Delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere, its a spot I plan to return to. The restaurant is located in the downtown area, inside the hotel Deco. This was my initial visit and I'm hoping that the food is consistent in the future, because if it is, it will be one of my favorite spots in Omaha. As well, I do hope that the service is friendlier in the future. It was professional, but a bit cold which was a little uninviting (from our server). The hostess and everyone else was very warm however. Blistered shisito peppers 5 stars This is the best shisito dish I've had in Omaha so far. Often they are flavored with an Asian sauce, but the chef let's these peppers shine on their own. Herb marinated Olives 5 stars Remiscent of my visit to Chicago when I was staying on the Fairmont gold floor. Wagyu steak and frites 5 star The sauce was so good on this. The flavor was subtle but I couldn't get enough. It was exceptionally tender. Pork shank 4.5 star Technically it could be a 5 star, my best friend certainly thought so. The outside was a bit over cooked but the inside closer to the bone was perfect. It might be an issue with the size which is absolutely massive. If you're hungry I'd recommend this. Lemon tart 4.5 stars A bit too sweet for me, but still an excellent dessert. The crust is stiff like a cookie so it took a bit too break. Creme brulee 5 star One of the best versions I've had. The sugar on top was a bit thick, I would have preferred a thinner crust, but the perfect consistency of the custard won me over. Parking is metered street parking but there is a parking lot. We paid $10 for the evening. We did not inquire if there was other parking available (for example in the hotel)

This is a fun place! Lots of stuff to see and the people watching is excellent. We shared the wyobi steak tartar...this was a first for me, but we heard they have the best in the area, "can't go wrong", so we tried it. It was excellent! The bar tender did an amazing job too...professional at every level. Highly recommended!!!

Wow. I was pleasantly surprised with such a great experience at this restaurant. My husband and I went here with our friends for NYE dinner and it was a fixed holiday menu. Even though I would consider this dinner slightly overpriced, it was still a 5 star experience for me. The champagne was so smooth and amazing, the steak I had was cooked to perfection with the most incredible sauce and the rest of the dinner/dessert experience was amazing. My water glass was always full and the server left us alone enough to enjoy the night. I would definitely recommend trying Monarch out if you haven't before. Just know, this is a fancy dinner ($$$) not a casual night!

The food was delicious. The lamb was cooked perfectly and was tender and well seasoned. The desserts were amazing and prefect for sharing (or not sharing too). The service was quick and very friendly. I will definitely be back.

We were taking in a show at the Orpheum and the Monarch was right across the street. Making a reservation online was no problem, and we got a good parking spot in the street around the corner. The lighting was low and comfortable. The mood was quiet and upscale. The menu was good, albeit a bit pricey as dinner for two with splitting an entree was $120 before tip. Our server was friendly and engaged us in dialog, but the food was somewhat slow to come out and although I would say the food quality was high, the portions seemed very small. This seems to be the norm when eating downtown in the Big O these days.

Ate dinner with my daughter…really great! I had salmon and she had steak, both were awesome. Crème brûlée was excellent. Great atmosphere as well.

We happened upon this spot because we stayed at the hotel next door and wow! It was so nice we ate both dinner and breakfast there!! Service was wonderful; our servers for both dinner and breakfast were fantastic! Don’t pass up this slightly hidden gem!

We love our meal, and the experience there! The food was fantastic, friendly service, clean, & elegant!!

Really great place. Romantic atmosphere good for business dinner as well. Beautiful bar at entrance. Tables were wobbly and squeaky but food and wine great. High quality ingredients and impressive preparation and presentation. Highly recommended.

Hotel Deco - Omaha, NE Monarch Restaurant Quiet, romantic place within Hotel Deco. Went to brunch - with 30 mins to go, the place was empty until a large party arrived. Excellent service! Amazing, chef-inspired food full of flavor. Coffee, delicious. No reservations required. Highly recommend. Will return for brunch, try other items and the dinner menu. Price: $12-15 per meal.

Atmosphere was okay. Service was good (we did over hear one waiter complaining about his job). One of our 2 meals was good. They did take my over-cooked steak off the bill. Price was too high for the food & atmosphere.

Great spot with food that impressed. While the menu for food and drinks is small, they got the nail on the head with every item. The options feel curated and perfected. The ambience cannot be topped in this restaurant and the staff was wonderful and friendly.

Literally wanted to eat everything on the menu! It was so good, we even came back for breakfast! Service was awesome. Definitely worth it.

We had a wonderful experience after the opera this last Sunday. I was a huge fan of this place before the pandemic and since then it changed head chefs. I have been hesitant to return. It was slow for a Sunday, but there are not a whole lot of places open at that time downtown. Truthfully, I was pleasantly surprised. They had a great wine selection which is always key, and they brought us a better vintage than what was on the menu, so we were off to a good start. I got the charcuterie, the short rib and the poached pear dessert. All were well integrated dishes. Wished for a bit more options, may be a special, but I appreciate that what they did have they made well and with great technique and attention to ingredients. I really don’t like it when we have to choose our sides, so often that feels like an afterthought, so in a town of steakhouses this place does a good job at presenting thoughtful dishes.

I have never been treated so poorly by a restaurant. During our dinner with 6 other people we dropped $152 on dinner and drinks for 2. The waiter spilled an entire tray of drinks on my husband's lap. HE was apologetic and very nice. STILL, my husband had to sit in wet pants, socks and shoes. VERY uncomfortable. The restaurant management comped us $19. WOW. My husband didn't want to make a scene so I called the manager that night and asked for a more appropriate compensation. He assured me that my husbands drinks and dinner would be credited. NOTHING HAPPENED. Even with another email they have DONE NOTHING. I will be asking my credit card company to not pay for this. All we wanted was a little courtesy. We don't wear clothing that requires dry cleaning but if we did we would have sent a bill and for the cleaning of my husbands leather shoes. TOO BAD. Nice and fun restaurant even though the food was just okay.

We went to dinner for New Year’s Eve. We were one of the first tables to be seated. The restaurant was beautiful. We all order filets but all of our steaks were over cooked. For the amount of money we spent ( 200.00) for just me and my husband, I expected excellent food. Unfortunately we would not go back nor recommend.

The decor is pretty and the menu looks delicious, unfortunately I wasn't able to try the food. I went in when the restaurant was maybe half full as a solo diner and was told they couldn't seat me inside the restaurant but instead at the bar. Not usually a problem for me but the host told me they wouldn't be able to serve me the restaurant menu and I could choose "something little like a flat bread". I'm sure they wanted to save the tables for a larger group that might spend more money but that was a bit frustrating to be turned away.

We were the only 2 at breakfast, however, got incredibly slow/minimal service. The food (simple eggs and toast) took a very long time to come out and had obviously been sitting under the warmer for quite some time. The avocado had pit peel mixed into it. Not great, which was a bummer because it was convenient and the atmosphere was fun. Plus side- could pay with google pay.

The food was just OK. They have a very small menu and they were out of the first two entrees we selected. The interaction with the server was awkward as he tried to convince us the entrees we wound up with were better than the ones they were out of. Also, if you are going to serve cheap lentils as your side item, you should make some attempt to make them taste good. It was WAY to expensive considering the mediocre food quality.

Forgot to put our order in and we had told them we were in a hurry. Food came out late and they forgot our appetizers. They comped one of the 4 meals after the mistake. Food was good but a little too much pepper, & salt was questionable too. Chicken was cooked perfectly browned and moist. Fries were good but could have been a little hotter. My husband enjoyed his steak and fries. We really liked the Atmosphere, it was great, seating was roomy and comfortable.

We ordered a hanger steak and a filet mignon. For some reason, I thought the hanger steak was better even though it was half the price. Maybe it was the mouthwatering sauce that the hanger steak was on top of. Overall, Monarch is a beautiful, chill restaurant with great food.

Perfect visit. The breakfast menu has all the favorites (Eggs Benedict, granola bowls etc.) and the service was superb. It’s also very nicely decorated and the music is lovely.

Ordered a steak and it was chewy and had gristle in it. It was cooked how I like but was not impressed with the steak. For the money paid it was not worth it. I ordered the more expensive steak because I wanted a great steak. Others in my party ordered the cheaper steak and said theirs was pretty good. Not impressed. Service was a little slow and should have done a better job staying on top of drinks. Appetizers were all very good.

Passing through Omaha and happened upon this restaurant that was close to our hotel. The food was absolutely amazing! The wait staff was polite and friendly and gave great wine recommendations. Very much enjoyed our visit!

Very unique! Quite place and the food was wonderful! When they bring your ticket to the table, it is in an old book instead of a credit card folder. Our book was an Arithmetic book from 1958. It took me back to when I was in school and the style of quality of books that were used I in school back then. Staff was very friendly.
