Beef short ribs with garlic mashed potatoes was delicious. Portions enough for two.

We have not been to monkey cat for a while as we thought it had kind of slipped in quality and just wasn’t that great but last night’s dinner definitely seemed like they turned it around. I had an order of calamari, which was great.  for dinner I had the beef shank and oh my gosh, it was delicious. I would order that again. Anyway, I see us going back again soon. Cheers.

The food was excellent as usual. We had the filet mignon and Risotto and shared a salad. The Cole slaw type salad was tasty with the bleu cheese in it and presented very artistically. Our server was Erica and she was very pleasant, smiley and professional. For dessert we shared a Carmel cheesecake that was creamy and sweet. A nice evening meal.

Delicious bread service. I 'm in the bread basket is a must camp but if I 'm going to be charged for it, it has to be top notch. It was! Very good big rock Old Fashioned. Seared Ahi Salad was a bit meh. Service was friendly but really loud you could hear her voice above all others throughout the dining room with every conversation she had. Update: Returned a few days later for Happy Hour. No menu offered donut was just dictated. No taco Tuesday as shown on Facebook on most preceding Tuesdays. Calamari a bit well done but tasty.
