   I am compelled to write a positive review for this charming small restaurant I recently discovered on a visit to Burlington. Located across from the park where the Farmers Market happens, Monarch is a great drop-in place, that has probably the best quiche I've tasted, with a delicious flakey crust and lovely flavor and texture. The green salad it comes with was also fresh and well-dressed. The day before I had gone to the Monarch for the first time, had coffee and (I confess) a wonderful cinnamon bun - a perfect breakfast. It's a comfortable place to sit with the paper or a journal, very easygoing and welcoming. The other items in the pastry case looked so good it's probably best that I live in another state and can't keep going to the Monarch. But I certainly will again! The only problem I saw on these daytime visits was that it's a small place where table space is limited.

   This was, hands down, the WORST restaurant experience I have ever had in Burlington. I really wanted to like this restaurant. When you walk in, this very modern, clean establishment looks fantastic. The service was warm and friendly, but every single aspect of the food and drink we received fell a mile short of any expectations. The biscuits and gravy were awful, a soup bowl of floury gravy with two very small, hockey puck biscuits. It was so peppery it was inedible and not worth the $10 price tag. The quiche was actually disgusting. The size of a small coffee cup and tasting like it was an egg cooked with a cup of sugar, I couldn't eat more than a single, very small bite. It was served with a salad 3x larger than the quiche itself that was WAY over dressed with lemon juice, to the point where it was not enjoyable to eat and tasted like a low quality sour candy. Most certainly not worth $9. The $4 hash brown was barely a 2 inch cube, and tasted like a chinese food chicken finger. On top of it all the coffee was watery and disappointing, with the only espresso options were Nespresso disposable coffee cups instead of real espresso. When we addressed the issues with the owner, over our plates of clearly uneaten food, we were told they "weren't comfortable" giving us any refund for our $40 meal but were told to "send an email" when we wanted to come back to get something free, even after we insisted that we would never be coming back. Overall, this was the absolute worst meal experience I have ever had in Burlington. I will never be going back to the establishment for any reason and I highly recommend that you spend your money at a restaurant with palatable food such as Magnolia (in the alley behind this establishment) or The Swinging Pinwheel.
