Loud bar scene 80% of the time.
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.

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Arrived and had a short wait til seated. The waitress came over right away to take our order. We got some of the seasonal beer which was fantastic as usual. One of our favorite reasons for coming back. On top of that I got the Mediterranean Bowl and my husband got the prime rib. Both were delicious. This spot never disappoints and is a staple for us. We will definitely be back!

From the moment you walk in, the best hostess Ava is there with a cheery, welcoming smile. It’s like we’ve known her forever. This location is like the show Cheers. Grab a bevy, or yummy pretzel with beer cheese and gets you ready for the weekend. They are so friendly and it’s a great meeting spot for mom nights out or shows that they throw from time to time. Fun spot and great hostesses!!

Some restaurants win you over with a signature dish. Others with a clever cocktail list. This place did both competently, but the real headline, the thing you keep talking about the next day, was Scarlett, the food runner who turned a good meal into a memorable night.

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.

Laughing Monk Brewery is always a treat! The service is friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks are consistently YUM. The vibe really comes alive on Friday nights with live music. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy great beer/wine, tasty bites, and an awesome atmosphere. Definitely our Friday night go-to for fun with family and friends.

A group of seven just had the most tasty and fun meal – made even better by our server Abriana. While some of us came for burger week specials, most of us ordered a la carte. From ahi tuna and chicken dishes thru the burgers, omelettes and pancakes the food was delicious. The virgin bloody mary was expertly prepared and served. Our only (very) minor quibble was the sweet potato fries: they could have been server warmer.

But we all agreed that we would be back again.

We love going to Laughing Monk…whether it is a dinner out with the kids or a date night for a cocktail & good convo at the bar, they always seem to deliver exactly what you need in the moment. The environment, patrons, and staff are bright spots bringing a sense of community even amongst strangers. Everyone who works there does it with a smile on their face; it is obvious that great service is a priority. We’ve particularly appreciated running into Ava in the front who always greets us immediately with enthusiasm and a warm sense of hospitality…setting the tone for what is always an amazing evening ahead!

Absolutely loved this place. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, lively, and perfect for both casual hangouts and date nights. The food was exceptional—fresh, well-portioned, and clearly made with care. Every bite delivered on flavor.

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.

We love Laughing Monk! The food is consistently great and the beer is delicious. It’s become our favorite spots to come with family and friends. There is something for everyone, including great options for different appetites and tastes. Everyone loves their tacos and I am obsessed with the Asian chicken salad. The atmosphere is perfect for kids, and still really fun for adults and watching sports. Their breakfast service is also amazing and honestly an often slept on”meal, it’s our favorite for brunch!

We are so lucky to have this place in Scotts Valley. They have good food, good service, and are always supporting the community. I know it’s somewhere I can take my kids, go on a date night, have a girls night, etc and it will always be a hit. They get busy for sure, but that just means they’re doing it right. We love Laughing Monk! They also have a great happy hour. Their wings and their Parmesan garlic fries are the best!!!
