    Outstanding evening from top to bottom! Our hostess was accommodating giving us several seating options, Jose, our waiter paced our meal perfectly, giving suggestions, created my drink of choice, and was delightful the whole evening. We were in Houston awaiting a cancer diagnosis, while also missing Christmas with our family, and everyone at Monarch gave us a beautiful evening away from the reality of life with cancer. We highly recommend an evening at Monarch!

    The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.
