   Great food, great staff. There was a particularly large group there for our entire meal that was extremely loud. I don't hold this against the hotel/restaurant but they ruined the ambience a bit. The restaurant is open concept so sound carries a lot.

   Horrible long wait….close to 1hr and 30min. Food not worth the price paid.

   Great menu and good location next to the Avenir Center. Both occasions we were at Monk 10 was prior to a concert at Avenir and the restaurant was very busy. Service was extremely slow and staff seemed overwhelmed. Ordered burgers and waited over an hour for the food and were almost late for the show. Definitely would not go there on show night. Probably a reasonable place to dine on other occasions.

   Was really not happy with the overall. It was the first time for me and it will be the last time. I don't recommend at all.

   The Monk10 patio is the place to be. Shaded from the sun, with a nice selection of craft beers, and short mebu of well prepared, locally sourced food.

   Love this patio. It’s away from the road with comfortable seating. The steak was perfect and the charcuterie board is delicious! And to top it off, our server was wonderful.

   We have now been at Monk10 4 times. Every time we have been there the restaurant has been what appears to be understaffed. We have been there with 2 people, 4 people and 6 people so it didn't matter the number of people in the party- we are always there for 3 hours minimum. We keep going back because 2 of my adult children and my husband have offices downtown .We want to support the restaurant. But last night service was the worst its been .The waiter clearly had no idea what he was doing. I understand if he was new but there did not appear to be anyone around to help him.The restaurant was also not busy at all and still we waited about 30 minutes for a drink and even longer to place our order for food. Each time we wanted to either order a drink or food we had to go find someone inside as we were on the patio. Our reservation was for 5:30 and we did not get out of there until 9pm. We didn't end up having coffee or dessert. We had family here from Halifax and we were hoping for a much better experience. I would really have to consider ever going back.

    My friend from out of town and I met up here for lunch. We split the charcuterie board and had some drinks. it was fantastic!!! Servings were very generous and more than enough for us both! Everything paired very well! If you’re unsure what to pick and like to try a bit of everything I definitely recommend it! Service was great. Not gonna lie, I can be a bit picky sometimes and have very specific questions, but our server was Very friendly, knew the answers to all my questions and made awesome drink recommendations! We’re already looking forward to coming here the next time my friend is in town!

    The atmosphere is amazing! I ordered the Pork Piccata with the lemon couscous. The pork was juicy seasoned and cooked perfectly. Came topped with a delicious lemon butter sauce. The couscous was light and fluffy. Beautiful plating. It was the perfect cozy place for a meet and greet. It was my first visit but I will be back for sure.

    First impression : looks good, but smells like a swimming pool. When making a reservation, you can select the occasion (none, anniversary, birthday, special occasion...). You would expect that a special occasion would be seated in a special area, but I was next to a table full of kids running around the place. The place wasn't full and it was so loud we could hear everything going on at every table. The food was good, but not WOW-good. The server was nice, but seemed a bit confused and didn't know the menu very well.

    The food is awesome! We got the Smokehouse burger and I would definitely recommend it. I loved everything about it. The gravy for the fries was spectacular. I will definitely be going again.

    Awful - haven’t disliked a restaurant like this in many years. Awful quality of food- not a “fine eatery” awful ambiance and waitress was so rude.

    We went for Mother's Day. The photos online gave the impression of an atmospheric place for a casual slightly upscale dining experience. As we open the door we were "greeted" by a server who ran away from us as we were letting in the "too cold" air from outside. Then met with the faint smell of chlorine and the sound of happily screaming kids as they raced through the hotel lobby back and forth to the pool. The restaurant must serve as the location that the hotel serves breakfast to its guests each morning. The breakfast chaffing dish set up is in evidence. Although we had a reservation and the place was deserted we were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant rather than a cozier booth. The table was the breakfast buffet style and was wobbly to the point that we had to keep our feet on the stand to keep our drinks for sloshing out it moved. Now our server did fix this about half way through our meal once we asked her so that helped a lot. Our appetizer was given away to another table but that was okay. When it did arrive, what was tantalizingly described in the menu as croquettes were merely large rounds of potatoes rolled in breadcrumbs. Not worth filling up on as we hoped the burgers were going to be great. The server took our order (3 different burgers, I with fries and 2 with the delicious Monk10 salad). She did not write it down, so we had to keep correcting her as she said it back. Needless to say it was not right when it arrived. We eventually switched things up to put together a semblance of what we had ordered. Wrong cheese on wrong burger, wrong sides with wrong burgers, wrong toppings, etc.. The meat was well prepared, the buns were really good. The Monk10 salad was really really good. We asked about the specialty cakes. As it was Mother's day, we figured it might be something decadent. They were out. They only make so many for the week and they were out, on Mother's Day at 5:45pm? Not eager to try again.

    Not what we expected, this is the same room the Hilton is serving breakfast in, you can see the cereal bins on the wall, no ambiance at all, kids from the hotel guests are running around. Food is average. I guess it’s ok if you are staying at the hotel and don’t want to get out but this is not a fancy restaurant for a hot date.

    The burger and the pasta were excellent, and the musician (singer/guitarist) was really good. Unfortunately, there are a few issues you will want to be aware of. The online and phone reservation system are not user-friendly. The restaurant is located off the main Hilton hotel lobby and strongly smells of chlorine from the pool. It is difficult to have a conversation due to the loud acoustics. It’s much better outside on the patio. Nice variety of local craft beers, extremely good food, carefully prepared.

    We have to give a lower score for food because we did not know that dinner menu was not available at 3:30. And several of the lunch menu items were not available. Kitchen was closed from 4 to 5. That would have been helpful info to know when booking a table. Food items we did receive were very good however.

    Our server was new but she did a great job! She brought our drinks promptly, explained the specials/menu well, told us what wasn't available right off so we wouldn't get our hearts set on something. I thought it would be loud in there since it's so open, but it wasn't. After leaving for a change of venue, we wished we hadn't left. The other places we tried afterwards had extremely loud music which made it hard to have a conversation. The lemon drop was my favourite cocktail. Although the charcuterie didn't have the jerky available that night, it was still really good and just what we wanted for 3 ladies catching up on the last few months of pandemic time. The restaurant itself seems very open ... open to the lobby etc. It was kind of funny seeing kids runs through on their way to the pool or back to their rooms, while we ladies were out for grown-up drinks. But they didn't bother anyone and weren't noisy. We really enjoyed ourselves.
