Prince Resorts Hawaii has selected owners of Colorado's award-winning Flagstaff House Restaurant to develop and operate a new restaurant and bar/cafe located in the luxury Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on the Big Island of Hawai'i.

Brothers Mark and Scott Monette will call the new restaurant Monettes. Scheduled to open in March, the restaurant will offer "inventive American French cuisine with island influences in a fine dining atmosphere."

It will also serve several signature dishes from the Monettes' Flagstaff House Restaurant in Boulder such as the Colorado rack of lamb, which was featured on Food Network.

Monettes will also offer a more casual dining experience within the restaurant and adjacent outdoor terrace with the new Bar M Café.

"We are pleased to have the Monettes join our culinary team at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel," said Jon Gersonde, General Manager. "We were attracted to the Monettes as 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."
