We hosted an event in late February for about 75 people. The level of professionalism from Nichole,…read moreculinary sales manager, was second to none. The experience was seamless and stress free throughout, from planning the menu to logistics. We had inclement weather the day of, and last minute accommodations were handled gracefully and efficiently. It is clear that the passion for hospitality flows throughout the entire organization. Lily and Margarita served us that evening and were an absolute joy to interact with. Their presentation was beautiful, food always fresh and they were always present and of service to our guests. The bartender Antonio was also great, kept the energy going all night and kept our guests well "hydrated!"

The food, décor and staffing was all first rate! Every person from the True Flavors staff was always helpful from start to finish with all three of our events. They helped us create the most amazing custom menus, had servers dressed in theme and provided décor that further enhanced our themes. Each of the 200-300 guests at each event, were delighted with the food and service, feeling personally catered to. This resulted in us receiving extremely positive feedback about how fabulous the food and service was. I would highly recommend them for your next catering, big or small. ~ Melissa Aguillon

Rosemary was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we wanted. Jen, our wedding coordinator, was phenomenal! She had an amazing personality and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. She also offered fantastic ideas that helped bring our vision to life. Our friends and family had an amazing time, and everyone had nothing but positive things to say. We chose to do everything in-house, and it was so easy to share my ideas and preferences with the team and watch them come to life -- from the décor to the food, the bar & the cake! If you're debating, stop and book here! We have zero regrets. 10000000/10, highly recommend! Thank you to all the staff who made our day so special! Rosemary, Jen, Padro & Laz! You guys are amazing. I look forward to the next event with you guys!

Warning to Anyone Considering Grand Monarch, DJ Johnny, or Coordinator Andrea…read more As a professional choreographer with years of experience at weddings, Quinceañeras, Sweet 16s, and large-scale productions, I have never experienced the level of unprofessionalism, aggression, and incompetence I witnessed at Grand Monarch with DJ Johnny and event coordinator Andrea. My role was clear: prepare a court of teens, many who had never danced before, and guide them through months of practice leading up to the event. The family specifically hired me for day-of support, which is standard practice. After the family dances, the teens changed outfits. We then went outside for a quick rehearsal and huddle (5 minutes) absolutely necessary because the ballroom was shockingly small, poorly designed, and blocked by pillars. The kids needed formation adjustments before going in front of hundreds of guests. Instead of letting this essential step happen, Johnny and Andrea stormed over, yelling at me and the teens. Not a polite reminder, full-on aggressive shouting, interrupting instruction, and even trying to silence me in front of the kids. The result? The teens were discouraged, anxious, and rattled. Parents were disgusted, watching their kids be yelled at during what should have been a proud, exciting moment. The energy went from positive to toxic in seconds. To make matters worse: 1. DJ Johnny played the music before the kids were even set up. A rookie mistake he has apparently made at other events too. 2. Andrea never provided a real timeline. She contacted me only the day before and handed me a "timeline" the day of. Zero coordination. 3. No apology was ever given, not to me, not to the teens, not to the parents. Professionals handle pressure differently. Here's a couple tips from a real professional to you both: 1. You address the choreographer directly and privately, not scream in front of kids. 2. You consult the client, the person who paid us both. 3. You give a respectful heads-up. You don't scream at children mid-rehearsal. They can try to say, "We were keeping schedule." False. Dozens of professional ways exist to do that without aggression. "We had no choice." Wrong. They could have waited 60 seconds, gone to the client, or spoken to me calmly. They cause more of a distraction and a more delayed event because this altercation. "The choreographer delayed the event." False. A quick run-through is standard and was required due to the venue's design and Andrea's late timeline. "Communication was clear." False. Nothing was provided until the last second and DJ provided no expectations. Grand Monarch should be ashamed to be represented by such toxic, careless staff. Johnny's Neanderthal behavior was aggressive and reckless, especially from some who fancies himself as a JW. Andrea was complicit. For families spending thousands on milestone events: don't risk your once-in-a-lifetime celebration with vendors who yell at kids, screw up music cues, and create chaos instead of memories. This was not just poor service, this was sabotage of an important family moment. Shout out to the kids who pulled it together at the very ends despite feeling anger and frustration for how they were treated.

While the staff may seem friendly at first, the hidden fees and last-minute charges are incredibly distasteful.

We dine at The Argyle with a friend a couple of times a year and have never been overly impressed. This evening was no exception.

The sea bass was soggy and cold, and I could barely eat it. The dress code is very strict: ladies must wear a dress, and men must wear a coat and tie in the main dining room. While this isn't inherently a problem, the service and food quality were lacking this evening. If invited again, we will kindly decline. No phones allowed! Thus, no pictures.
