It&#8217;s overlooking False Creek and you get a pretty nice view of the Vancouver skyline. I got the Lobster BLT and it was REALLY lacking. Melissa had the Hawaiian Seared Ahi Tuna and she liked it. If you&#8217;re hungry though, probably consider avoiding this place &#8211; the portions are tiny!<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAs for the oysters, they were delicious but I can honestly say I&#8217;ve had better. $3.50 per oyster kinda lingers in your mind while you&#8217;re digging into them. The service was also okay, but kinda slow at times (considering the restaurant wasn&#8217;t even busy). For a pretty expensive meal, I would say this place wasn&#8217;t really worth it. If Melissa didn&#8217;t like the food, the rating would probably have been a lot worse.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"middle\">\n<p><b>Overall<\/b> <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"middle\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/M.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/R.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/M.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/R.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/M.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/R.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/M.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rodandmelissa.com\/FOOD\/R2.png\"> (7.5 out of 10)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>www.monkmcqueens.com Food (3.5 out of 5) Atmosphere (4 out of 5) Service (3 out of 5) Price (3.5 out of 5) Comments Tried out Monk&#8217;s at dinner time, and the best part of this is place is the view.
