Monarch - Karlin

Well it isn't the excellent cheese and ham wine bar it used to be that is for sure. This is a proper steakhouse with a serious and I mean serious wine list and prices to match although there were more than a few good finds. The dry aged ribeye was exceptional as was the wine. Service top notch. Highly recommended

The interieur is nice but that is about it. I ate steaks in Vienna, Florence, Düsseldorf, New York, London and many other cities. What you get here is mediocre at best.

This was either down … – zobrazit

The food we got was very good, but we ordered three things off the menu that they later found out they didn't have, so we had to change it. The waiters were hard to get in contact with, and they also forgot to bring two things we ordered (the wine and a sauce). Also, even though the food was absolutely great, it was rather pricey for what you got, and most of the beef is shipped in from America and not local. Even though the food was good, I'd not visit again because of the prices and service, a … – zobrazit
