I had salmon, Brussel sprouts and grits. Spouse had strip steak. Both were excellent. We had a very nice server. Drinks from the bar were slow to arrive but it was a busy night. Very good!

The Monkey is a favorite of ours. Food is always on point and delicious. We visited on Saturday night and it was not overly busy, but the service was crazy slow. The tables around us turned 2x by the time we finished. Even with that said.... Go to the Flying Monkey- Great food, The manager is always there, so hard working, and fun atmosphere.

Awesome service from start to finish. Should have bar specials available to seated customers as there was no room at the bar to sit even if we wanted to.

We had an excellent brunch. Our server was friendly and super attentive, and the atmosphere was perfect for a casual family meal-- lively, but not too noisy to have conversation. The food was delicious and the mimosas were top notch. We loved everything about the Flying Monkey!
