Reviews
Bummed by service when we came in before six and they took a good while to seat us then, then the waitress took 10 plus minutes to stop by…. My wife asked for something off the happy hour menu that ended at six and was told no, and was suggested to her that she should have gotten here earlier… so not a great look. There are many ways to handle asks and even say no. That is not one of them. I felt the response was a bit lack luster from management as well ( offered to comp a round but I’m we all had water).
I get busy, I get tired, mistakes happen but for Thursday night this was unfortunate.
We have had some decent food and service in the past so I’m hopping this was just an outlier.
Food was decent but mine (burger) was barely warm, Shane for the good looking fries.
From the first plate to the last, Scarlett moved through the dining room like controlled lightning. Orders arrived hot, perfectly timed, and announced with confidence, not the rushed mumble you often get when a place is busy. She knew exactly what she was placing down, how it was prepared, and which sauce was going to make you irrationally happy. When someone at our table hesitated, she had a recommendation ready, delivered with wit instead of salesmanship.
What stood out most was her awareness. Empty water glasses vanished and returned full without interrupting conversation. Extra napkins appeared before anyone asked. A side of sauce we casually mentioned wanting somehow materialized moments later, as if the restaurant itself had been listening. There’s a rare professionalism in that kind of anticipation, and Scarlett wore it lightly, pairing it with humor and an easy smile that never felt forced.
The food itself absolutely deserves praise. Well-seasoned, thoughtfully plated, and clearly made with care. The kitchen knows what it’s doing, and the menu balances comfort with ambition. But great food is everywhere. Great service is not.
Scarlett elevated the entire experience. She made the room feel alive, synchronized, and genuinely welcoming. It’s easy to overlook food runners, but this restaurant has a secret weapon sprinting between the kitchen and the floor. If management is smart, they already know it.
Come for the food. Stay for the Scarlett.
But we all agreed that we would be back again.
The service really stood out: attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do, which makes the entire experience even better. MATT the GM is AWESOME, and KENTON made the best drinks.
If you’re looking for great food, quality drinks, and a relaxed yet energetic vibe, Laughing Monk Brewing and Gastropub is a must-visit. This is the kind of place you come back to—and bring friends with you. Highly recommend.
