The Stout Monk - Oakville, Ontario

It's like the new owners bought this with zero experience in the restaurant or hospitality business. I came here for my friend's birthday and she originally requested the lounge area with the couch and comfy chairs, to which was confirmed and reserved for her. The staff called her the day ... before to confirm her reservation and said the lounge is no longer available - even tho she had it booked 3 weeks prior. Infuriating. The staff called her again the day of to confirm, it seemed super fishy. Our group arrived and was seated at an average high top table right next to the lounge that we saw was given to a group of older women for a birthday. Incredibly disrespectful. Feels like they were paid off by these women to get this spot and couldn't hold any accountability for this error, they never even apologized and instead acted like it was no big deal. Why did my friend's birthday matter less than this group? Why couldn't you say no to this group? If you double booked it, it should have gone to my friend since she booked it 3 weeks in advance. I ordered the caesar salad and paid $7 extra for chicken on top. The size of the extra chicken was smaller than my palm, completely ripped off - I included photos for reference and scale. I used to love coming here in college for nachos but after this last situation, I won't return. Read more

A new spot in Oakville that just recently opened up! Here, you can enjoy delicious dishes while you take in the retro glam vibes of the restaurant! We came in for brunch and were impressed! The food was fresh and plated nicely. You must try their Avocado toast…so good!

It was a bit loud, they got my order wrong, the food was the same you'll find in other bars. The decor was fabulous though, a nice modern aesthetic that was also reminiscent of a slightly older time. I enjoyed my time there. 5 stars

Very enjoyable. Lovely staff, especially Aaron. We really enjoy our visits 😊 An update. Menu has been updated. Price increase and they have removed all the poutine dishes! However still very enjoyable 😉

Not many people when we were seated. Food was pretty good. Steak was cooked nicely but could use a tad more seasoning. The fries and Mac and cheese side were decent! Our server was nice. We got cutlery and side plates after the food was brought to our table. I ... wanted to get a drink refill and got it at the end of the meal. I think they got slammed all at once. It eventually got pretty busy. Nice atmosphere. The bar stool I was sitting in was really wobbly and I forgot to mention it to the server. Definitely coming back! Love love love the Cauliflower bites! Great drizzle and dipping sauce. The portion is big enough for 4 people to enjoy. Overall, excited to try other things on the menu. Read more
