Wild Monk

Bar, Gastro Pub, Wine Bar

Wild Monk is the culmination of the two greatest things that have ever existed in the history of human civilization, namely, Food and Beer. A human being cannot survive without either of these basic primal necessities. Food is energy, vitality and ultimately happiness. Beer is the contemplation of that beautiful dance and is the most widely consumed alcoholic beverage in the world, third overall only to tea and water. The term gastro pub was coined in the UK in 1991 to describe a new tradition of high quality British bar food. Since then the movement has spread like wild fire through the restaurant world capturing culinary imaginations and racking up Michelin stars the entire way. Great food, killer drink and exquisite service has been the beating heart of this culinary leap. We have looked boldly into the future beyond the trends and hype that will ebb and flow naturally and we are proud to declare we have seen the light. Our mission is to redefine what a modern gastro pub is and to create a lasting tradition of sustainable, high quality and locally sourced food perfectly coupled with mans greatest achievement. craft beer. Socrates said The unexamined life is not worth living. When we examine the life of this proud Midwest dining community we see great local farms practicing sustainability, world class brewers right in our own backyard taking craft beer to new heights and some of the greatest beer drinkers the world has ever known. Demand Quality. Demand Craft. Never Surrender. The dining revolution has already begun.

The service was great but some of the food items were not. The 2 in our party that had the Cubans loved them. Two of us had the fish tacos and they were not very good - the fish had too much breading and they were overcooked and dry.

Appetizers are overpriced and service was no the greatest. We ordered the steak sliders and crab cakes. Steak sliders were $14.00 for 3. They hardly had any meat on them. There were 2 crab cakes about the size of silver dollars and were very dry. Our server was ok but there were 2 others by the bar who were chatting with someone there and not paying attention to the customers.

We were the only people in the place when we arrived for Brunch on Friday. Would've loved to sit outside on such a beautiful day, but the restaurant is on a US HIGHWAY and there's only a sidewalk between the seating area and the passing trucks; the diesel fumes made sitting outside impossible.

TOO LOUD!! Needed Flashlight to read the menu. The Calamari was delicious. The Steak Taco dinner was so-so (meat was overdone, the beans were hard in the beans & rice and it was over-spiced).

Had 2 different flatbread pizzas, bacon wrapped dates & fish tacos. Poor quality food. The tacos had almost no filling & were tasteless. The flatbreads were a minimal amount of cheese (not even what was on the menu) with a bunch of arugula on top

They were a bit more busy than expected, so we did wait for quite a bit to get our food. Nothing that caused an issue, just not typical of the service that we normally experience.
