    We took our daughter here for her 21st birthday and she was more than impressed. They went above and beyond in showing that her special night was important. Everyone said Happy Birthday, the singer had a special conversation with her, and then we were “VIP’d” to the speakeasy next door for a night cap. The Monarque is absolutely amazing. The food, service, and atmosphere are top notch! Thank you!

    I have been dining at Cafe Normandie since I was a midshipman (an early female) at the Naval Academy. I now live in Annapolis and this is one of my truly favorites. Do not miss the escargot !

    We came for brunch to catch up with a friend from out of town and Marie Louise Bistro was the perfect spot for the occasion. The service was friendly and attentive in all the right ways. Our meal was delicious. The entire experience positive. We are thankful for the opportunity to be together over such a wonderful meal.
