Yup. I fell in love again. Reborn. Unreal.
This place is purely amazing to say any other word than "perfect" to describe Cafe Monarch, would just be cruel injustice.
Every dish left my hubby and me speechless. Their cocktails were phenomenal too and complemented the dishes. We tried "The Monarch", "The Spaniard", and "El Diablo". All very tasty but my favorite was "The Monarch" just because I love the fresh fruit juice concoction.
I love that it's a set menu of 4 courses:
1. Roasted Cauliflower Soup - literally woke us up and prepared us for what's to come next
2. Spring Salad - This is what I envision what Spring would taste like. I'm just drooling thinking about it again
3. Lollipop Lamb Chop - Exactly like the name. I wanted to pick up the lamb chop and save it for dessert because it was so good
4. There are 4 selections to choose from but I got the "Rosemary Seared Filet Mignon" - The filet literally cut like butter and just melted in my mouth
There was a complementary dessert for me since it was my birthday - their Rum Cake, which was out of this world and they even gave me a gift! It's a cute delicate jewelry box. I loved it!
I love restaurants that take the time to be detailed in their décor, service, and everything else. Their attention to detail and consideration definitely showed from entering the restaurant until the last step I took as we walked out - completely blown away!
We'll definitely be going back in the near future, special occasion or not :)
