First time having brunch there. Everyone loved their food. We shared the pecan sticky bun, then the table ordered eggs Benedict, breakfast burrito, Nutella French toast sticks, chicken and waffles. Service was friendly and we were not rushed. We will be back!

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.
