Why it's listed
Perched on the 49th floor of Dallas's The National, Monarch is a modern Italian steakhouse with a serious Wagyu program. Its Butcher's Reserve lists a Japanese A5 filet from Kagoshima Prefecture alongside an American Wagyu striploin from Texas's Rosewood Ranches and a Texas Wagyu carpaccio, with a Rosewood Wagyu filet also featured on the seasonal tasting menu. Provenance is stated on the menu, with A5 reserved for the Japanese cut and Rosewood named for the domestic beef. Currently open and firmly high-end; Michelin lists it as Recommended, not a star.

Common questions
- Does Monarch serve real Wagyu?
- Yes, and it says where the beef comes from. Monarch in Dallas, TX publishes enough detail on its own materials to identify the Wagyu it sells, which is the standard this directory calls verified, last checked on July 16, 2026. That means a named Japanese brand or prefecture with its grade, an American breed status with a named producer, or an Australian producer with a marbling score.
- What kind of Wagyu does Monarch serve?
- Its menu discloses Kagoshima A5, Texas Wagyu (carpaccio, unspecified) unspecified and Rosewood Ranch (Texas) unspecified. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- How was Monarch verified?
- By reading the venue's own current material, its menu, its site or its ordering system, and quoting the line that names the beef. Reviews, aggregator copies and press mentions are not accepted as the source, because they go stale silently. Verification is assisted by AI and every claim is stored with the page it came from, last confirmed on July 16, 2026.
