Great Food, decent service
Monks is a great place to go to chill with friends or to grab a decently healthy bite to eat. Not considered a sports bar, it does offer several tv’s should you want to catch a televised sporting event while eating or drinking one of their unique flavors of beer on tap.
While at Monks, I ordered a chicken Caesar salad minus the caesar dressing, adding sprouts, tomatoes, cucumbers, and their homemade dijon balsamic dressing on the side. The salad was excellent and the ingredients were fresh. My friend ordered a pita sandwich, and it looked great. They also have excellent salsa and decently sized burgers as well. Monks has great choices for the healthy eater (me) and the not-so-healthy eaters (all of my friends), so it is a good place to go should you be among people with totally different tastes in food.
The service at Monks is not as excellent as the food, however. The owner is usually there and he is very accommodating and pleasant, however, some of the servers are not quite as happy to wait on customers. There are one or two servers who are pleasant and who do not give attitude should you make some changes to a dish on the menu, however, for the most part, the help is not so nice when you want to personalize an order. As a previous waitress and bartender, this does not go over well with me.
In any event, overall, monks has a great atmosphere and great food. I would recommend trying it!
Dishes Tried:
Chicken Caesar Salad
The chicken is well done and all white meat and the veggies that I added to it were fresh and delicious. Also, their homemade Dijon Balsamic dressing that I got in place of the caesar was excellent!
