I had a date here on the 18th of Dec and Taryn, “a beautiful soul inside and out” was our server. She made the night more perfect by being super sweet. I told her she looked like a good friend of mine 😉. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. The atmosphere is relaxed and elegant. Tell Taryn I say hello and stay sweet, it looks good on her. We will definitely be back soon.

Daniella was our server this evening and she was so kind! We had the steak and frites, and the filet with crab. Both were absolutely incredible. We ordered the salted caramel cheesecake, and our server brought us the sticky toffee pudding on the house. Absolutely amazing and highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding for dessert!!! Thank you Daniella for making our dinner extra special!

Absolutely love coming here for a first time experience, (my bday) Catie was exceptional! She was very helpful and gave her honest opinion on the menu! I ended up with a perfect steak and awesome drinks with my best friend! They also treated me with a lovely birthday dessert! I definitely will come back again, especially because she was so helpful If I could, I would give 10 out of 10 stars

Pan Roasted Northern Walley at Monarch. If one happens to be considering what to get whilst sitting in a booth at Monarch, try the walleye. I don't post much about food (text or pics), but I just had a delightful meal along with excellent service at Monarch. The walleye was fresh and sweet against a not-too-cajun-but-just-right bed of sausage and rice. The flavors merge perfectly. Our server, Jess, was exactly the kind of person who makes going out to eat a pleasure—warm sense of humor, completely professional, and perfectly paced service from start to finish. Also, my pre-dinner Manhattan hit the spot. All in all, all the boxes of a great night out were checked.

Our first time at Monarch around 530 pm and didn't disappoint. We sat inside because we were worried about bugs but the outside seating looked inviting. We were sat where we wanted after initially trying a booth.
The bread service with salted butter was very good. It did cost though. We split a broccoli and Gouda cheese soup which was delicious. My wife got the Salmon and the bolonese spaghetti with Serrano peppers was awesome.
The service was top notch never having to wait long. And they serve Boulevard Tank 7.

Trendy decor and vibe. Lots of tables, but still recommend making a reservation. I was pleasantly surprised with the lobster roll. Lettuce wraps and Kimchi fries were pretty tasty apps. The paella was too heavy on the tomato sauce and didn’t have a lot of the seafood listed in the ingredients. Food came out really quick. Our server was excellent - super friendly and came by to check on us frequently.

The food at this restaurant in the Quad Cities was excellent. My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our steaks, which were tender and cooked to perfection, accompanied by a delicious sauce.

Steak was ordered Med rare+ with a char. Absolute perfection. Impeccable service. Incredible dining experience. Also had the rock shrimp appetizer; so tasty I wanted to lick the plate(I resisted).
The brownie got devoured almost too quickly for me to get a picture.

My husband and I have frequented the Monarch as one of our favorite date night spots in the Quad Cities. I am typically not one to write a review, but I feel I can no longer keep my thoughts about this restaurant private. My husband and I adhere to specific religious diet requirements where we avoid both pork and alcohol, as well as a personal preference to avoid gluten. The servers continue to go above and beyond, often mentioning that certain items have alcohol/pork before we even mention anything. They have fried food in separate fryers for us as well. The servers who have been around for a while are classy, respectful and above all else well versed in their delicious rotating menu. Tonight, however, we felt especially cared for by our server Jess. We had not met her before, but she recognized that we were fasting for religious purposes and was kind enough to bring the MOST delicious sticky date dessert to our table. “Ramadan Mubarak” (Happy Ramadan) was beautifully written on the plate. Consistent, attentive and meticulous. You have us wrapped around your finger!

The food and service here were simply perfect!! We were checked on by multiple folks and the teamwork of the staff stood out to me - food is served hot, plates removed when appropriate, drinks freshened up and brought to table in no time! In the photos you’ll see the salmon which was heavenly, the walleye which was equally good, and lastly the sticky date pudding topped with vanilla bourbon butterscotch which was the best way to end our meal. I’m so excited to have a go-to place in the QC.
