The Monkey Tree has emerged as a divisive dining experience, with patrons sharing contrasting opinions. While some visitors rave about the charming atmosphere, accommodating staff, and delicious food—highlighting standout dishes like the Tomahawk steak and rack of lamb—others express deep disappointment. Reports of cold meals, uninterested service, and unprofessional staff interactions marred several experiences. Despite the restaurant's appealing decor and generous portion sizes, consistency in both food quality and service remains a concern. Whether it’s a delightful evening or a distressing outing seems a gamble, leaving potential diners with mixed feelings about this Ashby establishment.
