Perfect for
The Monroe does excellent, upscale comfort food dishes that go heavy on nostalgia in a loungey space that’s like a more upscale version of the Brady Bunch’s living room. Go for the crispy cauliflower as an appetizer, then double down on the fried chicken with skin that’s just the right level of crunchy before desserts like an ice-cream-topped brownie. This spot has a different vibe during the morning and afternoon, when it’s a coffee shop filled with college students studying and corporate types grab lunch.
