Monarch's Table Dinner Club

Join Monarch's List Dinner Social Club for our second event in Elizabeth! We are headed to Catalina Kitchen & Bar! See notes below for parking, etc. The menu is here: Catalina menu
This is a restaurant I fell in love with immediately, although unfortunately they later took my favorite item off the menu! Nonetheless, I still think this is a great restaurant — very classy yet downright cool. And they have really great food to boot! The name of the restaurant sounds very Spanish, but their menu is labeled as "coastal comfort food", varying from Southern… to Italian… to New England… to Californian! Well, now that I think about it… the Californian part is probably why it’s named Catalina! At any rate, this place is a must-try. And don’t fret about parking — it’s validated at the very expensive attached garage. Another cool fact – Catalina is part of former pro football player/coach, Mike Ditka’s restaurant group!

Join Monarch's List Dinner Social Club for our next event in South End! We are headed to Muraya Colombian Restaurant! See notes below for parking, etc. The menu is here: Muraya menu
Enjoy the remarkable flavors of Colombian cuisine at this beautiful large restaurant in South End. You almost feel like you’re in a swanky social club in this huge dining room, especially when the live Latin music is pumping thanks to their resident DJ several nights of the week. According to the website, the restaurant was “founded by a captivating couple driven by their profound passion for food, cocktails, and hospitality”. Their Colombian food was inspired by their love of the “vibrant culture, dazzling colors, and enthralling history” of the city of Cartagena. Here you can find many complex flavors in their tapas, large plates, and even sushi. You can’t go wrong starting off with the empanadas, arepas, or ceviche. Large plates include arroz con pollo, yuca gnocchi, and the fish of the day. They feature a “for the table” option in the form of a 48 oz. “Cowboy steak”. Muraya is definitely one of the culinary treasures of the South End neighborhood of Charlotte, and it goes highly recommended by all who experience the food and the vibe here.

Join Monarch's List Dinner Social Club at Leluia Hall in Dilworth! See notes below for parking, etc. The menu is here: Leluia Hall menu

NOTE THAT THIS RESERVATION IS AT 7:15pm.
Per their website:
We’re located in 1915 church building, on a plot of land where a congregation first began meeting in 1896, right on the edge of historic Dilworth and fast-growing Southend. A lot of groups — congregations and business owners alike — have called this place home over the years. We’re delighted to be a part of its history, and now we all have the privilege to carry on the story.
As a “steak & surf” concept, our menu at Leluia Hall is centered around prime cuts of steak, entree seafoods, mini tacos with housemade tortillas, fresh takes on steakhouse sides, a full raw bar and thoughtful desserts. Flavors are fresh, bright and tropical with ingredients mostly inspired from the coastal Americas.
