The best service in the most romantic setting. The food was phenomenal! The drinks were perfection! Sasha and Dan took such good care of us at the bar. Great personalities and very helpful answering all our questions. If it was possible to give a 10 star review I would Chef Max created a special dish and brought it out to us personally. There wasn't anything we tried that was subpar. Out of this world experience. Everyone needs to try this place at least onc read more

Cafe Monarch isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience! My husband surprised me with a reservation at Cafe Monarch on February 15 to celebrate both a belated Valentine's Day and my birthday, which was just a few days later. The restaurant kindly called to confirm our reservation along with the special Valentine's prix fixe menu the day before. We arrived early and took advantage of the complimentary valet service. Every staff member we encountered greeted us warmly, and we were seated on their lovely patio. It's easy to see why Cafe Monarch earned the #1 spot on Yelp's Top 10 Most Romantic Restaurants in the U.S. for 2026. The Valentine's Day tasting menu included: Amuse bouche: oyster and pink peppercorn tuna crudo First course: roasted cauliflower soup Second course: choice of Argentinian shrimp or pork belly Third course: choice of scallop or venison Fourth course: choice of Chilean sea bass, one of the Monarch signature cuts, New Zealand rack of lamb, or double cut Iberico pork chop Dessert: Dark chocolate heart Wow, it was truly incredible! I chose all of the seafood options, and even though everything was delicious, the Chilean sea bass, scallop, and the roasted cauliflower soup were the highlights for me. I also ordered a French 75, which was was fantastic. The service was excellent from start to finish! The staff clearly know their craft and take pride in it. Cafe Monarch is pricey, but I highly recommend it for an exquisite fine dining experience! read more

From getting out of my uber to the entrance of Cafe Monarch, it was such an elegant, sophisticated and grand entrance. There was a beautiful fountain outside. It was quite chilly on the evening I visited, so I ran inside quickly. Robert took care of me for the evening and was absolutely fantastic. I sat in the back left corner of the restaurant. The interior design was one I couldn't help myself from staring at. There were many lit candles, gorgeous embellishments, huge architectural columns, and it was clear that the elegance of the entrance continued into the interior. I decided to order from the four course menu. I got a small gift from the chef to start, a small appetizer. Much appreciated! For my first course, I ordered the spring pea creme brulee which consisted of black truffle, sweetbreads, almond and leeks. There was also a component of salmon to this first course. I, however, am not fond of fish, but it didn't taste fishy at all. Robert convinced me of the same. It was truly creamy and delicious. It had the crunchy component of the crème brulee dessert without being a dessert. For the second course, I chose the pork belly which consisted of cippolini onion, ham, chorizo, soubise, currant and rye. It was AMAZING! For my third course I ordered the scallop, which was absolutely fantastic. Cooked to perfection. For my fourth course, I got the lamb chops cooked medium. It was quite a large portion, but I managed to finish my plate because that's how absolutely delicious it was! Melt in your mouth amazing. For dessert, I ordered the Black Forest cake. It was so decadent. I loved the cherry addition. I ate every single morsel of every portion of this meal. Robert was extremely accomodating, kind and hardworking. I want to thank him for including my grapefruit mocktail on the house. I had such a great time at Cafe Monarch. Truly such an elegant and elevated dining experience. I recommend this spot to all! read more

1.11.26 - who cancels a dental appt the day before simply because it's too cold to get out bed to get ready but will wake at 7am to get ready for this event? Me lol This review is based solely on the Cars & Caviar event hosted by Cafe Monarch and Highline Autos this past Sunday! Event was from 9-11am and there was a large turn out! I got there around 15-20 mins after and it was packed already. Luckily found parking right around there and then met up with friends. The show cars were parked in front and all around Cafe Monarch. There were 2 men who worked there standing out in front dressed in fancy suits. They were nice and friendly. Walked inside to use the restroom and it was nice and clean. The restaurant looked cute. Upscale and classy. To the right side of the restaurant, they had the door that opens to their patio open with a table set up there so people can order caviar or champagne. If it wasn't so cold, windy and early that morning, I would have purchased a glass and a bilini. Caffio Espresso Bar set up right in front of the restaurant and offered some delicious coffee! White Chocolate Mocha Latte, Onyx Delight Latte and Pistachio D'oro Latte were all really good. Hot coffee definitely helped. Great event! I haven't tried the lunch or dinner Cafe Monarch just yet, but I plan to eventually read more

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at Cafe Monarch. I don't think we're food snobs, but we are a hard couple to impress with dining out. Cafe Monarch did not disappoint. From the moment we stepped foot inside to the moment we left - everything was PERFECT!! Be advised, Cafe Monarch has a strict dress code. You're spending quite a bit of money on this experience so dress to impress. We sat in the dining room and man was it gorgeous. Intimate setting inside soft lit by chandlers and candlelight. The attention to detail is impeccable. Example - My Hubby only has functional use of one of his arms so i usually cut meat up for him. But he did not want me sliding the plates back and forth across the table. When the second course of Pork Belly came out, he was trying to cut it himself with his fork. The server was standing off to the side observing this and immediately stepped in and asked how everything was. And if he could assist. The server cut my hubby's pork belly up and then EVERY course selection of my hubby's that would require a knife, it came out precut. While this won't be a frequent dinner destination, it will be one we will go when when we are really wanting to celebrate special occasions. read more

We came here for my best friend's birthday and now I understand why this place is constantly ranked in the top 3 most romantic restaurants in the country. From the moment you pull up to the complimentary valet, you are treated like royalty. The Ambiance: We sat in the outdoor courtyard, and it truly feels like you've been transported to a private villa in Europe. Bubbling fountains, flickering candles, and lush vines everywhere. If you are looking to impress someone or celebrate a major milestone, this is the place. It is quiet enough for conversation but has a wonderful, sophisticated energy. read more

Loved my experience here. Pros: * Absolutely gorgeous place. Such a vibe to be there. They had our large group in a private room in the back which was stunning. * Service: everyone who works there is a Somm level 1 at least. They enjoyed talking to us about wine. The presentation of the food was like a script. The servers clearly take pride in what they do. * Food was fantastic. It's more of a culinary journey of taste than of sustenance. Portions are very small but there are so many of them in the tasting menu that it adds up. Everything was exquisite from the taste, to the presentation, to the thought behind it. Cons: None! Would come back here in a second. read more

We went to Cafe Monarch to celebrate my birthday and wow--what a memorable experience!! From the courteous complimentary valet to the very last bite of our meal, I was absolutely enchanted. The restaurant is stunning inside and out, and the romantic candlelit ambiance set the perfect mood. Every staff member was attentive and genuinely friendly, which made me fall in love with this place even more--I half expected a bit of snootiness from such a fancy spot, but there was none of that here. The attention to detail was incredible--from the décor and lighting to the elegant uniforms and dishware. They even printed a special menu with "Happy Birthday!" at the top, and every staff member made sure to wish me one. Such thoughtful customer service! We chose the four-course prix fixe menu with the oyster & caviar add-on (possibly my new obsession). Each dish was truly delicious and so perfectly paced that we were comfortably full by the fourth course. We ended with a dreamy white chocolate passion fruit mousse cake topped with a pretty butterfly biscuit, sparkler, and a cup of coffee. Overall, it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. I felt so well taken care of. It may not be a place for casual dining since it is on the pricier side, but it's absolutely worth it for special occasions! read more

Such an elevated experience ! And let me just get this over with, with the elevated experience comes elevated prices LOL. Either way, my friend and I had such a good time for their brunch. We were in awe from the moment we walked up. And once inside I felt transported outside of Arizona. Insert heart eyes! The only let down for me was I wanted more breakfast items for brunch but it was a few things plus mostly "heavy" dinner stuff. Just wasnt in the mood (both of us). We both decided on the steak/filet mignon and eggs. Really delicious. Oddly my salad was too salty for my taste, couldn't finish it. They cooked the meat to perfection. I usually get medium rare because it always gets overcooked but they cooked my friend's medium steak perfectly! The cappuccino was okay maybe needed a bit more roasted taste. Service was patient and friendly. Parking can be very limited so arrive at least 20 min before your reservation We arrived on a Thursday at opening and there was plenty of seating. Reservation is probably best. This is perfect for a special occasion. Anniversary, girly meet up, or even dining yourself. Definitely follow the dress code, you want to feel nice here. I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

Great place to celebrate any special occasion - in our case a birthday. From entering, the entire staff was super attentive and courteous. The inside makes you feel like you're in a fairytale greenhouse space in candlelight. Each course was the perfect portion leading up to our final dishes. Every bite was flavorful and they did great pacing between courses and presentation. My favorite was the Argentinian shrimp. Seafood pasta was delicious. Left every plate clean. Looking forward to trying their brunch that they're starting in October. I want to sit in the courtyard when it's cooler out. I also will try one of their drinks, as the bar makes any request, so I got an espresso martini this time. read more

Had reservations for 11:30am on a Thursday for brunch/lunch. We were the first patrons of the day and were promptly seated by the glass door that overlooks the fountain. Beautiful building inside and out. The place screams elegance. Daniel was our server and he was the epitome of servers. He explained the menu and made great recommendations. Started with the cauliflower soup, oysters with smoked onion mignonette, empanada di filet, and Argentinian shrimp. The cauliflower soup now holds a special place in our hearts! The chef treated us to a French onion cannoli that we wished we could have had 10 more of. Such a delicious treat! Our main course was the Mishima Wagyu Burger. Felt a bit strange ordering a burger at such a fine establishment, but after our first bite, there were no regrets! Darn good burger that was bursting with flavor! Fries were perfectly crisped with a nice fry sauce accompaniment. We were full at this point, but we were encouraged to glance at the dessert menu...we were easily sold. Wife chose the Marroc and I went with the Pistachio Flan. Both were excellent options. We were treated to nice house-made chocolates and biscuits as well. Amazing food and service made this a wonderful experience. Will definitely be returning for dinner service. read more

From the valet service to the final bite, everything here was amazing. We celebrated my mom's 70th birthday dinner here and everyone had a wonderful time. The photos say everything - not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted incredible. No wonder reservations are needed here on any given night! Note that parking is across the street from the actual restaurant building. There are a few spots out front designated for VIP cars (think Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini types). Once inside it is a candlelit cavern with a beautiful garden patio. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Warmth emanates from the walls of the space and it is immediately inviting and comforting. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the entire tasting menu experience immensely and look forward to returning in the future. read more

My BFF took me to Cafe Monarch for a birthday brunch and it was an amazing experience! Alex and the staff were so professional and personable and went the extra mile to make my birthday special. We ordered and shared the Lobster Roll, Blue Crab Roulade and Orange Pancakes. Everything was delicious! My favorite of all three was the Blue Crab Roulade. It was like nothing I've ever had before. There's a reason Cafe Monarch is rated as one of the top 3 fine dining restaurants in the Nation and it starts with their 5 star service, a sophisticated menu and beautiful atmosphere. Alex was sure to say Happy Birthday every time he came by our table and next came birthday cake with a sparkler, and an Espresso Martini. It was the perfect brunch celebration, one I will never forget. Thank you to my BFF for spoiling me and thank you to Alex for making it such an amazing experience! read more

Cafe Monarch is an upscale restaurant offering a set-course menu, and it's clear that many guests come here for special occasions--I was no exception. We visited for my birthday, and they printed my name on the menu, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. The menu is definitely on the expensive side, but the food was absolutely lovely, and the portions were generous--unlike some fine dining experiences where you leave still feeling hungry. For the first course, we both chose the tuna. If I'm being picky, the tuna itself wasn't seasoned much, so without the accompanying condiments, it was a bit plain. That said, it might have been intentional to keep it light and not overwhelm the palate right from the start. For the second course, I opted for the pork belly while my partner chose the shrimp. The pork belly was deliciously tender, though the portion was quite small and left me wanting more. Meanwhile, the shrimp was impressively large and tasted fresh, though slightly too salty for my taste. For the third course, we both went with the veal, which was cooked perfectly with a beautiful pink center. Surprisingly, the standout for me was the carrot served alongside it--it was incredibly flavorful, possibly the best carrot I've tasted in a long time. For the final course, I had the fritti di mare, a seafood pasta dish that I absolutely loved and still think about today. It was packed with seafood and had a creamy, slightly tangy tomato-based sauce. My partner ordered the lamb, which was also lovely, although like the shrimp, it leaned a bit too salty. The restaurant also offered a complimentary bubbly drink to start and a dessert with a small fireworks display to celebrate my birthday, which made the evening even more special. All in all, the service was excellent and the experience was memorable, though the bill--including a $90 tip--was definitely a reminder that special occasions come with a price! read more

This place did not disappoint. Café Monarch absolutely lived up to every bit of the hype... and as a New Yorker with high standards and a love for unnecessarily extravagant dinners, I'm telling you now: this is the spot! From the moment you step in, it's like being transported into a romantic, floral daydream. Think old-world elegance with a modern edge. The ambiance is rich without being stuffy, and the attention to detail in the decor alone is worth a moment of awe. The staff? Impeccable. Polished, present, and just the right amount of attentive without ever hovering. We were offered a menu walkthrough, but please - we knew exactly what we came for. Naturally, we opted for the four-course dinner. Two of us went the seafood route, while the others went full carnivore. Every single dish was a winner, but if you want my cheat sheet: start with the oysters and caviar. Luxurious, clean, indulgent, the perfect kickoff. The wine pairing? Do it. Don't think. Just do it. It elevates the meal to an experience and adds that hint of indulgence that makes you feel like you're exactly where you're meant to be. The standouts: - Wagyu New York Strip from the Signature Cuts--chef's kiss - Rack of Lamb--rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection - The Hokkaido Scallops--absolute heaven for seafood lovers Yes, you're going to spend some money here. But let's be honest, if you came here thinking you were grabbing a quick bite, you missed the point entirely. This is not just dinner. It's a statement, a celebration, a memory! If you're looking for that "this makes no sense but I love every second of it" dining experience, Café Monarch is your go-to. I've already got it bookmarked for my next blowout night. Scottsdale, you've impressed this city girl. read more

CS is very thorough, efficient and excellent at follow up & follow through. Scott our main table contact was super nice, knowledgeable and very entertaining.

Cafe Monarch sets the standard for fine dining in Scottsdale. The prix fixe menu evolves with the seasons, and every visit feels like a thoughtfully composed and better than the last. Every course arrives beautifully plated, balanced in flavor, and intentional in texture, while the servers do the best job and explaining how the dish was crafted. The experience unfolds at a measured pace. Amuse style openings feel delicate and precise, often bright and acid driven to awaken the palate. Seafood courses are impeccably fresh, with clean flavors and refined sauces that enhance rather than mask. Meat is cooked to your preference, every time. Even transitional courses and palate cleansers feel considered. Dessert is never an afterthought. It is structured, layered, and texturally dynamic, balancing sweetness with acidity, crunch with silkiness. You leave feeling satisfied but not heavy, which speaks to the discipline in the kitchen. The service matches the food in precision. It is polished, intuitive, and genuinely warm. Courses are explained with clarity and knowledge. Glassware is refreshed seamlessly, and crumbs are cleared after every course. The pacing feels natural and unhurried. It is luxury hospitality without stiffness. This has become my husband's and my anniversary tradition, and part of what makes it so meaningful is the restaurant's effort to seat us at the same table as our first visit whenever possible. That small, intentional detail adds an emotional continuity to the evening and makes each year feel connected to the last. The ambiance is intimate and softly romantic, encouraging conversation and presence. It is the kind of restaurant where every element, from lighting to timing, feels curated. Cafe Monarch is not just dinner. It is a true dining experience, executed with care, consistency, and a clear point of view. For special occasions, it is as close to perfection as it gets. read more

Let me start with the ambience... It is absolutely stunning, the decor, the chandeliers, the candles everywhere, just beautiful. The service is absolutely top-notch, Scott was our Somalia/server and he was wonderful, educated us not only on our wine that gave us a little bit of a history lesson. We did the eight course tasting and it was packed with flavor and style. Each plate was beautifully crafted and so unique. I paired it with the wine tasting, which was top-notch. My favorite course was the A5 Wagyu fillet, it melted in my mouth. You're going to spend $700-900 on a meal for two, which is crazy for a meal. Not a place you can afford every single night but for a special occasion, it's worth it! read more

The decor is gorgeous and there are many superb selections on the menu. I made the mistake of ordering the wine pairing and the tasting menu. Imagine my shock when I got the bill for more than $1,000 for two. I really don't think it justified the sky-high bill. The food was excellent, especially the pork belly, which is what I'd order the next time, and skip the wine pairing. Several of the dishes were marvelous and I do plan to go back. read more

Such an exceptional experience we had on this date, they have a fixed menu and two different options. I added the wine pairing but it kept coming so quick I couldn't finish them all, so I don't think I would do the pairing again but the food was amazing, and so was the service. Such a detail to attention and everyone is ON it. The ambiance was very romantic and contemporary. Would love to come back again. read more

I wish I could give 4.5 stars. Everything was delicious. Truly delicious. This is clearly a fine dining experience and they fit that to a tee with professional staff, synchronized service, and attention to detail. The space is much larger but they were very well organized. We made the mistake of going to Reserve a few nights before and I felt Reserve had better dish execution and more inventive dishes. Every dish was excellent but nothing surprised me like it did across the street. 10/10 would recommend. Just don't go to both restaurants in a week! read more

Over the top; we had a blast! In all ways...ambiance (we had the 4-top in front of the fireplace outside), menu (eclectic; tried things I normally shy away from), wine list (wow, just wow!), food (every bite was amazing; they accommodated my desire for steak and lobster main course), and service (knowledgable about every dish, friendly, attentive, never intrusive), Monarch is superior in all ways to all other restaurants.

Exceptional service. Enjoyed the course tailoring and variety. Atmosphere and decor were very charming

Gorgeous restaurant. Had the a la carte bar menu there. You can either pick each course (don't have to do all 4) or do the 4/8 course options for different price points ($25/25/30/entree pick one and subtract $70 if you do true a la carte; this will make more sense when you see the menu). Bartenders and waitstaff were super friendly and attentive. Restaurant is beautifully lit with candles. Valet parking is free. Food was delicious, had the chicken oyster (which is fried chicken not oyster), Argentinian shrimp, sea bream and sea bass. Could've skipped the sea bream though (I did a 4 course) as I was really full. Cocktails were great. This restaurant is also same owners as the Reserve across the street which is ten courses (no a la carte and no options). Loved the ambiance and recommend if in the area! read more

Food was excellent, as was service and the ambience. I would highly recommend! Went for Mother's Day brunch! Every course was epic!

This is my favorite restaurant and experience in the world. The food here is absolutely magical in presentation and taste. I find it funny people complaining about the price to portion ratio and I can tell you that compared to other fine dinning experiences out there, Cafe Monarch goes above and beyond. I'm not a huge wine enthusiast so I love their cocktails and was a big fan of their original house cocktails but recently tried the Black Widow and it was out of this world!

I celebrated my birthday at Cafe Monarch yesterday and the experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment I walked in, it was all about the little things- the details, the care, the intention. The whole evening felt like I stepped straight into a Bridgerton-style dream... romantic, elegant, and warm in the best way. I went for a solo birthday dinner and as a woman dining alone, I felt completely comfortable and so welcomed. The warmth in this place is unmatched. You can truly tell it's family-owned, the love, kindness, and pride clearly trickle down from the owners to every single person on the team. My server, Zac, was an absolute angel, he made me feel like a Queen. He made sure everything was purrfect and if anything wasn't exactly right, it was immediately fixed with so much grace. He even surprised me with multiple custom birthday cocktail made just for me! That alone made the night feel extra special. Everyone went out of their way to make me feel celebrated, cozy, and cared for. I felt so special the entire night... never rushed, never overlooked, just genuinely appreciated. Cafe Monarch isn't just dinner, it stays with you. I left with a full heart, a happy soul, and already planning my next visit. read more

I visited when Cafe Monarch was having Valentine's Day brunch. The stars that I've given are for the lovely, polite server we had, and his assistant. Firstly, I was extremely disappointed to see a woman in athletic wear, a woman in dirty crocs, and a couple in hoodies and sweat pants. The website makes it clear that there is a dress code, and yet it's not enforced. When entitled people don't respect the rules, it really takes you out of the entire experience. This is supposed to be fine dining, and yet there are people dressed as if they're on their way to grab McDonald's. Sadly, I was not impressed with the food. I ordered the Scottish salmon, and the lobster roll. The salmon taste like any other I've ordered at other restaurants. There really wasn't anything special about it. I suppose there's only so much you can do with Salmon. The side included a creamy rice with mushroom which was lackluster. There really wasn't a whole lot of flavour. Same experience with the lobster roll. Good, but not impressive. I've had better from 'Taste of Maine' at Tucson Farmers markets. That being said, both dishes were good, just not what I expected from such a fancy, highly rated restaurant. My partner had a Wagyu burger. He seemed to enjoy it. I wonder if I should have just gone with the Valentines brunch menu lineup. I regret it. Finally, for dessert, we had the White Chocolate Passion Fruit Mousse. Again, while it was good, it just wasn't that impressive. I've had better desserts from JL Pattisserie. Maybe my expectations were too high for this restaurant. I feel it is extremely over priced for what it is. read more
