Monarque

A fabulous dinner and show that's perfect with friends or a date night. The cocktails are dazzling, the food is exceptional! Definitely a must-go for anyone in Baltimore!

First of all, we mistakenly made our reservation to sit at the bar but what a fortunate mistake that was! We'll sit at the bar next time, too! The bar stools are super comfortable and the service at the bar is very fast and efficient and friendly. I wanted to give Monarque 5 stars but I was disappointed by my steak: I ordered the 90-day-aged "rib steak" (which I assumed meant "ribeye") but it had more of the texture of a NY strip than a ribeye so I can only attribute that to not enough marbling because when I buy ribeyes and grill them they are always very tender and not chewy or hard to cut.

My husband and I have eaten at many Baltimore restaurants including many Atlas restaurants and this was probably the best meal we’ve had since we moved here 3 years ago. The Salmon and short rib dishes were delicious and the Mac and cheese side was some of the best we’ve had. The service was excellent too!
