Monettes opening restaurant in Hawaii

BOULDER – Mark and Scott Monette, owners of the Flagstaff House Restaurant in Boulder, will open a restaurant and bar/café at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel in Hawaii for Prince Resorts.

The fine-dining restaurant, named Monettes, is scheduled to open in the 60-acre hotel in March. The menu will be American French cuisine with island influences, as well as some Flagstaff House Restaurant signature dishes.

Monettes will be accompanied by a more casual dinning bar/café named Bar M Café, which will have an indoor/outdoor setting.

“We were attracted to the Monettes because they are one of the few families in the nation to own and operate a highly successful, four-star restaurant over the past 38 years. Their high standard of excellence is consistent with the culture and philosophy of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel,´ said Jon Gersonde, general manager of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, in a statement.

Besides recently being placed in the “Top 10 Favorite Outdoor Dining Spots” nationwide by Bon Appetit magazine, The Flagstaff House Restaurant was also the first Colorado restaurant to be included in the Nation’s Restaurant News’ Fine Dining Hall of Fame in 2004.

In celebration, the Flagstaff House Restaurant will offer a special “island” menu during February and March, excluding Feb. 12-16.
