Let me just say I'm a incredible food obsessed. So... Recently, on business I ate at Monkey Bar in Manhattan. Precisely enjoyable and joyful dinnerWait staff at this restaurant amazingly nice! The event was exceptional. The entrees showed up extremely fast. Now the the level of quality together with amount of food was basically very good. Even though no true issues. Of the couple of apps 2 main courses we ordered, We'd rate 3 as amazing & 1 as pretty okay The price was basically what we estimated though maybe a couple of $ too pricy. Me and my wife had a excellent evening! So refreshing since there are numerous Manhattan eating places that are lousy. I am a massive fan of the place. Visit today prior to when the publicity gets ridiculous. We will certainly be soon.
