The Monarch is a whole vibe…read more While visiting Jerry World I wanted a place to sit down for a cigar/whiskey. I lucked out and found this place; came there on a Monday night and it wasn't busy at all. Their smoking area was small, but laid out extremely well with leather chairs and a large TV screen. The humidor was also rather small, and several of the cigars were pricier than I've seen. Where this place takes the cake is the ambiance, service and whiskey selection. My hostess, Mary, was extremely attentive and provided good recommendations on the food and beverages. And regarding the whiskey - their selection was massive. Mary recommended a Texas bourban (Unbendt BiB) that was delicious. It was so good that I brought a bottle back to Chicago. Highly recommend this place for a cigar smoker looking for a good meal + cigar in a quiet/intimate environment.

They were not only beautifully crafted but absolutely delicious--each sip had us dreaming of swaying palm trees, ocean breezes, and a Hawaiian getaway. We loved both the Mai Tais and the Beachy Bookkeeper! We decided to share a few appetizers. The Meatballs al Forno was my favorite...packed with flavor and perfect for enjoying with friends over drinks. The Heirloom Tomato Burrata was okay however, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe and were hard and chewy. The Lobster in a Jar was tasty - on the pricey side if you ask me though... One of my favorite things about this spot is the ambiance. The lighting is low (and by low I am flat out dark where you almost can't see your hand in front of your face), creating a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind after a long day. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a date night, or simply looking for a place to escape for a few hours, the vibe here is spot on. The service was fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which only added to the experience. Tiki Tuesday has officially become one of my favorite weekly traditions. Great drinks, delicious appetizers, wonderful service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back next Tuesday for another little island escape. Where's my grass skirt and coconut bra??? Mahalo for a great evening!

Happy Hour Value This review is based on my happy hour…read moreexperiences, and the value is hard to beat. Highlights include: * $10 double cheeseburger with a pickle * $3 East Coast oysters * Half-price drinks, including martinis and wine by the glass Overall, it is an excellent value for a really nice place. Atmosphere and Service The atmosphere and service are impeccable. After more than one visit, the bartenders may recognize you--or at least remember your beverage choices. The Bar Show The best part is the show. The people-watching at the bar is unlike anything else. Happy hour starts at 3:00, but the bar seats are usually full by 2:45. Latecomers often walk in, circle the bar, and leave when they realize there are no seats available. Many guests settle in for the full three hours, which creates its own entertainment. Then come the "watchers," each with a strategy for claiming a seat: * Look for someone nearing the end of a drink. * Watch for guests paying their bill. * Hover nearby, hoping a seat opens up. * Ask someone for a heads-up when they are about to leave. It is surprisingly entertaining, and the occasional bit of staff drama only makes it even better. Bottom Line Either way, it is a great deal for dinner, drinks, and a show, all with amazing service. Show up early--or come prepared with your own strategy.

Our server was amazing--very personable, attentive, and gave us some great recommendations. We started with the dry-rub jerk wings, which were tasty and a generous portion, although I would have loved a little more of that bold jerk seasoning. The deviled eggs were a fantastic appetizer, and the Glazed Bison meatballs were another standout. Now, let's talk about the drinks! They definitely did not disappoint. Let's just say we both left feeling a little tipsy because they were that good! I ordered two mojito, which was refreshing and perfectly balanced. My bestie had the honey, gin, and lemon cocktail, and if you're a fan of tart, citrus-flavored drinks, that's definitely the one to order. Overall, Bottled In Bond Kitchen delivered great food, excellent service, and outstanding cocktails. It's a great spot for a girls' night, date night, or simply enjoying a relaxing meal with friends. I'll definitely be back!

Wish they are more generous.. not even a scoop of ice cream for the birthday girl ? Whoa My girl used to work at Red Lobster as a waitress and she even gave a scoop of ice cream on the house when it's special occasion. We ordered too much food and requested 4 boxes. We received 4 humongous boxes and no bag .. not even a plastic bag, let alone a paper bag. We still tipped 20% although we wish the service was better. Server could improve, she didn't introduce her name or whatever. She didn't say happy birthday to my girl either. If the restaurant is upscale, it needs to reflect better service honestly. Sadly we didn't see the DJ or live music as we were seated all the way at the end. Close to the hostess. Kinda isolated Think food was on a little salty side.

My wife and I came here for a birthday dinner after reading about how Elaine's was listed in the…read moreTop 10 restaurants in Frisco. (Plus several recommendations from friends.) We had reservations but there was no major crowd at 5:30. The place is contemporary, white tiles, brass finishes. Fully stocked bar. Nice big windows. Started with a Rail District cocktail that was really good. Finished with a Last Word which had a strong licorice flavor (not my fav) but the cherry at the bottom was great! We split the SPREADABLE WHIPPED LEMON BASIL GOAT CHEESE. Loved this. But note to the Chef or food prep - the toast crackers had so many holes in the bread, there was NO surface for the spreadable. Pieces of toast were basically outer crust and the inner area of bread had 90% giant holes. It was comical. Whoever plated this should have been more selective. My wife had the Salmon and I had the steak. The steak had a large pad of delicious blue cheese and butter on top of it, that slowly melted over the steak and potatoes. That was special. Endive salad was pretty dry, very little dressing. So I mixed it in with the potatoes and cheese/butter.

Food: the food was good, however the service was another matter…read more My wife and I arrived at approximately 6:30 on Friday 7/24. I say approximately because we live about a 10 minute drive and we left our home about 6:20, but I digress. Upon our arrival we were seated and provided with water and menus. The business was not that crowded at this time and several tables had already been served or had their respective drinks. At 6:40 when we had no additional contact with the wait staff that seated us or any other staff. There were two bartenders and to table wait staff. The bartenders were making drinks while the wait staff appeared to be behind the counter and occasionally seating newer customers. At 6:40 my wife was ready to leave, I told her I would give them to 7:00, at 6:59 our waitress came back to our table, the first time since she sat us. She took our drink order as well as our dinner order. At approximately 7:05 I saw the bartender making our drinks and place them at the end of the bar. During this time I believe that our wait staff was preparing one of our food items while the second wait staff was serving some customers in her are or taking orders. At 7:12 I went to the end of the bar to get our drinks but there was no glass for the wine as the bartender poured it out in a small carafe. So I left them at the bar. Mat 7:15 our waitress came staff got a wind glass and poured the carafe of wine into the glass at the bar and then brought the drinks to us. Approximately 7:25 our meals arrived. Again, the food was good.

A large table in the middle of the bar was filled with children sitting on their iPhones while waiting for a private party to finish in another room. Meanwhile, paying adult customers who had come in to have drinks had nowhere to sit. What was frustrating was that the staff allowed the group to occupy one of the main tables in the bar instead of asking them to wait in the private room where their party was being held. The bar was busy and several groups of adults were left standing while a table of kids took up prime seating. It felt poorly managed and honestly a bit strange to walk into a bar late on a Saturday night and see a table of children taking up space while adult guests were trying to find somewhere to sit. Would not recommend.

I don't usually leave Yelp reviews, but Prism Bar and Grill absolutely earned this one…read more I had one of their burgers and it was cooked perfectly--flame-broiled, juicy, and packed with flavor. My wife ordered the veggie burger with paneer, and even as a meat-eater, I was impressed. The fries? Out of this world. Crispy, seasoned just right, and served hot. But the cheese curds... wow. Hands down the best I've ever had. They've got this spicy, crispy breading and a dipping sauce that takes them to another level. Seriously--Keith Lee would love this place. The drinks were on point, the bartender was super welcoming, and the whole staff--including the owner--made us feel right at home. You can tell they care about the food and the customer experience. We were honestly surprised it wasn't packed. With food this good, a chill sports bar vibe, and TVs everywhere, this place should be way more popular. @Dallas101 should definitely feature it. It's exactly the kind of under-the-radar spot people need to know about. If you're in the area--GO. Whether you want a laid-back lunch, a spot to catch a game, or just some incredible bar food, Prism is a total win. We'll definitely be back.

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to some initial confusion. When we sat down, the bartender mentioned that happy hour was only Monday through Thursday, even though the menu clearly states Monday to Friday. Thankfully, our waitress was more knowledgeable and confirmed it's indeed Monday to Friday. We ordered a Blue Moon, a frozen margarita with Tajín, and the appetizer platter--which included boneless wings with Boom Boom sauce, cheese bites, fries, and onion rings. The wings and onion rings were excellent, and the cheese bites were good while warm. The fries, however, seemed like they may have been refried. We also tried the Mirchi Madness Paneer, which was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great experience. I'd definitely recommend this spot--even just to hang out.
