    Service was top notch. We arrived a little early before our reservation time, but were quickly accommodated. Our waiter Matt, was very nice, and made sure that we had a good time. The Monarch/Aleteo is just an absolute gorgeous space, the attention to detail, down to the hostess matching outfits did not escape us. The views are probably the best in San Antonio.

    The vibes and service are amazing, the food was not good at all though. For such a small menu you’d expect all of the options to be perfected by the people constantly making the around 12 options total. But the fries with the chicken were soggy and the tacos were mediocre are best. When the paying close to $40 for chicken and fries i’d expect food that I actually liked. Honestly if you’re going to come here it’s best to just get a drink and sit outside. No hate to the staff they were amazing.
