| - So we had our wedding reception here and it was phenomenal. It was small, well as far as wedding receptions go, but everything went so smoothly, I couldn't have asked for anything else.
Christian and Philip were amazing, they were really accommodating, letting us check out the restaurant before making our reservation, and not even pushing us into making the reservation that night (even though we shot them an email the minute we got home saying we wanted in), having custom menus with the prices removed printed specially for us, and just being patient with all of our questions, and trust me, we had more than a few. They even let us drop off our decorations and cakes before they even opened for the day, which was a huge relief for me since I was afraid the cake would melt in the car as we went out to get our pictures taken before dinner.
The food itself was absolutely delicious - all our guests (and us too) were just blown away. In every dish, the flavors blended perfectly together and you really couldn't go wrong with any of the choices available for the 3rd and 4th courses. I cannot stress how many times, in between bites, my now husband kept saying he'd be taking me here for our anniversaries to come. And the presentation of each dish! Let's just say pretty much everyone at the table was taking pictures before digging in, though that got hard to do since we were getting a little too excited to try each dish as it came out.
The only thing I might have changed about the night was maybe our main waiter. Don't get me wrong, he did his job, but was just a little short with us. And this might have partially been my fault since I wanted things run a certain way and he didn't care to be told what to do, so I guess we just got off on the wrong foot. But at the table, in front of our guests, he did his job so I won't dwell too much on this.
All in all, amazing experience, and we're absolutely glad we chose Cafe Monarch for our reception!
