Cocktails and wings, what else could you ask for!! Everyone recommended the dry rub wings, so we had to stop on for a try... glad we did! Wings were fantastic (we did half order), great flavor, juicy and good size. We ate at the bar and...Read More

Free parking right by the restaurant! Of course it’s also a good place to celebrate a special event or even have a business meeting. Food is great, service is impeccable, and the decor mixes modern at the bar and traditional at the dining area. It's certainly...Read More

Very good and fancy place! I ordered the sampling platter. It had fried chicken, shrimp (served cold, with lemon), calamari, green beans, and potato salad. Fried chicken: good level of crispiness. Almost slightly sweet rub? Maybe some cinnamon. But then other classic spices that comprised most of...Read More

Food was amazing! Loved the boozy milkshake. Sitting out on the patio is very cute but service is very slow. Faster service inside but the bar tends to take a while with pushing out your drinks so expect to wait awhile for those. Good idea...Read More

Monte Carlo is a staple. Love popping in and sitting at the bar for a bev and some conversation. Bartenders are always so friendly. One HUGE plus is they have a parking lot of guests. That's like, unheard of in the North loop.

The patio at Monte Carlo is great! We stopped here for a drink and some small plates, and it was wonderful. Service was understandably a bit slow because it was crowded. It was nice to see so many people outside enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon....Read More
