It happens to everyone sometimes. It’s the weekend and you hit snooze on the alarm too many times. Once you actually get out of bed, your stomach is rumbling. You open the refrigerator and realize you’ve yet to do the weekly grocery shopping. There’s only one solution, it’s time to go out to brunch! We’ve found a spot here in Connecticut that has fabulous scenery, delicious food and a bottomless mimosa bar. What could be better than that?
The Flying Monkey Grill & Bar is located in Hartford with window views of the Brainard Airport Runway. You'll probably catch sight of a plane landing or taking off during your meal.
Its going to be hard to choose from all the yummy brunch options. The scrumptious Jet Engine Bennies are poached eggs on English muffins topped with a sriracha hollandaise and jumbo shrimp.
Maybe the hearty Steak Propeller is more your style. This flavorful dish is a steak and cheese quesadilla with roasted red peppers, mushrooms, and caramelized onions over salsa topped with over-easy eggs and sour cream.
If you're looking for something on the lighter side, order the Petit Flight Attendant Frittata. A wonderful combination of spinach, tomato, red onion, and fluffy eggs that is topped with crumbled goat cheese and served in a cast iron pan.
You will want to partake in the bottomless mimosa bar while you dine. Take your glass to the bar where it will be filled halfway with champagne then add your own ingredients from the selection available creating a custom blend.
You can create your mimosa with juices, fruits, purees, and much more. They have a few recommendations available or you can just experiment like a mad scientist.
