Food was great and service was spectacular! The overall setting and decorations were nice. The pricing for the food and drinks was a little too expensive. But other than that, great place!

I enjoyed my time here but it is crazy expensive, so please be aware of that before coming here! I thought it had a very cute cottage-y vibe, but some things did seem a bit creepy. The staff was very kind and helpful while placing orders and making sure we enjoyed everything. Some food came out later than others which was awkward but fine for us. I enjoyed my strawberry shake but something about the banana-caramel soufflé pancakes tasted off to me; it could have been the caramel and banana mix just wasn't for me. My mom and aunt really enjoyed the pancakes and appreciated how fluffy they were, but my friend and I thought they were fine. It was definitely one of the most expensive meals I've ever partaken in and it was breakfast which is typically the cheapest meal of the day. Our seafood dinners later that night ended up being cheaper than our bill here, so I probably wouldn't come back solely because of how expensive it is.

This place is beautiful on the inside I wish I took some pictures. The wait staff were very kind and eager to help. They were very quick and my glass was never less than half full. The Benedict's we had were amazing! I have to be honest the soufflé pancakes were not exactly what I was expecting. I was expecting a fluffy sweet pancake. The pancake itself was very eggy and did not have as much sweetness as I was expecting. Possibly just not my cup of tea. I would definitely go here again for the other menu items, atmosphere and service!

This was truly a beautiful and serene experience. When you first arrive, you will be greeted by a large team. All the service members look polished and are extremely polite. We are escorted to our table for two. It's a quaint space with an elongated community table in the middle of the room. They have their standard menu and daily specials on a chalkboard. We both ordered the Blueberry Lemon Soufflé Pancakes, we shared a side of bacon and 2 coffees. I had the Vietnamese Coffee and it was sweet and delicious. The servings are not large but we are both about 125 lbs. each and it was just enough for the two of us. The presentation on everything was delicate and beautiful. The bacon was crispy, just perfect. The soufflé pancakes were light and eggy and well balanced with their homemade whipped cream. The cost for this meal was about $108 as they automatically include a 20% tip into the bill. And because it was my friend's birthday, they served us a complimentary crepe with a candle and sang to her. I absolutely loved the experience.

Hawaiian Monarch Ground Floor Waikiki, Hawaii There's usually a line of people waiting to get in.....and pleased to say that they are the model of efficiency now. The line moves quickly and there are multiple people to help. The ambiance is cute-French cottage inspired in Waikiki. The soufflé pancakes here are the best in town- very light, not too sweet with a firm texture that breathes yummy. Multiple toppings to choose from- lemon curd, blueberries, sweet s'mores style.....The omelettes too are fluffy and light with delicious fillings. But be prepared--two breakfast entrees and two regular coffees will set you back about $90 with tax and tip. Ouch! Park upstairs and get validated.

Such a cute place in Waikiki to come for breakfast! You can park in the Hawaiian Monarch parking lot and you can get your ticket validated by the restaurant. I would highly recommend going early, as the place fills up very quickly. They have drinks, soufflé pancakes (they are famous for this), baked egg dishes, and eggs Benedict. Lots of variety with dishes. Just to be aware, the restaurant includes a 20% gratuity to your check, with a 3% service charge if you use a credit card.

Yes the soufflé pancakes jiggled! We didn't have to wait long to be seated. We got a seat with a great view by the corner window spot. I ordered the special blackberry lemon soufflé pancakes either a side of hash-browns and my husband ordered the bacon French toast with French onion soup. Yes I would order this exact same three item over again. The food was fresh and delicious! The pancakes jiggled! They were fluffy and the lemon cream was refreshing. The pancake would just melt in your mouth. I asked for my hash browns to be extra crispy and they were cooked perfectly! Super delicious with a dollop of sour cream and chives. My husband absolutely devoured his dish and said it was everything he imagined it to be. We enjoyed our brunch to the fullest! Definitely would go back.

I thought this cafe was charming and quite unexpected. Well, not that unexpected because back home, we watched a helpful YouTube video from the Two Gay Expats who raved about the place. It turned out to be a quick stroll from our hotel. I was surprised to find several lackluster reviews because Jamie W. and I both really liked it even though... The Hawaiian price tags caused a bit of sticker shock. Oh, what the hell, we were on vacation, so we were feeling less critical about this point. We were more seduced by the French country cottage vibe and the attentive service, especially from the attentive ponytailed manager who explained the menu, took our order, and checked up on us. We started with the $9 Kona Coffee with its hints of chocolate, which seemed appropriate considering where we were (photo: https://yelp.to/sjt8trddhn). Jamie ordered the $27.50 Classic French-Rolled Omelet, quite fluffy as the eggs were folded over maple-cured bacon, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, potato, and gruyere cheese. It was accompanied by a mixed green salad and a scoop of white rice (photo: https://yelp.to/AUb32uN9rg). While it was the ideal savory breakfast, I went for the sweet side with the $29.50 Mixed Berries Soufflé Pancakes. They were even fluffier than the omelet and topped with a luxuriant mix of housemade vanilla custard and whipped cream. Surrounded by a circle of berries and drizzled by strawberry coulis, the pancakes were meltably satisfying (photo: https://yelp.to/kLCn1vSmas). FOOD - 5 stars...pricey yes, but the quality was exceptional AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...felt more like France than Hawaii but it made for a nice change SERVICE - 5 stars...the manager was highly conscientious TOTAL - 5 stars...the Two Gay Expats were right RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?
