As we had family visiting with 6 of us it was hard to pick a restaurant, everyone wants different food blah blah blah. We finally settled on this place since everyone liked the menu. The food was amazing, I also love the decor inside. We ate here when it was Benny's but I like it better now. My son also ate all his food which is always the best thing ever. Family visiting were also very happy carvel was down the road too :P I mean to us it's something we can get anytime but to them it's like wow carvel! This was the perfect place to come out for a family outing, we did good. Reasonable prices too. read more

At first glance this place was spotless, the host was extremely friendly and we got seated right away. The server came over and gave us by far one of the most amazing customer service experience. The food was great and I highly recommend the Challah french toast. They also have a great brunch menu with bottomless mimosas specials. All in all this place is definitely a must try and a spot I cant wait to visit again. I would highly recommend. read more

Food was great service was great we had a great time 5 stars yelp sucks. What do you need 85 characters for I said what I wanted to say is that enough now? read more

The ambiance was interesting to say the least. The food was good but the brunch menu was very limited. The vegetables look like they come from a frozen bag... I would like to see more variety and try their dinner menu to give a better review. read more

My husband and I came here early on a Saturday evening. We parked in the back lot. There's no door in the back to enter, you must use the front door. There's street parking as well. We were greeted by Daniela, who was friendly and upbeat. In fact, the whole staff is friendly and upbeat, especially Rosa and Shawn. You can immediately tell they love their jobs. We started out with a dirty martini. Shawn makes an excellent one. My husband ordered the prime rib, which is a Saturday night special, and he totally enjoyed it. It was cooked to perfection and the seasonings were perfect. The baked potato was huge! I love meatloaf, and so I ordered it. I was so surprised when it came out served in a bowl! But then realized it made sense. The bottom of the bowl was covered in delicious, perfectly cooked mashed potatoes. On top sat a nice portion of meatloaf smothered in brown gravy and sprinkled with peas! Yum! The meatloaf itself was moist, and the seasonings they use are perfectly balanced. The brown gravy was smooth and delicious, not too thick and not too thin. I loved the peas. When I make meatloaf at home, I always serve it with mashed potatoes and peas! I hate to admit it, but theirs is better than mine. We finished with the chocolate vanilla cake, housemade. It's actually a vanilla cake with a hard chocolate topping and oozey, gooey, chocolate over that. Really good; a must try. If you love lemoncello, try theirs. It is homemade at the owners' residences. I can't wait to go back! read more

Visited on a Saturday night with a group of friends. FOOD WAS SO GOOD. Wife, friends, and I absolutely loved our meals. Atmosphere was really cool. Appetizers were killer. Entrees we're banging. Service was great. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Monroe’s Restaurant - Norma Jean and Foxy - American Near Me - Westbury, New York

Their parking lots is not very large but don't let that influence your decision on staying. The service is amazing since they are always available to satisfy your needs. The food was very good from appetizers to the entrees. No complaints from a party of 8 read more

Has a large number of tables with a separate room. Has parking in rear for a few cars (8? ) but nearby meter parking lot. It was empty when we went for brunch on a Saturday, only two other tables occupied. The food was good and they make food accommodations. I hate cinnamon so my Nutella stuffed French toast was made to order, sorry ate it before a photo was taken. The challah wasn't thick but thin like a piece of toast in the other photo and had lots of Nutella. For some reason no bananas on the French toast and didn't notice until we finished. The hollandaise said it had Madeira but no sign or taste of it here but it was still good. The entrance has two steps so not really handicap accessible. Might stop by for dinner sometime. read more

Another great meal at Monroe's. Food was again excellent. Caponata served with the bread basket was great . Every time we eat here there is always something new to try. Keep up the good work Joe and David always a pleasure read more

Eh. Food was ok but the service was horrible. I made a reservation and when we got there they seated us at a table behind the side wall where they kept the extra chairs. On top of that it took forever to get water and put in our orders. We spilled water and had to wait 10-15 minutes just to get napkins. Again, the food was ok, nothing spectacular. Service was torture. read more

The food was excellent and the service even better. You can tell they really appreciate their customers. I will definitely be returning!

One of my new restaurants in my regular rotation. Delicious food served in an elegant environment by attentive, caring and interactive wait staff. Impeccably clean, with a fun, very attractive, witty and flirty bartender. The owners put together a great concept, borrowing successful menu items from their sister restaurant, Tesoros. I was not disappointed in the three meals I had in the past month! Oléh D. read more

In town from Michigan for a wedding and needed a local place to grab dinner. 10/10 recommend Monroe's. The staff were very friendly and you could tell this restaurant is loved by the locals. The food and drinks were fantastic. The waiter David knew the long list of specials in great detail. We will remember this place for our next trip in the area. read more

We stopped here on the way home based on a strong yelp review. It did not disappoint! While the food was delicious, it was the interaction with Frank that will make us return ( and we live two hours away)! He was hysterical, but also attentive and thoughtful. We had a great meal and a great time. read more

Food The restaurant is called Monroe's restaurant. The food was really good. I recommend the pork chop the most because the flavor of the food was really great. And the pork chop was perfectly cooked. I also like the Caesar salad, which was good but not the best. I really liked the penne. Service The service was unbelievable. I rate it a 10/10. Our server, David, was very nice and checked on us repeatedly. He took full ownership of the experience and went out of his way to ensure we had a great meal. I cannot think we have had a better service experience in the last five years! read more

I took a friend there for dinner... We were treated like family!!! The owner Joe is extremely personable and very accommodating. The waiter Frank addressed us by our names and made sure EVERYTHING was perfect!! Did I mention the food was to die for...I had the glazed salmon dish... absolutely amazing!! The restaurant is clean and well laid out. Just overall great!! read more

My brother passed this place regularly and suggested it for a birthday dinner we had tonight. The birthday girl was craving clams, mussels and steak. We were pleasantly surprised. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! For appetizers we got clams oreganato, clams casino, mussels, buratta salad, and a sampler. The clams were spot on and the sauce was perfect for dipping the bread (same for the mussels sauce). Buratta was fresh with just the right amount of balsamic drizzle. I did not try the sampler but everyone wnjoyed the wings. Most everyone had steak for dinner (comes with mashed potatoes and a side of vegetables). I had the meatloaf. No complaints with the entrees. We we're doing hungry and the food was so good I forgot to take pictures. Next time I'll remember to get at least a shot of the clams read more

We ordered our appetizers and entrees. After 35 minutes I had to ask where our appetizers were. 10 minutes later, our lukewarm entrees cam out followed by our lukewarm appetizers. The waiter said the kitchen was backed up but they were only half full. Food was just so-so. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Expensive but terrible. The interior is also very dated. read more

I've lived in Westbury all my life and have driven by this place ( Formerly Benny's) 100x and never been until tonight . We decided to come here for my Mom's 75th birthday . I can't say enough about the entire experience . Daniella is absolutely a pleasure , the food was delicious ( French onion soup , skirt steak , Caesar salad and Mac n cheese with Buffalo chicken on top) the White Sangria was yummy and had a bit of a kick ! Gerardo our sever was attentive and so kind. The decor with Marilyn Monroe theme is very unique especially on Long Island. Typically you see more artsy/ themed type restaurants in the city ! My Mom had such a beautiful birthday and Monroe's was a huge reason why. I can't wake to brag to friends and go back soon , maybe for Brunch ! I feel like Monroe's is a hidden gem in the village of Westbury ! Go ... you won't regret it ! read more

Came her two times so far and have no complaints about the food or service . Our first visit was just my wife and I for dinner. We heard about this place through the grape vine and wanted to check this place out and all the hype about it. We started with the calamari which was fresh and was breaded just the perfect amount. The marinara sauce that came with it was AMAZING. I had the Monroe burger which was delicious. The fired burrata cheese brings it to a whole another level. My wife got the veggie burger and she had no complaints at all. The service was good and friendly. Our second visit, we went with a group of 7 and had a amazing time. We started with the fried calamari and spinach and artichoke dip. Both were great. I got the French dip sandwich and my wife got the potato crusted salmon and they were both delicious. I preferred the Monroe's burger more but still was a great sandwich. The rest in our group got the marinated skirt steak, Monroe burger and the sliced steak sandwich and they loved it. The service was great and the owner/manager Joe was very welcoming. I would recommend anyone in the area to eat here. read more

Bottomless Saturday Brunch! Will def need to come back with my girls. Came for a lunch date & loved the food Burrata Salad A+ : it's on the lighter side so don't only order this if you're starving. My hubby and I split this a sandwich. Steak Sandwhich A+. Delicious caramelized onions. Red Sangria - B - It was nice. Had blueberries The dessert menu was uninspiring so we skipped it, but they got the usual goods. We parked on the street, but you don't have to pay on Saturdays. read more

Excited to find this new & "tastefully" renovated restaurant. Formerly Benny's I think, the food was great and there is a plentiful selection of menu and wine choices. We got wings and taco apps and fried chicken sandwich as well as a kid's menu sliders. Everything was great including the service which was top notch. Nice twist of cornbread instead of traditional bread served. Marilyn Monroe is theme and the holiday decor is very nice. Very spacious dining area and a bar area each with hUge TVs showing sports. Whether you want brunch/lunch or dinner this menu delivers! Well done and will recommend and be back! read more

Service was great but food was VERY underwhelming. At least 3 events going on. Place was very noisy. Would not go back.

The waiter Francois is awesome. Great recommendation and great food. Great place for a party. Recommending my crew to have a great time

Just ate an amazing dinner at Monroe's. The place was surprisingly empty , which made no sense whatsoever!! The service was attentive and fast! Atmosphere was pleasant and friendly. We started with several apps, such as risotto balls, clams orgeganata , and buratta. All were absolutely amazing!! Some of us had wine and some had mixed drinks which were tasty! We had meals such as veal scallopini which was the best tasting veal ( as per my daughter ) she's had in ages. I had the beet salad and could not stop eating it until my plate was clean. I cannot speak for everyone that was at our table ( there were 8 of us) but I can say this , with the exception of one , everyone absolutely loved their food. This place is a hidden gem. If I lived in the area I would be there once a week. Next time I'm in the area I am definitely coming back. Five stars without a doubt ! Keep it up guys!! Your restaurant is amazing!!! Thank you Joey!!! read more
