Monarch Restaurant

This place is beautiful and that is the only reason why I’m giving it one star. First of all the wait staff and management that work at this establishment are rude or at best they would just ignore your table completely for 1 hour while you are waiting for your food or a beverage refill. The food for the most part is bland and tasteless, even though the average main course is about $30. As a side note, we were told that the chicken is very good but the sides that come with it are, again, blend and tasteless. The drinks were average. The main issue was the lack of communication between the waiter and our table, as we sat and waited for our food for more than an hour. One of the member of our party is diabetic, and we have to ask another waiter if he could locate our server, which completely disappeared for 40 minutes, or if he could send a manager to our table, but when the manager arrived she was extremely rude and condescending. After all the time we waited for our meal to arrive, it also was wrong and it came at different times, so by the time we were all served half of the food was luke-warm. We were very disappointed at this price point for the service and quality of the food. Despite the fact that we were treated like garbage we still tipped the waiter and left without making a scene. I would suggest this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a nice location for pictures, but that would be it. Do not expect good food and definitely do not expect good service.

Very unique! Quite place and the food was wonderful! When they bring your ticket to the table, it is in an old book instead of a credit card folder. Our book was an Arithmetic book from 1958. It took me back to when I was in school and the style of quality of books that were used I in school back then. Staff was very friendly.

Delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere, its a spot I plan to return to. The restaurant is located in the downtown area, inside the hotel Deco. This was my initial visit and I'm hoping that the food is consistent in the future, because if it is, it will be one of my favorite spots in Omaha. As well, I do hope that the service is friendlier in the future. It was professional, but a bit cold which was a little uninviting (from our server). The hostess and everyone else was very warm however. Blistered shisito peppers 5 stars This is the best shisito dish I've had in Omaha so far. Often they are flavored with an Asian sauce, but the chef let's these peppers shine on their own. Herb marinated Olives 5 stars Remiscent of my visit to Chicago when I was staying on the Fairmont gold floor. Wagyu steak and frites 5 star The sauce was so good on this. The flavor was subtle but I couldn't get enough. It was exceptionally tender. Pork shank 4.5 star Technically it could be a 5 star, my best friend certainly thought so. The outside was a bit over cooked but the inside closer to the bone was perfect. It might be an issue with the size which is absolutely massive. If you're hungry I'd recommend this. Lemon tart 4.5 stars A bit too sweet for me, but still an excellent dessert. The crust is stiff like a cookie so it took a bit too break. Creme brulee 5 star One of the best versions I've had. The sugar on top was a bit thick, I would have preferred a thinner crust, but the perfect consistency of the custard won me over. Parking is metered street parking but there is a parking lot. We paid $10 for the evening. We did not inquire if there was other parking available (for example in the hotel)

Literally wanted to eat everything on the menu! It was so good, we even came back for breakfast! Service was awesome. Definitely worth it.

Perfect visit. The breakfast menu has all the favorites (Eggs Benedict, granola bowls etc.) and the service was superb. It’s also very nicely decorated and the music is lovely.

We ordered a hanger steak and a filet mignon. For some reason, I thought the hanger steak was better even though it was half the price. Maybe it was the mouthwatering sauce that the hanger steak was on top of. Overall, Monarch is a beautiful, chill restaurant with great food.

Great spot with food that impressed. While the menu for food and drinks is small, they got the nail on the head with every item. The options feel curated and perfected. The ambience cannot be topped in this restaurant and the staff was wonderful and friendly.

Wow. I was pleasantly surprised with such a great experience at this restaurant. My husband and I went here with our friends for NYE dinner and it was a fixed holiday menu. Even though I would consider this dinner slightly overpriced, it was still a 5 star experience for me. The champagne was so smooth and amazing, the steak I had was cooked to perfection with the most incredible sauce and the rest of the dinner/dessert experience was amazing. My water glass was always full and the server left us alone enough to enjoy the night. I would definitely recommend trying Monarch out if you haven't before. Just know, this is a fancy dinner ($$$) not a casual night!

The food was delicious. The lamb was cooked perfectly and was tender and well seasoned. The desserts were amazing and prefect for sharing (or not sharing too). The service was quick and very friendly. I will definitely be back.

This is a fun place! Lots of stuff to see and the people watching is excellent. We shared the wyobi steak tartar...this was a first for me, but we heard they have the best in the area, "can't go wrong", so we tried it. It was excellent! The bar tender did an amazing job too...professional at every level. Highly recommended!!!
