Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Peoria

This was our first visit. Food was excellent and Raymond our server was terrific! Super job from him, very personable and attentive! We wish the wine list was more extensive. We’ll be back!

Excellent food. Fabulous view of the city. Our server, Nash, was informative and lots of fun. A highlight of our trip!

Overall experience was great! The Filet Minion was super tender and delicious! The Mash potatoes were some of the best i’ve had!

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

I love all my people at the Social!!! It’s rare you find your tribe but I have mine ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
