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!
Michele JurewiczMarch 3, 2013Great 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.
Brian PaladieOctober 11, 2014Fried green tomato sandwich. Patty melt. Great beer. The music and accompanying videos are awesome.
Lesley SmaleFebruary 5, 2014The 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
Time Out ChicagoJune 19, 2013The Monarch converted its backyard from a beer garden into a precious little Wicker Park hideaway, complete with an herb garden.
Diane BroderickJune 16, 2014Delicious food and friendly staff. Had the fried green tomato sandwich and fries. Yum.
Tony CAugust 30, 2014The cocktails were good and I highly suggest the patio. But it can add up quickly.
Jessica MudraFebruary 10, 2014Came 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).
Tyler Van WyheSeptember 1, 2013Don't Ever Play with Guns is an awesome drink! Also have the Blue Crab appetizer.
Tana BabcockJuly 13, 2015Service kinda stunk on a slow, Sunday afternoon. Drinks were alright but the food was yummy!
R squaredNovember 16, 2013Monarch does not understand the concept of a reservation. They TAKE the reservations. They just don't HONOR the reservation. #FAIL
