Restaurants near Monarch Park

We loved our experience at Clio today! I came with my family who can be quite picky about restaurants and ambience and service. They’re hard people to go out with but they LOVED Clio. First of all, our server Tanner was a gem. He had very good recommendations and anticipated our needs before we even knew them. Tanner was so kind and even introduced us to the table next to us which was so sweet and cute. My sister is in love with him now— I’m sure he gets that often! The food was so delicious. Plate sizes felt small but we ordered a couple to share and that’s the way to do it I believe!! We had a mostly vegetarian meal with the four dips, 2 roasted veggie plates, the Clio salad (with an added chicken kebab— very yummy, marinated in yogurt so juicy and not dry at all!), the crispy potatoes, and the beet plates!! I recommend all of it. We didn’t even miss the meat! The tea and coffee were a lovely addition as well as the fig ice cream and toffee pudding. I want that served at my wedding and funeral. The restaurant itself has a really cute and cozy, light and airy, elevated hipster-esque breath of fresh air. Cannot reiterate how much we loved our server Tanner! Each plate is about $20.

We have been to Talus a few times. We live about 40 miles away so it’s a bit of a drive. But we were celebrating my birthday with our best friends and I chose Talus because it is always good and we were able to make a reservation. We were seated right away in a booth which was perfect as our friend Dave will be having a hip surgery soon and the booths are more comfortable. Our server, Angela, came over right away with waters and to take our drink order and explain the Valentines menu. She made our experience that much better. I had the cod which was cooked to perfection and super flaky. The potatoes served with it were excellent and the vegetable medley was delicious . Our friend Marilyn had the seafood risotto which was delicious and creamy and a very generous portion. The guys had the salmon and both said it was some of the best they have had. The Valentines special drinks were very good especially the raspberry which was so creamy and delicious. Worth the drive and we will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful dinner! We chose the Cupid’s Menu for Valentine’s Day and it was delicious. The chef and staff were able to accommodate all our requests and the food was truly amazing!!! We will be back very soon!

We had sushi an app and some traditional items on the menu. It was phenomenal and the prices were fantastic

Overall it was a great dinner experience. The food was great and the service was outstanding!
