Monarch Restaurant Dallas Reviews
The ambiance of this restaurant is worth the visit.
The food and drinks were delicious. Fresh seafood, everything came out the right temperature. We had a leisurely meal with premium seating, the view is amazing. The server was not reading our table well. Not bad service but nothing to write about. Th
Veal tasted like Tyson chicken, and sauce was mediocre.
Ricotta whip had no flavor, but the salt and tomato's were good. The mushrooms were savory but soaking in oil, service was very slow and unaccommodating. Menu knowledge was inadequate as well. Could be a great restaurant.
Not worth it.
...First timers celebrating an anniversary. We were looking forward to a great dining experience and got organized chaos and average food. Waited 30 minutes past our reservation time. Two different people brought us prosecco as a nice gesture for the
Dinner on 8/13/2025.
The Good: the view at night on the 49th floor downtown is amazing. The Caesar Salad was great but my husband didn't like the lemon in the dressing. The salmon high quality, perfectly medium rare and delicious but the lemon flavor was too much fo
We had an incredible evening.
The 8 of us tried virtually everything on the menu, the staff was very attentive (even fun) and the restaurant is beautiful. The prices are a little crazy but if you know that going in, I suspect you'll have a great time. I can't imagine go

The view is incredible, and the staff is attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the food and mixed drinks are downright terrible. The quality is nowhere near worth the high prices, making the dining experience extremely disappointing. Come for the at

Absolutely Awful Hostess Experience - Left Without Eating I don't usually leave reviews this harsh, but the "welcome" we received at this restaurant on 8/31/25 (Labor Day weekend) was one of the worst I've ever experienced. We a

Laughably expensive venue, overdone decor, snobby staff- I could go on. Good drinks but insanely priced. Went with attorney friends, all impeccably dressed, well behaved, well versed in consumption of Dallas' best food and beverage options, and
Went for our anniversary and booked a window table.
View was amazing. Food was also amazing - from cocktails, to apps, to mains (Bistecca was excellent).
We went to the special Valentine's Day dinner.
Everything is decadent, from the glass of champagne for the ride up the elevator, to the amazing views. The food was great for the most part. The crab add on was way too salty, and we love salt so it's takes a lot for us to say that. Our server
One of the most expensive meals in Dallas.
The food is very good (but not great), but the views are spectacular. Try not to get upsold on the optional items.
Pretty underwhelming, half the food was way too salty.
This restaurant was a disappointment. Some of the food ordered was excellent (Wagu), but about half of the items ordered did not stand out and were way too salty. For the prices charged this restaurant has to do better. Service was adequate. The
The Culmination: Dining at Monarch Dallas
Choosing the right dining experience to close out this journey was a deliberate process, and Monarch Dallas became the clear and inevitable choice. My first Michelin-affiliated experience in the United States, and my companion’s first Michelin meal
Sky-High Experience Worth Every Second
From the moment you step off the elevator at Monarch, you know you’re in for something special. The Dallas skyline wraps around you like a painting; floor-to-ceiling windows, dramatic lighting, and a setting that makes every table feel like the bes
Go for the view not for the food unless you like salt.
From the outset we were very disappointed. From the water glasses filled with tepid water - we had to ask for ice. Bread basket put on the table contained four pieces for seven people - we asked for more and never received it. The food was average,
Fantastic experience!
First time there. Was told this was the best restaurtant in Dallas and it lived up to its rep. Food was fantastic, great wine list and super service. Hope to get another chance to go!
Beautiful and delicious!
Beautiful and delicious! The restaurant is gorgeous. The staff are gracious and the food is wonderful. Highly recommend!
Fantastic Restaurant, Gorgeous Views.
The Monarch is one of the best restaurants I've been to and being from Toronto, we have a lot of great restaurants but this was exceptional. I wish we had said yes to the bubbly for the ride up to the 49th floor! It wasn't a special occa

Came here for dinner last month with my best friend.
Let me just start here.... You're gonna spend a pretty penny here, especially if you're like me and have to try everything! My dinner experience here was really great. We were sat by the window and the view of Dallas as the sun sets is just beautiful
Had a reservation for our anniversary.
The food was 10/10 amazing! The service was the best! We did have to wait a short time for our table but we were very pleased with the bar waiting area where we had some bubbly and the best part, the view! Can't wait to celebrate more special events

Really great pastas and overall great food. Top it off with spectacular views of Dallas and you have a great place for special dinner. Service was very strong and noise levels were comfortable. The only challenge is pricing. Prices are more on par

Amazing for Any Occassion.
Amazing experience. Culinary creativity. Wonderful portions. Thoughtful, friendly service. Exceptional cocktails. Unbelievable wine list.
EXCELLENT
I have no clue how the monarch gets anything less than a 5 star rating. everything from the champagne prior to going up to the view and decor to the service and the seafood tower for happy hour was to notch. If I lived in Dallas I would be a regular!
Reservation Disappointment
I made a reservation several weeks ahead of my birthday. I stipulated when i called that I wanted a booth with a view. When a reminder text came to confirm the reservation, I was told I needed to make an additional reservation with a $250 deposit to

This was my second time to Monarch because my first time wasn't good because of several mishaps with the host/hostess. This second time, Efrain(manager) and Von(waiter) made sure my dinner was the best. I couldn't have asked for a better experience

I am not even sure where to begin, We had a team dinner there with one of our vendors at work, there was 10 of us. Nobody wanted or had to ask for anything, this team literally read all of our signs and kept us fed, and drinks filled without going
Sadly Disappointed
We were so excited to try this. The staff was so nice (except for one server that rolled her eyes when we brought a problem to her attention ). We reserved a table with a view but there was a heavy curtain blocking part of the view. The food was real

Amazing espresso martinis, gorgeous views of Dallas, delicious food. Monarch never disappoints! We've gone several times, the chicken, steak, fish, it's all been stellar. The chocolate cake is phenomenal as well.

First, you are greeted with a glass of complementary champagne as you check in downstairs. From there, you take the elevator right to the 49th floor and are quickly greeted at the hostess stand. We started with the Moscato d'Asti and the Diamond Noir

Definitely recommend you go back several times to try out different items.

Give me a good cocktail and a better view and I'll be puddy in your hands and unfortunately my colleagues re aware of this!
This restaurant is a should visit with excellent service and an intriguing atmosphere
This is a great restaurant so this is not meant to be a bad review, but for the money you may spend I want you to know what to expect. First off, I highly recommend booking a window table, which will cost you money up front, but it is supposed to be

Our first impression was “Wow!” Started with complimentary champagne at the desk upon check in for the elevator ride to the 49th floor. The view is spectacular and would be enjoyable if you were able to sit at a table by the window…we were no

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Monarch Restaurant Dallas at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Monarch Restaurant Dallas page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Monarch Restaurant Dallas to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Monarch Restaurant Dallas!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
