Monarca is the best restaurant in The Woodlands! This was my third time coming here, but the best…read moreexperience I've had, and the others were already extremely good, but I'll describe this trip. We entered to a friendly staff who sat us immediately. The vibe is very modern with some Mexican influence. We were with another couple and I think they were under the impression that this would be Tex-Mex, but it is not. For drinks I got a Mezcalina, my wife got a normal margarita normally I don't love Mezcal, but was feeling adventurous and this drink did not disappoint, it exploded with flavor and was my favorite drink I have had here. The bar program might be the best of any restaurant in the area, as it should be since they have a speakeasy as well. In my previous trip they brought us complimentary chips and salsa, but the time they brought Mexican hummus and pita. I was initially disappointed, but this was one of the more unique complimentary dishes I have had, and loved it. For starters, we got the TOSTADA CHUTORO, which was a tostada with raw fish and caviar. There were two, and although smaller bites to share, the flavor once again really shined through. I would say this is similar to a ceviche dish with really fresh fish and bright flavors.

Beautiful, chic venue, tucked away in a corner of the shopping strip. I joined a friend for a…read morelunch date on a Thursday. It was rather empty, with perhaps 2 other tables being served. Food was good, but I'm not sure if I could consider anything spectacular enough to justify some of the prices. I decided on the Aguachile Wagyu, which was perfectly cooked and paired with charred herbs. Very enjoyable for a small high-protein meal. My friend ordered Tacos de Filete, which she said were, "okay." We also had a few drinks... They were heavy pours. My only complaint is that the tajin-salt rims were more for decoration (smeared across the side of the glass and not very hygienic) rather than for the palette. Worth mentioning: We were never offered any chips or salsa, although I've read reviews where other patrons enjoyed some before their meal. Our server was friendly, but a bit disconnected.... Maybe that was the biggest problem - - the experience was diminished due to lackluster service.

They have a lot of rotation so not everything stays the same, but there's always a great selection. The owners are first responders and military, and we strongly support that. The service is usually pretty good and I absolutely love love love the manager. She was phenomenal. they usually bring in food trucks or some type of food on site, which is always great even if it's just appetizers. There's also a nice outdoor space and sometimes live music!

Thanks owners for thinking of that small touch that is actually huge for us ladies. I also enjoyed the hand exfoliant and the body butter in the restroom as well. Ok....Moving along to why everyone's here. My guest just had a classic breakfast of eggs, sausage and we added in the lemon cream cheese pancake. I had a sweet tooth and this did the trick. The pancake was soft, fluffy and not an overwhelming sweet from the lemon cream cheese. but enough to cure the craving, All of his food was seasoned well. I had the Chilaquiles and it was so full of flavor. The chicken breast was cooked just right and the addition of corn and abundance of veggies in the dish was a welcoming surprise. It was a very hearty but clean meal. The wait staff was fantastic. Both bartenders (One was from Hawaii- forgot his name) were very welcoming and communicative. The restaurant manager along with owner also came by to greet and check on us. Last but not least, they were celebrating The 4th of July with $2.50 martinis. What a steal!!! I have heard that their happy hour is very decent for the price and the quality that you receive. I said all of that to say, this spot should definitely be on the list for any occasion or time of day.

My Corned Beef Hash hit the spot. The rye bread and potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to the corned beef and, of course, the egg.

We went on a Thursday at 6:15 p.m. It was fairly busy but we were seated immediately. The waitress arrived right away and had our drinks out quick. I ordered my normal Grey Goose martini with blue cheese stuffed olives. The olives were small and were marinated which added a unique twist that I liked. My friend ordered a drink she was raving over, Dazed and Confused. It was lemony and incredibly refreshing. We started with the Foie Gras Meatballs. Delish! It's like a creamy meatball. I ordered one of the specials: Flat Iron steak (MR) with Brussel sprouts. The steak was a little on the rare side but it was still amazing. Lightly charred on the outside with a drizzle of a sauce I couldn't place. We finished with their little trifecta of desserts: Creme Brulé, Key Lime pie and chocolate mousse. It was a perfect finish to an amazing meal. Side note: my friend that recommended this restaurant had dined here 4 times in 2 weeks. She is obsessed! lol

Upon arrival we noticed the live music was held on the outside patio that's shared with some other neighboring restaurants. We approached the hostess and requested to sit outside however she stated there were no open tables. I asked if we could be notified when a table opened and she stated yes. In the meantime we sat in the bar area. A gentleman approached us initially to take our drink order, then he switched with another waitress. The restaurant was really nice with dim lighting that sets the tone for an intimate date night. We ordered a wedge salad, crab cakes, steak, fries, and mac n cheese. Presentation of the food was really nice and overall the food was decent. We anticipated this steakhouse being comparable to a Perry's or Kirby's, however customer service and food quality did not meet the bar as we expected. There were a few tables that opened up outside however the hostess never informed us that we could move to the patio. That was disappointing as we mainly came for the music. But overall it was a decent experience.
