I've ventured to this restaurant multiple times with family and friends. Always a great time and service. We visited on a Sunday which I totally forgot, so we put our names down and went to the deck to have a cocktail. We ordered the Watermelon Basil Smashes which are non alcoholic, but we added tequila to it. IM TELLING YOU THAT THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST DRINKS EVER. As we sipped our cocktails as a guy was playing live music. What a vibe. As we finished our drinks, we received the notification that our table was ready. We ordered another round of the smashes and started off with the Crispy Lologi Calamari. We really enjoyed the dish, but were thrown off by the crispy capers. I've honestly never seen capers this large and were filled with seeds. We both ordered the Monarch Bowl for lunch, but i added chicken since she's pescatarian. The mixture of all the veggies was amazing which I never thought would all be good together. The beauty of the view and everything is awesome. This spot is beautiful and a charm in Del Mar. My rating is a 9/10.
Definitely the best happy hour with a view in north county! I'm a big fan of coming here after work to unwind with a glass of wine and a couple apps at the bar. The Caesar salad with the crispy capers is so good, same with the shisitos and the potato coquettes. They get busy so I suggest getting here on the early side of HH (4pm-6pm) so you can get a prime seat.
Our tradition on the first day of school is to go out for brunch and we have always wanted to check out his spot! We love the cool outdoor deck with pocket views of the water. Our server was very nice and helpful. They didn't have brunch on week day but they informed us they have one on Sundays. We started with the Potato croquettes which had nice and crispy exterior and cheesy delicious interior. The Short Rib sandwich was phenomenal! There was a nice chimichurri sauce and the toasted marble rye bread made it great! We tried a few cocktails, the Hugo Spritz and the Paloma were delicious! Can't wait to come back with some friends!
Great location for a fun atmosphere to get a drink and some great apps. It can get loud at times. We like hanging out at the patio to take in the beautiful Del Mar scenery. They have food and drinks to go and it is prompt.
Such a cute place for happy hour, but be warned - come early in small groups or be prepared to wait. I don't remember much of what we got for food, but they were definitely tasty. The real win here is the amount of care put into each drink on the specialty cocktail list, which isn't part of happy hour, but they were so tasty I'd gladly pay full price for them again and again. The mai tai with POG foam was one of the best drinks I've ever had in my life. Of course, the ocean views are absolutely gorgeous. We came during the colder season, but I can only imagine how gorgeous it is now that it's summer. Definitely on the list of places I need to make my way back to!
Went into Monarch for a bite to eat while in San Diego the other week and really enjoyed the atmosphere at Monarch Ocean Pub. There is a lot of natural light, overlooks the ocean and town, and they have TV's if you're a sports person. A great location for any occasion! The Spicy Chicken sandwich was delicious, I got a side salad with it and was a big fan of the sandwich and salad. I'm a spice lover and didn't think it was very spicy but don't take my word for that. We also got the Applewood Bacon Burger and thought it was great! Not pictured is the Yellowfin Tuna Poke that was my favorite item!!
Came here for drinks and light snacks and this place did not disappoint. We ordered the ceviche and several drinks here. We had the dragonfruit margarita, Pineapple Express, and smoke on the watermelon. Would highly recommend the dragon fruit margarita and the Pineapple Express! The ceviche was surprisingly good and they serve really big shrimp bites here lol! We also ordered the croquette and those were very delicious too!! This place is located on the second floor and there is parking garage. The first hour is free! The views here are also beautiful since it overlooks the ocean.
The restaurant sits a couple of floors up so we got a great view of the Del Mar ocean. Our server Casey was super nice and personable. All the portions are big enough to share. Everything we had was delicious. For appetizers, we got the ceviche, poke, and calamari. My friends shared the Cobb salad and a turkey sandwich. They ordered the half salad but I swear it was as big as my full sized Caesar salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked. Not too dry and good flavor. I would love to come back here next time and sit outside on the patio.
