Monarch at Hotel ZaZa is a testament to what fine dining should embody. The ambiance transports you directly to the elegance of Miami Beach, with a terrace view that adds a cherry on top. The menu is a culinary journey of New American delights - from the succulent lamb lollipops and crispy calamari

My wife and I were staying at the Hotel Zaza Houston Museum District and while there enjoyed two meals at the Monarch Bistro which had a visually beautiful appeal.
Our first meal was dinner where I ordered the Pan-Roasted Redfish with sautéed spinach and mushrooms with a glass of whit
I visited Monarch with my colleagues for lunch. Promptly greeted by hosted and quickly seated. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Server were very courteous and attentive. Place was extremely cold. Food came out on a decent time. We were able to have a good time as a team. My colleague seems to e
Very elegant!!
We really enjoyed celebrating my 55th birthday here. We had a Red snapper dish and a fish with spinach and mushroom... bass, I believe. Try the espresso martini!!!
the chilaquiles are soooooo good! i wasn't sure what should I order and the waitress was very kind and suggested the chilaquiles and omg i was surprised how good they were! as a mexican i am picky with this dish, it is hard to find real chilaquiles, so pls try them!
So delicious after a stressful day flying. Such a comfortable and beautiful restaurant as well.
Tricky one, this. Their take on eggs Benedict uses crab cakes instead of English muffins, which had the potential to be fantastic but were instead so salty my mouth was burning. Overcooked eggs and undercooked asparagus did the dish no favours, too.
But the intent of the dish is there and it was pr
Lovely edifice and a fantastic experience. Great food with pleasant service. Simple foods with a very classy style. I expected far higher prices based on the area and the atmosphere but prices were extremely reasonable per the portions. For a lovely date or a quiet cozy meeting, this is a place to c
The food was fantastic and prices were what I expected....expensive. It was a birthday treat to myself so I didn't mind. I've gone by several times while visiting the museum and I've always wanted to try it. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Loved the decor and the ambiance was nice. I got
It was always nearly full, yet I was always able to get a table or get service. A super-fun atmosphere!
I had the ZaZa Benny for brunch on the patio, it's a crabcake w a poached egg, topped w Choron sauce (look it up!) & caviar. It was delicious!
The tacos demanded a nap. Just sayin'. But that was
I've loved every dish I've had during my stay in Houston. The Cesar salad with grilled chicken made my day when I arrived from a serious travel delay.
The lamb lollipops were delicious, and different from what I have experienced at other restaurants!
Even the chicken sandwich was a great choice fo
My son-in-law treated us to this restaurant yesterday after my granddaughter HS graduation. Excellent service. Our waiter Taylor was great! Only con was it was also my granddaughter Birthday and no cake!
Great place for breakfast even if you aren’t staying at the hotel. Loved the omelette and breakfast tacos. Great service and atmosphere on the patio. Lots of local beer which was nice since we were visiting from out of town.
I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed Monarch. My very first visit to the city before I moved, I somehow ended up here. I kid you not, I tell people I moved here because of their lollipop lamb chops! And it just gets better from there. In the heart of the museum district, it’s the perfect mix of art a
Atmosphere: Chill and Comfy. Either hang out at the bar and grab a drink or on the patio with someone. Covered patio that can be opened when the weather is nice out.
Service: Very friendly & attentive staff
Food: My go-to is the lamb lollipop, the meat balls, with wine. You can never go wrong with
Food was good, though the prices were a bit higher than I would expect based on the dishes. Small menu one would expect masterful and unique execution of a dish. Also being in Texas at least some ability to plate a spicy dish. Sadly the food overall while cooked well was on the bland side and lacked
Excellent experience all of the staff caters to the guests it was an awesome visit
