I have been to Hotel ZaZa for a birthday party back in 2008 and that hotel was absolutely beautiful. They had different themes that you can choose from which was pretty awesome. Well Erica had a gift certificate to there and we wanted to go to the spa. Unfortunately, Sundays only had one nail tech so we could not get a pedicure done together. Therefore, we went to eat at the Monarch. It was a cloudy Sunday but still nice enough to sit outside. We decided to just have brunch. We definitely had to start off with the bottomless Mimosas. (Yum) Then our waiter asked us what we wanted for our 3 course brunch. I had the yogurt parfait as an appetizer then the chicken panini as the entree and finally the trio delight. Erica had the onion soup as an appetizer then the lobster benedict as the entree and finally the trio delight.
The onion soup that Erica had was a bit salty and cheesy. The lobster benedict was delicious! Who could resist the Hollandaise sauce and lobster?! My yogurt parfait was a bit bland yet soothing to the stomach but isn't that the healthy part of it? My chicken panini was okay. To me, it was just a sandwich except it had olive jam in it. The fries tasted different and then I noticed that I was eating that more than the sandwich. The trio dessert consisted of a chocolate truffle, mini fruit tart and bread pudding.
Overall the atmosphere of the place was nice yet the food was mediocre. The service was good too.
