    Margarita
    Lynn D.

    I usually stop here for drinks while awaiting reservations at dirty taco down the block but there have been a few times where the waiting was too long that I ended up eating here & I was not at all disappointed! Their French onion soup is amazing & make a great Margarita. Definitely a solid choice if you're in Rockville center

    Jumbo wings with BBQ
    Larry L.

    Sat at the bar and had wings and a Goat Cheese Salad with chicken. Both came out well prepared and tasted very good. A little hint of heat on the BBQ wings (just right) and the salad had a nice preparation to it.

    Stuffed sole
    John O.

    Great bartender! friendly and on point. Ice menu with lots of options. Good beer selection and of course a good Guinness pour! Fresh food Stuffed sole was awesome

    64 degrees terrible in late September it was freezing.

    The food is great ! But honestly the service was terrible and it is September and it is cold out and the AC was blaring at 64 degrees and when we asked if they could lower it we were told no they cannot. Eating was super uncomfortable!

    First time there. Sat at the bar. Nice laid back atmosphere. The bartender, John was great. Poured some beautful pints and engaged in some friendly conversation. Burgers and steak tid bits were excellent. Will be back again soon!!!

    If I could give Monaghan's a 100 stars I would!! Niall, Kathleen and their entire staff were amazing! The staff went above and beyond my expectations! My engagement party was everything I dreamed of and more! The food was delicious, the restaurant's atmosphere made the party complete. All of my guest had such a great time and it is all thanks to Monaghan's! Go raibh maith agat!!

Food is solid Jamaican fare. Oxtails are meaty and tender. With traditional rice and Peas, which could've used a likkle more love, as the rice was overcooked and not many peas. With gravy, almost mush but seasoned good tho. Appreciated the Steamed carrots. Needed more. Also, only came with 1 small broccoli stem. Plate was majority rice. Jerk Chicken is heavily browned, seasoned well but baked not grilled. If it is grilled, its a gas grill & no Pimento leaves, while also being buried in tons of sauce. Carrot cake was delicious. Light and not overly sweet. Golden raisins give a nice touch! Frosting is decadent but not cloying. Honestly, would give a 3.8 vs solid 4 but Service was exceptional and efficient. Overall, would definitely revisit. More for an intimate dining experience vs. large group.

There's bar seating, high tables and reg seating. Will say chairs are a bit small maybe so you don't overstay lol. Our food took a while which means they were cooking it. Oxtails soft and nice. Salmon nicely seasoned. A drizzle of Pepper sauce kicked it up a notch. Nice spot for date night; girls day, families

    Attended a group dinner here and definitely did my background check beforehand to make sure I…read moreordered something I'd truly enjoy. The French dip seemed to be the most popular item, but with a larger group, I wasn't confident it would arrive at its peak, so I decided to go a different route. I ended up ordering the blackened scallops with vegetables, and wow this dish was excellent. The Cajun seasoning was bold and flavorful, while the scallops themselves were buttery, delicate, and expertly cooked. My only small critique is that the foot (that small side muscle on sea scallops) wasn't removed. It didn't detract much from the dish, but it's always a nice touch when that's done for you. My partner ordered a salad topped with Cajun salmon, and it was phenomenal. The true standout was the salmon, cooked to a perfect medium: juicy, flavorful, and served in a generous portion. Major kudos to the kitchen for executing both dishes so well. Several others in our group ordered the French dip, and seeing those plates only confirmed that I was happy I trusted my instincts. Maybe I'll try it during a quieter lunch service someday, but it's going to be hard to pass up the scallops and salmon.

Roast beef was good, the roll tasted like it was store bought the day before and the au jus was a little on the bland side. French onion soup was just okay. I tasted a few bites of an eggs Benedict that someone else in my party ordered and that was very average as well. Home fries were a little dry and the hollandaise sauce was missing that "pop" I was looking for. The steak tidbits (which was sliced London broil) was alright but again, the hero bread it was served on tasted like it came out of a plastic bag from the grocery store and was possibly a day old (or more). The ambience of the restaurant was pretty cool and it had a rustic vibe to it. We had 2 waitresses and they were both very pleasant and attentive with drink refills and making sure we were taken care of. Overall, I left there somewhat underwhelmed. My 3 star rating is for the entire dining experience and if it wasn't for the really good service we received, I would rate them a little lower.
