I'm sure if we were there any other time it probably would have been better but if you agree to serve a small group you should be it to the fullest extent. We were there when another much larger group was already coming in. We got drinks and from that perspective the service was good, but we also got food. Understandably it took a while but that's not the problem, I give a lot of Grace for this. Food was edible but definitely not to come back for. I don't see this as a negative review, this place is average.

This place was chosen for a final get together after my bestfriend’s wedding before everyone got on the road to go back home. We came for brunch on Sunday around 10:40. We had a party of about 20 that was split between 5 tables & no one gave the servers any problems. Everyone was honestly just having a good time enjoying each other’s company before it was time to depart. We had others that trickled in just to say a last goodbye & congrats to the newly weds but did not sit to eat or anything. For starters, the name of the restaurant is Rhythm on Monroe but yet no music was playing & it didn’t have to be anything crazy but some light music would have been nice. Technical difficulties maybe? Parking threw us off bc this was our first time dining & there’s no immediate parking for the restaurant. There is a parking lot up the street & some construction going on in the area. Also, just a heads up it is a short walk to the restaurant for anyone w/ mobility limitations. There were barely any other patrons in the restaurant during our time there so I was disappointed about the service being so slow. Not to mention, the servers really didn’t come to clear all the dishes as they should have & left us with some of the menus (not too much of a problem as I just set them on the bench seat). The food was okay. I got the platters & I was so disappointed w the portion size & taste of the conecuh sausage I received. Very small portion & didn’t taste like the real conecuh. My friend’s cinnamon roll wasn’t soft but more firm in texture. Other friends had shrimp & grits but they barely gave her any grits. No one was extremely pleased w the food & it was lacking in flavor overall. I don’t know, maybe everything was due to the cooks in charge that morning. I always say try things for yourself because my tastes are different from yours, but this isn’t somewhere I’d personally wait in a line for.

We came here for brunch with two small children and there wasnt much of a wait to be seated. I enjoyed my non alcoholic brunch mocktails and our food was well seasoned and tasty. The cinnamon roll appetizer was a nice sharable size. I wanted to try the spicy summer peach sauce for the wings which was seasonal. I like my wings crispy and for once they were crispy when they arrived. The sauce was more sweet than spicy but one friend said it was very similar to a mango habanero sauce but not as spicy. And to be honest the thai chilli sauce was spicier. Overall it was a good experience and the staff was nice just a bit slow on clearing dishes and checking for refills.

Very appealing to the eye, clean. I waited until they opened I was the first and only customer at the time. I ordered the soup of the day (steak and mushrooms) a little salty not much flavor and a ton of mushrooms. Roasted brussel sprouts that were burnt and garlic bread that tasted like it was deep fried.. I was highly disappointed. I enjoyed the water at the table and the Greek sauce that came with the Brussel sprouts but I definitely wouldn’t recommend what I ordered. I did sit down to eat and I had to leave immediately due to my lunch break being over so I couldn’t send my food back.

We dined at Rhythm for the first time in celebration of our anniversary. We parked conveniently in the small lot in from of the VBC and were promptly seated for our reservation. The open-air, modern atmosphere was inviting, and we enjoyed a perfect variety of live music throughout our meal. Our waitress was wonderful - incredibly hospitable and accommodating with us having an infant tagging along with us for dinner. We had a nacho appetizer that was delicious and a great portion size. The filet and chicken that we ordered as entrees were excellent, as we were treated to a complementary crème brûlée for dessert in celebration of our big day.

I attended a birthday party at this beautiful establishment. Rhythm on Monroe did not miss chile. The food is delicious!!! We had several appetizers on the table, including the Crispy Fried Brussel Sprouts with Cranberries, Hot Southern Crab Dip with Seasoned Fried Chips, and Chicken Nachos ( specially made for my friend, the birthday girl). I ordered the chicken wings with a side of Sriracha and Sweet Chili Sauce on the side. Both sauces were delicious. I love sweet potato fries, and these won me over. One of the guests ordered the Smoked Duroc Pork Chop with Parmesan Grit Cake and Grilled Asparagus, and he said it was good. I do not eat pork, so I did not taste this item. The plate looked delicious, though. The atmosphere was relaxing with good vibes. I loved the layout of the menu, too, like you are attending a concert. Shoutout to Erica Davis, our waiter. She was the sweetest, most attentive waiter I've come in contact with. Thanks again to the manager, Keith, for checking on us, making sure we had what we needed. I will definitely be back again and hopefully get a chance to catch a live performance next time.

Great food and an upscale experience. Recently changed menu (with the new chef), so I've included pics of our food. As we shared, the hamburger was split in half. Delicious flavor... Burger tastes charbroiled/grilled and was excellent. The fries were fresh. Cream Brulee was chilled, larger than I expected and the sugar coating was perfect at just the right thickness. Staff was highly attentive. Decent prices and definitely worth the experience. Our first time, but we'll be back.

I honestly have nothing bad to say about this restaurant. The food, drink, service, and atmosphere was excellent. The menu has everything from bar food to premium filets. It was surprisingly empty which apparently is common. The servers recommendations were spot on and the entire staff was extremely friendly. The live music upstairs is fun and not too loud. I highly recommend this restaurant for anything from a date night to a business outing.

We stopped in Sunday for lunch between 11 and 11:15. We were going to a 1pm show at the VBC. At 12:10, we still hadnt received our food. It finally came out a few minutes later after asking a couple servers about it. My fries were cold and the chicken in the club sandwich was hard as a rock. Not a good experience all around. The bartender was nice, but overwhelmed. Really liked the harpist. Weve been there a few times now, but will probably look elsewhere. Not really impressed with the food.

Came here for brunch on my birthday and was disappointed. I ordered the fried green tomato egg Benedict. The egg was overcooked- like a dry, solid boiled egg with a fully cooked yolk. This ruined the entire meal, as the runny yolk is what makes the dish. Next time I ll just save my money and properly poach my own egg at home.

Second time there and this experience was not as good as the first. They were slammed with two concerts happening, and a theater show. Everyone came at one time to make their showtimes. The food was better the first time. This time it was more like banquet food. The trout sounded good, but the flavor was bland and the potatoes that came with it were undercooked. The filet was a nice cut of meat, but it came rare when it was ordered medium rare. The searing was good, and the quality made it palatable but otherwise I would have returned it to the kitchen. We only saw our waiter three times: for drinks, for the order and for the check. He never checked to see how the food was or how we were doing. The bar on the roof is a fun place but we suggest that you know go on a night with the Von Braun center is so busy. Meals, with one glass of wine and tax was $107 before tip.

This rating isnt for the food or service since we never had the opportunity to check those things out. Arriving a couple of hours early for a VBC event, and seeing that this place wasnt very crowded, we asked for an outdoor table. The host (manager?) explained that wed have to wait because tables were being held for those who had reservations. No problem. We put our name on the list and took a seat. Wed been waiting for probably 15 to 20 minutes when another couple arrived and began chatting with a gentleman in the line. We heard them tell him that they did not have a reservation and he told them he didnt like to name drop but that hed get them a table. Sure enough, he approached the host, said something to him, and they were seated right away. After sitting there another 20 minutes or so, we were told to go to the rooftop bar if we wanted to be seated. Guess it matters who you are as to how you get treated here. We wont be back.***UPDATE REPLY TO OWNER RESPONSE: I dont know what I could say in an email that would explain any better than what Ive already stated in my review. I will say this: There was only one couple ahead of us when we signed in and they were seated in a matter of minutes. After that, several others who came in were seated while we were left waiting. We were okay with that since we just assumed that they had reservations. However, we specifically heard this couple (who came in much later) tell the person they were speaking to in the line (friend/relative/acquaintance?) that they did NOT have reservations. He informed them that he didnt like to name drop, but that he would be able to get them a table. He then approached the gentleman working at the host stand and said something to him after which they were in fact, promptly seated. What more can be said except that we wont be back unless we become people who can name drop too? At this stage of life, I think thats pretty doubtful. LOL!

I am extremely frustrated with the poor service my family and I experienced during our visit. I made reservations for my parents who were visiting from out of town, and after being seated, we were told a server would be right over. We waited over 20 minutes while servers blatantly ignored us, despite the restaurant being empty. This is unacceptable; there is absolutely no excuse for such terrible service. My family deserved better, and I am appalled at how we were treated today! No Excuse !! I guess this is my welcome to Huntsville Parking: Charged $10 to park on top of bad service

Been in HSV three years. Their amazing rooftop has been poorly managed since they opened. Closed, no gas for heaters, poor service, etc We wanted to love this place. Right now is 77 degrees in the middle of a heat wave - Closed of course. Seen this sign way too many times. Positive note - the downstairs restaurant has pretty good food.

The atmosphere is high-end and very pleasant. Background music on the street level was not intrusive, which I deeply appreciate. This is a tourist venue. The food is mediocre. The outdoor and rooftop seating is very often closed. Its a part-time venue which caters to the VBC traffic. I was slightly disappionted.

Seems like it could be a good restaurant but my wife and I will never know; we were seated at 5:48P and by 6:46P we had to leave the venue with no apps or food ever served and literally 1 drink. Only the second time in my life I ve ever walked out of a restaurant empty-handed.

There were 6 of us meeting before a show. We got there 2 hours before the show. We never got our food. We asked twice about our food. It never came. It was the 1st time I had ever walked out of a restaurant. We all ended up eating junk food at the concert hall. It was a very poor experience.

★★
June 22, 2024

I cannot review the food or take any pictures of the food as our food never arrived. After waiting 11/2 hours for the food to arrive we canceled the order to make it to our show in time. Due to the rain and us having one of the few tables under cover we invited a couple to share our table. They never received the waters they asked for or plates,napkins and forks. Their food did arrive (even though they ordered about 30 min after us). They shared their appetizers with us as we were all going to the same show. After eating we needed to use the bathroom to wash our hands well from having no napkins. It was frustrating, but we did meet some very nice people.

Bar management sucks. Refused my ID because my hair is no longer blonde and it expires in a few months. Was willing to serve my friend. Turning away good customers because she cant read an ID properly. Had to call over other servers who said they would have served me but had to go with her call. Had a sour attitude and watched my friend drink her whole drink like we were going to run off with it just because I was upset. Dont have a 21st birthday here since they dont take up and down IDs and dont come for drinks if your ID isnt at least a year out from expiring. Since apparently thats the rules

The food at Rhythm is quite good. But you should be aware that the kitchen is slow. If you have tickets for a 7:30 show, you really need to be seated at least by 5:30. We were a bit early for our 6pm reservation, placed our orders by 6:15. Our food was delivered at 7:15, leaving us 10 minutes to scarf down our meals and scramble for the music hall. So save yourself some indigestion. Get there really early.

The food and service were terrible. Our server essentially ignored us for almost 20 minutes with no greeting whatsoever. When he finally made his way over, he was snotty to the people sitting next to us and then turned that same attitude to my party. We will NEVER recommend this place and will not be returning.

It started off with a making a reservation. Dawn was the one who would answer the phones. Dawn Is very disrespectful and has quite an attitude. I ordered Egg Benedict with tenderloin beef, It was COLD. Also the person who brought out the food was also rude with an attitude. There was 20 of us who showed up for live music. Multiple times food was Incorrect. Paying almost 100$ for brunch , I have higher expectations. Not worth the wait or the hype.

Came in before it got super busy, took almost an hour to get service despite seeing the waiter and other wait staff helping tables that came in after us. Our water was never refilled, no drinks offered. The food was lackluster for the price point. Will not be going back.

I made a reservation for a party of eight. Our party wanted to enjoy a dinner and a play at the VBC. I made the reservations two weeks in advance to ensure we would be able to eat and walk to the play in a timely manner.I called to change the reservation two nights before and the hostess explained she had no seating; however I was able to make reservations on the website myself. We arrived at 5:30pm and were seated separately. We had to request to speak to the manager in charge, in order to be seated together because the hostess again refused to be accommodating. We were there for over two hours before receiving our food and the server was not attentive to our needs. The food was cold and no apologies were made. This is unacceptable for an established business. The lack of customer service and accountability made for an unpleasant experience.

Husband ordered Reuben. Absolutely the worst sandwich. Meat was fatty and tasteless. Not trimmed. Sauerkraut was really wet causing bun to soak up all the kraut liquid. Really dislike that you had to ask for condiments only to be brought little tiny condiment cups. Put the condiments on the table please. My bbq pork sandwich was ok. Nothing to brag about. No bbq sauce on sandwich so again had to ask for condiment. Drinks were good. We ate outside which we enjoyed. Very loud and bright on the inside. Just not impressed.

Last night, a Saturday night the restaurant was very busy. We had reservations. The hostess, her name I believe was Dawn- had great customer service, and she kept giving us options and then she made sure we got to our table in a timely manner as soon it was cleaned off. She just went over and beyond. I think she should be rewarded for her caring, Professional, warm attitude . Our server was good. The music was good, and I will return..

Place looks nice on the inside, but there needed to be more work on the atmosphere. Louder music and maybe even a piano player during the week. We had a reservation for 730 and were told the place was closing at 8 but would accommodate us. For the most part the staff was cool, by about 830 the dishwasher/busser made eye contact and gave me the dirtiest look. Lol i laughed cuz I get it, but we are still customers.

I will never ever set foot in this establishment again. We were waiting for the symphony, so me and my husband were going to get a drink to waste some time. We looked on their website and it stated walk ins were welcome. The hostess gets super annoyed and kept shaking her head when we said we didnt have reservations. I let her know we just wanted a drink her response was I highly doubt they will be able to get to you. So we will make sure to spend our money elsewhere. If you dont take walk ins then maybe you should take it off your website? I came back to edit my review from 11 months ago. Seeing so many people from 2-3 months from January also making statements about how rude your hostess is and your establishment has still not remedied the issue? That is pretty pathetic. I worked as a hostess before and it is never okay to treat people like dirt. Shame on you rhythm on Monroe.

My expectations was more of a higher standard than the experience. My husband and I went out for Valentine s day early and it was more casual than expected. The food was presented well, but overall bland. I ordered an espresso martini and explained only coffee bars can make this? Odd many restaurants make that?

I love going here. I do feel, however, if you make reservations, priority should be given. I made reservations for two and was placed at one of the very small, round tables for two. It was quite awkward with dishes, glasses, etc. In addition, we were placed right in front of the musician playing, which made it very hard to carry on a conversation over the music. Lesson learned on my part what to specify next time.

Im giving two stars. The reason for the stars are that they didnt seem concerned about how the food tasted or how it was served. I had a salad & I added grilled chicken. I dont know how it was so salty. I told my waitress she wasnt concerned either. It was other problems at the table, but no manager came to solve our problem. The company was great the food/service was not.

Really great food and atmosphere. The only reason service gets a 4 instead of a 3 is because our waitress was so nice. But it took like 20 minutes after ordering our drinks to actually get them.

Was in Huntsville for business on Valentine s Day and came here because most other places said they had no reservations available on the same day. They had a live musician singing. The hostess wasn t very friendly but the waiter was. He was great. Friendly and attentive. The crab dip was really good. Very creamy, seasoned well and the chips very crunchy. The roasted red pepper soup was just ok. It wasn t flavorful and was kind of bland. The pork chop and brussel sprouts were great but the winner was the blueberry bread pudding. That was delicious!

We ordered the curry chicken and pork chop entrees, both were excellent, as was the soup of the day. The chocolate chess pie and peach cobbler desserts were good, They also had a nice selection of beer, which included a pilsner from Straight to Ale that we enjoyed. Our server was friendly and very helpful, and the setting was pleasant.

I have been here 3 times, sat in the bar. The service was fine, the drinks were good but I do have a question Why is your food so salty? and by salty I mean worse than ocean water. Burger was inedible both times, tried the filet this last time and it was equally as salty.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and excellent service!! You haven t lived if you don t try their pork chop OMG!!! We were impressed with the wine selection (not overpriced). I was also really excited that they offer individual French press coffees - and they bring the press to you. We have stopped by for coffee and dessert on several occasions. The managers are great and super responsive. Restaurant have a great atmosphere and good customer service. The one thing I do not care for is the seating on the side of the restaurant by the hotel. The tables are too close to a door they do not control well. Lots of cold air coming in and out along with the heavy smell of smokers coming in and out. As much as I love there food - that is a BIG turn off. You can make reservations online and add a comment - recommend you are specific about where you do not want to sit.

April 2023 follow-up The food (especially the trout) was great, and the service was pretty good. The drinks were ok, but not bad. Would still go again because of the amazing location. visited January 2023 This place is fun and convenient for before or after shows at the VBC. They have upscale drinks and upscale food options. Although the crab dip may have given us food poisoning, it was very tasty. The drinks and food are pretty expensive, but thats expected. The food, drinks and service was high quality.

Rhythm on Monroe was a mixed bag, but mostly not very good. I had the soup of the day (Philly cheese) it was pretty good, a little salty. My wife had the beef short rib pasta, not a whole lot of flavor. My kid had the buttered pasta, she liked it. The Caesar salad was great, had a lot of cheese and vegetables. The biggest downside was the Herb Chicken with Tarragon Glace, it was truly disgusting. I m not sure what Tarragon is, but it shouldn t be put on food. The venue and service were good, but I wouldn t come back if the prices were half as much. Do not recommend.

I called Rhythm on Monroe while I was in the parking lot for a party of 6. I was told there wasn t a wait time currently. I sent two friends inside while I was on the phone. My friends called me and said, They (Steven) will not accept a party of 6. I went inside to confirm the conversation I recently had over the phone. Steven did agree that he heard his co-worker say, There are an availability for a party of 6. However, he will not accept a large number as 6. I was willing to break down my party in two or three groups to resolve the issue. Steven replied, There aren t any way he could seat us at all. Steven was very disgruntled and none acceptive to my friends who are African American. Steven did not apologize the miscommunication nor non-availability of customer seating. I recommend him to take a small course or training to be more diverse in multicultural services for customers or ethics training. Unfortunately, there was others who were African American who were also turned around and one had reservations. Hopefully, this employee can be can be counseled and an opportunity to regain focus on proper service for all customers.

Really good food (Id place it in the same tier as 1892 East or Commerce Kitchen if maybe 1/8 notch below; thats by no means an insult). The service was lightning quick (we were sitting at the bar) despite the place being roughly 85% capacity. The pecan crusted trout was quite tasty, as was the herb coated chicken. My only complaint is using chilled pint glasses for the draft beers. Overall, Ill happily come back for events at the VBC. Definitely get reservations though.

This was not our first visit here however it was the least desirable one. We came with a graduation party and reservations were made well in advance. Some major items on menu were not available because they ran out. The server appeared overwhelmed maybe because no one was helping him with this huge party. The food was good once we got it. The wait was extraordinary for this restaurant. The lamb lollipops were ordered medium rare and came after everyone finished eating and they were rare. They did give us a free dessert and that wasn t as good as our last visit. We will definitely give this place another try. We usually brag to others on how good this place is. We will see.

We booked a reservation for 1230p and arrived on time. We waited 20mins for our server to come to greet us. It wasn t busy but he said they were slow bc of a large party that had just arrived. Yeah, no. However, it took us almost 40mins to get our food. When it arrived, the shrimp and grits had 2 sautéed bell peppers, no mixed greens as was described on the menu. The Brussels sprouts were dried out and burnt, as well as the asparagus. It wasn t a good day at ROM. It was a wasted $41. My daughter had grilled cheese. Her meal looked more appetizing that everyone s at the table. It ll be a while before I return. Parking: In order to eat here, you have to pay for parking. $10. Doesn t make sense.

Not impressed. The food is mediocre at best and not a huge selection. I will say that the bread pudding is the best restaurant bread pudding that I have had. Also, the location is where you have to pay to park..a whopping $10. Not! Shameful. Parking: Closet parking was paid parking but there is a middle area with not many spaces between the 2 paid lots. My friend chose to park on the street across the street from the restaurant.

This place has the potential to be so much better than what it currently is because Ive had some decent experiences here. Its just gone downhill lately. I took my grandmother here for her 74th birthday before seeing The Beach Boys live and it took an hour to get an appetizer. It took almost 30 mins just to get a drink. Then after waiting for so long, they told us basically that they dont know where our food is and that its lost. I spoke with the manger and all she did was say sorry. The server barely checked in on us either, so we were sitting there without water. I dont think I will be back here before a concert at least because it was pretty ridiculous. We left a 20 on the table and just got up and left without paying for anything, thats how bad it was. If we didnt get up and leave then we would have been late for our concert. Im very disappointed.

December 22, 2023

My husband and I had a reservation for 5:45 yesterday. We were going to eat dinner and see The Beach Boys, which started at 7:30. We arrived and were seated promptly but it was downhill from there. We ordered but unfortunately never got to eat. After over an hour waiting for our food, which was only wings and a salad with grilled chicken, we had to leave without eating. We only saw our waiter a couple of times. I m sure he was trying to avoid the situation. We were not the only ones though, all three tables around us also never received their food and had to leave without eating. We all had to take our cards, leave the table and hunt down our server to pay our bills, which to be honest should have been comped. It made what was supposed to be a fun night stressful and irritating. I worked all day and hurried to make our dinner reservation before the show only to leave hungrier than I arrived. We had to eat fast food at 11pm on the way home. I would advise to never eat here before a show. There are countless wonderful restaurants in downtown Huntsville so try one of those. Terrible, terrible experience. I worked in food and bev for years and I have literally never seen anything like it before.

I came into the restaurant after trying to make reservations online. Which it only gave me a option to do a party of 4 but was needing a few more seats. Tried calling the restaurant and it route me to the direction line to the Civic Center. When trying to explain this to the hostess Donna she proceeded to interrupt me well because we don t have any openings. I proceeded to explain that was the reason we tried to reserve earlier and call to see what was some options so we could plan accordingly.Then to have the audacity to ask what number did you call from when I told her she said on you didn t call this number I don t see a missed call. I said well how were I able to booked. Then when my wife arrived she seated us . And still proceeded with the sarcastic attitude.

Roasted potato s were actually home fries in little square s Green beans were raw. Yes I love crispy green beans , but these were raw. Brussels sprouts and crab dip and dessert was good. Probably won t go back. Parking is a nightmare, even on a Thursday at 6pm . Parking is 10.00 to eat not the best food. But we tried. Wait Staff was nice. Hostess had no personality.
