Another wonderful evening at Christopher’s. Always excited to see what he has on the menu, the view can’t be beat. So nice to be in a restaurant that isn’t wall to wall people. It makes for an exceptional evening. The last time I was there with a friend he stopped by the table which we loved. Tonight was there with family and they didn’t get a chance to meet him but they felt it was a very special and the best place we have dined at in Phoenix area.

Dining at Cafe Monarch is similar to enjoying a wonderful performance. It reminds me of restaurants in Europe, where the waitstaff take their career seriously and see you, as the dining guest, as special, not just a number to be herded through as quickly as possible. During our 3 hour dining experience, we enjoyed the 8 course menu, which was excellent. My companion had the vegetarian, while I had the standard menu. Both were excellent with us truly enjoying 7/8 dishes. The waitstaff are extremely attentive but not disruptive and make the whole experience enjoyable. While it is very expensive for 8 small courses, we both left satisfied. Given that it was a 3 hour experience, I would consider it more than just "dinner" and just that, an experience. I will return again
