The Funky Monkey

The food was really, really good. Everything was super tasty. As an FYI, the food is served tapas style and thus may not come out at the same time as everyone w/n your party. The cocktails were really tasty as well though they came out far after our food. We went on a Saturday which was nice as there was live music. Good vibes- will definitely go back.

This was a nice surprise. I came to town for a cake tasting gift my wedding and we were referred to this spot! Located upstairs we were greeted and seated quickly, and we both decided on three ribs ramen...I had to try it, and it was just as impressive as it's presentation. Our only complaint was the rib meat was too fatty, but the broth and other ingredients were delicious. We also ordered the baria egg rolls which street also satisfying. Great crunch, and presentation.

This place has the best wings and ramen! I got the short rib ramen. Huge bowl, enough for 2 to share. The meat and noodles were amazing 😍. My husband got the wing. They were nice and meaty and tasted heavenly. Great selection of wines and cocktails. There were also a few beers on draft. Hubby got a great hazy IPA. The whole staff was amazing. So friendly and great knowledge of the menu. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this place.

One of the worst meals and service I've ever experienced. Low energy staff. No proactivity, if not very much inexperienced, on how to wait on tables. Never offered refills on sodas. Brought appetizers (Pulpo Loco) a good 10 minutes AFTER everyone got their entree. Asked for beer and after 15 minutes. Reminded waitress (young short haired blonde) And was told "there's only one bartender " PLACE WAS DEAD on a Wednesday night. A good waitress is proactive and at Least touches base with customer in case of any delays. Same thing happened when we questioned why appetizer had not been served after nearly 10 minutes after main dishes served. Response was a nervous: yep its coming. That's it. How about we maintain order and serve appetizers first. We also had a case of the disspearing waitress. We had meal served and no utensils etc. NOW THE IMPORTANT PART. THE FOOD. BAO BUNS were OK. Raman was spicy and generally good. Now the Wagyu sliders: SERVED COLD. Two of the parties ordered them and BOTH were cold. Meat was room temp almost. GROSS. (I never return food) either eat or trash. Never return food. Not worth it. It's a fail anyway you put it. Fries were OK. The Frites steak was below average. Very grease. Chimichurri sauce was plastic green and not typical consistency But fries again were descent. Now to the PULPO LOCO. I've attached a pic. Now does that look like what's pictured on the menu? This was supposed to be an appetizer but served about 10 minutes after main meal served. Instead of octopus being a whole "leg" as pictured and as I've always had it at many restaurants it was literally chopped up pieces of mystery meat on top of a molded "rissotto" the octopus tasted like TUNA. YUK! The Rissotto seemed undercooked still on the hard side but with decent taste. Not great. Not even close. Just OK. Maybe because we were so hungry but wouldn't be served anywhere in the world like this. Just not a very good rendition of this classic Spanish Euro dish. This place is a tourist trap. On a good note. The guy that started playing tunes on his guitar was great. Decor with monkeys was cool. Too bad everything else was subpar to UNACCEPTABLE. CHANGE COOK AND STAFF and place has a shot. PLUS look at the old reviews and pictures. Even the presentation has changed. The wagyu burgers dont seem to now use the same buns. The octopus pics from months ago look totally different from what is being served now in Dec 2023. Some reviews note their may be new chef or staff. I take these reviews seriously and give an honest GLIMPSE in time of what I experienced. When product is good I definitely love to give props but this place is on lifesupport December 2023.

Stopped for lunch 6/30 first time We shared the waygu sliders & pork fried rice. Both were delicious. Sliders were on a pretzel bun which was a lot of bun for the size of the sliders, but really good seasoning/taste, they are served with fries. Pork fried rice was really nice…had a few beans, carrots, green onions etc mixed in, very generous portion! Fair prices. Bartender working (I can’t remember her name) was so sweet & personable & professional! Attended to all needs. Located in the Renaissance building third floor. Fun fact, the owners of Funky Monkey also own Frog & Monkey in the basement of sane building which we’ve eaten at several times & it’s always delicious.

Absolutely amazing! We went for a Sunday morning brunch, we did not do all you can glest but shared a few dishes between my husband & our 2 kids (5 & 14 ). Stave was super friendly, food was delicious & bottomless mimosas did not disappoint. Ours glasses were filled once they were empty! We will definitely be back; love the atmosphere cute 2nd story restaurant above shops!
