Best Historic Restaurants in Phoenix

Exceptional service. Beautiful historic bldg. lovely fireplace by our table. Food was delicious. They accommodated my dietary restrictions beautifully: no gluten, dairy or shellfish. I had the special salmon and it was great.

The quiche was delicious. Our server didn’t rush us through our meal. Very attentive service.

Dining at Cafe Monarch is similar to enjoying a wonderful performance. It reminds me of restaurants in Europe, where the waitstaff take their career seriously and see you, as the dining guest, as special, not just a number to be herded through as quickly as possible. During our 3 hour dining experience, we enjoyed the 8 course menu, which was excellent. My companion had the vegetarian, while I had the standard menu. Both were excellent with us truly enjoying 7/8 dishes. The waitstaff are extremely attentive but not disruptive and make the whole experience enjoyable. While it is very expensive for 8 small courses, we both left satisfied. Given that it was a 3 hour experience, I would consider it more than just "dinner" and just that, an experience. I will return again

Really, really nice. My wife had the Lamb Chops.... she said the best she has ever had. I had a special combo with Soup, Prime Rib and Desert.... it was really good too. They had a number of other dishes (especially seafood) that I was considering. They have a nice menu of items to chose from. It was a tough choice to make. The place is really nice and the service was excellent.

Wonderful experience. We sat outside with space heater. Welcoming staff. Delicious food. Beautiful patio setting. They were decorated for Christmas, so that was wonderful, too. They make their tortillas right there, and the food is exceptional.
