The Monarch

Great atmosphere! Service was nice, not over the top but pleasant. The cocktails were very good and a solid wine menu that was not run of the mill. Well priced and not boring. As a constructive criticism, I would emphasize execution of the menu. It wasn’t without creativity, though could be more adventurous (for me personally). I would like to say this is the leading edge of where Stillwater should be headed but some room for improvement. I’m excited to go again. We can do it Stilly, show these folks some love. It’s a good start.

The food is amazing. The decor is beautiful. The service is could be a little better but they are just starting out. We went with just the small plates in November. We ordered one of everything to share and were left without anything to serve the dishes to each plate. It was a little awkward but the food was all delicious. They have a huge bar menu and the drinks are unique. I think it would help them if they had a smaller drink menu so the bar tender didn’t have to consult the ingredients for each one. It would be a lot to memorize for anyone. The bar service was slower than the food. Overall, I’m happy to with the quality of the food and getting a place that sources a lot of their menu locally.

This place is beyond stunning. We just popped in for a drink and small bite after an OSU game. The menu is currently limited but we hear more to come! It’s beautiful, the cocktails were great, the people were awesome, and the food was delicious. Go check it out!

Stillwater FINALLY has a craft cocktail establishment. Come for the balanced classic cocktails, stay for their growing list of individual inventions. Beautiful vaulted ceilings, tasteful volume, small plates that are worth the money. Ask Christina for recommendations.

Had a great night with the end of summer bar bites menu. Tony the bartender was great. Chef was amazing and wonderful staff. Can't wait for the fall dinner menu.
