. Thank you for highlighting the quality of ingredients we always insist on, our service, and our views of the city. We're glad you had a great time. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

    Monarch is always a great experience. Food was perfect, staff were attentive and helpful. We were there the day after Thanksgiving and the staff worked on Thanksgiving. They were pleasant to engage with despite not being off for the holidays.
    MonarchResponded on December 6, 2024
    Thank you for what sounds like your many visits, Matt. We are happy to see you enjoyed your recent post-Thanksgiving meal so much. Restaurant business professionals know the holidays are part of the job, and we're glad to hear you enjoyed the staff. We look forward to serving you again in the near future so we can thank you in person!

    Fabulous Food and the best service from every staff member. The only downside, was they seated next to us a family group with 3 young children who were permitted to move around their table (and ours) with lots of loud squeals, crying and little intervention from the adults. Very disappointing. Fine for at home behavior but not in fine dining atmosphere.
    MonarchResponded on December 3, 2024
    Diane, we appreciate your kind words about our food and staff service. We understand your concerns regarding the nearby guests and apologize that it disrupted your dining experience. That normally isn't an issue and we do our best to keep things like that from occuring. Your feedback is valuable as we continually strive to maintain an enjoyable atmosphere for all our patrons. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to provide you with a more tranquil visit in the future. Thank you, The Monarch Dallas team
