I had high hopes for Monarch after viewing their site. The decor is beautiful and there was one vegan choice on the menu, so this would work for me.
I was taking my friend out for her birthday, and she arrived first. She wasn't greeted, and we had to wait and I had to ask for a server. She was too busy, although there were only two other tables. The place was dead. The bartender brought us tepid water and menus. The vegan choice had been removed.
The bartender was too busy to provide good service or check on us, and the bar isn't in the same room as the restaurant.
The bruschetta had thick, oily slices of mozzarella on tiny bread, and the pesto pasta (which wasn't vegan) was "Grinch Green." We asked for some bread to go with it, and we were charged for that. The flavor was fine if you like pesto.
We were told there wasn't a dessert menu, but they had a turtle cheesecake, which my friend doesn't like, so she didn't get a birthday treat,
The bartender forgot to add my friend's second drink (a room-temperature hot toddy) to my bill after I looked at it and gave him my card, so when he returned, he added it without telling me the new total before paying. Most restaurants would have comped the dring or, at minimum, informed the diner that the bill would be increased before they paid.
I would not recommend this restaurant, and I feel terrible that my friend had a bad birthday experience. I don't think it will stay open much longer anyway.
