This is my new favorite place to go when in Dubuque for a meal and drinks. The signature drinks were awesome and the prices were reasonable. The bartenders were able to provide some guidance on what we would enjoy and they were spot on. The dipping sauce for our cheese curds as a side was a heated raspberry jam which was amazingly good.

It's also located inside of an old bank, so we wanted to check this one out. We were seated immediately and received great service. The waitress was new, but already familiar with the menu. She made recommendations and was very attentive. We started with the pretzel and I can't wait for you to see the photo of how huge this thing is! We all three ate some of it, and there was enough for two people left once we were all done. It's massive! For the entree, I had the chicken quesadillas, my husband had the salmon bowl, and my son had the French dip. The food was all very good and if he chooses Dubuque for college, we will definitely be back!

We usually splurge on a special bottle of wine and look forward to it all year. Unfortunately, after ordering, we were told it was unavailable. Disappointed, we selected another option, only to have the bar manager/buyer come to our table a few minutes later to let us know that choice was also unavailable. She apologized and explained they were in the process of changing and downsizing their wine selection while still using the old menu, and she suggested a comparable alternative. Reluctantly, we agreed. While the wine was delicious, it simply didn't compare to our usual. Although we were thoroughly disappointed, the team went above and beyond to make things right and ensure we still had a wonderful dining experience--they even treated us to dessert. Thank you, Michelle, for always being so lovely.

Alas, I only learned of it in time to get a doubleshot of espresso in the morning on our way out of town. Set in an old home in the historic district in downtown Dubuque and right around the corner from the Fenlon Elevator; Monks is the real deal in old school neighborhood vibe. With full coffee and alcohol menu, live events and front porch seating; Monks would surely be a regular spot for me if I lived here, and top of the list whenever I return.
