    They have a brand new menu that brings the house down. Must eat the scallops and the steak tartare, and the main dish you have to try the Amish chicken beast with a popcorn sauce and cornbread grits

    Love this place. The day Kith and Kin closed I was so sad. I wish the chef would bring back the Chicken Thighs from Kith and Kin. The Wings, Fries, Bibb Salad, Foie Gras, and Pimento Cheese are great!

    Great biscuits & gravy, great burger & fries. But I'm a pregnant lady and I wanted more fries... No dice. P.S. this place is also a Detroit bar! Made watching the Blackhawks-Red Wings game REAL weird.

    Fried green tomato sandwich. Patty melt. Great beer. The music and accompanying videos are awesome.

    The food was fabulous, definitely get the Bibb salad. The service was overwhelmingly attentive so don't expect to have a serious conversation without being interrupted 8x

    The Monarch converted its backyard from a beer garden into a precious little Wicker Park hideaway, complete with an herb garden. http://tmout.us/lKTEo Read more

    The cocktails were good and I highly suggest the patio. But it can add up quickly.

    Came here for New Years. Really fun place, but definitely a better setting in the summer.

    Waiting for a table? Check out the 4 Miles 2 Memphis boutique across the street (from Danielle of American Pickers).

    Monarch does not understand the concept of a reservation. They TAKE the reservations. They just don't HONOR the reservation. #FAIL
