Owner Zach Rice tells Off the Menu, "With COVID going on, such a big part of Three Monkeys was the buffet-style brunch, and that's something that we don't see coming back, and Three Monkeys as a concept probably needs that to really thrive."
Rice and his wife, Mary, have owned Three Monkeys since 2018. (The restaurant originally opened in 2007.) He says they have a great relationship with their landlord at 3153 Morganford and plan to open a new concept in the space.
"We've got a lot of things in mind and concepts that we had talked about pre-COVID that we're really excited about and stuff that you don't find in Ƶ right now and definitely not in the Tower Grove South neighborhood," he says. "So we're kind of excited about the future."
