Review of Monarch -Kitchen & Bar

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.
