Monument Restaurant & Tavern

My recent visits to this restaurant have been mixed. Cocktails were disappointing and the bread has declined in quality. They removed the hot chicken dip, a favorite dish. On the positive side, the steak tips and half chicken dishes are consistently good. I recommend focusing on these items. Overall, they could improve by maintaining quality across all dishes and considering bringing back popular menu items.Update: they changed the chicken, that's now terrible too

Clearly people like coming here because it was packed when we got inside. We stumbled upon this happening spot after finishing the Freedom Trail. The wait was about 40 minutes, but I found a spot on the bar and about 5 minutes later was able to get another seat for my partner at the bar with me. The bartenders were very nice and quick to put in an order. My Aperol spritz was very refreshing and exactly what I needed. We ordered the clam chowder which was awesome. They definitely put their twist to the normal style clam chowder, by adding little chunks of bacon and topping it off with paprika crackers which all blended beautifully together. Oh baby!!! Those birria breakfast tacos... these bad boys were NEXT LEVEL. The flavors were incredible between the braised short ribs, cheese, eggs, avocado, and consommé ... it was probably one of the best brunch dishes I've ever had.Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out. Definitely get the birria breakfast tacos! I would definitely recommend to make reservations ahead of time. The lively vibe would be a fun place to come with a bunch of friends or/and family.

Great atmosphere with fantastic weekly specials! Items we ordered as of 12/2023:- French Onion Soup - $12: Really great deep onion flavors with this. Would recommend although I wish there was more cheese.- Baby Caesar - $14: Really enjoy the anchovies they include here (wish more places offered it)- Sirloin Steak Tips - $33: Great tender steak which pairs well with the sweet onions and mashed potatoes. The pepper is HOT though so don't bite into it thinking that it's a normal red pepper!- Sweet Chili Pulled Pork Ramen - $24: Their weekly Wednesday night ramen special! Pulled pork was tender with just enough sweetness that goes well with their broth! Noodles were just a wee bite overdone but otherwise was delicious!

Best brunch spot in the area in my opinion! Fun and delicious dishes with great service and a big outdoor patio. The french toast was especially amazing. Great portions, as well! Had leftovers for days.

First visit to the Monument Restaurant and Tavern. It was not what I expected....in a positive way. First off, upon entry, the room is dark and cozy, which we loved. The bar was the full length of the right hand side of the restaurant and very busy! It was a Friday night so we didn't expect anything less. We were seated after waiting for approx. 15 minutes. The large pizza oven is sort of the center of the restaurant as it can be seen from many seats/tables. We ordered some drinks and the cornbread app, which was incredible. We could have eaten 2 more, easily. The maple butter taste was perfect....not too much, not too little.....just right! For dinner, we ordered the smash burger with mashed potatoes and tacos. I gave the smash burger an A. Two patties cooked medium-well, with onion and lettuce with a grilled roll....fantastic! The tacos were the same....2 in total and plenty for dinner...good size.We did not get dessert....although some of the desserts passing our table looked inviting. Service was solid, even though it was busy. Price was fair. Parking is available on Main Street and in front of Whole Foods, if you can't find any closer. We will definitely be back. Next time for lunch. I am surprised that it took us this long to visit. We left very impressed! PS: They do have a decent amount of outside seating, as well. I loved the candle light on each table....nice touch!

We had dinner at the bar tonight. Emily the bar server is amazing, making drinks and taking orders all going smooth. Maybe when serving dinner at the bar Monument should offer a large white cloth napkin to cover the counter top. Tonight our onion soup was alittle to salty, but our steak tips were perfect. Love Monument restaurant and Tavern. Wahoooo to your team

Great food, cocktails and bartenders. Pizza was excellent as were the old fashioneds. Recommended.

PROS: This was a very nice bar that had a rustic look to it. the staff was nice, good food, strong menu variety, they take reservations, prices were also solid. There's a parking lot nearby at Whole Foods so you don't need to park on the streetCONS: They only have two 1 person bathrooms which can cause a lineup of peopleOVERALL: I highly recommend you come to this bar. Despite the bathroom issue this is top notch compared to others in the area

This brunch was amazing. I absolutely loved the French toast and the potatoes. The service was swift everything came out in time and the setting was great open space.

I'm not from the area but have been to this establishment twice.The servers are friendly and helpful. My water cup was never empty and they were refilling our drinks constantly. (Highly recommend the iced coffee). The food was amazing. I ordered the steak and cheese sandwich. When I took that first bite the flavor from the peppers on this sandwich overwhelmed my tastebuds in a way I have never experienced. Keep up the great work and keep treating your customers with that level of service. Awesome spot. Highly recommend!
