The Monarch Room

Great drinks!

Good food but nothing spectacular or particularly memorable -- very New York, meatpacking type of place (swanky, large, expensive). Main issue was the service, which while friendly, was exceedingly slow and confused for no apparent reason (it wasn't especially busy or anything). They poured our wine before our cocktails came out, and then we waited probably 40 minutes or so between appetizer and entree -- by which time everyone had finished the wine too.

Too loud. Food was OK but not wildly exciting (a far-too-oniony salad followed by some tagliatelle which was fine, I suppose). Decor didn't particularly do it for me. The best bit was probably the cocktail - a Negroni with sea salt in it.

Awesome atmosphere and great food - trendy scene.

Cheesy vibe and mediocre food. NY has too many amazing places so don't waste your time and energy

Beautiful space, delicious bread, interesting vegetarian options, excellent cocktails.

a bit too loud to have a decent conversation, and a bit meat heavy, but otherwise a pretty lovely space.

Visited with a large group for dinner after work. Similar to other places in the meatpacking with industrial decor, well dressed clientele, and a fancy meat and seafood menu.The food was good, not great and it was nice that we didn't feel rushed in our meal or after. On the other hand, it would have been nice not to wait an hour between courses.Unrelated trivia from my visit: had a celebrity sighting! I'm pretty sure Flash Gordon (Sam Jones) was a few tables away.

The food and cocktails were great. They have a wide selection of cold seafood and ceviches. The big downside is that the service was rather slow. It is in the meatpacking district, so the scene is rather trendy.

Best food! The bread is pull apart with cheese on top. Hamachi is a must try, as is everything from the raw bar and also the fried mushroom app!
