Reviews for The Monarch in Aspen, CO
Way too expensive for the food, uncomfortable cramped seating and a strange atmosphere make the dining experience sub-par for a... supposedly fancy restaurant. All the steaks come with just salt pepper and garlic, sauces and toppings are extra and meant to beshared with the table. Sides are small for the price and also supposedly meant to be shared. The taste is good if you like tonsof garlic in everything. On top of that, the staff was a bit rude. Go elsewhere for a better fine dining experience. Read more
Absolutely incredible service from Sarah, helping us navigate some complicated allergies. She was so detail oriented that my... friend felt perfectly safe eating here, a rare treat. Thank you so much! Read more
This was a wonderful dining experience. From the moment you are greeted when you walk in to the moment you leave, the service is... amazing! We sat at the bar and had a great time and great conversation. The food was excellent!!! I recommend the half chickenand the monarch salad, and don't skip out on the steak skewers. You are also in for a treat if you order any of the cocktails onthe menu. Each cocktail is hand crafted to perfection. Read more
The atmosphere, food and quality customer service were phenomenal. This is a fine dining restaurant and we ordered the Monarch... Rockefeller, 32 oz Tomahawk Rib Eye (for 2) with Fingerling Smashed potato with Béarnaise sauce and finished with dessert ofsticky toffee pudding. We also enjoyed the Burning Man and Black Buffalo Manhattans. Our reservation was at 8 pm (it was aThursday) and we got seated and greeted quickly and drinks arrived fast too. I was a little surprised at how long it took forour starter to and our meal to arrive but overall it was a lovely experience. Read more
The Caesar Salad here is amazing and I’m not even really a sale person. By far the best salad I’ve ever had in my life. The... bison steak is really good too. Read more
My wife and I occasionally visit Aspen from the Vail Valley for memorable meals. This was a late celebration of our anniversary.... I found The Monarch to be a wonderfully intimate, high end steakhouse, with outstanding service. the staff were all friendly andattentive. I ordered the cowboy ribeye, which was cooked to perfection. My only reason for four stars- I had the Stilton bleucheese topper on my steak, which really overpowered the steak. Once I removed part of the large handful of cheese, the steak andcheese married beautifully. Pricey, but worth it! Read more
The food, service, and ambience were all fantastic. The services provided by the professional management and staff are the main... reasons that we keep coming back. The old world elegance is a rare thing, and we value their focus to make sure thateverything about the dining experience is excellent. I highly recomend this restaurant. The Cesar salad must not be missed! Read more
That garlic clove that came with steak was the most delicious I’ve ever had. ???? And if you want to convert someone into... whatever, their Cowboy ribeye (had it medium-rare), should be in your ammunition! Read more
