Best Casual Restaurants in Monument

Party of 5 celebrating my son’s birthday and I deliberately got a reservation at 5 on Friday to take advantage of the 1/2 price small plates/cocktails. We loved almost every single bite! We ordered another round of lamb ribs and bison meatballs because they were so yummy. The XO sauce on the scallops is not good. We had the special cocktail (apple butter manhattan) which didn’t disappoint and the Pardon My French which never disappoints. We enjoyed the prawns, empanadas, croquettes, poke nachos and bacon wrapped dates. The paella was superb if not authentic. We had the sticky pudding and the crisp; both were mediocre. The service was slow, but we were not in a hurry so it was okay.

We had a GREAT experience today. My 90 yo parents were meeting their first great grandchild after traveling to CO from PA. We were given a room on a sunny patio with a quiet atmosphere. We were accommodated with a place for my daughter's wheelchair and the new grandbaby's high chair. Our server (I am blanking her name right now) was OUTSTANDING, very attentive and responsive to our requests. She was fantastic. The food was also amazing and the portions were very generous. A GREAT lunch with a wonderful server, fantastic food and a family memory! THANK YOU for hosting this fun event!

The Chef's Feast is a great value. You get soup, an appetizer, and an entree of your choice (from a limited menu). The Chocolate Souffle is also great to share with 2 or 3 people.

The service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress busted her butt and we were never without anything. They have made a lot of changes for the better. However, I’m not sure why you would remove salsa from the menu and you can either only have chips and guacamole or chips and queso, no longer chips and salsa. Please bring back the salsa.
