    We sat on their lovely covered patio with our dog, daughter, son-in-law and our baby grandson and a good time was had by all! The gluten free menu was helpful to both me and our daughter who also cannot eat gluten. All the food was fresh and super delicious. If I could get the recipe for their sautéed spinach I would make it at least once a week! Service was great and our server Grace was awesome!

    Chef Jae was very friendly and welcoming at our omakase experience. There was always a story telling about each item on the menu and the staff was extremely attentive to all patrons. It was the seasoning used for each dish that made it different for me from a traditional omakase and was pleasantly surprised by it. I would definitely suggest people to try it. Park in the back if you can as the front will require payment on the meter if you are there before 8 pm.

    Very pricey sushi and they serve one person at a time while the others sit. They need to serve a table as they order. Food is good .

    Absolutely loved the dinner experience at Monaco Encino. Tasty drinks with a wonderful presentation, delicious homemade pasta, and I'm still thinking about their Malabi Martini dessert. The manager and servers were so nice and welcoming too! Definitely a place to try for a date night or girls night!
