Restaurant Week "Monarch"

Monarch in the Hotel ZaZa has recently undergone a renovation. The new chef has re-vamped the menu and added his own personal flair. Restaurant week found the location packed. We sat at a high table on the patio. The view of the Meacom fountains – divine. Now let’s talk about the food. The prime beef carpaccio was abundant; bigger than most appetizers. The pan seared Seabass was served with a short rib ragout, mashed potatoes and broccolini. Both of the desserts left something to be desired. The Nutella Crepe sounded so appetizing, but fell flat. The vanilla hazelnut tart resembled the frozen grocery store variety. 5701 Main Street; (713) 526-1991
