Waitress was amazing. It was my birthday dinner with a friend. Excellent service and ambiance. We had a quiet booth in the back and could also hear the live band playing.

Always a great time at the Monkey! You absolutely have to try the Bloody Mary’s and their sweet potato hash at brunch!

We were a large group and when we originally arrived at the restaurant, they had set our table up in the bar area, which I had specifically requested not to do when I made the reservation. Even on a very busy night, the restaurant was quickly able to adjust and seat us in the dining area. The waitress was great, and the owner himself made a point of stopping by and speaking with us and even sent us a complementary order of nachos. Overall, the restaurant went out of their way to make this a great experience for everyone attending.

My first time was almost a complete disappointment. First, we had to wait for someone to greet us even though we made our presence known. Once seated we had to wait again for menus. We were completely ignored by the wait staff. We finally flagged someone down. My chowder arrived without a spoon. Once spoon arrived I asked server to remain while I tested the chowder's temperature. As suspected it was barely luke warm. Another chowder arrived hot. Tasted good, but not the best I've had. Large portion of fish and chips. Fish was good. Fries could have been crispier for my taste. Took half my meal home. Will airfry it tomorrow for lunch. Meal came with piece of cheesecake. Took that home too. I will give them another try someday. Service was horrible. Waitress we had could use some training on how to treat guests. She was terrible.
