Monarch -Kitchen & Bar

I went here based on other recommendations in the app while here visiting my boyfriend's family. It was a cute environment with fire places. There seemed to be options for gluten-free. It's pricey for what you get. My boyfriend had a burger and said it was alright. I got the "Damn Good Bowl of Noodles" and some fries. The fries were in a big bowl, narrow like shoe string chips, and a little salty. It did make me smile when the ketchup was brought out in a cup on a tray by itself. I thought the noodles were going to be more like pad Thai, but it was soup. It wasn't my favorite with a runny yolk egg in it either. It was alright, but I wouldn't rush back again.

Couldn’t be happier with this restaurant experience! To have a restaurant this gluten conscious is refreshing!!! Everything is clearly marked and they take extra steps to keep things allergen free!

Excellent selection. Most dishes are GF and if there is a dish you’re interested in, they will talk you through how to make it gluten-free. Fun atmosphere.

Food was excellent! Ordered the orange chicken, it is in a seperate fryer and it battered in Bob Reds Mill and Tapioca flour, they said! It was super good and I felt good after! Also, I got a side of fries and they were super good but the side of fries is huge!! No problem with that, but definitely to be shared! Overall though, the interior design of the restaurant was beautiful and it is a little more formal/fancier setting but the prices of the food aren’t terrible! Looking forward to going back and trying more!

Been there twice and ordered the salmon both times. I have had no issues at all. A friend supplies the gourmet mushrooms there and says that they are very careful in the kitchen, where cross contam is an issue.

So the best part of Monarch is the dedicated fryer and their awesome French fries. The BLT is also delicious. Really nice place to go and their lunch prices are very reasonable

One of my favorites! The chef/owners wife has an anaphylactic wheat allergy so they are very careful. The rock shrimp (fried-gf batter and gf fryer) is by far my favorite!!

We had a great experience. Our daughter has Celiac and the staff were very knowledgeable about cross contamination and how to keep her safe. There was a wide variety of menu items she could choose from and she was very happy with her food. All of our family of 6 had a delicious and wonderful meal.

Beautiful restaurant. Food was sooooo salty though. I hope they take care of that because it’s very expensive but would be worth it if the food wasn’t so salty. Good gluten free options!

90% of menu is Gf and well marked. Upscale and accommodating with menu alternatives. This is definitely a place to celebrate. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here.

We order two burgers and the spicy Thai chicken lettuce wraps. There was no charge for “upgrading” to the gluten free burger bun (lettuce wrap was also available). The food was not marked as gluten free, but the receipt/order ticket was marked as “gluten allergy”. The owner’s wife has celiac (or some sort of association) and you can tel the menu is setup to prevent cross contamination. They don’t offer GF pasta (would probably be too hard to keep safe), and all of the fried items are gluten free (mostly fries and then a tempura batter for shrimp and sometimes fish). Was about $50 for two burgers and appetizer. Food tasted great, was fresh, and am excited to try some of their bigger dinner options in the future.
