My wife and I recently went here for an early Valentines Day dinner. In summary, this place is magnificent. We are big foodies and have dined at 3 star Michelin restaurants in France and Cafe Monarch is the closest thing in Phoenix to that kind of experience. They put a tremendous amount of rigor and effort into all aspects of the ambiance, the beverages, and the food. I highly recommend this restaurant. For the price of the food with respect to the quality, it is also a great value. The staff is also very, very friendly and very attentive to ensuring you are having a great experience.
