    We had a really nice time at this restaurant. The service was fast, the place was clean and the food was good. I tried the wild boar Bolognese which was quite good and the house red wine paired with it quite nicely. Not pictured is the medium rare brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. It was gooey and delicious, a great way to end a meal.

    The food was amazing! Niki was amazing explained everything! She even made me a drink, watermelon mimosa that wasn't on the menu! She truly made the experience so much more enjoyable!

    MY GOODNESS! The food was absolutely delicious. We stopped in for dinner on Sunday around 5:30, not crowded at all. We did indulge in the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu and was not disappointed. Everything we had was literally phenomenal. The wait staff were very kind and gave a great recommendation for a wine, forgot to get the name but it was a Sauvignon Blanc. Just FYI, the restaurant is also BYOB so that was kind of cool. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be back!

    My wife and I chose this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We made reservations online and we were greeted with a smile when we arrived. This is in a mixed use area in the Woodlands. The parking is directly behind the restaurant in a covered a garage, which is super convenient. Since this was our first time at the restaurant I had tons of questions. Jessica our server was super helpful If you love your wines this place is an awesome pick for you. My wife and I don't drink, so we went strictly for the food. Here's what we ate: Calabrese Crisp Shrimp: this was served on a bed of lettuce covered with tasty Chili Aioli For me: Ella's Caesar Salad: it was good, but it could have be better if the salad greens and plate were chilled My wife: Caprese Salad: she thought it was awesome Wild Boar Bolognese: was outstanding! The depth of flavor was exceptional and portion and temperature of the dish was sufficient for two to share. Barramundi Sea Bass for my wife: it was presented well, cooked perfectly, and my wife really enjoyed it Veal and Risotto for me: the presentation was ok, but not exceptional, food temperature was awesome, and flavor of the risotto was over the top. My veal was just ok. I was not impressed with the flavor, and it was not as tender as I expected. My asparagus was tasty once I trimmed the tough unchewable woodsy bottom pieces from it. That should have been done during prep. We had a shake with cookies on a decorated plate for dessert. The shake was very good, but the cookies lacked the depth of flavor I expected. I thought they were somewhat bland. Overall this was a good anniversary experience. We were treated like guest, and cared for from the time we arrived until the time we left.

    So good we went back 3 nights later. Restaurant week menu! Great wine selection, sea bass was THE BEST!. Very attentive service, environment is casual, but everyone is dressed for an evening out

    Great restaurant, the food was delicious and our waiter was great. He suggested the Sea Bass and Wild Boar. My fiancé and I had a great time.

    Tiramisu and frozen after dinner shots to cap off a fun celebration

    Had a fantastic birthday meal with special friends. Wanted to eat light, so we shared Wild Boar Bolognese, Barramundi Sea Bass, and heavenly, Honey Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Started with a Caymus then added a bottle of Juggernaut Sauvignon Blanc. Airy Tiramisu for dessert and a surprise birthday frozen adult treat from our wonderful and attentive server Louis were the final perfect finish to a perfect evening. Have already made plans to come back for the next birthday celebration in April. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

Another beautiful day on the patio with a dish I never saw before - a friend ordered the Gorgonzola wedge salad fabulously coated with generous portions of Gorgonzola cheese and bacon slices broken on top and on sides! It looked delectable ! Very beautifully served either the always tasty and rich lobster bisque with whole claws of lobster inside- not tiny pieces like in most places!! I had my usual veggie filled minestrone soup. The bowl was not the beautiful one I photographed recently, but nice. Terra never ceases to be wonderful. Especially the ambiance on a lovely day.

This was my third time coming here, but the best…read moreexperience I've had, and the others were already extremely good, but I'll describe this trip. We entered to a friendly staff who sat us immediately. The vibe is very modern with some Mexican influence. We were with another couple and I think they were under the impression that this would be Tex-Mex, but it is not. For drinks I got a Mezcalina, my wife got a normal margarita normally I don't love Mezcal, but was feeling adventurous and this drink did not disappoint, it exploded with flavor and was my favorite drink I have had here. The bar program might be the best of any restaurant in the area, as it should be since they have a speakeasy as well. In my previous trip they brought us complimentary chips and salsa, but the time they brought Mexican hummus and pita. I was initially disappointed, but this was one of the more unique complimentary dishes I have had, and loved it. For starters, we got the TOSTADA CHUTORO, which was a tostada with raw fish and caviar. There were two, and although smaller bites to share, the flavor once again really shined through. I would say this is similar to a ceviche dish with really fresh fish and bright flavors.

    I really enjoyed my visit to Monarca. My friend and I were there for happy hour. The happy hour…read moredrinks and apps were amazing! We really enjoyed their Royal Margaritas, Tostada de ceviche blanco and Aguachile negro appetizers. Our entrees were also delicious. My Pollo asado was so tender, juicy and full of wonderful flavors.
