This is a review for Monarch Restaurant at Hotel ZaZa which is Great for Dog-Friendly Dining We dined at Monarch twice during our weekend stay--once for late-night drinks after walking our dogs and again for Sunday brunch before checking out. The outdoor patio is comfortable and super dog-friendly, making it a great spot for pet owners. The staff were friendly and provided prompt service, which made both visits enjoyable. Inside, the space is stylish with a bit of sass, but since we had our pups, we stuck to the patio. Overall, a solid choice for a relaxed meal or drinks, especially if you're dining with furry friends!

Drinks are pretty and tasty. Bread is warm and fluffy. Calamari is delicious. French toast . Yogurt granola parfait is the best you can find. So many options Had room service and to go.

We stayed at the Zaza Hotel and the Monarch is attached. They offered us a $40 bar and $50 breakfast credit for each overnight of the stay. Lovely views from the patio seating. We ended up with room service the first night. Filet for $60, chicken artichoke flat bread. It was served warm, the potatoes with the filet were congealed and not as superb as they were with the buttermilk chicken cutlet the following morning. The flatbread was rather thick to be flatbread, not quite what I was expecting. We ate breakfast on the patio Saturday morning and it was lovely. The food was hot and fresh. The bourbon French toast *chef kiss*. The 4/5 stars was really the quality of the room service, especially on their most expensive dish. I also wasn't expecting room service to bring the tray into the room themselves. We were, erm, not well dressed to have hotel staff in the room.

The Monarch is attached to Hotel ZaZa and is a very solid spot for food. With a $40 drink credit and a $50 Breakfast credit (package deal with a stay at the ZaZa) it was a win for sure....my very first Dark Chocolate Espresso Martini and I could get used to these...just delious....GD picked the Pineapple Nojito and the wife had a draft beer...staff was super friendly and restaurant in general was very upscale. Breakfast the next morning was next level. Wife had the All American Breakfast...had to be more than 2 eggs, plate was huge...bacon was superb...GD had the Pancakes...super fluffy and delicious ...I have the Loaded Breakfast Skillet...and it was definitely loaded...Have it on the radar to hit this place for dinner even if we don't stay at ZaZa.

We spent a fair amount of time here the last time were were in town. This place is great to meet up with people, have a drink or a meal.

The location is great ! It's directly across from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston after a day of fine art, this was perfect. The decor is modern and classy, we chose to sit outside .. which is also beautiful. The food is fresh and delicious ! Honestly the chicken was fried but flavorful and juicy. The greens were fresh the drink was delicious & strong. The service was good, fast and courteous!

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 white wine. The atmosphere here is on the upper scale so recommend business casual attire. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. The redfish arrived and presented nicely. The fish tasted very delicious for it had tremendous flavor and cooked perfectly. The mushrooms and spinach complimented it very well. Next up was brunch and was less busy where I ordered a cup of coffee and the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich. The coffee tasted as if made using a French press. The staff was once again very friendly and my meal once again presented very nicely. I enjoyed this breakfast sandwich where all the ingredients from the eggs, cheese, bacon, and bun tasted really good with breakfast potatoes on the side. Overall I was very impressed with our meals.
