Monarch Izakaya Restaurant

Cute cozy spot, several gluten free dish options. Sangria pitcher had a lot of ice, felt like ordering separate glasses would’ve been a better deal

Understated and pleasantly lit, delicious and well priced— a rarity in the neighborhood these days. A good date spot, with a lover or friend, modern cozy vibe. Their calamari is standout, and is crusted with rice, rendering it gluten free. Several other solid gluten free options as well. Every dish my bf and I ordered was really good. The flavor, presentation, and quality of each dish is undeniably high. They also have a large second floor outdoor eating area, from which we enjoyed peering out onto the street.
