    My husband ordered the wood oven chicken, which was absolutely delicious. Tender all the way through. I ordered the short rib Bolognese, which was very disappointed. It had pork as the primary meat instead of beef. The restaurant took the entrée off the bill and offered a complimentary dessert. I was overall disappointed with the meal.

    Trisha, thank you for joining us and for providing this feedback. We're happy your husband enjoyed our Wood Oven Chicken and thank you for your compliments. However, we're sorry and surprised you weren't a fan of our Shortrib Bolognese, which is very popular. We hope you can join us again someday, and if you do make it in, please ask for a manager so we can ensure you have an outstanding dining experience in every way. The Monarch Dallas team
