    Sat by the windows, had an AMAZING Chicken Parmesan dinner. My wife was served perfectly baked chicken broccoli ziti. I highly recommend.

    Lobster leg tacos
    Damien S.

    Rad staff, a solid selection of local beers, and the layout is very, uh, not McGuiggan's (that is the dark and brooding Irish pub counterpart to the light, airy, modern style of the patio). Something for everyone! But the real star here is $2 Taco Tuesday: your choice of short rib, chicken, fish or - this got me - fried lobster leg tacos, for only $2 a pop. And they are huge. No skimping on the short rib; two of them are a complete meal. Swing by on a Tuesday, go short rib, tip well, still leave full and rich.

    Chicken & biscuits

    The clam chowder was 10/10. The chicken and biscuits was def missing the hot honey so that stunk as it was my time trying it.

    Chicken sandwich
    Ollie S.

    I went to this location last night with my 2 daughters. I heard some great things about this location. So I rushed over to get find out for myself. I ordered my go to drink the Bigg Daddy O ( Tito's, peach schnapps and pineapple juice). I grabbed the Patio Sampler Platter. Waited about 25 minutes for the appetizers. The platter came out extremely crispy/well done. I didn't order the platter well done. The sampler was okay, nothing special. Maybe because it's was over cooked. I ordered the Chicken Marsala over pasta this dish was delicious. Great flavor, seasoned chicken and big mushrooms . Nesari - ordered The patio burger well done. (Never order a burger well done anywhere, this is a no no) the burger came out dry and burnt. Leylanie- Fried Chicken Breast Sandwich she said the sandwich was good, needed some seasoning to the chicken breast. The restaurant was clean and has a contemporary type atmosphere. All the windows open up to the street. Nice big TVs for sports games. #patio #patioeating #food #foodie #foodinstgram #chicken #chickenmarsala #burger #titos #pineapple #olliespears #daughterdinner #dinner #whitman #Massachusetts

    Fig and goat cheese flatbread-not good; too sweet and the arugula was bitter
    Caitlin C.

    The ambiance is that of a university cafeteria with high ceilings and an industrial steel look making it difficult to engage in conversation with sound carrying from everyone in the room-it was like being able to hear everything but nothing at all. We were greeted and seated quickly but waited almost 10 minutes before a server came to the table and took our drink order which 2 draft beers took another 7 minutes to arrive. Finally we got our drinks and placed our food order, chicken and biscuits and the fig and goat cheese flatbread. NOT GOOD. The chicken and biscuits were edible but very dry; the flatbread was awful. The menu description said figs but it was a compote, not actual figs, making it sweet on sweet on sweet. Even the flatbread had a sweetness making it impossible to eat a dessert like pizza having tasted like fried dough instead of a savory meal I was anticipating; even the arugula was off-it looked fresh but tasted bitter like dandelion greens. Our server did take the flatbread off the bill but service was lacking and slow; she never came to check on us after someone else brought out the food aside from rushing bye saying "oh good you guys got everything" though it wasn't super busy at 3:30 pm on Saturday. She was very kind and understanding when she did come back to the table to take the plates and again, when we advised the flatbread was terrible, did immediately say she would remove it from the bill and offered something else which I didn't take considering my boyfriend had already finished his meal; perhaps if she had come back when the food was brought, I could have taken the offered clam chowder but not after sitting watching someone else eat and looking at the disappointing dish in front of me. At least Blue Moon was on tap and served with a standard orange garnish. Phantom Gourmet FAIL on this place.

    Short rib tacos
    Laura S.

    I've been coming to the Patio for the last couple years!! I love having a go to bar / restaurant for game days / date nights and even brunch. Taco Tuesdays is one of the favorites and the clam chowder in a bread bowl was toasted and delicious. Not pictured was the cauliflower it's always made to perfection!! The bartenders and wait staff are always very friendly and even if they are busy they make sure to check in on the way by. I always find a reason to head to the Patio and appreciate this local spot.

    Harvest Sangria
    Meghan R.

    Solid 4/5. -1 for quality of ingredients. Good addition to the area, which is sorely lacking in options. The decor is neutral, the exposed brick adding a textual component that gives it a hipper feel than next door. But it is a different type of restaurant after all. Is it for the gourmand? No. But it is a great local place to get a beer, eat a snack, and watch some sports on gigantic screens without resorting to something akin to a dive bar. Recommend the sangria, the charcuterie, the burger, and the chicken and biscuits. More expensive than next door but still reasonable. Jeans are appropriate

    Chicken and biscuits were great.
    Fred J.

    Stopped on a Sunday for beer and the Bruins matinee. Never been to the patio, nice, roomy, airy. Was quiet when I was there, probably because it was a nice sunny day. The beer was cold and refreshing, tried the chicken and biscuits. Very tasty. The bartender was on top of her game and very attentive (she gave the recommendation for the food between a couple of choices, good call. I'll be back.

When we had a waitress I ordered a beer and my wife had a martini we ordered dinner. Everything seemed fine. The food was decent. Nothing memorable. When we flagged down the waitress to order another drink. I said I'll have another beer and my wife another martini. She comes back with my beer and forgets my wife's martini and says oh I'll go have it made right now. I finished my beer before she even came back and we just said forget the martini we are done and leaving. They looked a little shorthanded, so I gave him the courtesy of the doubt. So we went last night with my three brothers and wife's. We had a 5 o'clock reservation. We were sat down promptly and ordered around of drinks. The waitress comes back and didn't even have the right beer for my brother. She got on the wrong kind. No big deal. We ordered dinner and waited and outcomes our dinner but missing one dinner. My wife's chicken masala. she apologize and said she'll go right back and get it. They never made it. They were making it on the fly. Most of us had finished our dinner and my wife's dinner still had not come out so she just said cancel it I don't want it. The waitress was apologetic and said that she'll take the meal off the bill and then making it anyway so she can take it home. She also said that she would give her the drink for free on the house. My wife said she'd take another one and the waitress left and never came back with the drink. By that time we were done we weren't gonna say anymore so we just got up and left. Paid the bill and left. I know this is lengthy, but the restaurant food is mediocre if you order a chicken dish every chicken dish is gonna be chicken tenders, chicken masala, breaded chicken tenders cut up, chicken stirfry breaded chicken tenders, Parmesan chicken tenders are on the menu so they buy frozen chicken tenders and use it every chicken dish. That's not quality. We just won't go back to martinis even though it's nice enough from the outside and inside but the service is poor. The food is mediocre at best. I'll pass and go somewhere else.

We ordered the Zucchini Fries which were amazing! Super crispy and the aioli paired perfectly with the flavors of the fries. I thoroughly enjoyed the Shrimp Alla Busara...a dish that brought me back to when I was small and my uncle would prepare a similar dish. Each ingredient in the delicious sauce shined through in a beautiful way. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and almost had the taste and consistency of lobster. There was a generous slice of crusty bread which I used to sop the sauce at the end. My god it was good. Paired with a great little off the menu but on the menu side salad of fennel, orange and arugula, this was the perfect portioned meal for me. My mom had the small portion of the Vodka Radiatori which was spicy the way she likes. Jessica checked in and gave our compliments to the chef!! For dessert we had the perfectly portioned small Pistachio Cannoli. The filling was exquisite with a hint of orange which elevated the ricotta to a delectable level! This was a STELLAR meal made all the better by our server, Jessica! We arrived on the early side just after they opened so the ambiance was still rather quiet and subdued. By the time we left more tables had filled and the place was really coming to life. Highly highly recommend if you are in search of some very well prepared Italian food. It was obvious the chefs put a lot of love into what they serve! Well done. Complimenti allo cuosco!!

The inside has a really fun upscale lounge vibe with colorful lighting, floral decor, hanging lanterns, and a huge centerpiece tree that makes the whole space feel almost like you are dining in a tropical garden. It feels trendy and lively without being overly loud, which made it a great spot for both dinner and drinks. For drinks, I ordered the mai tai and one of their mocktails. Both were well presented and came in beautiful glasses. The mai tai was refreshing, balanced, and not overly sweet like many places make them. The mocktail was also excellent and felt thoughtfully made rather than just tasting like juice. For food, the short ribs pho was fantastic. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the portion was generous with tender pieces of meat. Definitely one of the better pho presentations I have had in the area. I also ordered the sizzling steak pate with baguette, which came out hot and smelled amazing. The steak was tender and savory, the egg added richness, and pairing everything with the fresh baguette made for a really satisfying dish. Overall Monkey Lounge delivers on both ambiance and food quality. It feels like a hidden gem if you want somewhere with strong date night energy, aesthetic decor, and Vietnamese fusion dishes that actually taste as good as they look. Would absolutely come back again.

Be warned that the place is quite small, so you'll most likely have to wait since they do not take reservations. For a party of two on a Saturday night, our wait was around 40 minutes, and we were eventually seated by the bar. I will say that the seating arrangements could be thought out a little better because we had to play musical chairs quite a few times throughout the night. That aside, the drinks themselves were quite good! You can tell the bartenders are very skilled and passionate about crafting their cocktails. For any Star Wars fans out there, the tiki drinks are served in mugs featuring some of your favorite characters, which was such a fun touch! Overall, the drinks were on the pricier side, but I'd say they were well worth it. Definitely a fun spot to check out!
