Going tomorrow with HCBW for our anniversary, which we have done for a few years. Worth the splurge now and then IMO. I'm not normally a big foodie, dont have a sophisticated palate, but this place just is so good. "Named by Trip Advisor as a Top Three Fine Dining Restaurant in the Nation, this family owned and operated gem in the heart of historic Old Town Scottsdale has earned an illustrious reputation for its first-rate service, elegant ambiance, and five-star cuisine.
At Cafe Monarch the menu is always changing, bringing you an ever-evolving array of innovative culinary creations that feature nothing but the finest in premium fresh, local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. The four-course prix fixe menus are meticulously designed to delight even the most sophisticated of palates."
Honestly, because my wife's a foodie, we've splurged now and then and gone to some nice places as we've traveled, and have some pretty good food, but this place in Scottsdale is my favorite, highly recommend if you're looking for an anniversary or important date place for dinner.
